Hi there,

My name is [Olivier Falcoz](https://olivier.falcoz.net). I am a random French-speaking bloke who goes by the online persona of 9x0rg. You may have met me under the nicknames elpanzer or panz' in the past.

I'm a Infosec & risk management professional at day, formerly based in the Asia-Pacific region and now impatriated in Provence.

During my years in Asia, I've been one of the maintainers of two MTB-related websites; [KLMBH](https://archive.klmbh.org/post/21014039650/klmbh-frequently-asked-questions)  an association that preserves the tradition of the running Hash[^1] *but* on a mountain bike and [TRAKS](https://www.traks.org.my/), a trail conservancy NGO of Malaysia. So you will probably find a lot of cross-posts here from these two groups of fine folks.

I ride mountain bikes. Specifically, a big, rugged enduro mountain bike. Don't expect to see me on a roadie thinguy but rather on a (too steep) a slope trying to follow my front wheel at (too high) speed[^2].

Incidentally, in 2013 I co-organized the first [Enduro Asia MTB](https://enduroasiamtb.tumblr.com/post/55587094114/enduro-mtb-in-asia-our-story) race in Malaysia, supported by [Red Bull](https://www.redbull.com/my-en/riders-unite-enduro-takes-on-malaysia), with the proud ambition of launching afterwards the Asian (Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia) chapter of the Enduro World Series, no less. It didn't happen. I guess we were a bit ahead of ourselves. Nice experience though.

## Purpose

This blog is a loose collection (*en vrac* in French) of posts, started sometime around 2008 that I am still in the process of migrating from another platform.

I use it myself to bookmark events of interest and sometimes to express my own opinions or ideas *and a few rants of course*, about [infosec & data privacy](/posts/infosec/), [tech](/posts/tech/), [mountain biking](/posts/mtb/), [All Things Asian](/posts/asia/) including politics and [#TGIF](/posts/tgif/) for anything else that doesn't fit anywhere else..

Most of the content is published in what can probably be described as *half-baked English* language or sometimes in French. Feel free to browse through the posts by [categories](/posts/) which I just try to organize in relevant topics or use the [archives](/archives/) or the [search](/search/) feature.

## Tech

My first PC as a kid was a Commodore I think, quickly followed by an Apple IIe. This, I believe makes me an honorary member of the #TeamOld.

Data Privacy advocate and strong supporter of free and open-source software[^3] I use Linux on all computers since 2006. All things Microsoft are forbidden in the house.

Arch Linux has been my daily driver since 2015 and the couple of servers I maintain with the help of [Yunohost](https://yunohost.org/) run Debian. Oh, my phone is obviously ungoogled.


This site has been hosted on various domain names over the years, first on WordPress, then on Tumblr when it was cool. I somehow abandoned it from 2018 onwards and only recently decided to revive it.

This  website is now static, contains no tracker, no cookies and runs on [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/). The [Wondermod](https://github.com/Wonderfall/hugo-WonderMod/) theme is provided by the fine folks at [WonderFall](https://wonderfall.dev/).
