It’s been two weeks since I started playing Dungeons and Dragons with some colleagues from work (Wednesdays 5 PM), I thought it would be fun to share some of our weird experiences so far: We started on a carriage on our way to the noble kingdom of Asuria (which our DM decided to make very… Continue reading Dungeons and Dragons: Asuria (Part 1)

Day of the dead away from Mexico
I usually like to hate on Facebook but I’ve got to admit it is useful if used responsibly, this time thanks to it, I found out that a mexican baker had moved to town and I managed to get “Pan de Muerto” (Dead bread?). I feel like I have to describe it for non-mexicans: for… Continue reading Day of the dead away from Mexico
Thoughts on the pinebook pro
Back in September I pulled the trigger and ordered a pinebook pro. Long story short: I declare myself a fanboy, the pinebook pro from pine64 is a very capable little machine. There are a lot of better written and more detailed blog posts/reviews of the pinebook pro out there already but just in case: For… Continue reading Thoughts on the pinebook pro
Some thoughts on the weekend hike
This weekend was fun, on Sunday some friends invited me to tag along on their weekend hike.

Convenience vs Privacy (Round 2)
Context For a while now I’ve been trying to find ways to convey the risks of social media and the importance of privacy to my non-tech savvy family members, in a previous entry I went over getting away from WhatsApp (Facebook really) and using element connected to my own self hosted synapse server. The Social… Continue reading Convenience vs Privacy (Round 2)
Mexican food
Context I am writing this entry because today is September 15th, almost Mexican Independence day. Fun fact: The whole thing really started on September 16th, 210 years ago but to this day is celebrated on the night of the 15th because one of our presidents wanted to celebrate his birthday at the same time. See… Continue reading Mexican food
Convenience vs Privacy (Round 1)
A brief summary: I’ve been looking into privacy friendly alternatives to software most of us use or used in our everyday lives. To be more precise, an alternative to WhatsApp for communication within my family. Long story short: I lost this one… A while back I switched from WhatsApp to Signal and kind of forced… Continue reading Convenience vs Privacy (Round 1)
FOSS Donations
Let me start by saying that the purpose of this entry is not to say “Look at how selfless I am for donating money to FOSS organizations or projects” so, with that in mind, I will not list any specific quantities because that is not the point I am trying to make. Having written the… Continue reading FOSS Donations
