Hugo Content File Structure
I have been using the ananke theme since the inception of this blog. But recently I started to have all sorts of problems because of my lack of understading of how the contents folder is linked to the layouts folder and to the themes/ananke folder.
/contents So in the ananke theme you have the choice to have more than one language for your website. In my case I only need to use the english folder, which is in contents/en/ folder.

Creating my AI assistant locally
It surprised me how easy it was to build a local solution with Ollama.
Introduction This itch to have a private solution for AI came to me after I saw that OpenAI changed their settings on the playground section and does not allow for free users to test the models. With that I went to check Gemini but it was the same thing. Both of them are costing $20/month and for me it isn’t worth it at the moment.

What really made me think was watching their launch video yesterday.

Life update - November 2023
Life as a father My kid is already 7 months old. The time goes too fast. He already dragging himself on the floor and not crying so much anymore. Each day is a new day and now it is getting clearer that life goes on, like I don’t have to give up my hobbies and interests because he demands attention.
It is a totally different experience. I remember the day my wife said the test came out positive.

NixOS - Virtual Machine using QEMU
This is a quick guide for those that are having trouble installing NixOS and getting the No Internet Available error.
Since I’m using the GUI program Virtual Manager, I went into the VM’s configuration.
Select the VM and the Open button on the top bar. You could do this while the VM is running but the changes will only take effect the next time the VM boots up, so it is better to have the VM shutdown.

Introduction to my new space on the internet
The last months have been very exciting to me. The most exciting and difficult part by far is having my newborn son, whom is almost 3 months old. The other exciting part is that I finally understood that if I really like technology I should really invest in it.
Investing more in my formation in technology right now could come as odd for most people because I already have a Masters in chemistry and a specialization in intellectual property and also happen to work in the field that I have specialized in.
