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 México 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, there’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.

August 2025 Summary

A look back at the media I enjoyed (or not so much) throughout the month

My lost game saves

Across the multiple computers and devices I have played on, it is only natural that I have lost many playthroughs out of nowhere

Explaining hobbies is weird

I am not that good at talking in person or explaining myself, even less so when it comes to things I like

August 2024 Summary

What I did in August, from podcasts and manga, to binge-watching another anime and actually reading a book for once!

Losing data, making backups

I deleted a bunch of data using the rm command, thankfully, a happy coincidence made my pain a lot more bearable

Borrowing games from friends

In the age of subscriptions and digital stores, physical media has lost traction, and I feel like it still has many advantages, like being able to play the games your friends own!

The Hobby Cycle

There is a bit of a thing with me that has evolved as times goes on. I love learning new hobbies, but I also can't avoid rediscovering my love for old ones, but lately its been a little crazy and it looks like each day I am doing something different.

Not every post has to be a tutorial (Catching up)

During the last couple of days I have been thinking about topics I want to cover, but I don't have the time to invest in proper explanations. I decided to let it be and just talk about what I've been doing these days.

Support me

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

I don’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 doesn’t go to waste :P

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