Missives

I used to shoot fresh spawns who came too close to my base.

It was nothing personal. In DayZ, the harmless guy wearing a T-shirt and carrying a plum can return twenty minutes later with a shotgun and three friends. Killing him was simply the safest option.

If I could whisper to my 23-year-old self, I’d tell him this:

• Stop wasting time worrying about what people think.
• Pour your energy into building, into creating, into making something that’s yours.
• And never forget: everything is impermanent — every victory, every failure, every storm.

That truth alone is enough to keep you moving forward.

After being suspended without warning, my account on X was restored.

Lesson stays the same: if you rely only on centralized platforms, you are always one click away from being erased.

Account from 2006. Almost 1200 followers. GONE.

No clear reason. just “violated authenticity rules.”

Didn’t insult anyone. Didn’t spread fake news. Just posted.

They threatened to block any new account I create.

See how dumb it is to rely on centralized platforms?

Running AI models locally on your Mac M1 is easier than you think.

I just released a 30-minute playbook that shows exactly how to run Ollama fully local on Mac M1:

• Full install guide
• Copy-paste terminal commands
• Model recommendations tested on M1 hardware
• Performance optimization tips
• Local security checklist
• Bonus cheat sheet included

Essa semana eu publiquei um vídeo no meu canal do Youtube explicando alguns pontos que eu considero importantes e aplico de maneira objetiva no meu site.

O vídeo pode ser interessante para quem se preocupa com soberania, segurança e privacidade.

Ongoing work on fully revamping my dot-files install.sh and Neovim stack.

• Dotfiles bootstrap is now modular and declarative.
• install.sh handles symlinks, backups, plugin sync, and full lazy.nvim bootstrap automatically.
• Neovim config is framework-free, built from scratch with isolated plugin control.
• Full lazy-loading using lazy.nvim, with sniper-level loading precision.
• LSP, CMP, Treesitter, and nvim-tree properly initialized using config blocks.
• Keymaps handled via which-key with full namespace documentation.

Work in progress. Updates and refinements will continue over the next days.

Ran my site through MDN’s security scanner and kept tweaking until I hit 120/100 (A+).

Checked the scan history and the very first one, back in 2018, scored 20/100 (F).

Always improving.

This website used to run on Cloudflare Pages. And being 100% honest with my visitors: I had all analytics disabled.
But I still wanted to know more about my traffic without compromising anyone’s privacy.

So I migrated everything to my own VPS. Now I use nothing but raw logs + GoAccess to understand what’s going on.
No JavaScript tracking, no fingerprinting, no big tech spy bullshit.

Nginx logs + GoAccess = enough intel to know what’s happening, without selling anyone out.
