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.
