Status update, March 2025

March has been a slow month. I’ve not being doing much.

Reading

I’m still waiting for Wind and Truth. It was published last December, but I haven’t found the Spanish translation in any of the book stores I frequent. Just to keep the streak going I started reading The Hobbit. Maybe I end up re-reading Lord of the Rings.

Watching

I went to see Flow, an Oscar-winning movie that happens to have been created with Blender. I’m a huge open source nerd and, to be honest, the fact that the movie was made with Blender was the only reason I wanted to see it.

Self-hosting

I don’t think much with my self-hosted setup. It works fine without me having to constantly monitor it. However, once a month or so I check if there are any new applications worth deploying. This month I decide to try to add a single sign-on service to centralize the authentication for the apps I’m running on my Raspberry Pi.

Authelia seemed to be the easiest to set up. It is also written in Go, which is a plus for me. At this point almost all the services I run are written in Go.

Development

I’ve been exploring how to build Discord bots, practicing data structures and algorithms and also checking out some stuff with D-Bus. Apart from that not much else. The lifting tracker app has been staled for a while. I need to get back to it.
