Evergreen Goals #

“A big part of becoming a wizard is understanding how a seemingly magical computer system works.”
– Julia Evans

chibiOS: learning more about OS development via Oppermann’s fantastic blog series.
kitab: a minimal note-taking web app built in Go with Gin & GORM. Mostly to mess around with back-end dev in Go.
Reworked the blog infrastructure for fun: now deployed on a VM with Caddy for serving, and prometheus+grafana for metrics.

Warhammer 40K lore -> been binging lots of 40K lore, mostly through Luetin09’s amazing videos.
The History of Rome by Mike Duncan -> got interested in Roman history out of the blue, and this podcast has been fantastic for casual learning.

Currently playing (ish)

Played in 2022

Elden Ring -> obsessed over this game for 2 months straight for a total of 90 hours. Absolutely phenomenal game and my intro to the From Software games. 5/5
Tiny Tina Wonderland -> surpisingly short (but fun) campagin with lots of bugs, but still a good time with friends. 2.5/5
Forward: Escape the Fold -> a fun card-based roguelike to play while having something on the background. 3/5
Lost Ark -> Great gameplay, extremely grinding; the classic Korean mmo combo. 3/5

Read in 2022

The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli –> beautiful book that forever alters the concept of time to me. 4/5
Foundation by Isaac Asimov –> really cool concept with original ideas that have aged amazingly well. 4/5
Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke –> surprisingly coherent thematically considering it’s a series of letters over 5 years. Regardless it obscure in its exploration of solitude. 2/5
The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran –> beautiful & poetic prose with many memorable one-liners & metaphors. Basically what self-help books whish they were. 3/5
Why Fish Don’t Exist -> a beautiful interweaving narrative that mixes an autobiography, a historical biography, and more than dash of existentialism. 3/5
