What I'm doing now

September was a breeze. I've started my new job that comes with a lot of new things to learn and adjust to. Small team, a lot of open source, a lot of stuff we host ourselves. Which is a nice change of scenery in a Hyperscaler-first world.

The crazy thing is that last week we switched off a good chunk of infrastructure because we don't need it anymore. Freeing up hardware for new things.

Spent quite some time reading with the Xteink X4 and obviously built this nowpage thingy and threw it online on nowpag.es which you might be reading here right now :) Also started to contribute some smaller fixes to the crosspoint firmware.

I really like to code things with Django these days. Together with a SQLite database, it becomes effortless to build something and not worry about the friction of technology that comes with it.

But that mainly also boils down to having a nice hosting stack that I've built out over the past year.

I also spent some time to finally tackle the navigation issue on my website. I liked the non-navigation stuff for such a long time, but it got annoying. Also, I stumbled upon people having a page of tools and stuff they use, so I started a /use page.

Currently still reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. Also started Männer, die die Welt verbrennen
And switched my digital library over to Calibre-Web-NextGen

I've upgraded to the P4Next Recorder which finally solves a few shortcomings of the P4

Released NRDY008, just towards end of July (because i did't want to wait for august) and produced the whole thing in an afternoon.

And currently working on NRDY008.

Together with /loyy we've submitted our exposé to katalysathOhr
