First of all, yes I forgot the website and blog again.
Second, catching up on the last blog:
- Haven't read much anymore
- Skateboarded more for a while, but I didn't get past basic ollies
- Didn't work at the website at all
Now what have I done then?
Well the first big change was that I finally switched to linux on my main/school laptop. One day after i acquired one song of bit a shady website, Windows Defender alerted me of a malware it detected and after checking it out I knew that I must reset the machine. (Side note: afterwards i noticed that it actually was a harmless exploit I downloaded myself once to test out....) . Since I had to reinstall the OS anyway, I decided its time to make the switch. After a bit of consideration I chose Garuda Hyprland Linux, because I wanted customization and hyprland but i knew from earlier experience that I wouldn't be able to handle a full setup from ground up. Now afterwards I'm sometimes kinda annoyed by some default stuff from Garuda, but i would've never gotten this far if i had to do everything myself. Currently I'm questioning the current setup regarding stability, since i already had major issues a handful of times.
During the sommer holidays I've been continuing my Warhammer 40k T'au army. While painting I also watched all Game of Thrones episodes. Currently I began testing out color schemes for my Kroots.
The homelab is now running actively for about 4 months with music acquisition being the only todo currently remaining (besides media torrents in my language for friends and family). After a bit of pain I can now, also access it remotely with a secondary authentication proxy in front of all services.
Once or twice a every year, I've had phases where I was trying out vim motions with ideavim for a few days. Till now it never really stuck with me. But for about 2 weeks now I'm actively using and enjoying it. Besides ideavim I also began to use neovim for basic file editing and hope to extend my configs now step by step.
My goal for the following months are to tackle a few of my bigger private todos, polishing the homelab, studying with HackTheBox, getting better at CTFs, configuring more of my tooling/OS and maybe if i have enough time get try out photography as a new hobby.
I hope you had a lovely day, have a good one. <3 Inog
