Since October 2025 I am really addicted to mapping for the OpenStreetMap (OSM). It's just soo much fun. A video game that benifits the world really. It really tickles my brain in the right way. I can highly recommed trying it yourself! Simply visit openstreetmap.org, hit the big "Edit" button, create an account and start mapping! The iD editor gives you a quick and easy introduction and is very easy to use :)

Self-hosting different open-source services is something I am really interested in. I just recently started and already learned a ton. My Beelink S12 Pro Mini at home has been running day and night without much trouble. I am using Caddy as a reverse proxy and using NixOS as the operating system. Nix and Docker/Docker Compose make it really easy to deploy services. Just look at what it takes to setup Audiobookshelf for example: NixOS Audiobookshelf Options. My dashboard lists every service I am hosting:

I am a big fan of open-source software and I try to contribute to projects whenever I got the time and I find some bug or I am looking for a new feature. Sometimes these are just very small things. Sometimes I really get into it. I also like to contribute to the Wikipedia when I notice something is wrong (Wiki Userpage). (Software) projects I contributed to (wrote code for) (the list of issues is much longer):

• typst | Repository
• obsidian-latex-suite | Repository
• archinstall | Repository
• Arch User Repository | ArchWiki
• enmap | Repository

As I mentioned in the context of Jambo on the work page, I am part of Discord server where we do monthly coding jams. From there and just my every day life I have a whole repository full of small projects like riddles, challenges and all kinds of thingies. For example do I like to participate in the Advent of Code every year or do something fun for the Pi-Day. Most of the projects are not finished nor polished at all 🙃 And that's okay! This is my having fun repository.

I guess this website is also one of my side projects. I build it with SvelteKit, Tailwind and deployed it with Vercel. First I tried using Fresh, Deno and Deno Deploy because I fell in love with Deno but I am just way too new to web development and wasn't up for it. Then I used Nuxt but it wasn't a good fit either. I really don't like web development but it's kinda just what you have to learn in order to built things like this... I am pretty happy with SvelteKit now though :)
