0x02: About Me // Root Privileges Required
Welcome to /dev/null (or as I like to call it, my "Contact" page).
If you're reading this, you've survived my Nginx reverse proxy and the Ghost container hasn't crashed. Good job. Now, who am I, and why should you care?
The Administrator.
I'm the designated driver for this server, and yes, I host this on a cluster in my basement. Because I don't trust "The Cloud". That's just someone else's computer I haven't taken over yet.
I spend 40 hours a week automating 5-minute tasks with NixOS-Flakes until my electricity bill looks like a phone number. If my machine doesn't have a 99.999% uptime, it means I'm either recompiling a kernel or I forgot to pay the power bill.
What is itea.blog?
It's a digital grimoire where I document my descent into self-hosted madness. I cover the hard topics that require a console, not a mouse.
- NixOS & Declarative Workflow: Because why have a working system when you can have one that declaratively fails until you fix it?
- Server-Virtualization & LXC: My goal is to build a
Proxmoxcluster so complex that not even I understand how it works. - BOFH Logic & Homelab Carnage: Over-engineering simple tasks because humans are biologische Interface-Fehler (biological interface errors).
Ground Rules for User Interaction:
- Don't ask for a comment section. I’ve routed all user feedback to
/dev/null. - Read the code. If you don't understand the configuration file, that's a you problem, not a me problem.
- Bring Tea. Black, like my terminal, or green, like my itea.blog accent color (
#46A6C1).
itea.blog – Powered by caffeine and an absolute refusal to let a user touch my configuration.nix.
