We are the samurai, the keyboard cowboys.

In my free time I educate myself on new technologies, hang out with my three wonderful German Shepherds and go horseback riding. I also attempt to regularly write blog posts on my site - jimmyb.ninja, participate in various Discord servers, and work on new websites and ideas! I'm very passionate about the self-hosting community and enjoy self-hosting all sorts of software for friends, family and myself.
