Introducing myself to the community here
Hello folks I am new to this forum here but I can already sense that I will be here for a while!
I am Kelvin and I am a broke college kid from Singapore. I dabble in mathematics but I am not very good at it πππ. By dabbling I meant I study it but I do not think I am doing a good job at it hehe.
I enjoy messing around with servers and could spend hours meddling with one! An embarrassing fact that I seldom share is that I always have a dream of owning servers and being the next Google or Amazon hahaha. Well a dream is a dream ain't it!
Recently I took my first bold step to colocate a server (it is not even deployed yet) and I am thinking of giving it a go at hosting for people. I am new to all these but I am willing to learn (aka Google) so I am looking to see if anyone here is willing to be my guinea pig and try out my services! I have to figure out the customer dashboard, take care of security and deal with all the virtualization so that will probably take a while before this project is really live. I am not soliciting payments for now but I do hope that one day I am confident enough to actually sell it as a service to people!
I be documenting my journey at this as I think it will be a good way to reflect and capture the entire process! I am thinking of doing tiktok and blogging about it but I have literally 0 cinematic experience so all these will be very new to me!
Well with that said, i hope to engage with the community at LES and maybe know more about all of y'all! Catch y'all in one of the threads!
Kelvin
P.s. Please say hi I am afraid of social rejection ππ

Thank you for your kind words ππ I agree with you! Slow and steady wins the race. Looking forward to my stay here!
You know the funny thing is that I actually had dial up internet in my childhood days in 2004 (I was 4 then) and I remember playing with floppy disc and having no idea what they do hahahaha.
I got it in a data center in Charlotte! I will write more details in a blog/video and let you know!
@DediRock @i4P1 and everyone above
Thank you guys for the warm welcome! My heart is very full π₯Ήπ₯Ή. Hope all of y'all have a great week ahead!

Welcome to LES!
Sorry for going too personal but why did you went with math if you don't like it?

Probably parents
Or like me, I like some specific branches of Mathematics and not the others

Kinda same, but I didn't went with applied maths or something like that.

Hi and welcome to LES!
Hope you'll enjoy your stay here.
We'll be your guinea pig as long as the VPS has routed /64 and you accept squats as payment.
Accepting submissions for IPv6 less than /64 Hall of Incompetence.
Thanks @huntercop for the vps reccos. I have a few vps that I used for randoms projects but I will take a look at it! More is better ain't it!
I didn't say I don't like it hahaha I actually really like math but I am not the most mathematically incline. I am pretty decent at it but it is through really really hard work. I haven't really been putting in the time the last few semester due to personal issues so I have been suffering with subpar grades ππ
@Otus9051 yay new friend! Yea I mean my parents really never forced me to study anything. I pick math on my own will.
It is! My goal is to own a rack or servers in Singapore! I think it be very amazing to make weekly visits to the data center to check on them and do maintenance!
@AuroraZero @quaego Thank you! It is the best place to be aliveeeeee!!
What did you study then! It seems like you didn't particularly like urs too. I mean it is always the case right where your passion no longer becomes your passion
Will try to figure out how to get routed ipv6. How heavy do U squat first? I do not accept anything below 3 plates (in Singapore we count it by 20kg plates on each side)
I have a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity

Hi
i heard Singapore is a very clean city but top on the most expensive in the world
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Stick to the math, your age is the best time for that.
You will thank me years later.
Chances are you should probably have chosen physics

@Hyp0901 Hi Kevin, welcome to LES. I have also been thinking of documenting what I've learnt since joining LES.
Do share what you write.
