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.

September 2026 Summary

My recap of all the media I enjoyed during the month! Movies, podcasts, videogames and the like!

I was on a podcast (again)

For the second time ever, you are able to hear my voice on the internet! This time along with James on his show: Wonders of Web Weaving!

This week in other years

The time commuting to work

I didn't like all the time lost while going to and from work, but there's a certain joy to it that I've learned to appreciate a bit more.

When a tool becomes a hobby

Sometimes I get into collecting something, when usually a single one is enough, this happens with many tools, so I shared some thoughts about why.

An old computer for a kid

A family friend's kid asked me to take a look at a old computer he got as a gift from an uncle, so I decided to help, secretly hoping he learns computing is pretty cool.

A morning before work

I just arrived to my bus to work, and decided to write about how my morning started today

Ask Me Anything

Running out of ideas for a blog, at least today, so just leave me your questions and I shall answer.

Word filters are great

Word filters are a pretty useful feature to have, both on your feed reader and your social media of choice.

Still using Gboard

A brief history of the different keyboards I've tried on my phone, and how I ended up using GBoard despite it all.

This week so far...

Just a bunch of random thoughts and things I did during the weekend, feel free to skip maybe.

Enabling 2FA everywhere ain't easy

Since the Twitch leak that revealed quite a lot of data and source code, I got the urge of evaluating all of my passwords and authentication methods, and I got into another password cleanup phase, I was surprised to see 2FA is still not implemented everywhere.

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!
