# Happy new year!

Last modification on 2024-01-03

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

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.
