[SYSTEM] Teaching you to take control of your digital infrastructure
[HELLO_WORLD] I'm a self-taught enthusiast who's been exploring the world of self-hosting for over 7 years. What started with a simple Home Assistant setup to control a few smart lights has evolved into a passion for helping others reclaim their digital sovereignty.
> Like many of you, I got tired of subscription services, data mining, and not truly owning my digital life. When I discovered I could run my own services on hardware I control, everything changed. That first successful Home Assistant deployment was my gateway drug into the incredible world of self-hosting.
Small Proxmox cluster running 30+ containers and VMs
Running Ollama, LLMs, and AI tools completely offline
Zero-trust networking, local DNS, and encrypted everything
GitOps deployments, automated backups, and monitoring
> I believe everyone should have the option to control their digital infrastructure. Through LocalHake, I create beginner-friendly tutorials and honest hardware reviews to make self-hosting accessible to everyone - from curious newcomers to seasoned admins.
