I keep a few worlds close: Middle-earth, Sanctuary, a galaxy far away, a shelf full of bricks and Formula 1 on race Sundays. Between campaigns I tinker with smart homes and ride e-MTB trails above Brașov.

Smart home automations

A home that handles the boring parts on its own, built on Home Assistant and kept running on my own hardware.

  • Self-hosted stackDocker containers on a Synology NAS, backed up and reachable from anywhere.
  • NetworkAdGuard Home for DNS filtering across every device.

e-MTB trails

Mountain tours around Brașov, with a motor to make the climbs fun and the descents longer.

  • ToursForest trails, ridgelines and long loops through the Carpathians.
  • Climbs and rangePlanning battery and assist modes so the way back is never a surprise.
  • The bikeSetup, suspension tuning and regular maintenance.

Middle-earth

Maps, languages and a very long walk.

Tolkien's world is the one I return to most: deep history behind every hill, songs, genealogies and an ending worth the journey. Books, films and the appendices all count.

  • The Lord of the RingsThe trilogy, on the page and on screen.
  • The HobbitWhere the road begins, from Bag End to Erebor.
  • Lore and mapsAppendices, tongues and the Silmarillion rabbit hole.
  • On the shelfSets and collectibles inspired by the Fellowship.
