## Who I Am I’m Dimitri Nesterenko, a computer science student originally from Ukraine, now living in Rennes, France. I see my craft as a form of creative problem-solving, something I want to master – building meaningful solutions that help others. I don’t believe in limiting myself to a single label. Software engineering is a passion and a craft I’m constantly learning, but it’s one facet of who I am, not the whole picture.

Summer’s ending, and I don’t think it needs a post for every single thing that happened in it. What it needs, I think, is one short, honest statement, and then I move on to the next chapter. So, briefly: I tried a Japanese flip phone, a keitai, as an experiment in getting rid of my smartphone, and wrote about why that didn’t stick. I spent a good chunk of the summer restructuring my NixOS config and finally self-hosting Vaultwarden and Immich without the usual dread.

This is Part 3 of my Linux Odyssey series. Part 1 covers how I ended up on NixOS in the first place, and Part 2 covers my first month actually living on it, flash drive and all. If you haven’t read them, start there. Here I’ll be talking about modularizing my NixOS config, merging two repos into one, and finally self-hosting again without the dread. > The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
