## extra

When I am not playing *factorio* or *squashing my commits*, I enjoy *riding my
bicycle*, *going for a run* or *even hiking*!

I have had a lot of fun being a *dungeon master* when playing
*Dungeons and Dragons* with my friends!

I love using my *Thinkpad X220s and X230s* with *OpenBSD* for daily life =)

And yes, I do have two entreprise servers running next to me 24/7! I am always
open to talk about them!
