Curious to get a sense of what everyone here does for a living. Are you in IT, engineering, or another technical field—or does your day job have nothing to do with tech at all?

I’m wondering how much overlap there is between people’s careers and their interest in self-hosting. Did your work lead you to this hobby, or is it a total escape from your 9-to-5?

Would love to hear your background, and how (if at all) it influences what you choose to self-host.
