Chilling out in my happy place... Always fun returning to do more crazy things people didn't think was possible. Maybe one day I'll start buying bulk wires and stop cutting all of my own. But I started from somewhere, and that's where it began.

Do you need help figuring out your Wi-Fi situation, network configuration, maybe guest networks... You know you should have backups, and you're not sure if you're doing it right. All the good stuff the big guys get? For the little guy.

This adventure is new for me, I need to get myself out there, I need to show what I do. If you or somebody you know needs help, shoot me a PM. Let's help each other.

In my experience starts back from the IBM DOS era move onto OS2 warp (as of 2015 it was still being used by my previous employer, Windows 3.1 .... Every edition there after.
Server experience started with Windows NT server, and worked with many of the editions since.

I am now working primarily with proxmox, truenas, And various open source software solutions for businesses.

Question 2: I hope everybody enjoyed the bad Bunny concert last night. It was cute that they put a little football game on either side of it. It looks like they had fun at the end. It was a good concert.
