For a few years, but more seriously starting around 2023, I have been interested in internet privacy, free and open source software (FOSS), and self hosting. I started exploring this interest by starting to build a home server and diving down that rabbit hole. This interest led me to stumble upon some videos about the IndieWeb and motivated me to start this website. My goal is to generally carve my own space out here on the internet.

This week I've finally started up a new homelab server at my new place! Used my old, more proper computer, and tried a different OS! A few of the links in this post will be for the homelabbers out there, because I truly think well-written guides are rarer than people are willing to admit! Guides TrueNAS Scale...
I was visiting my grandmother and her caretaker around the holidays in 2024, back in my birth country. There, we eat a popular pepper called 'Locoto' which is a small pepper that can range in color from green to red and ranges in spiciness as well. You can google it but basically it's like a very small habanero with...
So in the spirit of my blog on Consistency I spoke about how I wanted to be more consistent with posting and updating the blog. In the end, I want to just write and not deal with the as-it-was manual updating of this site. That's why I started looking into using an SSG instead, as I hoped it would mean I could write...
I love Minecraft. I think Minecraft may be the best game ever made. It's not my favorite game ever made, that's reserved for the Witcher 3, but I cannot deny that Minecraft has had the impact, longevity, and community to truly put it at the top. Minecraft with mods is even better. System altering mods like Create,...
Short list so far but hopefully as I get more and more into browsing the web, I will find more links I think others should take a look at. Blogs Interregnum A generally leftist publication which hosts articles by a variety of authors. Recently discovered them through the article on Passivity Propaganda. Thoughts on...
First post in over 4 months. Honestly haven't even opened my note editor in that long as well. A lot happened in my life over the last 4 months, and while I've on and off wanted to write I simply haven't made myself do it. As usual, I've distracted myself with other things, new toys, new hobbies. It's truly a...
With promised tariffs incoming next year a lot of tech enthusiasts in the US have been wondering if we should just be buying new hardware now while we they're not flatly more expensive than they would be after tariffs. This has me considering some things about my current computer. To start, the specs after a few...
As probably everyone by now knows: Donald Trump has now been elected to his second term as president of the United States, with likely disastrous consequences for minorities, immigrants, and working class people as a whole to come. Plenty of scholars, journalists, pundits, and online personas have spilled ink on the...
I've been fortunate enough to not have experienced too much loss at this stage in my life. But watching someone I love experience possibly one of the biggest losses of life, and way too early at that, has been difficult to say the least. I know there's nothing I can to to 'fix' the situation. I know all they want of...
So last time I wrote about my new proxmox server that I started running and how I installed a Minecraft server on it that my girlfriend and I were enjoying playing. The other side of the server, after buying a bunch of storage for it, is meant to be as a media storage folder. My primary goals for it are: Enable me...
A blogger I follow through their RSS feed at 82Mhz posited a recent question to their readers and fellow bloggers. I found the question interesting and recently had a conversation with my mom about our different organizational styles and how we get through necessary but possibly unfun tasks. Andreas' prompt: Write...
This past weekend I was finally able to (re)build my homelab server. I said I'd write about it so here it is: Fig. 1 The Z230 Workstation in the closet after I got it running. I had one of my best friends, who is a programmer, and my brother, who works in tech repair, over since we all generally enjoy building...
