Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hi everyone!

I'm a physician and I used to be fully immersed in the Apple ecosystem (Apple Watch, iPhone, Macbook Air, Apple TV, Airpods, etc).

A couple of years ago I landed my first job and I was struck by how the GUI of my EHR (Electronical Health Record) made certain procedures easier, and others more difficult. This got me curious about programming and I started tinkering with Python and JavaScript. From there I discovered Proxmox and fell headlong down the self-hosted/homelab rabbithole. I'm now dual booting Arch Linux and Debian (just in case) on my main laptop. I also have a Proxmox homelab running 20+ useful services on my LAN that I access through a Wireguard VPN from anywhere in the world. It's been a steep learning curve, but the freedom to control what's running on my computer is liberating.

I'm starting to understand why it's called Free/Libre Open Source Software.

Welcome.
