Lifting the veil: Just about a decade ago, we leased a property on a pristine and desolate beach. The house didn’t have robust walls – It just had a few curtains to protect us from the elements.

I’ve been sitting on the ledge for a while now and Whatsapp’s latest ultimatum is just what I needed to see myself out the doors.I value my freedom and privacy way more than the perceived convenience and I’ve deleted my Whatsapp account for good.#whatsapp https://srikanthperinkulam.com/b/2Rd

This is fascinating! A few #GPS devices apparently had a mild(?) path offset issue few days ago:

After a muted attempt last year, we were able to ring in 2021 with an early morning Surfing class at Covelong. The girls loved it and I couldn’t have asked for a better start. Exhilarating, to say the least. And oh, salt water does BURN your eyes! #surfing

I chanced on Calibre-Web last week and finally got around better organizing my book collection. I really like the way it’s turned out and if anything, this has been a silent nudge to read more and read frequently!

An absolute VeraCrypt fan after my recent harddisk failure: https://srikanthperinkulam.com/b/2PQ

Had one of my hard drives cave in today. Not quite sure what the cause was. Will probably write it off as one of those built to fail...That aside, I think it might have to do with me hard interrupting a veracrypt test container setup. 321 Backup was the savior!

One neat article on exposing your homelab to the wilderness.
