About me
I am a Free Software enthusiast, GNU+Linux enthusiast, and GNU+Linux systems administrator from the Czech Republic. I am an administrator of drgnz.club and other servers as well. In free time I also enjoy going to woods and geocaching. I am usually very busy with work, messing with computers or other things - I rarely ever consoom any kind of media, I sometimes watch YouTube through Invidious. With Waffelo we are building our own internet world which we have control over, and not some corporation, and we try to make this easy to do for other people as well. That's why drgnz.club exists.

This is a list of all services I use. Most are self-hosted and run on my server (though some on my friend waffelo's domain). All of them are also 100% Free Software.

Computers I use
Clevo N350DW This is a laptop that i managed to get for a fairly good price while it being in an okay state. It is a replacement for my ThinkPad X200 which was truly the best computer I ever used, but it lacked in performance for the things i wanted to do with it. This laptop supports a dock, has removable battery, relatively cheap replacement parts (excluding the screen), backlit keyboard and so on. It would almost be more thinkpad than a thinkpad itself, but it has a pretty "not great, not terrible" keyboard. Also no trackpoint which bugs the crap out of me, but what can you do. What this laptop is also unique in is that it has a desktop socketed processor. That is extremely rare in laptops so it immediately caught my attention. I am planning to put a lower-power-consumption intel xeon in it in the future, if possible.

ThinkPad X200 This ThinkPad used to be my daily driver and my #1 favorite computer. It runs 100% Free Software including the BIOS, it has phenomenal keyboard, has only trackpoint which I prefer, has tons of expansion and tons of ports. I replaced it with a more powerful clevo laptop nowdays. I still use it though.
