Storage and backups are hard. It’s something if not managed on a regular basis becomes extremely difficult to untangle. When it comes to managing data and storage, I’ve tried many tools and always felt like there was no declarative and automated way to express how my data moves between various storage mediums and effectively backup to the cloud without fuss.

I’d end up writing these complex systemd files with all the various cli’s and found it very annoying, especially when things went wrong and I only found out 2 or 3 terabytes later in the cloud or when the disk completely filled up. There was no easy way via the cli to manage the various mediums of storage and ended up re-reading the man pages for each program what felt like 100 times over.

oh hey! this is the site you’re on right now! this is just the repo for this site. It revolves around a static website generator called hugo! this thing is amazing and I love it!

I used a few things to get the whole thing together including postCSS and Babel. I’ll def keep updating this site with some cool things I keep learning about the web!

You can checkout what I used to piece together this website bellow:

My personal dotfiles for my linux system. I’m constantly updating this to refit my needs and adding new things everyday. It’s for sure one of my Pride and Joys.

I’ve also gone through a fair amount of window managers, including i3, xmonad, and leftwm. I mostly run my linux machines on gentoo (as it’s easy for me as a developer) and in the past arch linux.

you’re more than welcome to go and try it on your system and see what you think!

I got really tired of maintaining all of my gentoo servers, kubernetes clusters, and docker containers manually. This is the lazy mans solution I came up with myself. I also just needed a way to quickly get new workstations up.

Learning ansible was awesome and I loved it! it was a bit vague is some areas, but I picked it up fairly quickly.
