+title: Status update, November 2021
+date: 2021-11-24
+
+It has been colder and colder, although I still go running two or three times
+a week!
+
+## Software development
+
+Recently, I have been dealing with a lot of half-baked projects:
+
+- Huge chunks of code that have been copied and pasted around in the codebase.
+  Fixing an issue is ten times longer.
+- Git histories full of merge commits or useless commit titles. Praise
+  to git-rebase flow!
+- Scattered docker configurations in nested directories.
+- Overengineered infrastructure with no active users [^1].

+## OpenBSD -current
+
+My OpenBSD workstation restarted without any bitmap fonts! I originally thought
+that something was broken with the *Terminus* font, but my *google-fu* lead me
+to the following xenocara update. It looks like it has been fixed upstream too.

+Moreover, my wifi card is not powered on anymore when waking up from suspend:
+
+1. *-current* (post 7.0) has some changes affecting *iwm* and *iwx* firmware.
+  However the intel card on the X220 uses *iwn* (Intel Wifi Link 1000).
+2. Actually I had to rescue the wifi slot because I torned some pins when
+  replacing the wifi card months ago. But everything works fine after a fresh
+  reboot.
