I'm a musician and a geek, who works full time as a DevOps engineer, whatever it means. Thanks to my job, I know how to run self-hosted services pretty well, and that's helping me achieve my goal of bringing the indie culture everywhere I can. I'm trying to separate myself from global companies as a user as much as it's possible in my daily life.  

Also, I'm a Linux lover, what doesn't really correlate with my will to make music. I hope that one day we will see that developers will see that Linux is a real OS that can be used as a daily driver. And building software for Linux is important just like building for MacOS and Windows. I hope that we will be able to use not only open source solutions working on Linux, but also closed-source proprietary ones.

### Music, Beats and Arrangements

## Music

> I always thought I was a musician
[Check out what I've got](https://funkwhale.badhouseplants.net)

You can find everything I consider ready enough to be shown on my [FunkWhale](https://funkwhale.badhouseplants.net/library) instance. Also, my music can be found on many streaming services, and yes, I know that it's not a very independent way of doing things, but it's one of many exceptions 🙃. 

All of my beats are waiting for somebody to do something with them. I'm giving them all for donation, so if you happen to like any, just shoot me a message. I can re-arrange and remix them as much as possible. I can mix your tracks, and I really will to do that, it doesn't matter what kind of music it is, I'm ready to work with everything, if I like it *(at least a little bit)*.

## IT

> I'm a DevOps after all
[Visit my gitea](https://git.badhouseplants.net)
For I'm a DevOps I'm working a lot with Kubernetes, Containers, Linux, etc. And that's the root of my intention to move to Linux completely. 

I hope I will do my contribution to the world of Linux music production too. I'm hosting my own Gitea instance. There you will be able to find all my code (or almost all of my code).

If you made it to here, you might think that it's the point of all of this existing. Self-hosted blog, a music streaming service, and git. **This guy is just a fucking geek! **

And yes, you're partially right. The main reason it exists is that I'm trying to follow and promote `indie/punk` culture, that is not only applies to arts. And that's going to be covered in my posts, I hope.

### If you're still here,

I'm looking for people with the same mindset as me, to make music or to code together, or anything. So I would be happy to get connections on [Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@allanger)
