Welcome to my newest personal website upgrade, this time I went with a technology that has had huge improvements over the past few years. It has the usual pro and cons, in this article I will try to explain the why and how I did it.

I have been doing IT “things” for roughly the past 27 years. Within that timeframe, I came across the Open Source “Movement” around 1998. What caught my attention with opensource immediately, was the fact, that I could interact with those projects. I made not needed money (which I did not have as a schoolkid and a student) and I did not need much education in the field.

About two years ago I was putting together my bags and my laptop, leaving for another place for a few months, I did not knew much about that place, only that it had cable tv. Of course I wanted to be able to watch some tv, with as little of hurdle as possible, so I grabbed myself a dvb-c tv usb stick for my laptop.

I have been running my projects on openvz for about the past 10 years, I like it because it is stable and simple to handle. Meanwhile on my workstation I have been using libvirt in combination with kvm and qemu for about the same time to test operating systems and network setups as well as coding for certain environments.
