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 😭😭😭. 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 πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

    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 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 😭😭

    @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)

    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 :)
