I'm a self-hosting, privacy and data sovereignty advocate.
For 12 years now, I have been self hosting everything I can because I firmly believe it's the only way to keep my data under control. I went through the full spectrum of imperative scripts to fully declarative configuration with NixOS. My mission now is to lower the bar of entry for self-hosting and allow less technical users to get the same benefits I enjoy.
I'm a father of 6 kids and married to a wonderful wife. <3

I personally believe NixOS to be the ultimate server management tool. But how to convince others? We must let them try NixOS!
Currently, the only way to try out NixOS is to go all-in. There's no way to get a feel for it by just replacing one small piece of an existing infrastructure. To ease and accelerate adoption of NixOS, this must change.
This talk goes over why module contracts is the essential and (yet!) missing piece that will help us spread adoption of NixOS.
