In the last few days... has it been a week? I've spent time learning about the history of multics, unix, linux. It's been such an adventure. It's humbling to see how everything unfolded. For now, I'm hoping to create a little pubnix. For that, I'm learning about debian and setting up systems. More updates on that soon!

I just saw that brave will roll-out their own search engine. I'm all in favor of anything that helps with privacy. For a few month new I've been browsing the web without javascript enabled and while it breaks way too many sites, it feels better.
Hello world!
I just found out about gemini://konpeito.media and what a great surprise! Old-school mixtapes with a great vibe. Perfect companion to browse the small web. I love how the first mixtape is called "TRAPPIN' IN GOPHERSPACE".
