About me.

Homelab enthusiast, IT apprentice, anime fan.

I'm Fabian, 22, from Germany — currently doing my IT apprenticeship (FISI) and spending my free time building and maintaining my own server infrastructure.

What started as curiosity turned into a full Proxmox homelab with 16+ VMs and LXCs running around the clock. I self-host everything from media servers to game servers — because full control beats convenience every time.

Outside of tech: anime (obviously), Star Wars, open-source rabbit holes, and anything LLM-related.
