About the event

Hey there! I’m Cootason—tech tinkerer, open-source enthusiast, Linux advocate, and self-hosting aficionado.

Cootason.org is my digital playground, a place where I document my journey through the wild world of Linux desktops, self-hosted services, and all things open source. Whether I’m configuring a server from scratch, tweaking a window manager, or replacing bloated SaaS tools with clean, self-hosted alternatives—I like to do things my way, and share what I learn along the way.

I believe in owning your data, understanding your tools, and building systems that respect your freedom and privacy. From rolling my own media server setups to exploring emerging distros, you’ll find guides, thoughts, rants, and recommendations—all rooted in a hands-on, do-it-yourself mindset.

If you’re into Linux, fed up with big tech, or just want to get more out of your tech stack, you’re in the right place.
