-**Welcome to your public WPLUG profile!** 📚
+I run infrastructure like it owes me money. Four-node Proxmox cluster, three Portainer VMs, split-horizon DNS, HAProxy with CrowdSec bouncing at layer 4, appsec on every inbound proxy, and a central LAPI that remembers every offense for 72 hours. The stack is AlmaLinux (SELinux enforcing, obviously), Cockpit on every VM, and anything that doesn't have a WebUI gets containerized or replaced. If it runs on Linux, I have probably tried to break it.
-This is your personal space within the collective. Use it to introduce yourself, list your contributions to the wiki, or share your self-hosting projects.
+I got into tech the same way a lot of us did: it was the only place that made sense. Reading documentation for fun, finding the logical holes, figuring out how things actually work under the hood. Fiction never held my attention, but a well-written man page? That I could read for hours.
-**Owner's Note:** Only you (and administrators) can edit this page. Feel free to clear this template and make it your own.
+**What I'm running:**
+  * **GitLab**—version control, CI/CD, the usual
+  * **Vaultwarden**—passwords stay on my hardware
+  * **Navidrome**—music, self-hosted
+  * **Minecraft servers**—because uptime practice should be fun
+  * **Monitoring & alerting**—if something breaks, I want to know before the users do
+  * **Gamja**—custom container for the WPLUG web IRC client (not dockerized upstream, so I fixed that)

+**What I believe:**
+Linux is not a niche skill. It is the backend of the entire internet. Every website you visit, every service you use, at some point, is just a Linux distro on a computer in a datacenter. The goal is to show people that this is not magic. It is logic, documentation, and persistence. The WPLUG's first lab will probably be something dead simple: "How to Block Ads for Your Entire Network." Pi-hole or AdGuard Home. Twenty minutes, and suddenly your whole house has fewer ads. An excellent gateway drug.

-**Guidelines:**
+**Why WPLUG:**
-  * Share knowledge freely.
+My partner told me I needed a hobby I would actually get in trouble for neglecting. The WPLUG bylaws say we must hold meetings. If we do not, the group dissolves. Therefore: I have a hobby with consequences. Perfect.
-  * No gatekeeping—keep the "Curious" welcome.
-  * Keep it FOSS.
