My journey here begins with my friend helping me to decide which linux distro I wanted to run. In the end, I decided on fedora as it is a little more user friendly for a beginner linux user. And as I decided that I was going to force myself to get familiar with intereacting with the command line interface rather than GUI’s, I wanted something a little bit easier to navigate should I need to use the GUI
This is a my blog site introductory post!
Hey there! Chances are if you’re reading this, you are at least a little bit curious as to what I am doing here. This blog is to document the process of me creating a homelab! This is an endeavor to increase my technological independence and my own competency in an increasingly online world.
What do I mean by that exactly? A few things really. One, I wanted a space where I could practice information security, putting into practice the multitude of techniques and concepts I am learning every day in a practical way. Now there are many ways to do that, so why create a homelab? My reason being is that I wanted my work to do a few things. The first, is to develop my overall technological competency. I have lived on computers for most of my life, but never really delved deep into them until the last few years. So I decided to use an old computer I had and set it up as my own personal server, that I would learn to develop and keep secure as I did it.
