Dayseeker is an American post-hardcore band from Orange County, California, known for their emotionally charged music and introspective lyrics. Since their formation in 2012, the band has carved out a space in the alternative music scene by blending elements of metalcore, alternative rock, and ambient pop. Their sound is distinguished by soaring melodies, heartfelt vocal performances, and dynamic instrumentation that ranges from heavy breakdowns to ethereal soundscapes.

Fronted by Rory Rodriguez, whose hauntingly soulful vocals are a centerpiece of their music, Dayseeker’s lyrics often delve into deeply personal and relatable themes. These include mental health struggles, loss, addiction, love, and existential questioning. Their songs resonate with listeners because of their authenticity, as they frequently draw from real-life experiences. For example, “Sleeptalk” (2019), one of their most acclaimed albums, explores themes like heartbreak and family turmoil with raw vulnerability.

Work hard, not smart.. wait what?

I’m not exactly known for working smart, but I do work hard. I often take the longer route, and that’s usually how I learn. I tend to do things the “hard way” roughly 45,000 times before I can figure out the shortcuts that make the process easier for me.

For those curious about how I deploy a website with new posts, here’s my workflow:

I write the content in Obsidian, complete with pictures and all the formatting.
Then, I copy the content from Obsidian into the /posts/ folder in Hugo.
Next, I use Hugo to compile a new version of the website with the updated posts.
Finally, I use rsync to upload everything to my hosting provider.

Initially, I was uploading files manually through FTP, but that process was too slow and incredibly frustrating. Switching to rsync saved me a lot of time and headaches! :D

In today’s digital world, there are countless platforms where you can share your thoughts and ideas. Social media networks like Instagram and Threads are great for quick interactions and capturing fleeting moments, but I’ve always felt they aren’t the best space for sharing deeper insights and things I’ve learned. That’s why I decided to take a different route: I chose Hugo, a static site generator, to create my own personal blog.
