Does anyone have tips on how get started with technical blog?
Spanish! Been learning for about 4 months and just had my first opportunity to speak a lot, stayed with a spanish speaking family for 4 days. It went much worse than expected, I couldnt understand anything and spoke so slowly that I only had a few oppirtubities to join the conversation. So I hope by the end of 2025 ill be a little more fluent. Using a program called learncraft spanish currently and its been very very…

Spanish is extremely pattern-regular and maps to English very well once you "see the Matrix" and learn the tricks. Happy to help — if you like, let me know your contact info and I can get in touch back-channel.
For the past month I've been contributing to a sqlite rust rewrite, and I want to continue until such a point that I would feel comfortable working full time on that (not just on the relatively low hanging fruit). Also want to explore more OCI runtime internals is something I've been fascinated with for a while that I want to get into.
I want to solve a rubiks cube in less than a minute. Less than 30 seconds would be really cool. Got a nice speed cube with magnets for christmas, so that's the first important step on the journey :-)
Non-technical skills * (Continue) Dancing - Beginning of 2023, I got into street style dance and movement (including stretching which I've done now for the past 223 days) helped me get through one of the most challenging periods of my life (i.e. divorced with a child, moved from U.S. to London to single raise my daughter). Dance has now taken its life of its own and I'm finding myself competing in dance "battles" as…
How did you get interested in opposite ends of the tech stack?

Definitely agreed with the idea that avoiding burnout is mostly a matter of doing the inverse of what you do on a regular basis[1].
1. speak english properly, because i'm planning to move abroad, and get a job as an engineer. 2. how to self hosting, like buy a cheap machine, create a website like blog, setup a kubernetes cluster, backup and security stuff (for learning purposes) 3. drive a car
Depending on where you're going.. I've got some sad news about 2.. Most ISP's in Canada and Australia don't allow you to self host. Not from home. I've set up a system to do it, and then run into a wall when my isp won't let port 80 connections. You can Ngrok (or the likes) but honestly these cost as much or more than hosting on Fly.io or something. Just giving you the warning.
