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.

This week in other years

If everyone read everywhere

A random moment in the bus got me daydreaming about a world where everyone carries a book instead of a phone

Gotta theme them all

I enjoy customizing my devices, I can't help it when a new toy shows up, even more when I can actually modify assets and graphics myself.

52 Week Notes later

I've been writing weeknotes for about a year now, and here are some thoughts about it!

Week notes for week 46 of 2024, shopping, secret santa at the office, having to pay for customs, reading and other things.

Black Easter 📖

A rather interesting novel where magic is real, and a black magician summons all the demons of Hell to roam free on Earth, for a single night.

The Fediverse and school stuff

These last few weeks a lot of things have happened. The Fediverse is growing, I did a Science Fair project, the last days of school are ending and I have some free time to mess up my phone.

Linux, Elitism and complexity

Although this started as a response, this will probably end up in some random tangents with some weird rambling.

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!
