👨💻 I'm a retired web programmer with a few decades of experience, mostly forged in the fires of the dot-com era — through failed IPOs, chaotic management, and ever-changing standards. I’ve always believed that while no language, stack, or tool is perfect, there’s always room to improve — and learning never stops. Those who stop learning? That’s where the bugs (and burnout) creep in.
🛠️ These days, I spend time crafting Python scripts for Jellyfin — focused on improving media libraries by identifying resolution inconsistencies, cleaning up metadata, and catching structural issues in large collections.
🧰 I’m also a passionate self-hoster. I run AdGuard DNS on a Raspberry Pi 3B (DietPi) to block ads across my network, and I love experimenting with services on both my PC and Pi. That said, I’ve hit my limit — I read r/selfhosted and other blogs religiously, but I'm not on a mission to install everything. Quality > clutter.
💬 Ask me about old tech, new tech, or how to keep your media server running like a well-oiled machine. Or just talk to me about the important things — like why Blackadder is still brilliant, or why anime like Chivalry of a Failed Knight and Trapped in a Dating Sim are more insightful than they look.
📚 I read constantly — westerns, mysteries, and sci-fi. Favorite authors include Louis L'Amour, William W. Johnstone, L.E. Modesitt Jr., and Rex Stout.
