Hi! I'm a Linux enthusiast who enjoys pushing hardware to its limits and tinkering with open-source software. If it can be installed, I'll install it – preferably on a device it was never intended for.

# Latest_Log_Entry

[2026-03-04] apt install nginx completed on Buffalo LS421DE. Stock firmware ditched. Trixie is running smooth on this ARM hardware. Content Security Policy (CSP) hardened on Nginx.

[2026-03-09] Developing local thermal database & UI – Version 3.0 in progress

[2026-03-18] Got Debian Wheezy running on the Neo FreeRunner. A long way to go before it's "usable", but we're getting there! :)

[2026-03-19] Got Debian Trixie running on Microsoft Surface 3. Now it's a weather and temperature display.

[2026-04-23] Project highlights since my last log entry. DIY Home Automation & Media

• Custom Power Infrastructure: Engineered a stable power solution for wall-mounted sensors using 12V to 3.3V DC-DC buck converters. This provides reliable, hardwired power, eliminating battery dependency. I am also exploring a UPS-style buffer by incorporating capacitors and diodes to ensure uninterrupted operation.
• Central Control Hub: Deployed a Raspberry Pi 3B (running Debian Trixie) as the primary automation server. The setup features PCB antennas for the RX/TX 433MHz module to maximize range and reliability.
• Smart Lighting & Sensors: The hub monitors ambient temperature data and serves it directly to my Homelab environment, while also providing full control over Nexa wireless switches.
• Legacy Hardware Revival: Repurposed an original Raspberry Pi 1B as a dedicated Volumio music streamer. It seamlessly bridges my Homelab NAS and global web radio stations to my balcony audio system.

[2026-05-10] Learning the Arch-based CachyOS and KDE Plasma for HTPC use, web browsing, and all kinds of work. I've been using it for five days now, and it feels quite nice. KDE Connect controls my media players and Nexa switches.

[2026-06-27] Just installed Android Studio and built a temperature display for Android using Claude.ai!
