javalin the lightweight java framework
I'd like to introduce you all to Javalin. Java is known for being heavy and bloated, verbose, often flagged as bad choice for cold-start functions, or simple MVPs or POCs. Often because it's slow, or memory-heavy consumer, which I could agree with, on some situations.
This is specially interestring if you're coming from languages such as Go or Typescript and is already familiar with express.js or chi from Golang. The learning curve for a full Java backend app will be pretty smoth.
minimal initramfs script
After several years having Debian as my main Linux distro, I've decided to go back to Gentoo, the distro who caught my attention since day one. However, my root partition is encrypted. While Debian has an out-of-the-box solution that makes everyone's life easier and almost transparent, Gentoo goes the opposite way. You have to connect the dots and make it work yourself. I had to stop, plan for a moment, and get ready.
In this short post, I'll be sharing the steps I took, the shell scripts, and how I wired up a minimal init script, that I called initramfs, although it's not quite that, this is much smaller and single purposed, decrypt my root partition.

hello world
Welcome to the very first post. Long time ago (2011-2013) I use to write to a personal blog like this, then life got busy, and all faded away. I must say I tried writing here and there some of my technical discoveries and helping content, but never actually found a nice place where personal thoughts fit nicely along with tech findings.
