Yes, that&rsquo;s how it was, I admit - even if I don&rsquo;t know who or what drove me to do it. But I have a rough idea: I think it was a child&rsquo;s intrinsic motivation to find out how this computer in front of him works that made me do it.</p><p>Be that as it may, one of my “programs” looked something like this (yes, partially german):</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-batch data-lang=batch><span class=line><span class=cl><span class=p>@</span><span class=k>echo</span> off

I think I read the entire textbook when I was 11 or 12 years old. Anyway, at some point I switched to Linux (initially <a href=https://linuxmint.com/>Linux Mint</a>) - then came COVID-19<sup id=fnref:2><a href=#fn:2 class=footnote-ref role=doc-noteref>2</a></sup>.</p><h2 id=covid-19>COVID-19<a href=#covid-19 class=hanchor arialabel=Anchor>#</a></h2><p>For students, COVID-19 and the associated homeschooling and isolation meant one thing above all: a lot of time. They used it in different ways. I used it to pursue my new hobby intensively. During this time, I learned new programming languages like Java (partly for Minecraft plugins, <a href=https://git.privacynerd.de/BlueFox/MC-Plugins>here</a> you can find some), and even taught myself some C and assembler.</p><p>During this time, I was given my first Raspberry Pi - with far-reaching consequences. Because it led to me turning more and more to the hardware side. While I had previously written web apps with a database in <a href=https://www.djangoproject.com/>Django</a> or <a href=https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/>Flask</a> and Python, I was now programming simple blinking circuits, then at some point scripts that read sensor data and displayed it on a small OLED display (0.96") or switched the lamps in my room on and off at the touch of a button (because a light switch is not enough!). During this time, I also discovered for myself a 3D printer that had been sitting around almost unused for a long time.</p><figure><img src=/en/posts/2025/04/how-it-all-began/esafep.jpg alt="Picture of the ESafeP - a wooden ”safe“ with its own software"><figcaption><p>The ”ESafeP“ - very stable!</p></figcaption></figure><p>Things got even more hardware-oriented with my first ESP32 - new ideas emerged and with them new projects. A self-built safe (super safe made of wood!) with my own <a href=https://git.privacynerd.de/BlueFox/ESafeP>software</a> was just as much a part of it as my own <a href=https://git.privacynerd.de/NetSpeaker/NetSpeaker>MP3 (and much more) player</a>. The 3D printer was also used time and again, as it is common in the DIY space - for example for the housing for my battery-powered <a href=https://git.privacynerd.de/BlueFox/losungepaper>ePaper showing the german ”Tageslosung“ - a verse from the bible for every day</a>.</p><figure><img src=/en/posts/2025/04/how-it-all-began/netspeaker.jpg alt="Image of a finished, self-made NetSpeaker in housing - which is (not) just MP3 player."><figcaption><p>A NetSpeaker</p></figcaption></figure><figure><img src=/en/posts/2025/04/how-it-all-began/losung-epaper.jpg alt="Image of the finished ePaper, which displays the current daily verse of the bibel (german ”Tageslosung“)"><figcaption><p>Losungs-ePaper (showing a biblical verse of the day)</p></figcaption></figure><p>All in all, the corona pandemic had opened up previously unimagined new spaces, at least for me, and also had its positive sides: During this time, I developed an interest in 3D printing, which could also be the subject of this blog.</p><h2 id=until-now>Until now&mldr;<a href=#until-now class=hanchor arialabel=Anchor>#</a></h2><p>Well, not much has changed since then. At some point, self-hosting got a thing for me, and I also got to know wood as an exciting material (as already mentioned above). It&rsquo;s so cool to see what you can host yourself: your own file synchronization service, your <a href=https://git.privacynerd.de/>own Github</a>, media servers, and so on. Initially, everything ran on the aforementioned Raspberry Pi. Later, however, access from outside the home network was required, and since then many services have been running on a rented server.</p><figure><img src=/en/posts/2025/04/how-it-all-began/gitea-a-self-hosted-github.png alt="Screenshot of my self-hosted instance of Gitea"><figcaption><p>A ”self-hosted Github“</p></figcaption></figure><p>Not so long ago, I had an idea: I was learning to etch circuit boards myself, and the information I was getting was mainly from other makers&rsquo; blogs. Thus, why not write about what you do? On the one hand, it could actually be that someone looking for it might find their way to the blog, but on the other hand, it&rsquo;s simply a useful way of documenting it, and maybe even something good for future job applications.</p><figure><img src=/en/posts/2025/04/how-it-all-began/etching-station.jpg alt="Picture of a setup for manually etching circuit boards; in the picture: a self-built UV exposure unit, an etching unit and a container with caustic soda solution"><figcaption><p>The etching setup</p></figcaption></figure><p>So, I sat down and looked for ways to create a blog. Of course, it had to be self-hosted, and maybe even a bit self-made. This led me to <a href=https://Line truncated
