As the wikipedia says, «The term “digital nomad” started to be used in the early 1990s to describe a new type of high tech traveling lifestyle made possible by the growth of computer networking and popularization of mobile devices like laptops, tablets and PDAs.
As I mentioned in the update of the last post, I decided to give Bluesky a chance as long as I could host my own PDS to maintain the feeling of owning my data.
Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of —annoying— noise about the little blue bird (which is no longer a bird, nor blue), the blue butterfly (Bluesky, I guess), and the Mastodon.
As someone who consumes and tracks a some media items (books, series, movies, videogames, music…), I’ve always looked for ways to keep an updated record without adding too much friction to my workflow.
I’ve finally managed to make a few small changes to this site that I’ve been wanting for a while. There were certain small details that didn’t quite convince me, and with each passing day, I felt a growing need to try and adjust them.
Lately, I’ve been diving - a bit more - into Hugo templates and archetypes, and I decided to create a medialog to track all the media I’m currently consuming: movies, series, books, games, music… This space helps me keep everything organized, and I’m hoping it won’t be forgotten—like some other parts of this site have been!
Everyone I know enjoys taking vacations, having free time, spending time with family, and doing different things that the daily grind might not allow for, etc. As much as I love disconnecting during this leisure time, due to the nature of my work, I always need to have a data plan and some gadget on hand that allows me to remotely connect to servers, if only to be able to restart a service that’s acting up.

I was browsing the Mastodon timeline and came across this interesting article by Rach Smith discussing a key factor in becoming a developer. I mostly agree with her perspective.

If memory serves me right, this is the first family trip we’ve taken since last summer. It’s been a somewhat unusual winter, but in the end, we managed to break away from routine and enjoy a weekend in the capital with the excuse of seeing a musical we’ve been wanting to watch for a while.
