I have been using OpenBSD as a router at home for a long time. There are many reasons to choose OpenBSD for this task, being one of them that the base install includes everything you need.

I have been working from home since 2015. I had to move with my wife to a small city, but I was able to keep my job at the University and regularly travel to our home town to meet my colleagues. However in 2017 I started working for a company based in the UK and video-conferences became very common in my day to day.

I do not certainly hate systemd, I see its power, but in my opinion some of its ideas are not helping at all, or maybe they were not executed the best way possible.

I take care of several Redmine based platforms, and every now and then I get a report about an issue that disappeared under unknown circumstances. Logs show that it is usually caused by someone with too many privileges who accidentally deleted the issue, but that’s another story.

I have always avoided working with XML. Parsing and writing it always felt too difficult. I thought that way until I found an actually easy and manageable way of working with it. I will focus on the process of generating XML documents using PHP.
