New Website!

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 08:53:12 +0200

For the last couple weeks I have been thinking about starting a new website more than usually. It was in my bucket list, however I never really got to it because I didn’t want to spend too much time figuring confusing Hugo out. I could make purely html blog website like I did many times before, but I didn’t want that anymore. Not being able to manage blog posts properly was a huge deal for me. If i wanted to change something in website structure, I would have to edit every single page, and I had many journal posts. This demotivated me a lot in continuing with my websites and blogging.

Recently I have moved and got a new job. I finally got a tech related job where I can also use computer. In this new job I sometimes need to wait for some things for some periods of time, so why not use it for things like learning, managing my server and redoing my website. So I quickly set up neovim as IDE on my server and started doing it trough SSH. This might seem strange, but I am forced to use Windows at work, which is unusable for me. I don’t really know how to use it, it feels dumb and on top of that it is restricted as heck. Everything is connected to different systems and Microsoft ecosystem. I barely can install software because of the restrictions. I really would rather use bare TTY on Linux than Windows itself.

What now?

From this point, you can finally bookmark my website and check on it once in a while, since it is set up in a better system which motivates me now. Or you can also add this blog to your reader with RSS. I will be actually trying to keep this blog alive now, since it is also giving me some benefits like learning how to write better, finding interesting people, expressing my ideas and some more.

Is the website finished?

Absolutely not. I still have a lot of things to polish and change. I got the theme from some randomg repository on Github (it is GPLv3) and it helped me understand HUGO more, I would attribute the creator more but I feel like I changed the theme nearly completely to my likings. But I think it was called Plague.

So, as some might know me. I am almost never pleased with the things I create, so my website will keep getting edits and improvements. Who knows how long it will be until I decide to create a new theme. But it certainly won’t make the website inaccesible like it did before. So don’t worry, if anyone even worries.

What else is to be done?

There are quite a few things that need to be done on this website, like creating couple new pages like store, fursona info, favorite pages, etc.. But I also need to tweak the theme more, I need to figure out the layouts which I want to use, colors and shapes. I want to redo the about me page completely, for now there will be text from my old website as placeholder. I also want to play more with the index homepage more. You will see by the time.

I will be also getting more stickers and illustrations for this website, I am currently talking with my artist about the things like logos and icons.

So now that I have a better start, I am ready to resume my website dingly tingly dragoning. Thank you for readhing this post, and stay tuned for more things I will have to yap about :D

About me

Waffelo

(Jakub Heger)

Age: 20

Occupation: Server Technician

Focus: Linux systems

Running: Gentoo

I am a twenty years old passionate open source software and hardware enthusiast from the Slovak Repubic, but living in the Czech Republic. I have studied programming of CNC and welding machinery. I am currently employeed. I am lead admin and founder of the Drgnz Club community which is a small community.

My interests

There are quite a lot of things that I take interest in. I enjoy things such as film photography, journaling and reading books. But I also really enjoy doing 3D models in FreeCAD and 3D printing useful things. I run Linux on my server and even my personal computers. I really also like radio communication and electronics. And when it comes to physical activities, I like going for walks to the forest and meadows, basically comfy places. And I also am starting going to gym and for runs.

My system

I am currently daily driving Gentoo Linux with Sway WM on top of it. I use OpenRC as my init system and I preferably have mostly free software installed with few exceptions. One of my most favorite software gotta be Neovim, because I use it way too much.

When it comes to hardware, I chose to have everything AMD because it is the greatest option. I have a Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, Radeon RX6650XT GPU, 32GB of RAM and total of 7TB of storage installed.
