What am I up to these days?

    I’m currently preparing a presentation on homelabbing and self hosting for the Techno Drinks Sherbrooke meetup. There’s no planned date yet. It’s been a fun ride. I’ve built a toy homelab with Docker and Dockhand. I’ve also played around with TrueNAS and ZimaOS. It’s been a great learning experience and I hope to turns out great.

    I work on this website on and off. I try to keep up with it when I can. I’ve been enjoying the indie web and I wanted to take part in it. It’s really great to see people building their own little corners of the internet. This has motivated me to put some more effort into my own website.

    I run a home server where I host a bunch of services. It’s an ongoing forever project. I keep making changes and adding stuff to it. Check out my uses page to see what I’m running on there. It’s been really fun to see how much I can host myself without relying on cloud-hosted-services that harvest your data. I started sharing this setup with my family. It’s a slow start but hopefully this is something that can become useful to them.

    My dad and I have a thing where we meet up every other week to work on tech projects. These days, we’ve been building him a homelab. I’ve been teaching him about docker, linux, and all those kinds of things. After that, he’ll teach me about electronics and audio. We’ll be building a small audio setup for my home.

    I’m part of the organizational committee for Techno Drinks Sherbrooke. It’s a monthly meetup in my city about tech stuff. There’s usually a couple of talks with some food and drinks. It’s a great time. What I really like about it is the community that’s growing around it. So far, I’ve given a few talks which I’m really proud of.

    Reading

    Every once in a while I get into the mood for some reading. It’s been a great way to learn new things and to relax. Currently, I’m reading through “Searching for Alaska” by John Green.

    Here are some of my past reads:

    Old stuff

    April 2026: I released a mostly stable v0 of standard-backups. It’s a pluggable backup orchestrator that I built for myself. I wanted something that I could configure once and easily swap between backup tools. I’ve been running it since and it’s been a good time.

    January 2026: I’ve been playing Drova - Forsaken Kin and I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit. It’s a fantastic game. If you like open-world RPGs, give it a try.
