Having my own TrueNAS Scale server at home, I've self-hosted multiple apps and projects, + including Nextcloud, Immich, Gitea, Prometheus+Grafana, ngIRCd, WireGuard Easy, and many more.
+I route them all through my Caddy reverse proxy, but since my server is behind NAT, I also have a VPS + that is connected to my server through a tunnel and routes all of the traffic to my server through that + tunnel.
+I also protect myself against data loss with a RAIDZ1 ZFS pool, regular backups (monthly to an + off-site physical drive owned by me and every two days to a cloud storage box), and regular ZFS + Scrubs.
+And everything is encrypted, my pool and both backups with a randomly generated binary file.
+Needless to say, I've got some experience with system administration as well as Linux systems, since I + also daily drive Arch Linux.
+ + + +Some of my projects:

And many other closed-source projects, especially contracts (like NatArt) and the + tens of projects at FEI STU (including multiple algorithms and labeling / data processing systems, + mostly concerned with bio-medical signals like ECG or PPG).
+ + + +About me and my interests:
+I spend most of my free time working on various projects of mine; I've recently decided to expand my + horizons and work on some projects that are not pure computer science. But other than that, I like to go + on walks, listen to music, and I occasionally play video games.
+I also love going rollerblading and I used to play airsoft, but I haven't had the time to play recently. + And, believe it or not, I like to cook and read books as well.
+When I grow up, I want to study mechanical engineering, since I take interest in engineering in general, + not just programming. I'm still not sure which university I want to go to, but chances are that it will + be somewhere in Germany, Benelux, or Scandinavia (or Czechia and Slovakia as a last resort). Both my + parents are successful engineers (chemical, not mechanical though), so I have a lot to live up + to.
+But currently, I'm just trying to survive high school.
