now

I'm on PTO for 3 weeks here and will be trying to focus my time and energy on hobbies as much as possible.

I play and watch way too many games, shows, and movies to list them all here. If you're actually interested, email or message me to talk about media!

• Playing some games:
  • Battlefield 6
  • Rocket League
  • Runescape
  • Saints Row IV
• Watching some shows:
  • Archer (2009)
  • Breaking Bad (2008)
  • The Penguin (2024)
• Watched some movies:
  • Batman Begins (2005)

Two of my blog posts were recently featured on Hacker News, lobste.rs, Financial Times roundup, Gemini BBS, and more places around the web.

I gathered some metrics to see how my site handled it. Anecdotally, it didn't affect my home internet at all, regardless of the traffic.

However, I have anonymous metrics visible in both Cloudflare and GoAccess on the web server, so I ran a summary to see what the traffic spike looked like.

In the table below, note that Cloudflare counts all traffic, while GoAccess only counts traffic flowing through Nginx - which is primarily cleberg.net. Services under the *.zerolabs.sh subdomains don't flow through Nginx.
