Updated 4th of November from Funen.
Plants are dying down and we are harvesting the last root vegetables and herbs. We had plenty of fruit and berries this year but by now they are all gone.
Last month we had a baby girl, born at home on our smallholding. I am now the father of four: three boys and a little girl.
Working at a stealth startup as a Senior Software Engineer. I can not say much more than I greatly enjoy working at a start-up again. Primarily using Go the last two years has left me very impressed by the small and clean language. Made some attempts at optimizing my desk setup as I do spend quite some time here, primarily been focused on minimizing clutter, ergonomics and lighting. Still is still an ongoing (perhaps never ending) process.
Recently got the Folio edition of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species so I put some other books to the side to give it a go. When I am too tired to make sense of it I read Pallas by Lisa Kuznak.
Had to do some soldering for some small home automation tasks, it did not look very good but got the job done. Haven't soldered for years so was fun to get to practice that skill a bit. Been setting up a Raspberry Pi Zero to check in on our external freezers making sure the power is still on out there and keeping tabs on temperature and other environmental data.
Got reacquainted with using Linux for a daily driver as I set up Arch and Hyprland on a Asus NUC. Very happy with Hyprland and it has been very stable so far. Also took the time to migrate from VIM to Neovim (just wanted to experiment, somehow feels snappier but jury is still out).
Retaining my recommendations to check out VIM and Newsboat.
Time to cook some lunch.
Until next time, friends.
