It's been some time since I last wrote here. Fear not, for I have big plans for Haiiro! But more on that later. It's now 2025! Happy (very late) new year! I hope you're doing well.

It is also my 7th year of using Linux, and around the 4th or 5th year of using it without a dual-boot fallback. I don't quite remember when I removed Windows completely. I will be making a post about my journey soon-ish, so stay tuned for that. This post is really just a practice of sorts.

Anyways, back to the plans, I will reveal two things for sure right here, and that will be... a new theme, and a somewhat quicker way for me to write posts. I have haiiro-generator, and it is awesome, however I am planning to make a script on the server side to periodically just git sync and rebuild the site for me. That way I don't even have to touch it!! Wow!

The new theme will probably just be like this current one with a little bit more "pizazz". Look forward to it!

I've added micro posts! They're like regular posts, except only on the homepage. And smaller.

The past few weeks I've had a ton of problems with my ISP and my own router as well. I've been using a TP-Link Archer C5 v4 for a few years now, it's been a decent enough router. However after my electricity went out around a week ago, the router has been acting up. It's been dropping the PPPoE connection every few hours, and the only way to fix it is to reboot the router, or to disable and re-enable the WAN connection.

I tried a lot of things, but eventually just ended up nuking the entire thing and putting OpenWRT on it. And you know what? Even if it was a little bit painful, it's been a great experience! I can't believe how much you can do with this thing. The problem is gone. I still don't know what caused it, but at least it's fixed now.
