From ECDL to building, installing and deploying custom multimedia towers for trainers all over Carinthia. On the side I helped improve the customer management systems.

My homelab is based around a decomissioned google search appliance running Proxmox VE
At the moment I run LXC containers for network management (pi-hole, nginx proxy manager, iventoy), monitoring and data presentation(prometheus, influx, grafana), managing my data (vaultwarden, forgejo, navidrome)
Besides the LXC containers I also have some QEMU/KVM VMs that run nginx, mariadb, home assistant and some game servers.
This setup has allowed me to help friends and family by re-imaging their laptops just by plugging it in to my network, and deploying new websites/services within minutes. With my own wireguard setup I can do all of this from anywhere with a network connection.
As a full time nerd it's hard to get me away from my computers. If I'm not shooting internet spaceships I'll be working on some new website or bot or upgrading my homelab.
You might be able to lure me out of the house with a good movie or a day of skiing, but it won't be long until I'm hammering away on my keyboard again.
As a kid I was either reading something, playing on my gameboy or trying to take electronic devices apart to figure out how they work. When we got our first family PC I would mess around with the files of games until I broke them... or something else.
At some point my parents must have gotten fed up with me messing with the shared PC and got me my own. Now I would spend my time modding some RTS like Red Alert or Dune 2k, reading tutorials or wiki pages, and mindlessly clicking through categories on Startpage.
When WoW came out, and I was too broke to pay for a subscription, I tried hosting a private server. Turns out it wasn't all that easy, and you need to understand some networking to get people to connect to your machine. And you need to edit the database to create and manage accounts. And it's probably best to have a website so people can create their own accounts.
So with this fresh interest in web development we moved to Austria and my parents opened a bed and breakfast, where I took over managing the website (Wordpress on a managed webspace). Fed up with going to school, I decided to get a job instead, without any training, in a foreign country your best bet is going into tourism, so I became a ski instructor.
During that winter season I learned enough German to get an apprenticeship as a systems administrator, and from there it basically escalated.
