I like to write from time to time and have used this space since 2005 to write about various things in my life. If there is a theme to this blog, it's things that I find interesting.
I have a background in system administration and programming, turned product owner, turned IT architect. I have built computers and played with servers since my early teens. When I started working, I built and administered HPC clusters, and later moved on to more classic servers.
I love to write code, mostly around Linux, and find containers, security, and provisioning interesting. I have spent a considerable amount of time with these topics both professionally and privately.
I prefer my own cloud over the public kind, both for privacy and fun reasons. I have gotten a little more pragmatic with age, realizing that I have to prioritize what to spend my time on.
Social Media
I primarily use my self-hosted Mastodon server at @nsg@nsg.cc for my social media needs. Before that, Twitter (nsgb) served a similar role, but I have mainly stopped checking there. I also have a Bluesky account that is more or less just reserved.
Code Hosting
I claimed my username at GitHub when it was brand new, but did not really use it until three years later. In 2023, I claimed an account at Codeberg. I also have a more or less unused GitLab account.
I have run my own e-mail server for about ten years. If you would like to email me, just send a message to nsg at this domain. I hope that I can respond.
