Photography
Mountains, landscapes and street. I shoot with a Sony a6100 and an A7 III, plus a few old adapted A-mount lenses that perform better than they cost. I sell prints in my Etsy shop, SidewalkAndSummit.
Passions
Curiosity carries on here.
Hardware to take apart, trails to walk and a language to learn. Different ways of looking a little closer.
Mountains
I live in South Tyrol, so the excuse is always ready. Lake Carezza, or a hike with a camera in the backpack, is my version of switching off.
Cybersecurity
Penetration testing, CTFs on HackTheBox and a YouTube channel where I explain how things actually get broken: AiTM attacks, Evilginx, MFA bypass. I hold the eCPPT and I'm choosing the next certification.
Homelab and self-hosting
Proxmox, TrueNAS, UniFi, NixOS on the laptop and Coolify on the Hetzner servers. I like knowing where everything runs, and switching off what isn't needed.
Hardware hacking
A ClockworkPi uConsole turned cyberdeck (zsh, tmux, nmap, WireGuard) and an expansion board I'm designing, with an ATECC608B, an NFC PN532 and WS2812B LEDs. I've spent enough hours with RFID readers to know the byte order of a UID by heart.
Japan
I study Japanese every day: hiragana sorted, katakana almost, kanji I recognise four. The goal is JLPT N3, then we'll see. Meanwhile I'm planning a long trip.
Cooking
My least technical hobby. There's no stack to list here.
