<h1>Así nomás está quedando el página</h1>
<p>Estuve acomodando un poco más el <em>sItIo</em>, al fin agregué la &ldquo;sección&rdquo; de <a href="https://luevano.xyz/contact.html">contact</a> y de <a href="https://luevano.xyz/donate.html">donate</a> por si hay algún loco que quiere tirar varo.</p>
<p>También me puse a acomodar un servidor de <a href="https://xmpp.org/">XMPP</a> el cual, en pocas palabras, es un protocolo de mensajería instantánea (y más) descentralizado, por lo cual cada quien puede hacer una cuenta en el servidor que quiera y conectarse con cuentas creadas en otro servidor&hellip; exacto, como con los correos electrónicos. Y esto está perro porque si tú tienes tu propio server, así como con uno de correo electrónico, puedes controlar qué características tiene, quiénes pueden hacer cuenta, si hay <em>end-to-end encryption</em> (o mínimo <em>end-to-server</em>), entre un montón de otras cosas.</p>
<p>Ahorita este server es SUMISO (<em>compliant</em> en español, jeje) para jalar con la app <a href="https://conversations.im/">conversations</a> y con la red social <a href="https://movim.eu/">movim</a>, pero realmente funcionaría con casi cualquier cliente de XMPP, amenos que ese cliente implemente algo que no tiene mi server. Y también acomodé un server de <a href="https://matrix.org/">Matrix</a> que es muy similar pero es bajo otro protocolo y se siente más como un discord/slack (al menos en el <a href="https://element.io/">element</a>), muy chingón también.</p>
-<p>Si bien aún quedan cosas por hacer sobre estos dos servers que me acomodé (además de hacerles unas entradas para documentar cómo lo hice), quiero moverme a otra cosa que sería acomodar una sección de dibujos, lo cual en teoría es bien sencillo, pero como quiero poder automatizar la publicación de estos, quiero modificar un poco el <a href="https://github.com/luevano/pyssg">pyssg</a> para que jale chido para este pex.</p>

<p>Ya por último también quiero moverle un poco al CSS, porque lo dejé en un estado muy culerón y quiero meterle/ajustar unas cosas para que quede más limpio y medianamente bonito&hellip; <em>dentro de lo que cabe porque evidentemente me vale verga si se ve como una página del 2000</em>.</p>
+<p><strong>Actualización</strong>: Ya tumbé el servidor de XMPP porque consumía bastantes recursos y no lo usaba tanto, si en un futuro consigo un mejor servidor podría volver a hostearlo.</p>

<h1>Así es raza, el blog ya tiene timestamps</h1>
<p>Pues eso, esta entrada es sólo para tirar update sobre mi <a href="https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/first_blog_post.html">primer post</a>. Ya modifiqué el <code>ssg</code> lo suficiente como para que maneje los <em>timestamps</em>, y ya estoy más familiarizado con este script entonces ya lo podré extender más, pero por ahora las entradas ya tienen su fecha de creación (y modificación en dado caso) al final y en el índice ya están organizados por fecha, que por ahora está algo simple pero está sencillo de extender.</p>
<p>Ya lo único que queda es cambiar un poco el formato del blog (y de la página en general), porque en un momento de desesperación puse todo el texto en justificado y pues no se ve chido siempre, entonces queda corregir eso. <em>Y aunque me tomó más tiempo del que quisiera, así nomás quedó, diría un cierto personaje.</em></p>
-<p>El <code>ssg</code> modificado está en mis <a href="https://git.luevano.xyz/.dots">dotfiles</a> (o directamente <a href="https://git.luevano.xyz/.dots/tree/.local/bin/ssg">aquí</a>).</p>
-<p>Por último, también quité las extensiones <code>.html</code> de las URLs, porque se veía bien pitero, pero igual los links con <code>.html</code> al final redirigen a su link sin <code>.html</code>, así que no hay rollo alguno.</p>

<ul>
<li>(Optional, if you want a &ldquo;front-end&rdquo;) A <strong>CNAME</strong> for &ldquo;git&rdquo; and (optionally) &ldquo;www.git&rdquo;, or some other name for your sub-domains.</li>

