Weeknote 29, 2025


Hello world!

I took a little hiatus this week from working on Comet stuff to focus on a private project for a week, which I had actually started work on a few months back but shelved for a while due to other things. That’s finished now (at least for the moment while I wait for feedback) so I’m going to be back on Comet next week, hopefully finally finishing (or getting close to finishing) my work on the lexicon validation system in atex so I can start working on Comet proper!

I took the time to look at some self-hosted task management systems for my homelab. Until now, I’ve been loosely putting stuff down in my Obsidian vault using the Kanban plugin, but I don’t actively use Obsidian on a daily basis so those often are very out of mind, and I decided that I need a proper place to track things. (There’s also the problem that I can’t get notifications from Obsidian, whereas I can from another proper service.)

After some searching on the awesome-selfhosted list, I came across Vikunja which looks to be the best solution that matches what I look for and set it up—pretty easy for me since there was a NixOS package & module already available. So far with my light usage it’s been working good, and will use it more properly next week as I actually move all my tasks from Obsidian to Vikunja.

I found myself on The Cutting Roof Floor somehow (one of those internet dives, you know), and managed to get to the page for Zuma Deluxe which gave me pretty big dose of nostalgia. i ended up buying it and its sequel, and binging the hell out of it before bed. Lots of fun, do recommend if you’re into old 2000s casual PC games.
