I'm a lifelong tech enthusiast who's been tinkering with servers, networking, and Linux for 20+ years. I run a homelab with three Zimaboards, a growing ThinkPad collection, and a Proxmox server that may or may not have cost me my electric bill sanity.
I also flip gear on eBay and ShopGoodwill — ThinkPads, music equipment, networking hardware. If it's tech and it's interesting, I've probably taken it apart and put it back together.
