Crafting My Art 🖼️

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

Welcome Everyone, Today I decided to write another blog post after having a conversation with a friend. I asked him what should the topic be today and whether it should be a blog or more of a tutorial. He suggested a tutorial so I decided why not write on how I set up my Dev Environment. So read along while I explain how I set this up and why I chose said apps.

Building My Digital Playground 🛝

Introduction

Welcome to Post Number 2. To start, around 2015, I got the itch to do a little more than just build computers and repair them. Don’t get me wrong, I still do that, and it is still very much a thing I tend to enjoy, but finding the right people to build for or someone with the budget can be hard at times. I started to learn Linux around this time and was very fascinated with how it worked. It was a little hard at first since the person who showed me. It showed me exclusively how to use it via CLI and not a GUI. After getting the hang of how Linux worked, I bought a server from that same friend, which started the HomeLab journey and the transition to the first part of the lab.

Proton

Proton is like if you want to use Google, but also tell your Government. NOT TODAY SATAN.

I’ve been using them since about 2019 as well going on 5 years and have invested close to $2000 over the years on the sub alone. The reason for the high price is I am locked in on the Visionary Plan.
