       Wish you all a happy new year 2024! 🎉
       
       As you may have noticed, last year ended with fewer blog posts.
       Not only work kept me really busy, but I also used the time to work on a few
       personal projects intensively and learn a lot of new skillz.
       
       Including but not limited to:
       
       - a fully fledged homelab rack for compute, storage & network
       - a complete netflow/IDS "SIEM" solution for home network security
       - hypervisor setup for testing exploitation techniques and malware analysis
       - endless IoT & home automation tinkering in my new flat
         - all the sensors & dashboards you can imagine
         - reverse engineering, e.g. for controlling my window blinds
         - addressable (sound-reactive) LED installations
           (also in our local hackerspace)
       - hacking around in 9front
       
 (HTM) And finally, I also visited the »37c3«
       "chaos communication congress" at the end of the year, followed by a nice new
       year's party in Hamburg.
       
       Expect writeups on many of the topics above soon-ish.
