I like to explore und understand technology, and share my understanding in an acessible way on my blog. I also created two playgrounds: systemd-by-example.com is a playground that allows you to experiment with systemd from your browser, and activitypub.academy is a Fediverse instance that allows you to explore the ActitivyPub protocol in real time.

@jihyeok Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for the offer of support! But money at the moment is not the issue. Unfortunately, I just don't have time at the moment to implement proper monitoring and making the system more resilient.