<h1>I'm using a new blogging system</h1>
<p>So, I was tired of working with <code>ssg</code> (and then <code>sbg</code> which was a modified version of <code>ssg</code> that I &ldquo;wrote&rdquo;), for one general reason: not being able to extend it as I would like; and not just dumb little stuff, I wanted to be able to have more control, to add tags (which another tool that I found does: <code>blogit</code>), and even more in a future.</p>
<p>The solution? Write a new program &ldquo;from scratch&rdquo; in <em>pYtHoN</em>. Yes it is bloated, yes it is in its early stages, but it works just as I want it to work, and I&rsquo;m pretty happy so far with the results and have with even more ideas in mind to &ldquo;optimize&rdquo; and generally clean my wOrKfLoW to post new blog entries. I even thought of using it for posting into a &ldquo;feed&rdquo; like gallery for drawings or pictures in general.</p>
<p>I called it <a href="https://github.com/luevano/pyssg"><code>pyssg</code></a>, because it sounds nice and it wasn&rsquo;t taken in the PyPi. It is just a terminal program that reads either a configuration file or the options passed as flags when calling the program.</p>
<p>It still uses Markdown files because I find them very easy to work with. And instead of just having a &ldquo;header&rdquo; and a &ldquo;footer&rdquo; applied to each parsed entry, you will have templates (generated with the program) for each piece that I thought made sense (idea taken from <code>blogit</code>): the common header and footer, the common header and footer for each entry and, header, footer and list elements for articles and tags.

<h1>My setup for a password manager and MFA authenticator</h1>
<p><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: I won&rsquo;t go into many technical details here of how to install/configure/use the software, this is just supposed to be a short description on my setup.</p>
-<p>It&rsquo;s been a while since I started using a password manager at all, and I&rsquo;m happy that I started with <a href="https://keepassxc.org/">KeePassXC</a> (open source, multiplatform password manager that it&rsquo;s completely offline) as a direct recommendation from <a href="https://www.lmcj.xyz/">lm</a>; before this I was using the same password for everything (like a lot of people), which is a well know privacy issue as noted in detail by <a href="https://askleo.com/different-passwords-for-everything/">Leo</a> (I don&rsquo;t personally recommed LastPass as Leo does). Note that you will still need a <em>master password</em> to lock/unlock your password database (you can additionally use a hardware key and a key file).</p>
+<p>It&rsquo;s been a while since I started using a password manager at all, and I&rsquo;m happy that I started with <a href="https://keepassxc.org/">KeePassXC</a> (open source, multiplatform password manager that it&rsquo;s completely offline) as a direct recommendation from <a href="https://www.lmcj.xyz/"><mark>EL ELE EME</mark></a>; before this I was using the same password for everything (like a lot of people), which is a well know privacy issue as noted in detail by <a href="https://askleo.com/different-passwords-for-everything/">Leo</a> (I don&rsquo;t personally recommed LastPass as Leo does). Note that you will still need a <em>master password</em> to lock/unlock your password database (you can additionally use a hardware key and a key file).</p>
<p>Anyways, setting up <em>keepass</em> is pretty simple, as there is a client for almost any device; note that <em>keepass</em> is basically just the format and the base for all of the clients, as its common with pretty much any open source software. In my case I&rsquo;m using <a href="https://keepassxc.org/">KeePassXC</a> in my computer and <a href="https://www.keepassdx.com/">KeePassDX</a> in my phone (Android). The only concern is keeping everything in sync because <em>keepass</em> doesn&rsquo;t have any automatic method of synchronizing between devices because of security reasons (as far as I know), meaning that you have to manage that yourself.</p>
<p>Usually you can use something like G**gl* drive, dropbox, mega, nextcloud, or any other cloud solution that you like to sync your <em>keepass</em> database between devices; I personally prefer to use <a href="https://syncthing.net/">Syncthing</a> as it&rsquo;s open source, it&rsquo;s really easy to setup and has worked wonders for me since I started using it, also it keeps versions of your files that can serve as backups in any scenario where the database gets corrupted or something.</p>
<p>Finally, when I went through the issue with the micro SD and the <em>adoptable storage</em> bullshit (you can find the rant <a href="https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/devs_android_me_trozaron.html">here</a>, in spanish) I had to also migrate from <em>G**gl* authenticator</em> (<em>gauth</em>) to something else for the simple reason that <em>gauth</em> doesn&rsquo;t even let you do backups, nor it&rsquo;s synched with your account&hellip; nothing, it is just standalone and if you ever lose your phone you&rsquo;re fucked; so I decided to go with <a href="https://getaegis.app/">Aegis authenticator</a>, as it is open source, you have control over all your secret keys, you can do backups directly to the filesystem, you can secure your database with an extra password, etc., etc.. In general <em>aegis</em> is the superior MFA authenticator (at least compared with <em>gauth</em>) and everything that&rsquo;s compatible with <em>gauth</em> is compatible with <em>aegis</em> as the format is a standard (as a matter of fact, <em>keepass</em> also has this MFA feature which is called TOPT and is also compatible, but I prefer to have things separate). I also use <em>syncthing</em> to keep a backup of my <em>aegis</em> database.</p>

