I just recently found out that Netlify CMS, which I have been using to generate posts easily on this site has been rebranded to Decap CMS. I went ahead and changed the necessary moving pieces, which is not a lot, and I have been using it now typing this.
Updated Hugo (which statically generates this site) to v0.127.0, thankfully nothing breaks so far.
I am now signing my Android custom ROM builds with my own private keys. This is for the new requirement of Play Integrity that checks now if the ROM is signed or not.
Ditching again Google Apps on my phone for microG, hopefully I won’t revert back due to some apps that requires it.
Changing the site colors to light mode.
I’m now inspired to add the tech I’m using here, as well as updating my site again, credits to Derek Sivers for the motivation for all of this.
After a month of trials, I finally built a stable custom Android rom for my old device. I now even tried applying backported security patches. All is good.
Frequent evening bike rides while stargazing with clear skies on a remote area has been the highlight of these past few days together with my listening parties.
The bicycle is a freedom machine. Not only will it take you where you want to go under your own power, but it disdains the bonds of pavement and settled map as well. In fact, the only thing that holds the bike back is a lack of imagination, which explains why kids ride their bikes in places adults wouldn’t think to.

Between you and me, I suspect that the simple act of riding a bike regularly will actually expand your mind, or, at the very least, your sense of where you can get under your own power. In this sense, I pity the fools who move themselves only by automobile. They take dead-end signs literally. They live in a horribly proscribed world.
Rise up early, tried to chill for a bit, remembered to fix some deprecated functions in Hugo, and suddenly this website is now using v0.102.0 version, which is latest as of today. Nice holiday.
I’m starting again to make some minor tweaks in the site and these changes are mostly done in Hugo. I am using a version from two years ago and I need to keep up with the current one just for fun.
Apparently, I can’t build the site using the versions staring from v0.93.0 so I am currently stuck in v0.92.2 which is still fairly impressive as I haven’t done any major changes in the code to accommodate such feature updates.
When the right time comes, I’ll sit with this again to rewrite some things to use the current version. Well, if it happens in the near future. I am just glad to be back writing some nonsense again in this space. Cheers.
