* Michael's Personal Site

Hey! My name's Michael. I'm a system administrator from Antwerp, Belgium. I like tinkering with Linux systems, as well as building my own electronics devices. Sometimes I even manage to make programs that aren't ridden with bugs. Just about everything in my daily life is now either modded or entirely constructed by yours truly. Of course, this website is no different. As of 2024-07-25, it has been served to you by a Dell Optiplex 7040 at the bottom right of my desk, and cached by some servers I rent at Hetzner. Who said you can't host at home?
Aside from that, I also like to play videogames, especially Genshin Impact. What's grass again?
