I'm some kind of a self-educated computer/electronic nerd who was born around 100 years to early.
As a factory teacher child I was early into tinkering and stuff but also I'm a teacher child which leaved traces xD
My uncle's car service station also improved my interests in that area but it early becomes clear for me that I don't only want to become a mechanic.
Some day my mom came back from work and presented to me a Commodore 128D which they wanted to throw away at her office. After days spending time in front of Oil-Imperium and games that wouldn't be recommend for kids in my age and also for the belonging joysticks the interest to take apart the computer came up in me.
A short thought and some fast acting later I not only took my first computer apart, also I received my first electric shock :D
Unfortunately I wasn't able to learn really much about computers at this time. There was a course my mom signed me and her but when we participated the teacher told us he couldn't teach me something that I already know. In the end the course was about how somebody uses DOS.... in a time where window based systems where already some kind of standard.
In my school we already had a windows based system - YEY - exactly Win 3.1. So long so good if there weren't our teachers. Their knowledge was limited to know exactly where to power on and of the systems and how to use paint and the text editor.
After some class mate showed me the magic of batch files it happened from time to time that the principal entered the schoolyard some kind of furios just because we deployed a 'win.bat' file with following similar one liner on C:\ of one of the school computers:
This overwhelmed them so often and every time we used the same trick and they never found the problem.
Then there was a new thing which was now affordable for normal citizens called Internet. The only problem was that I was broke as always and also far away of being of the age to close a deal with a provider.
Somehow I managed it to use the bank data from my brother and the personal data from my mum. Some clicks later I was a happy customer of AOL, especially I was really happy about their lax verification process. After some months my mom accidentally stumbled over the phone line I've relocated ninja style like into my room. There it was the time I enlightened her about internet and stuff. She decided to order it so I can use it officially :D
From there till now I really spent to much time here(in the Internet) but I was able to learn so much stuff like building a laser engraver with a 60x60cm 'build' area which originally should became a 3D printer. Also I've made some projects with arduino, raspberrys and orange pi's and my all time favorite routers where I installed OpenWRT/LEDE.
I'm absolutely interested in DIY home-automation, crypto-currencies, IT security in general, hardware tinkering/reengineering, embedded systems, bioengineering, astronomy, physic, electronic, aquaponics and many more.
So feel free to follow, ask questions or up-vote :D
