What I’m doing now

(last updated September 28, 2025)

Working a full time job with overtime at a cabinet shop. Started at the bottom as an assembler (drone wage slave work), almost reached breaking point and quit, but was recently promoted to CNC machine operator.
Working a gig job delivering wedding rentals (things like tables, benches, rugs, etc.) I take jobs when I want. They are usually short (around 2-3 hours), and the pay is good.
After a time of life characterized by much scrambling about, finally settling into my current place and routines.
Living sober. It’s not a lifelong commitment, but a current practice to refocus my energy where I need it. Caffeine is the only mind altering substance I consume regularly.
Practicing minimalism in multiple areas of life (digital, physical, etc.)

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the tools and technologies that I use regularly.

Cloud file storage: Syncthing for my own personal cloud
Notes: Obsidian
Tasks: a todo list in Obsidian
Calendar: I don’t keep an actual calendar, digital or physical, just a list of upcoming events in Obsidian
Contacts: I don’t use any app to manage contacts
Office suite: LibreOffice
Personal finance: I don’t use any app to manage my finances
Passwords: stored in Ungoogled Chromium
IDE: VS Code
Version control: GitHub
