# About

Hello stranger,

This is a blog about my adventures into functional and procedual programming and system configuration + some politics maybe. Topics covered are NixOs and general Linux/DevoPs stuff. Programming in C, Rust, Zig and Lisp.

Formally educated as a security professional. Self thaught Linux admin with special interrest in virtualization, contaniers, kubernetes and NixOS. I love the Linux desktop <3 (running Sway and Emacs). Currently looking to level up programming with Rust and C. Looking to make cli applications, or platform engineering.

## Some quotes

Random assortment of quotes, might be inspirarional.

We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energgoies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too." - John F. Kennedy
