About Me§

Hello there, I am Soc Virnyl Estela, also known by the tech community as uncomfy or uncomfyhalomacro. I've been a self-taught developer since 2019. It started with a very slow laptop that I needed to finish my thesis. So my solution to that was to install Debian Linux and everything changed. I finished my undergraduate in Biology (Major in Microbiology) in 2022 and worked as a college instructor until 2024. During those years, I self-learned and contributed to the openSUSE Community as a packager and open-source developer.

Luckily, I was able to shift my career to tech as a technical writer since 2024 until 2025. I then worked as an early career software developer for 4 months where I built projects in Rust, Golang and Python.

If you want to know more about my experiences and skills, you can checkout the following links:

tar: a slop-free alternative to rsync

So apparently rsync is slop now. When I heard, I wanted to drop a quick note on my blog to give an alternative: tar. It doesn’t do everything that rsync does, in particular identifying and skipping up-to-date files, but tar + ssh can definitely accomodate …

Bucklog’s Machine: Inside a Kubernetes Scanning Fleet

Most scanning infrastructure is boring. A VPS, a cron job, maybe a cheap proxy rotation service if the operator has ambitions. What we’re looking at with AS211590 (Bucklog SARL / FBW Networks SAS) is something else entirely – a purpose-built, Kubernetes-or…

Investigating the SuperNote Notebook Format

I'm a big fan of eink tablets. I read a lot, I write a lot, I prefer handwritten notes, it's a match made in heaven. I've been using a Kindle Scribe for the past several years - I probably used it as much or more than my phone. Recently, I upgraded to a Su…
