I bought my first GaN charger two years ago and now I own five. Not because I'm a charger collector ( though that's basically what I've become ), but because once you go GaN you physically cannot go back to those brick-sized power adapters that ship
I used to keep everything. Every photo. Blurry shots, duplicate exposures, accidental presses of the shutter. My Lightroom catalog had 40,000 files and I'd maybe edited 200 of them. That's not a workflow ( that's a storage problem. The Culling Problem Nobody Talks About
I drive east from Montevideo most long weekends. Route 10, the coast road, whatever you want to call it — it is the best thing about living in Uruguay and I will not hear otherwise. Three hours, a tank of gas, and you are somewhere that looks like the inside of
I have configured nginx more times than I care to count. Every new server, every new project, every time I think I remember the syntax ( I don’t ). nginx is one of those tools that does everything but the docs feel written for people who already know nginx. So here

I manage a handful of VPS boxes. Every time I spin up a new one I forget something. Disable root login? Nope. Set up fail2ban? Maybe next week. Unattended upgrades? Lol. After one too many "wait, how did that get in" moments, I wrote myself a checklist. Here
Digital minimalism is having a moment. Again. Every six months someone writes a book about it, it trends on Twitter for a week, and then everyone goes back to doomscrolling. I’ve been through three or four of these cycles and I can tell you: most of what passes for
I have owned, lost, and destroyed more power banks than I care to count. The cheap ones died after three months. The expensive ones I left on airplanes. The ones with built-in cables seemed smart until the cables frayed and I was stuck carrying a brick with a useless nub
