I post here stuff about Free Software, as well as some of my personal thoughts.
During the past few months I have not been active on this website at all. This is mainly because of work, and also because I was searching for a good place to host my website and services. The fact that I was changing my domain name which is a very painful process didn't help at all, as I'm sure you can imagine. Beginning 2023 I'd like to revive this site, post more stuff and maybe do a bit of a redesign. I'm happy to say that I already got a stable hosting kindly provided to me by my friend Waffelo, so I don't have to worry about things anymore. I also have way more free time now then I had before christmas.

This fact has made me switch to xmpp. For now, my JID is jakub@404.city until I self-host. I was blind the entire time, but XMPP is truly superior to matrix in almost every way.
This is a list of all services I use. Most are self-hosted and run on my server (though some on my friend waffelo's domain). All of them are also 100% Free Software.

ThinkPad X200 This ThinkPad is my daily driver and my #1 favorite computer. It runs 100% Free Software including the BIOS, it has phenomenal keyboard, has only trackpoint which I prefer, has tons of expansion and tons of ports. I also have a dock. I can hook it up to my 2 monitors, speakers, keyboard, mouse etc. It's just perfect.[SYS]: Arch GNU+Linux [CPU]: Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 [RAM]: 8GB DDR3 [SSD]: 512 GB SSD [SCR]: TN panel 1280 x 800 [KEY]: Classic keyboard
