I really feel like going back to blogging, I was staying away from it since, I felt like I need to put something big and serious in here, but perfect is an enemy of good, so here we go. For the whole(?) year 2025, I was really into leetcode/codeforces/whatever other bullshit. But as the time passed I stopped caring about it. Here are couple reasons why. It's not fun Really, I felt like working…
This post is not (really) technical nor artistic, rather my personal musings/diary entry, so caution: shit nobody cares about ahead. 2025 was a year for me where a lot happened quite quickly. It's hard to believe it's already a new year, but I guess time flies faster with each year. For starters, I have started this very site (around June), it's fun to share stuff, even if just for friends, I…
So, for a while, I had technically had a gopher server running, but it was pretty empty. Only now have I worked a bit on my gopherhole; it's a pleasant protocol, I really do not have many complaints; it's human-readable and human-writable. why Why not?. But on a serious note, it is yet another place for me to upload even lower quality content, it's a sane and natural way to publish a stream of…
the issue Ever wanted to click in your terminal (whatever that word even means nowadays)? If you used plan 9 you are probably acustomed to this. Plumbing is one of those ideals from plan 9 which I just adore and it makes everything ten-folds easier. For those who do not know plumbing is a mechanism for sending messages between programs (that is if a .txt is passed to the plumber it opens it in the…
Note: No one mocked me for doing this. Do you like window padding? Fancy colors? Eyecandy? Yes?... Then you probably shouldn't use plan 9, but what do I care about, I am one of these people that likes fancy colors in their computer and drinks oat-milk lattes. Themes, colors n shit there isn't much to say for me that haven't already been done in this matter. You can run rio with the -b flag,…
Edited on jun 22, 2025. Background Back in the 1960s, the Polish People’s Republic developed a small (or rather, not so small by the standards of the time and place) 40-bit serial computer called the Odra 1003—named after the Polish river of the same name. Heavily "inspired" by machines made by ICL, it boasted a whopping baseline clock speed of 250 kHz and 40 KiB of memory. This wasn’t Poland’s…
As of late I was struggling a lot with making myself a decently sane git interface. I tried cgit and stagit, and neither really were my thing (not that they are bad software). So I decided to create a shell script that takes paths, and mushes it together with directory listing, a command to clone and readme of the repo. Is it good? No - it's trivial at best, shitty at worst, this 100% should've…
For starters, this is my first post relating to photography on the blog, so there is that, I don't have much experience in writing about "gear", sorry. TL;DR: Raspberry Pi camera module-esque images with some interesting options. Introduction I consider myself somewhat of an "experimental" photographer, granted my skills aren't the best, but I love trying new techniques, or just messing around…
introduction Well, I have not been posting much meaningful stuff recently on here, and this is mostly the reason. Over the last week or so, I have been working on a custom client for my school's electronic gradebook called "librus synergia" , and any student, parent, or school staff who worked with it will know that it's pretty much a hot pile of shit. The servers are slow, everything is behind a…
There is a lot of talk about tech illiteracy, whereas the simplicity of digital systems grows, the ability of its users shrinks. I mostly didn't care, not my circus, not my monkeys... well, until that became my circus and my monkeys. A short while back a neighbor came to me, around my age, and she asked me to print something, and since I'm not a (total) asshole I agreed, it's a reasonable request,…
