Amman

Jordan (Spawn Point)

My spawn point! The hills, the Roman Theater, the energy. Amman is home.

Places I've been

  • Amman

    My spawn point! The hills, the Roman Theater, the energy. Amman is home.

  • Zarqa

    A lot of my childhood was here, with family and friends. My roots, basically.

  • Aqaba

    Red Sea, beach, no rush. A very good combination.

  • Jarash

    Walking between those ancient columns really does feel like going back in time.

  • Ajloun

    Pine forests and an old castle. I loved how green it was.

  • Dead Sea

    Lowest elevation on Earth (-430m), can't go lower!

  • Istanbul

    A week that felt very different from home. I loved the scenery too.

  • Jeddah

    Walking along the Red Sea felt like being in a movie.

  • Medina

    Such a peaceful city

  • Sharm El Sheikh

    Great hospitality, and conversations with people from all over the world. That was my favorite part.

The someday list

8 Destinations

Not booked. Just a list that keeps getting longer.

Fun Facts & Stories.

A few things that explain a lot about me.

So, how does that work?

I have been the curious tech kid for as long as I can remember. My dad is a computer engineer, so he got ALL the questions. If I asked what a driver was, the answer usually involved reinstalling a computer and finding out for myself. I loved learning that way.

The less fun part of growing up

I got bullied at school for some strange things. Being clean, even my skin color. Racism is bad for everyone. Those experiences were not easy, but they are part of what shaped me.

Apparently, I am a robot

People sometimes call me a robot, or say I am like ChatGPT. They insist it is a compliment. I am still deciding, lol.

What I actually use.

The tools I keep coming back to. Personal preferences, not sponsored recommendations.

Daily driver OS

Fedora Linux

My daily driver. I like a clean GNOME desktop and a Linux system that stays current.

VPN

Tailscale

How I connect my devices and homelab without turning the network setup into another project.

Router

OpenWrt

My router, my settings. I use it for DNS blocking, traffic management, and more control over my network.

Open source

FOSS

I like being able to see how my tools work, change them, and leave when I want to.

macOS firewall

LuLu

On macOS, I use LuLu to see which apps are trying to talk to the internet. Some of them have a lot to say.

Virtual machines

UTM

For running Linux environments on my Mac without borrowing another machine.

macOS automation

Hammerspoon

Little bits of Lua that make my Mac behave the way I want. Window management, hotkeys, that kind of thing.

Games I keep coming back to.

Good stories, strange worlds, and one more attempt.
