I’m Firas Abu-Hmeidan.
Linux nerd by choice, retro gaming addict, part-time car mechanic (by necessity, not choice),
full-time IT guy who somehow also does graphic design, video editing, web dev — all before lunch.
This blog is my outlet. I write about the things I actually care about: Linux setups, old games that still slap, tech that improves life, and the chaos of working IT in a small business where I’m the guy people call for literally everything — from resetting passwords to unclogging printers with a screwdriver.
I also talk about the stuff I tinker with — DIY projects, modding my car, diving trips, off-roading adventures, and occasionally ranting about countries I’ve traveled to (the good, the bad, and the weird).
If you’re into real talk, no fluff, and side quests that sometimes turn into main quests… you’re in the right place. Enjoy!
Fallout 4 is a gem. Not flawless, not shiny, but a gem that glows with grime and ambition. And buried inside it, deeper than most players ever dare to go, is a smaller, meaner gem: Survival mode. You think you’ve played Fallout 4? You haven’t.
Wealth before 40 isn’t luck — it’s discipline. Spend less, invest early, avoid debt, and stay patient while everyone else wastes money trying to look rich.
Humans ditched real money for paper, plastic, and promises – and then act shocked when everything collapses. Silver never lied. It built empires, powered technology, and still shines when markets burn.
Being poor doesn’t mean being powerless. It means your investments start where theirs don’t — with your time, your body, your sanity, and your skills.
Camping isn’t a luxury hobby or an RV vacation. It’s dirt, fire, bugs, and brutal honesty — the cure for city noise and fake peace.
