About Me and Cycasc

I support free (as in freedom) and open source software, value privacy, free speech and a decentralized internet.

Cycasc is a platform I run that helps me and my friends support, organize, and secure our online lives. Cycasc stands for "Can You Cause a Server Crash?". Admittedly, the name might not be the most creative, but the abbreviation looks sharp and the domain is short - that's what counts, right?

I've been self-hosting my web services for over ten years, entirely voluntarily, because I enjoy it and it ensures the best possible security for my data. Although some of my acquaintances use my services, I don't charge anything in return.

The technical infrastructure behind my services is built with great care and structure. I intensively deal with various IT fields: from network technology and infrastructure to software development, as well as virtualization, operating systems, data backup, data recovery, databases, encryption, and information security.

Over time, I have acquired a very broad but in-depth IT knowledge that helps me not only in my daily life but also in my professional work, as well as when supporting friends and acquaintances.

Here is a list of more services I host. All of which are for my own use. However, it should reflect my dedication and love for IT. ☕

IT-Tools

A static site with many handy tools for developers (not mine - credit goes to the developers of this project).

Also a static site with many PDF conversion and editing tools.

Mirrors

A mirror server - currently only serving Arch Linux packages and ISOs. The main goal of this mirror is to provide a local, fast, and centralized package source for my Arch Linux hosts. Yes, I have many of them. 😅 One of which is serving you this website.

Satisfactory Dedicated Server

Satisfactory is a factory simulation game by Coffee Stain Studios which also features cooperative multiplayer. Since the dedicated server is quite resource-intensive, it is only online when my friends and I need it.

Server address: satisfactory.cycasc.net
