Welcome back to my blog! Yes, it's time to get back to basics again. But why
now? There are several reasons for this, which I may discuss in more detail in
future posts. For now, let me recap on two things. 

Firstly, the recent rise of the ["Digital Independence Day"](https://di.day/en)
events in Germany, has inspired me to become even more digitally independent.
Since joining the [local Chaos Computer Club](https://c3l.lu) over 15 years
ago, I have been on a mission to leave big tech behind. This has led me to
self-host most of my digital tools and start blogging again.

The main reason, though, is that the web is fundamentally about sharing
information, not just consuming it. At a time when content generated by LLMs
seems to dominate the web, it's more important than ever to have content
written by humans. This is my attempt to contribute to this. I may blog about
my views on AI in the future.

What can you find here? As I write on the ["About" page](/about/): 

> This blog is my place to capture my thoughts before they disappear. It'll most
> likely include little things from my day-to-day life, things I've been reading
> about and recurring ideas, as well as the occasional rabbit hole I've fallen
> down. There won't be a theme or a schedule, but it will be a space where I can
> collect all the things that I find interesting and share them with you.

Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope to see you again soon! You might want to subscribe to the [Atom feed](/blog/latest.xml)!
