Page: Feed: --- ## [I Feel Alone](https://lofgren.xyz/i-feel-alone/) _2025-11-10 · lofgren · Lofgren_ I feel like I exist in my own little camp when it comes to this planet. I'm sure there are people that agree with my worldview besides the couple of people I know that do. However, it seems like it's a fairly rare view. I am a Christian. I am also someone who greatly values security and privacy. These views don't seem to intersect with many people. The majority of Christians I know completely… ## [Can't decide on a hobby](https://lofgren.xyz/cant-decide-on-a-hobby/) _2025-08-10 · lofgren · Lofgren_ I've recently been feeling that a big hole in my life is a way to express myself, and I can't seem to choose how I want to do it. Over the course of my life in different seasons, I've been a writer, a digital painter, a musician, and a photographer. I have the most experience as a musician, having played in worship bands in addition to on my own. However, it shifted from me playing my main… ## [Get a digital space](https://lofgren.xyz/digital-space/) _2025-07-26 · lofgren · Lofgren_ We should all have a digital space of our own. It should be a place where we own our data, cannot be easily de-platformed, and where we can be ourselves. When you routinely only post on X/Twitter, Instagram, Mastodon, what-have-you, you are at the mercy of that platform. The platform might allow you to export your data, but you need to remember to do so regularly, and if you're caught with your… ## [Software and Hardware I use](https://lofgren.xyz/what-i-use/) _2025-07-25 · lofgren · Lofgren_ Updated July, 2025 I'm currently stuck in decision paralysis because I care greatly about free open source software and privacy. However, some proprietary software just works better without as much setup. I want to focus more on creating than just configuring my systems. I'm also starting to care more about data portability and using the best tool for the job than strictly having access to source… ## [You Can't Experience Everything and That's Great!](https://lofgren.xyz/you-cant-experience-everything-and-thats-great/) _2025-07-09 · lofgren · Lofgren_ Photo: Colorado, 2025. We live in an unprecedented time in history. There has never been a time with more access to books, movies, tv, video games, places to visit, etc. With the internet, we can download every hit movie, tv show, video game, or album. With modern vehicles, we can fly, drive, or boat nearly anywhere if we have the funds for it. When someone suggests a new movie that we "have to… ## [KitKat on the Moto X was peak Android](https://lofgren.xyz/kitkat-on-moto-x/) _2025-07-04 · lofgren · Lofgren_ Credit: The Verge. I've changed a lot over the years. As a teenager and into my early adulthood, I was the stereotypical techie with a bent towards free software. I went to school for Computer Science, and my dream was to work for Google. I wanted the latest smartphone and features. I followed advancements almost religiously. A lot of that has changed. I now distrust Google completely for a myriad… ## [Switch 2 is the Most Smartphone-esque Console Launch](https://lofgren.xyz/switch-2-impressions/) _2025-06-06 · lofgren · Lofgren_ The Nintendo Switch 2 launched yesterday, and I was lucky enough to be blessed with one. It was totally unexpected, and this is the first device I've ever gotten right at launch. It's such a fun experience. In the couple hours I've used it so far, I've had a constant thought that I wanted to share, so here are my first impressions. It is so evident that we live in the super refined computing space… ## [You Take Yourself Too Seriously](https://lofgren.xyz/you-take-yourself-too-seriously/) _2025-04-09 · lofgren · Lofgren_ Photo: Colorado, 2023. That's what the Lord told me this week. And I bet you do too. You probably find your validation and worth solely in your performance at work or school, maybe at home with your family or spouse. Your image is important to you. You want to be liked, maybe even loved. You want to succeed. You're trying to create your identity. The world says you're worthless if you don't… ## [My Forgejo instance was attacked by LLM crawlers](https://camelia.dev/posts/2025/04/my-forgejo-instance-was-attacked-by-llm-crawlers/) _2025-04-03 · ~camelia's digital space_ Background This post is a reaction to the attack that my server suffered from, that took place on the weekend of the 29th-30th of March. This happened even though my robots.txt file has the following value on all my subdomains: User-agent : \* Disallow : / If you’re not familiar with the robots.txt file, the general idea behind it is to tell bots which resources they… ## [Setting up Forgejo on Alpine with Nginx and Fail2ban](https://camelia.dev/posts/2025/03/setting-up-forgejo-on-alpine-with-nginx-and-fail2ban/) _2025-03-30 · ~camelia's digital space_ Introduction Forgejo is an awesome code hosting platform. It is a community-driven hard fork of Gitea, that is being developed over at Codeberg . Self-hosting Forgejo is not that difficult, and the documentation explains everything we need to know in order to do so. However, as some of you may know, I am not really a fan of systemd. In fact, I tend to avoid it as much as possible: I… ## [Pirate.io on Google Play (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/ex8MfA38zBal) _2025-03-29 · **Sponsored**_ Open the Pirate.io listing on Google Play to view the app’s details. ## [How I Came to Follow Jesus](https://lofgren.xyz/my-testimony/) _2025-03-29 · lofgren · Lofgren_ Photo: Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, 2018. I'm a follower of Jesus, and this is my story. I grew up in a fairly Christian household. It wasn't something that was super pushed. We stopped going to church when I was 9, and I don't really remember going to church as a family. Occasionally in middle school, I would sleep over at a friend's house Saturday night and go to church with him… ## [A new identity!](https://camelia.dev/posts/2025/03/a-new-identity/) _2025-03-25 · ~camelia's digital space_ A “new” name online? I recently decided to get rid of the online pseudonym I’ve been using for several years now. Here’s why, and how to call me now. But why? If you know me a bit, you probably know that until now, my name in online spaces has been Twann . When choosing this pseudonym for the first time, I didn’t really think about it. When I created… ## [Hello World](https://lofgren.xyz/hello-world/) _2025-01-22 · lofgren · Lofgren_ I want a space on the internet where I can share my thoughts. Obviously, this site is one such space. This is yet another attempt at blogging. I've tried numerous times over the 00s and 10s. This last time I fell into the wonder that is digital gardening in public instead of blogging. I published my notes via Obsidian Publish. It was pretty great because I felt like I was actually able to get my…
