Selfhosting got me a job offer (alien.top)

I still barely believe it honestly. I'm a student "freshly" outta school with no experience, and I've been struggling finding a job for a while.

I had an (first) job interview recently and while I didn't have much to offer, I seemed to somewhat impress them with my home labbing. I run Proxmox at home for my self-hosted things and got a decent amount of experience with it, and it's what they use a lot as well. It's not that common in my age group to be interested in stuff like this, apparently.

Anyway, this is barely worthy of a post, but I'm really excited. I don't really know how it'll work out as I still got plenty to learn, but it's a big step forwards for me.
