It’s those damn phones, is something I often heard jokes about parents saying, and my parents and grandparents would say things with a similar message.

Like many in my generation I would shrug it off, however as I have gotten older I have come to notice that many behavioural patterns of mine are so deeply ingrained in me, that I cannot help but use my mobile phone at the earliest (in)convenience.

Homelab Upgrade

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 07:51:59 +0000

Thinking of upgrading my homelab, just detailing it here so I can get some reference numbers easily.

There are a couple reasons for this, mainly space efficiency and power efficiency.

This will cut down overall space and power usage, both the amount of plugs I am using in a power board but also the overall power requirements. In terms of space it is saving, I will be replacing 3 seperate “mini” pc’s to all be consolidated into this one.

Moving to Hugo

Why?

The beginning of trouble

On my previous site, I had written my own frontmatter interpreter to make blogging easy. I did not like the complexity or feel that existing options like wordpress provided, and I did not Google much longer than 30 seconds to see if the tool I was looking for already existed. So I had coded one, from scratch… That went predictably horribly and I had to continually make changes just to accomodate new features I didn’t think of initially.
