# 👋 About Me

Hello and welcome to my profile!

I'm a technology enthusiast with a particular passion for **computer networking, Linux, servers, homelabbing, open-source software, and IT infrastructure**.

Beyond technology, my interests include gaming, music, 3D printing, cryptocurrencies, and various fandom communities.

Below, you'll find some interesting facts about me, my hobbies, future plans, and a collection of games, movies, and TV shows I've experienced over the years.

## 🧑‍💻 A Few Things About Me

### 💻 Technology, Education & Homelabbing

- **IT is one of my biggest passions.** I'm particularly interested in computers, computer networking, server administration, and IT infrastructure in general.

- During my studies at [secondary school](https://odbornaskola.cz/), I successfully obtained the **Cisco CCNA 1 and CCNA 2 certifications**.

- I've been running and maintaining my own [homelab](https://gitea.kozelgaming.cz/kozel/kozel-setup/#my-homelab-rack-2026-edition) since **08.11.2021**. Over the years, it has become one of my main personal projects and a place where I can experiment with networking, servers, virtualization, and various technologies.

- I used to be a long-time **Microsoft Windows** user, having worked with Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10, and 11. However, since 2021, I've been actively exploring and using **Linux**. Today, both my household and I use [CachyOS](https://cachyos.org/) as our daily operating system. In 2026, I also started using **macOS**. Since 2024, I've attended [LinuxDays](https://www.linuxdays.cz/) every year.

- Since autumn 2026, I've been actively integrating **artificial intelligence and automation** into the management of my [homelab](https://gitea.kozelgaming.cz/kozel/kozel-setup/#my-homelab-rack-2026-edition), primarily using **Ansible** to simplify configuration, deployment, and infrastructure maintenance.

### 🛠️ Hobbies & Other Interests

- I'm also interested in **3D printing** and currently own a **Creality Ender-3 V3 SE**.

- I'm a [Brony](https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+brony) and a [Furry](https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+the+furry+fandom). I also enjoy [anime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note) and [dragons](https://www.google.com/search?q=Draco+Dragonheart+1996+dragon+character).

- I regularly watch technology-related YouTube channels, including:
