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.

I want to further my career, I need to get better at everything. This includes but is not limited to learning new courses, but also getting proper certificates. I have to be better.

I already professionally do this, however I want to be able to prove this easily to future employers if necessary, I feel that an RHCSA certification may be valuable in this. However I will need more experience in what I already do.

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.

Boulder Rock

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:00:00 +0800

I went to this place called Boulder Rock after work, both because I needed to get some fresh air, but also because I wanted to test my (still) new camera, the OM-5 Mark II.

To actually get to the location, you follow Brookton Highway for a bit. I would heavily recommend GPS navigation for this, as actually spotting it through the trees while going 110Kph (~70Mph) is not that easy.

When you get there you can park your car on the side of the road. When I did some research before I went, I saw old(ish) posts mentioning how it used to be accessible by car, that there was signage and park benches all around it- but that has since been removed. The oldest references I could find to this was about 2011, so those signs haven’t been there for a good 15 years now.

NotifPWA

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 03:06:42 +0000

I ran into this issue that notifications could not easily be sent to my phone. I wanted something like ntfy, but self-hosted to keep my infrastructure mine. The issue with self-hosting ntfy is that push-notifications do not work (as of 24/07/2026) on iOS, because Apple™ loves doing things differently.

iOS 16.4+ supports Web Notifications as long as the site is a PWA. This is something I can use.

What is a “PWA”?

A “PWA” is similar to an App, it can be used like an app, added to the home screen, and offer other platform specific benefits, without getting into the nitty-gritty: You can use it as if it is an app, built for the platform you are on. What makes it different though is that traditionally websites are experienced more as a place you can visit, other than a place you have. A website doesn’t (typically) have a presence on the user’s device, instead it is requested / accessed by a browser.

Goblins

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 23:51:51 +0000

This is my goblin deck, first constructed deck I made. Filled with the cheapest goblins I could find, slowly but surely I have been revamping and upgrading it however.

Colors & branding

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 01:40:29 +0000

Everyone has favorite colors, I do too! So this post has swatches of the colors I like the most, and want to use more consistently with my projects.

Swatches

Here are also a few logos I use for my projects, both animated and static:

chatto.ts: Strictly typed Chatto Framework

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 01:19:59 +0000

Last week, I was doing my usual browsing of ycombinator, when I came across a post that read Chatto is now open source, which caught my attention, especially because the post (at the time of writing) had over 1100 points, so I had to look at what all the fuss was about.

I checked out the post, and it was immediately filled with incredible- if true claims, such as “extremely easy to self-host”, “very light on resources”, “snappiest frontend that you’ve ever used in an app like this”, “fully encrypted at rest”, and “voice and video calls”. Now this wouldn’t be the first time something like this pops up and it ends up being a lot less than what you would’ve wanted, or a garbled mess of AI slop that does not work in the slightest.

Lattice

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 04:33:48 +0000

A little visual lambda calculus you can draw. A program is a wired-up diagram of just two operations — λ (make a function) and @ (apply one) — plus variables and wires. Point the ► output at the top of your program, hit Run, and watch it reduce: the active step tints as substitution flows through the diagram.

Inspired by Lingdong Huang’s λ-2D. Pick a preset to see a finished program, or draw your own.

Leaving Gitea

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:47:46 +0000

Intro

As the title states, I am leaving Gitea. I started looking for alternatives after CVE-2026-27771¹, something that allowed people to pull private container images from the built in container registry without any authentication. It existed for years, and did affect Gitea as-well as Forgejo.²

While that issue alone wasn’t enough to make me migrate, it did make me start looking at alternative options. Combined with the disclosure of CVE-2026-20896 and a number of governance concerns (specifically its less than open source company environment) that have accumulated over the past few years, I’ve decided it’s time to move elsewhere.³

Deafheaven '26

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:48:44 +0000

Sunday (5/07/2026) I went to the Deafheaven concert in The Rechabite, went with some friends and had a ton of fun, got myself a sick Deafheaven t-shirt as well! The concert itself was great and accompanied by Gloam and Spy, though initially planned to be accompanied by Nothing, which couldn’t make it due to Visa issues unfortunately.

The energy was great and they played their entire album; Lonely People with Power.

Moving to Hugo

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:16:49 +0800

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.

Fremantle Artillery Barracks

This post features some of the first pictures I took with my new OM-5 Mark II, using the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO lens with a 1/8th Mist Filter.

The Building

The building is the old Victoria Barracks, which was acquired by the Commonwealth in 1909 for about £3,000, equivalent to about only A$476,000 in 2022, the style is like other federation free classical buildings and is currently owned by the DoD of Australia¹.

Squirrels

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:56:19 +0000

Why?

I like squirrels. Many tokens, many squirrels, even more squirrels to top it off. Plenty of ramp to start early with more squirrels, and them some more squirrels please.

Day 1

A warm welcome

Today, May 30th, 2026, marks 5 years since I started dating her.

As a celebration of this, we decided to splurge and get ourselves a nice hotel to stay at, and not to choose the cheapest offer we could find and instead book something a little bit more expensive to make it special- after all, we only get our 5 years once and it is quite the milestone.

Albany

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 11:32:33 +0000

We decided to head to Albany for new-years. As we arrived to meet with some family first of, I was astounded by the incredible beauty and sights that were there already.

In the area not too far from there was also the University of Western Australia, or at least a building of it. This building which once served as the post office for Albany was quite old by Australian standards (1869!).

Busselton

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 11:10:32 +0000

We went to Busselton for a nice trip over the long weekend.

Some of the notable things I noticed there was the well-known busselton jetty:

Araluen Botanical Park

Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:27:52 +0800

We went to this place called Araluen Botanical Park. Genuinely a really beautiful place, it was a very sunny day, the sky was clear, the flowers were blooming.

The park was filled with a variety of plants and flowers, each one was so incredibly vibrant that you just couldn’t quite capture on Camera.

A beautiful red flower I saw;

Actually trying vegemite (2026 / 7 / 1)

Surprisingly it took me over a year of being in Australia to actually try Vegemite.

I had seen these reaction youtubers make videos about how horrid it tasted, but then taking a spoon full of it and just eating it like that, which is quite clearly not the way you’d be meant to eat it. How many people eat butter or margerine with a spoon?
