For the vast majority of 2025, I was a very happy Hyprland user. In fact, there is so much about Wayland and Hyprland specifically that I really enjoy, that if you’d asked me a few weeks ago if I’d ever switch back to X11, I’d have said absolutely not. The thing is, this is Hyprland we’re talking about. And while it has gotten way better than it had been when it comes to stability, it isn’t perfect.

My lack of blogging recently has bothered me. Part of it was that I was a little burnt out. I just had very little to talk about. But there was something else. Around that same time Umami decided to go to version 3.0. For those of you who don’t know, Umami is a Google Analytics alternative that is self hostable and privacy focused. The problem is, the new update is garbage. The new UI is unintuitive an requires more work to get around to stats you’d like to see.

Yes, this is late. It has been a busy few days. Work Wait. Work? Yeah, kinda. I got a call back a few days ago, and now have an interview scheduled for January. I received another call back today, but no interview with that one yet, they had some questions about the C/V. I’m honestly surprised about both of these given the time of year and how shit the economy is.
