Welcome to my website!

Ramblings and thoughts about tech, free software, and hobbies of my life, shared bit by bit.

Enjoy your stay here!

Hey! I'm Joel (a.k.a joelchrono). A random guy from Mรฉxico lindo y querido! I am a hobby collector, fake fan of many things, foss enthusiast, gamer, mechatronics engineer, and of course, a blogger

You are visiting my personal website. Here you can see some of my thoughts and ramblings about tech, gaming and other hobbies, my favorite of which is origami. I hope you enjoy your visit! Take your time and explore as much as you want, thereโ€™s plenty of sections to dive into!

I'm really into music, this text will be overwritten by the latest song I listened to if you enable Javascript, maybe something by Miki Matsubara or Daft Punk.

Resident Evil (1996) ๐Ÿ•น

My review for the game that brought the Survival Horror genre to the spotlight, kickstarting one of gaming's most iconic franchises.

This week in other years

I use Arch, btw

I finally decided to give Arch Linux a try, and to get rid of my Windows partition once and for all. So far so good!

Re: What's in a Name? ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Answering some questions made by Alexandra Wolfe about names. Yes, it's basically another questions challenge, but quite interesting too.

Week Notes W15

Notes from April 8 to 14, 2025. This time I wrote my notes across every day of the week, instead of on a single sitting!

The Palace of Eternity ๐Ÿ“–

An interesting piece of science fiction that does a lot of things well, making it enjoyable for me despite some flaws.

Work and friends

My worklife has been quite alright, but trying to make proper friendships in the workplace is difficult sometimes.

Rethinking Self-hosting needs

Having a Raspberry Pi has allowed me to host a lot of alternatives to popular cloud services myself, but I have been thinking about how much do I actually need to host the stuff I do.

Support me

You can support me in many ways, either via PayPal, Liberapay or Ko-fi

I donโ€™t use crypto personally, but if you want to give me some, there is the option too. My domain provider actually lets me renew it with that! So it doesnโ€™t go to waste :P

Monero I only use Monero since at least its something anonymous and privacy respecting!
