The Midnight Sun

Gaming 2025 was a memorable gaming year for me—I purchased the Nintendo Switch 2 Super Mario Kart World bundle within a couple of weeks after its global release!

I have known about ZFS since 2009, when I was working for Sun Microsystems as a campus ambassador at my college.

In my previous post, I had explained how I set up an N100 mini PC as an OPNsense firewall in my home network.

I have been working remotely for the past 6+ years, and my wife has been working remotely for the past few years.

After listening to a lot of grandma stories when I was very young, I started reading story books, in English and Tamil, during my school days.

2024 has been a good year for me and my family, and I wanted to share some highlights from it.

As I am passionate about self-hosting, I have been setting up various services in my homelab, in addition to those on my cloud servers.

I use emacs as my editor and have it configured to delete all trailing whitespace in a file, including any trailing newlines at the end, before saving it.

The Firefox multi-account container add-on is very useful for creating isolated containers for various sites and groups of sites.

I have been using the Netspeed widget on my KDE Plasma installations for a long time to display the network download and upload speed in the Plasma panel.