<h1>Rewrote pyssg again</h1>
- <p>I&rsquo;ve been wanting to change the way <a href="https://github.com/luevano/pyssg">pyssg</a> reads config files and generates <code>HTML</code> files so that it is more flexible and I don&rsquo;t need to have 2 separate build commands and configs (for <a href="https://blog.luevano.xyz">blog</a> and <a href="https://art.luevano.xyz">art</a>), and also to handle other types of &ldquo;sites&rdquo;; because <code>pyssg</code> was built with blogging in mind, so it was a bit limited to how it could be used. So I had to kind of <em>rewrite</em> <code>pyssg</code>, and with the latest version I can now generate the whole site and use the same templates for everything, quite neat for my use case.</p>

<p>Anyways, so I bought a new domain for all <code>pyssg</code> related stuff, mostly because I wanted somewhere to test live builds while developing, it is of course <a href="https://pyssg.xyz">pyssg.xyz</a>; as of now it is the same template, CSS and scripts that I use here, probably will change in the future. I&rsquo;ll be testing new features and anything <code>pyssg</code> related stuff.</p>
<p>I should start pointing all links to <code>pyssg</code> to the actual site instead of the github repository (or my <a href="https://git.luevano.xyz">git</a> repository), but I haven&rsquo;t decided how to handle everything.</p>

<p>Así es, tenía un poco descuidado este pex, siendo la razón principal que andaba ocupado con cosas de <em>la vida profesional</em>, ayay. Pero ya que ando un poco más despejado y menos estresado voy a seguir usando el blog y a ver qué más hago.</p>
-<p>Tengo unas entradas pendientes que quiero hacer del estilo de &ldquo;tutorial&rdquo; o &ldquo;how-to&rdquo;, pero me lo he estado debatiendo, porque Luke ya empezó a hacerlo más de verdad en <a href="https://landchad.net/">landchad.net</a>, lo cual recomiendo bastante pues igual yo empecé a hacer esto por él (y por <a href="https://lmcj.xyz/">lm</a>); aunque la verdad pues es muy específico a como él hace las cosas y quizá sí puede haber diferencias, pero ya veré en estos días. La próxima que quiero hacer es sobre el VPN, porque no lo he <em>setupeado</em> desde que reinicié El Página Web y La Servidor, entonces acomodaré el VPN de nuevo y de pasada tiro entrada de eso.</p>
-<p>También dejé un dibujo pendiente, que la neta lo dejé por 2 cosas: está bien cabrón (porque también lo quiero colorear) y porque estaba ocupado; de lo cuál ya sólo queda el <em>está bien cabrón</em> pero no he tenido el valor de retomarlo. Lo triste es que ya pasó el tiempo del hype y ya no tengo mucha motivación para terminarlo más que el hecho de que cuando lo termine empezaré a usar Clip Studio Paint en vez de Krita, porque compré una licencia ahora que estuvo en 50% de descuento (sí, me mamé).</p>

<p>PKI stands for <em>Public Key Infrastructure</em> and basically it&rsquo;s required for certificates, private keys and more. This is supposed to work between two servers and one client: a server in charge of creating, signing and verifying the certificates, a server with the OpenVPN service running and the client making the request.</p>
<p>This is supposed to work something like: 1) a client wants to use the VPN service, so it creates a requests and sends it to the signing server, 2) this server checks the requests and signs the request, returning the certificates to both the VPN service and the client and 3) the client can now connect to the VPN service using the signed certificate which the OpenVPN server knows about. In a nutshell, I&rsquo;m no expert.</p>
<p>&hellip; but, to be honest, all of this is a hassle and (in my case) I want something simple to use and manage. So I&rsquo;m gonna do all on one server and then just give away the configuration file for the clients, effectively generating files that anyone can run and will work, meaning that you need to be careful who you give this files (it also comes with a revoking mechanism, so no worries).</p>
