Thank you yunohost
Ever since I started looking into the Fediverse, FOSS/FLOSS, privacy and self-hosting I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging and helpful the community can be. As an example: in Fosstodon all my interactions have been very nice, from sharing random unrelated stuff to asking for advice on more technical matters everyone has always been helpful […]

Some thoughts on consumerism
I like to keep up to date with the latest news on the consumer electronics market (newest phones, laptops and processors) and lately I’ve found myself thinking: “That looks like a great phone/laptop, I should get it”. Then the thought that usually follows is “Maybe I don’t really need it” That’s the thing, media constantly […]

Mexico – Quality of life and different perspectives
OK, I am guilty of scrolling through Facebook even though I am on the Fediverse… I simply keep it because everyone else I care about does, anyway, on to the important stuff: Every once in a while I see something worthwhile there, this time I saw two very interesting posts close to each other (in […]

Nice gestures
Having being abroad and back home 2 times in the last 3 years have taught me that living in Mexico makes you take some things for granted: Family Excellent food Friends Let’s just say that personal interactions have been… different, but not in a bad way. I was always a bit of an oddball, antisocial […]

Linux and Art mix
I just felt the need to document my latest Linux issues: First, some context, I like painting with watercolor and have been doing it for quite a while now but in the last couple of years material such as paper (I used Arches 300g) has become quite expensive, which made me think that perhaps it […]

Some thoughts about convenience and COVID-19
I was just recently thinking given the recent COVID-19 situation, the world is not ready to prioritize what is really important. It feels like no one really notices importance of services like running water, electricity and above all medical care. What I see on the news nowadays leads me to believe that no one really […]

Skiing and COVID-19
Some random thoughts on a recent failed ski trip and the global pandemic Skiing First things first, I have absolutely no clue on how to ski, zero experience whatsoever, so naturally I had to sign up for my company’s Ski trip. In total there were 37 people in the group. We got to a cabin […]
