A blog about self-hosting, web development, Linux, and more.

I'm Ariel, known online as fullmetalbrackets, a tech enthusiast and hobbyist coder. Welcome to my blog. I mostly write for myself, each time I figure out how to install or run a new thing, I write down how I did it for future reference. I hope my writings will be helpful to you. Thanks for visiting!
