The Hermit Project: a journey of discovery

I’d love to dive into something unexpected with you regarding the Hermit project.

Hermit is my secure minimalistic approach to personal computing that helps me refocus on one thing at a time and helps me lower my anxiety levels.

During the last months, life events brought me to a place where I didn’t particularly appreciate how the Internet has become in the hands of an oligopoly of companies. I learned that other people feel the same. So, I created my small pond where I could feel less pressure and perhaps be happier.

Sure, this project sounds like it’s all about computers, but trust me, it’s so much more than that: it has been mostly a journey of self-discovery and acceptance.

I’d love to thank Nina and Akko: you were SO inspiring. I also want to thank my friend Kath, who has been with me during my bumpy journey. And a lost friend who introduced me to FreeBSD.

So, join me as I share my personal voyage of computing and self-discovery in the six episodes below. It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that no matter where life takes us, understanding ourselves is key.
