2025 in Review

One goal I set for myself for 2025 was to publish ~1 blog per week. I'm at ~20 blog posts, so I've achieved around half of my goal (if we're feeling generous).

This is not due to ideas for blog entries - I have a huge list of entries I've started to write. They just haven not been published yet for various reasons. Mostly time, since the posts don't write itself (I have committed to not using any GenAI for my blogs.).

But at the Google search console I've had more than 100 organic visits to my blog in December. This is far more popular than I'd have imagined, which motivates me to continue posting.

I've started this blog mostly as a public repository of my notes and knowledge, and I will continue to do so in 2026 onwards. It is probably my fourth or fifth attempt at starting a blog, but I'm slowly consolidating my You can find a deeper discussion about the philosophy and where I'd like to take my blog in my post about digital gardening and brutalism.

I didn't really set any other goals, since most of my free time is spent with the family.

You will find most of the things I'm pursuing and publicly sharing in my blog posts. In particular, you can find the review of my gaming in 2025 and my homelab 2025 in two separate blog posts.

There are a few things, like for example, my 3D printing experiences, I'm looking to share soon.

In conclusion, I think it has been a challenging year due to many (external) factors, but personally it has also been a successful year during which I've achieved many things I'm proud of.
