Reflecting on 2023
Wanted to write a small post on some things I accomplished in 2023:
- Started working on a new Darn Fish IP: Pickup, hopefully releasing in 2024
- Register for early access at https://beta.pickupapp.io
- Met my personal finance goals
- Surpassed my net worth goal
- Learnt more about trading, built out my portfolio
- Sold items I didn’t need anymore
- Built Darn Cloud, my personal home server
- Started learning Ansible, which is used to set up and provision Darn Cloud from scratch
- Learnt more Ubuntu / Linux, Docker (mainly Compose)
- Finally built a new computer for the first time since 2017
- Post about this hopefully coming soon!
- Moved the majority of my online services (Wash Your Lyrics, this blog, etc) to it
- Dived into the world of self hosting and data sovereignty
- Fleshed out my own home network
- Built a network rack for the first time (100% UniFi)

- Learned more about how computers actually talk
- Built a network rack for the first time (100% UniFi)
