Finally, a place of my own
I’ve been carrying this idea around for years: my own blog, public and private. Not just a place to write things down, but a real home base — something that’s entirely mine, where I can put down whatever’s on my mind.
It never stayed just an idea — I tried multiple times. From WordPress to Ghost, several platforms came and went. Every time it stalled somewhere: too much hassle, never quite what I had in mind, or I lost momentum before it was actually finished.
Why now, and why like this
I love security. Not just to learn from it myself, but because I notice that for a lot of people — colleagues included — the pace of the field outstrips the time to keep up with it. New vulnerabilities, new attack methods, new ways AI gets used, both to protect us and to attack us. I wanted a place where I could keep track of that myself, and share it too — with people around me who share the same interest but don’t always have the time to dig through everything themselves.
Beyond that, I just wanted a place for myself. Stories about my homelab, projects that do or don’t work out, things I learn along the way. Not everything has to be about security.
The process
Honesty matters here: this time it actually worked, and a large part of that is thanks to AI support. Where earlier attempts stalled on time, motivation, or simply not knowing where to start, this time I could brainstorm, adjust course, and build it up step by step with help that was always available. No magic bullet — there was still plenty of back and forth, course-correcting, and revisiting things, and small details that weren’t quite right only became obvious once I actually looked closely. But it made the difference between yet another unfinished idea, and something that’s actually standing.
It’s not finished — I don’t think it ever fully will be — but it’s here, and that feels good.
