My current volunteer work experiences
- since 10-2021: working on some self-hosted stuff, under the name of Infrastructure as a Shitpost
- skills used and learned during this: self-hosting things; containerisation (in the form of Docker); reverse-proxying some hosted services (via nginx); writing proper documentation for said things, mainly intended for myself; moderation of communities
- a selection of currently hosted things:
- GoToSocial (a Fediverse server written in Go)
- HedgeDoc (a collaborative markdown editor)
- Immich (a way to have my camera roll outside of Google's and Apple's hands while still keeping it accessible for myself on the go)
- The Lounge (an IRC bouncer and web client)
- Miniflux (a RSS reader)
- Vaultwarden (a password vault and manager)
- Owncast (a platform for myself to stream on, outside of Twitch and YouTube)
- contributing to some open-source projects
- BashTube, an alternative YouTube frontend hacked together and written in Bash, as shown briefly on the left in a GPN22 talk
- GoToSocial, a Fediverse server written in Go (smaller bugfixes and theme contributions count, right? …right?)
- I also am maintaining a patchset for my Fediverse instance, gts.apicrim.es

Other forms of experiences
