Welcome to the foo.zone. Everything you read on this site is my personal opinion and experience. You can call me a Linux/*BSD enthusiast and hobbyist. I mainly write about tech, IT, programming and sometimes also about self-improvement here. Note that this blog usually does not overlap with what I do at my day job as a Site Reliability Engineer.
