Welcome to Offgrid Holdout, my small outpost beyond the algorithmic frontier.
This is where I write about my life in tech: Linux and self-hosting, the small web and the fediverse, retro computing and bulletin boards, and an honest look at AI tools (using them versus relying on them). I work in IT as a business systems analyst, and I have been into this stuff since the early 1980s.
No tracking, no comments box, no algorithmic feed. Just pages, posts, and an RSS feed. Want to know more? Read about me and this site.
