Setup

This is a description of my homelab setup

Nowadays a lot of services require an online connection. My initial motivation was getting my stuff offline during covid. Thats why I build the home server. From there I started tinkering wit FOSS software, the Fediverse and a short time later single board computers and open hardware. Now I have dug down to repurposing old hardware and advancing what I call "freedom tech" which makes it possible to start using old hardware for production use again.

The most important projects I am heavily invested into (both financially and ideologically) are:

• PostmarketOS (freedom to "own" things)
• Fediverse (freedom of speech, freedom from advertising)
• RISC-V (freedom to make your own hardware)

Feel free to contact me on matrix (@haui:matrix.giftedmc.com) or on mastodon (@haui@mastodon.giftedmc.com) if you have further questions or need help with your setup.
