-I'm intending this site to be a mix of personal tech projects & writing about stuff in my life.
+I'm intending to write more online about the stuff I tinker with.
-This site is currently built with [Jekyll][jekyll], and served using [nginx][nginx] from my [Raspberry Pi Model 2B][rpi-2b]. I'm currently editing it with [VS Code][vscode].
+You can expect posts about
+* what I do with my [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org),
+* websites and servers that I run including [my wife's blog](https://heyworlditshenry.com) and my [email server](https://mail.mfashby.net)
+* more physical projects like getting a [RepRap](https://reprap.org/) up and running
-The same Raspberry also hosts [my wife's blog][heyworlditshenry], where she writes about our son Henry, who sadly passed away shortly after he was born.

-I've got a few personal projects active at the moment, and I hope to write about all of them!

A big theme in the news recently is data protection, how your personal data is being used (and abused), and taking back control of your data. Part of the problem is that people's personal data is kept in huge private corporate networks, and historically companies have been able to do (essentially) whatever they like with it. I started investigating how difficult it would be to really re-take control of my personal data - beginning with my email.
Email is complicated: this is because it is old, and it has changed over time. [One of the first articles I found](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/why-you-may-not-want-to-run-your-own-mail-serve) is a quick rundown of how complex the email system is. [Ars technica][ars-technica-guide] ran a guide for setting up your own email server:
