The last 4 months were a huge pile of shit for me.
My father passed away after about three months with aggressive cancer. I still haven’t fully processed it because I’m drowning in Italian bureaucracy that keeps me occupied (lucky me, huh?). But still, I miss him every fucking moment, but especially when I watch Inter matches, which we used to comment on in real time via chat. Fuck cancer.
On top of that, my girlfriend went through a severe burnout, and I dealt with some health issues, so I guess it makes sense that I haven’t updated the blog for a while.
On the other hand, I’ve developed some sane coping mechanisms that kept me alive and functioning:
- I’ve become a gym rat. If I could tell my past self this, he’d probably spit in my eyes. But hey, I love training! Cardio, functional, calisthenics. They make me feel better than I’ve ever felt.
- I went to a few tech conferences: All of them were interesting, especially the security-focused ones. I learned a lot, took notes on topics I’d like to learn and try, and kept thinking about submitting a talk for one of those conferences.
On the technical side for you nerds, I ditched the write.as platform and spawned an instance on Hetzner. I choose Hugo with the Hugo blog awesome theme: it works, it’s blazing fast and I like it.
Oh, I should also mention some work-related news here, but I’ll cover it in the next post.
