About

Hi there — and welcome!

You’ve stumbled upon my quiet spot online. I’m Anne (she/her), a DIY geek kind of girl living in the wonderful city of Amsterdam.

Some time ago, out of curiosity, I started building my own private server from collected scrap parts. I wanted to understand how the internet actually works. So I got myself a domain name and figured out how to set up and manage my own mail server running on Linux.

I quickly discovered the simple joy of being independent — and how empowering it is to understand things because you’ve built them yourself.

While tinkering, I learned a lot from others who shared their bits and pieces online. That’s exactly what this small corner of the web is about too. Maybe you ended up here while figuring something out, just like I usually do. Hopefully you find a few answers here – or at least some inspiration. Happy to help :-)

These days I’m still hosting my own private mail and web servers, while basically living my life in plain text.

Feel free to get in touch: anne@minded.net

Thanks for stopping by — stay curious!

x Anne
