the person behind the server
About Bugz
I’m Bugz — a self-taught tech guy based in Melbourne, Florida. I run this site on a server in my living room and write about the stuff I’m actually building and learning.
// The Short Version
I’ve been building PCs and messing with home servers for years. I got into self-hosting because I got annoyed paying for cloud services and wanted to actually understand how things work — not just click through wizards.
This site started as a way to document what I was building. It’s stayed that way. No brand deals, no SEO content farms, no expert posturing. Just real stuff I’ve actually done, with the actual results.
I live in Florida, which creates its own set of problems when you’re running hardware 24/7. Heat, humidity, dust — it’s all in the mix. A lot of what I write comes from figuring that out.

// What I Write About
I write when I have something real to say — not on a schedule. Topics tend to land in:
No filler. No quota to hit. If it’s on the site it’s because I had something worth saying about it.

I read everything. Response time varies depending on what’s on fire in the server room.
