Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful Easter. 🐣🌷

May this season bring renewal, hope, and time to appreciate the moments that matter most. ⏳

If you can, consider supporting an open-source project—these communities play a vital role in building and maintaining the digital infrastructure we all rely on. 🚀

And may we move closer to a world where peace can truly prevail. 💛

The new server rack is almost alive! 🔋

It features multiple Raspberry Pis running Podman containers, a dedicated backup server, and plenty of storage — basically a self-hosted powerhouse. 🗂️

The custom PC frame at the bottom started as an OpenFrame case and now fits perfectly in the shallow rack. 🖥️

Just a few parts left… can’t wait to see it fully operational. ⚙️

Do you run your own server setup? 🪄

Chemnitz Linux Days 2026 – A Huge Success! 🎥🖥️🐧📚

It was amazing to explore the latest in open-source, hardware, and software – and even give a talk myself. 🙉

A personal highlight was OpenStreetMap + Minecraft, bringing real cities to life in 3D. 🌍

Other exciting topics included PCB development and Raspberry Pi alternatives “Made in Germany.” 🧮

A big thank you to the Chemnitz Linux Days team (@clt_news) and all sponsors! 🙏

Many projects stay stuck on platforms like GitHub, even when they want to move to open-source alternatives. Fear holds them back – fear of losing followers, stars, or visibility. 🚨

At some point, you just have to take the leap. It’s intimidating, and yes, you might give up some reach and convenience. ⚙️

But the payoff is greater: true independence, full control, and a community that genuinely cares about your project. 🚀
