MemphiZ

Hi!
I'm MemphiZ, a 30 year old father, hacker and privacy enthusiast. Just like Jimmy I had a post from dev.to in my google news feed, checked it out, liked what i saw and here I am :)

At work I primarly use C# to develop desktop applications for windows, mostly in combination with LINQ as almost all apps I develop here have to use MSSQL as their backend database.
In my spare time I usually automate things or try to close gaps between systems I'm working with. As I just switched my whole setup from cywgin to WSL for example, I'm in the process of developing a "wsudo" command to be able to manipulate windows's files/folders from within WSL. A part of the solution uses some C++ code which I'm not very fond of, so if anyone wants to help, please let me know!

I run a few VMs (mostly linux servers) on my own hardware in a datacenter providing services like: Hosting (Ghost/WordPress Blogs), Teamspeak, Nextcloud (Calendar/Contacts/Dropbox) and GitLab for friends and family.
Experimenting with toys like Raspberry Pi's and Arduino's, writing Bash/Fish/AutoIt/Python scripts or improving one of my existing tools, are just some more ways to keep me up at night. I can't remember the last time I went to bed before 2 AM.

I actually created a post before discovering this welcome thread, so please feel free to dicuss this topic if you're into C#/WinForms/WPF here: The Future of WPF?

I hope to learn a lot from the articles here on dev.to, have fun with the community and of course support others however I can.
I very much like the idea of mentorship and may even become a mentor in C# or a mentee when it comes to python and C++.

Have a nice day!
