I never thought to much about years and them ending or starting, but for the first time I retrospectively thought of it having been a good year.

So I might as well start documenting it for myself such that I can reconstruct a timeline of what I did in years and at what points I was later.

Got inspired by sizeof.cat.

tech

This year I’ve spent the most time by far with nixOS. It’s a great lot of fun, Ersei threw me into the rabbit hole, thanks Ersei!

And due to university I’ve HAD to learn java.

I’ve managed to buy only one thinkpad (x220) this year.

positive influences

Tech and lifestyle wise, like in the last two years, it were once again luke smith and james scholz that had a positive influence on me.
