About

Hi

I’m Tim, a student from Austria who likes to dig into systems until they make sense. Mostly that means Linux, self-hosting and the messy but satisfying work of data curation and privacy protection. Also: I collect vinyl and tapes aaand I’m unreasonably opinionated about audio setups.

My rule of thumb: if I don’t know, I say so. I don’t BS. If I do know, I speak up. That’s why this blog exists. I care a lot about geopolitics, digital politics and its culture. I try to separate signal from noise, admit uncertainty when it’s there and still take a stance when I’ve done the homework.

What I’m into:

• Interests: Linux, self-hosting, vinyl, data curation, privacy protection, geopolitics, digital politics, digital culture and gossippp
• Favorite games: Half-Life 2, LEGO Universe, Far Cry 3, Portal 2
• Favorite movies: Les Misérables, Life of Pi, Shutter Island, Inglourious Basterds and Threads
• Favorite languages: C#, Rust, Haskell
• Top 5 Albums:: Kanye West - Ye, Bilderbuch - Mea Culpa, Mac Miller - Circles, Cro - tru, LAAS - LMS

Got questions? I’ve answered a few on the FAQ. If you want to support the work here, you can buy me a coffee.
