+	<h1>Servers & Networking</h1>
+	<p>
+		Open source and networking hobbies led me to depoly a set of
+		interconnected Linux servers:
+	</p>
+	<ul>
+		<li>
+			<h3>NGINX Reverse Proxy and VPN Server</h3>
+			<p>
+				This server is the internets access to all of my other servers,
+				and the glue holding them together. I was using IPTables briefly
+				but have moved to NGINX to forward traffic from specified ports
+				onto private servers connected to it. This device doubles as a <a
+					href="https://www.wireguard.com/">Wireguard VPN</a
+				> server which in the past connected servers on the same virtual
+				network, however I have switched to reverse ssh tunnels to connect
+				other servers to this one. The VPN is still useful for odd networking
+				tasks and troubleshooting.
+			</p>
+		</li>
+		<li>
+			<h3>Lightweight Server</h3>
+			<p>
+				Running on Raspberry Pi, this servers main job is to run
+				Subterstrike servers, Minecraft servers, other game servers, and
+				this website you're looking at.
+			</p>
+		</li>
+		<li>
+			<h3>AI & FTP Server</h3>
+			<p>
+				A powerful computer with an RX 6950 XT GPU runs my local
+				generative AI servers including <a
+					href="https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/">Invoke AI</a
+				>
+				for Image Generation,
+				<a href="https://ollama.com/?ref=useaiforit">Ollama</a>
+				and <a href="https://docs.openwebui.com/">Open-WebUI</a> for LLM
+				services. As this is also my primary device with a few spare
+				terabytes of NVMe storage it contains a
+				<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vsftpd"
+					>VSFTPD file server</a
+				>. By the way, this server runs on
+				<a href="https://archlinux.org/"><i>Arch Linux</i></a> :)
+			</p>
+		</li>
+		<li>
+			<h3>Derelict Laptop Promoted to Server</h3>
+			<p>
+				An ancient gaming laptop with significantly more computational
+				performance than physical durability was promoted to server,
+				where it runs my <a href="https://nextcloud.com/about/"
+					>Nextcloud</a
+				>
+				self hosted office suite. While originally this was a 'because I
+				can' project, I felt justified when I later saw
+				<a
+					href="https://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science/microsoft-says-u-s-law-takes-precedence-over-canadian-data-sovereignty/article"
+					>Microsoft announcing USA demands come before Canadian
+					privacy</a
+				>.
