Update for the 16th of July 2025
Hola! Happy Hacking to all hackers, DIY, Creators and tinkers out there.
So summer is here and with it comes the yearly updates! Let me start with the personal side of things:
- **Alicante and Las Hogueras de San Juan**: Yes I went again this year to visit my home town for the holidays/party, but this year was different, not as fun as other years, my friends are getting old and tired, is logical they been living there all their lives so they get tired of the same party/holidays over and over, I am myself getting also a bit tired of them, but not as much, since I was out 20 years in the US living then so when I came back 5 years ago I got it with the same energy as when we were kids... so it was fun this year just not as much as other times.
- One of my friends is pissed off at me for some reason nobody knows, which makes things weird when we all hang out.
- Another of my best friends is sick with cancer :( which puts everything in perspective.
- The rest that are single with no ties are just tired of the whole thing...
- I went with a new friend that comes to the 2600 meetings called 6r3mr3ap3r, he is a kid still, I think he had fun it was new to him, so that was nice to see someone experience it with fresh eyes!
Now for the technical/hacking side:
- **2600 Madrid meetings**: Were better than expected! The June one was good with a nice turnout, and July I was expecting to show up alone but a hacker from the UK showed up and also another person, so we had a good time talking about projects and hacking.
- **Usenet_Reborn**: Fixed some bugs on our usenet client I wrote in rust, nothing major but small things that were annoying users, is getting more stable with each release!
- **New Project - Stoat-interceptor**: Started a new project in rust! Stoat-interceptor which is like burp/zap/mitmproxy but for hackers and pentesters, simple, TUI based, no fuss, not bloated. Is working already but needs a lot more to do before I can release it. The idea is to have something that just works without all the bloat of the commercial tools.

Summer/Winter weekend activies rol call ( intellectual activities )!
- **Looking for Madrid Players**: I'm actively looking for people in Madrid to play tabletop RPGs (especially Cyberpunk Red) and card games like Netrunner. As a hacker and someone who enjoys intellectual challenges, I prefer "thinking" activities like chess, RPGs, TTRPGs, and strategy card games over the typical weekend pub/dance scene. While I enjoy going out occasionally, I don't want it to be my only option. I'm looking for Saturday evening activities that get me away from the computer screen but still engage my mind. Physical sports without purpose are for people with no brain - I'm the opposite and prefer activities that challenge my intellect.

Anyway that is it for now, keep hacking, keep creating, keep tinkering!
