Tech Stuff

Welcome to my corner of the web where I document my technical adventures. I've been into computers since early childhood — and well... I never really stopped.

Open source enthusiast since Windows 98 (the last one I ever used), I've been running Linux since 2000 and have a strong tendency towards self-hosting.

Here you'll mostly find:

  • Home automation: Home Assistant, Zigbee, OpenTherm and other goodies
  • Self-hosting: because my data stays at home
  • Technical workarounds: solutions to problems nobody asked to solve
  • Experience reports: the struggles, the wins, and everything in between

The goal? Document what I do so I can remember it later, and if it helps someone struggling with the same issue along the way, that's a bonus.

Happy reading!

I'd been thinking about it for a while: a personal blog to document my Home Assistant tinkering, my self-hosted experiments, and generally everything that makes me proud in my little geek corner. Something simple, not too time-consuming, and visually acceptable without having to get my hands too dirty with frontend work. Yuck.
