$ whoami — urska

About

I'm Urška. I started in the 2000s with the side panel off: building PCs, taking them apart and putting them back together until I knew what every part was for. Python came next, first small scripts, then ones that did my chores for me.

Later came sysadmin work, then Docker and Kubernetes, and that's where I stayed. Infrastructure and automation are my real passion: the machinery that hums at 3 a.m. while everyone sleeps, and that nobody notices unless it breaks. I like building it so it keeps running when I'm not looking, and so the next person can read how it works.

Art was always there too. It's how I ended up in print: editorial design, infographics, and layout for books and comics. That chapter shaped the way I work more than any other, and I keep it close. I still take on print, because a page and a server ask for the same things: patience, precision, and someone willing to take their time.

somniabunt is Latin for "they will dream". The machines take the night shift, so people get their time back for making things.

SOMNIABUNT(1)Latin verbs, future tenseSOMNIABUNT(1)

som·ni·ā·bunt

/som.ni.ˈaː.bunt/ · verb · Latin

MEANING

they will dream. Older and more solemn: they shall dream.

ANATOMY

somniā- the stem of somniō, somniāre, “to dream”
-bunt first-conjugation ending for “they will …”
Third person, plural, future, indicative, active. The bar over the ā only marks a long vowel; most Latin is written without it.

IN USE

Roman writers used somniō for plain, ordinary dreaming in sleep. Lewis & Short collect examples from Cicero, Plautus and Terence. Somniabunt is simply that verb pushed into the future: the dreaming that hasn’t happened yet.
