This page.

This is my space, my domain. Where I’ll be posting all about my homelab, what services I haves, the issues I faced as well as a journal of which topics I’m studying for example currently I’m preparing to take The Linux Foundation SysAdmin certification exam.

Here I’ll also be posting my other projects that may or may not be related to programming, like poems I write, short stories, the videogames demos I try to make, or the abandoned open source projects I try to bring back to life.

Me

I’m a Mexican developer, neurodivergent, raised by a teacher and a librarian so I’ve been reading my whole life and I give a lot of importance to sharing knowledge.

After not touching a single line of code my whole life, I entered to a computer engineering degree in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM in spanish) where I fell in love with programming I was fascinated when I started to understand how to instruct computers to do things, it was the first step to understanding how videogames or the intenet worked so I used a lot of my time to learn more and experiment further with code both in computer and in hardware with arduino.

In my second semester I discovered what Open Source was and started to get to know the Linux Operatin system and fell in love again, I was amazed by how big of an impact a community working together could make. An university student’s project became a globally used project with thousand of contributors. So I spent my time getting familiar with how linux worked and what other open source projects existed. Then a year after I came across a community of students that belonged to my university but in another location, GDG UNAM , I started going and participating in their meet ups, because the idea was the same, a group of people wanting to share knowledge of something they were interested. But after the covid pandemic we all got jobs and couldn’t mantain the community and while we to still create resources we are not as active as before. Tha’s why I wanted to start this blog to share my experiences and the bit of knowledge I’ve gathered in these few years.

Things I think people will ask (or just questions I want to answer)

• Why not just use medium as a blog?
  Well mainly because medium limits how many articles can a person read if they are not subscribed to their services. I believe in free knowledge, already had the domain name and already had a raspberry hosting services.
• Why not use x or mastodon?
  I don’t like x. And I will try to use Mastodon but I often forget it exists and I don’t post anything.
• What Linux Distro do you use?
  I use Debian in all my computers, in my tablet I use Gnome as my Desktop environment and for anything with a keyboard I use swaywm.
• Why do you publish poems in a programming blog?
  Why not? I love poems and this hugo theme allows me to easily sepparate posts by category so it works.
• What is your favorite pokemon?
  Mimikyu and rotom, but tbh I wrote mimikyu instantly and had to search for rotom’s name.
