Blog10: Let me watch my damn Netflix!

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 10:36:18 -0700

Situation

I moved, more than half a year ago. I am living not in the U.S. and this has come with some perks and some drawbacks. The newest pain in my back is streaming services. I want to sit down and enjoy my favorite shows that I payed for in my subscription, only to be greeted by “This show is not available in your region” why can’t I watch House MD! The whole reason why I got this stupid subscription is because I got tired of watching it on 123movies.

Blog 9: How to Subscribe to an RSS Feed

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 05:23:28 -0700

The Doom Club Has RSS!!!

I’m so exited to announce RSS, now I can annoy the crap out of everyone by sending a million pings to everyone who subscribes! Setting up the RSS was super easy thanks to HUGO, the static website builder I am using for this site.

What is RSS?

RSS is a simple tool to keep in touch with websites you like. It gives you a ping on a given website’s page, so you can stay in touch with blogs, news, etc. It generates a XML link for a page on a site that pings should usually come from. For example, the blog page has one but the individual blog does not.

Blog 8: There's comments now?

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 01:01:12 -0700

I had stayed up all night setting up comments for the website. It was a fun process, a little difficult I must say. The comments are powered by a free and open source tool called Cusdis. There’s many ways of implementing it for a website, a hard one and an easy one. Because I hate myself I opted for the hard, that meant self host. I won’t go in to details.

Blog 7: How to Brew Practically the Best Coffee

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 04:34:32 -0700

What is “The Best Coffee” ?

It is what I say it is. I’m only joking here. What I mean with practically the best coffee, I mean a pour over that can be made every day, including a busy morning when there is work or day when you’re tyred. An almost bullet proof way to brew a lovely cup of coffee, right on the cliff of the graph of diminishing reruns against effort. It goes without saying but, this depends gravely on your setup. If you have all the money in the world, you could just have a nice machine that makes it for you. For me, I think I really have found the perfect balance of fun, cost, versatility and taste.

Blog 5: How the Mexican government payed for my coffee grinder

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 04:40:24 -0700

One day I became a coffee addict

Suddenly at a very young age, I developed an affinity for very high quality coffee. Specialty coffee at the time was still budding back in Mexico where I used to live. It was starting metastasize in the U.S. This was back in 2018. For no particular reason coffee was my thing, other kids liked normal stuff, to this day I don’t know why I got in to it, it was a good thing ultimately.

Blog 4: Searching for the perfect Breakfast

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 01:06:23 -0700

The secret to success

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you’re not getting everything from life? That maybe if you had done this, or not done that, you would be successful, happy, content. The root of this negative emotions stem from a negative morning experience everyday. To be more exact, a bad breakfast. The start of your day will dictate how you will behave the rest of your day.

Blog 2: Big Steps

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 08:12:22 -0700

Development

I have spend the better part of two days slowly building up this website using HUGO. At the start I really wanted to make use of some simple theme, however they all suck. That’s why I started on the work of making my very own, somewhat garbage template. I am not proud to admit that I have made extensive use of AI to wrap my brain around how to sue HUGO. That being said the website was put together by me.

Autobiography: Kruel

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 03:36:43 -0700

Kruel is the embodiment of Doom

My name is not Kruel. I feel that I thrive in cringe there fore I must protect my identity by employing the powerful concept known as a pseudonym. Because this website will reach far and wide across the world to millions of people. I am certain of the fact that the traffic will be completely comprised of real humans and it won’t totally be 99% web spiders and people who know me. Absolutely not, and if you know me in person, no you don’t because Kruel is not real.

Blog 1: We must start at the beginning

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 04:55:20 -0700

Are you the first person to come across this blog?

Lately I have met again with an old love of mine. I have been completely captured after coming back from a multiple year hiatus. This reunion was complicated. At first it took me a lot of work to get back to my old habits, now I can say, and I am quite proud of this, that I have gone back to my old habits, becoming even better at it than I was before.
