Hello there! It has been a while… My last status update was in 2021, and a lot has happened. In these three years, I had a lot of things going. The main thing is that I moved in with my partner, which has been a fantastic experience so far. I expected it to challenging at first, getting to live with someone different than yourself, but the more time we spend together, the more I love it! It…
Disclaimer: This is not a April Fools post I currently have three devices which I use for work and personal matters. Having documents and other files synced between them is a really big quality of life improvement. Being able to edit a TODO checklist on my home desktop and edit later on my work later is fantastic. While using cloud utilities like Google Drive I ran into major issues, having the…
We tend to hoard passwords and secrets over time. Every day there’s a new cool service for us to register, and if you are a sane person, you are likely using a different password for each one (you are, right?). You also have your citizen related numbers and secrets, which must be stored somewhere. There’s also two factor authentication codes, which usually stay in your phone and you…
There’s a saying here in Brazil which says that the year only starts after Carnival (a event that usually happens in February), and despite not caring about it, I haven’t worked very much on any side-project ever since last year. So it must be true. :p During this downtime, I took the time to rest a lot, play cyberpunk 2077, go back to the gym after a half a year trying to workout at…
In my last post I’ve written about me jumping in the Gemini bandwagon and how I was really excited about it. In the past few weeks I wrote a Gemini server and a Gemini static site generator, both of them being currently in use for my gemlog . This post is a bit of a status update and some cool stuff I’ve learned while coding my Gemini server and SSG. Satellite Satellite is my gemini…
I jumped in the Gemini bandwagon, if you don’t know about it yet, Gemini is a new protocol which fills the space between gopher and the web, it can distribute arbitrary files, and it’s a awesome to serve text files in the form of blogs (or gemlogs in the gemini jargon). There’s been a lot of adoption lately and I figured I would jump in too! The protocol is simple enough that any…
Dotfiles are a very personal thing, some people stick with the defaults of every program, others have a config file for every single program they use. 1 Whether or not you configure all your tools or not, losing your environment is always a pain, many hours lost invested configuring your editor to do that little stupid thing you wanted it to do gone to waste, and now, another many hours figuring…
As a fan of cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic literature, I’m always thinking about how society will cope with a major break in the supply chain, or a major economic crisis. The current global pandemic is also making me wonder of such a world. I’ve recently discovered the Collapse OS project, which tackles the problem of a possible supply chain collapse by creating a Z80 operating system…
Hi there! It’s been a few days since I last posted here, I’m working in a few posts but I haven’t got the time to finish them.
Read-only filesystems can be really useful for the deployment of devices that are prone to sudden shutdowns or other failure scenarios. It also makes it really easy to upgrade dependending on the method used.
I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a long time now, I find writing to be a very good mental exercise. I’ve just never found a proper subject or idea to blog on. I think that I see so much interesting stuff online that when I have a blog idea, my mind just go “eh, that’s not that big of a deal” and I end up not writing anything at the end of the day.
