Этот пост также доступен на русском языке: Итоги 2025 . Last year, I wrote 2024 in review . There are many good things about that post. I reviewed it a few times throughout the year, curious about the changes in my mental state since then and about the goals I had set. It has also been fun to share it with my friends and acquaintances. And, most importantly, it presented a good opportunity for…
Recently, I considered writing a follow-up for My Time and Focus posts, titled «My Time and Focus. 2 years later». I thought I couldn’t finish writing it in one day, so I didn’t start. This post is what I am writing instead. It will touch on some of the topics I wanted to bring up, but won’t go into as much detail. This is a spontaneous decision, I am doing it instead…
At the end of May 2024, I went to my first EMF Camp , and I loved it. It had many interesting things to see and cool people to meet. I wouldn’t say I made new friends there, but I did get closer to members of Edinburgh Hacklab which I am also a member of. This post is not about EMF Camp though, it is about one of its highlights: the Tildagon badge. These badges are electronic devices that…
Overview In the previous post on the topic, I introcuded my new project: making a personalized mechanical keyboard from scratch. I described my criteria for the end result and showed you the components I intend to use. This post is focused on the design process of the project. The posts are sequential, but in reality they go hand-in-hand. The design influences which components can be used.…
Background I have been a mild fan of mechanical and ergonomic keyboards for a while now. I have used Ergodox EZ , Planck EZ 1 and OLKB Preonic . Additionally, my XKB configuration is somewhat interesting. OLKB Planck with «ergonomic» wristrests You see, Russian alphabet has 33 letters, while English only has 26. This means that on the default Russian layout more keys are used for…
I have done a major overhaul of the website. The primary focus was on styling. I was not satisfied with the original theme ( Cayman ) and wanted to change it. The problem was not in the look of the theme, but in how much tweaking I wanted to do, so it was easier to just make a new theme of my own. I have also changed the way the website is built. I used to have the website sources in a public…
Reintroduction In the previous part I have gone through some tools and approaches to self-organisation. The main focus was on note-taking, and now it is finally time to highlight some neat parts of it. I have already more-or-less described the criteria that I want the note-taking system to satisfy, and why I need it, so here I’m going to talk about its implementation details .
Introduction The purpose of this series of posts is to share some details of my journey of organizing myself. I think this might be interesting or even useful for somebody, but I am mostly writing this to stay motivated to continue (and as writing practice). I’ll start by explaining the problems I’m trying to solve and why they matter. Along the way, I might learn new things or find…
I have done some minor optimization of the website in order to improve its Lighthouse score and its performance. The score should be above 90% in every category (except PWA that I don’t target) at the moment of publishing this post. I only tested it on localhost, but as the most significant problem was caused by Google Fonts the website depends on, that part should be the same as in…
Pre-intro I start these series hoping to continue them along with the development of the project this devlog is related to. Not only the project is an excercise for me, but the devlog itself is as well. I think about making some games in the future, and how could I make a good game without having a devlog about it? Also, thanks to all the advice from different people who suggested some better…
Anybody here? I got this thought to make my website a very long time ago. A classic idea for a developer, right? However, I could never finish its creation. For a long time, I had some random pages dangling on my domain. I always wanted to put something interesting there, and as I never truly needed a website, I just played with different things abandoning them later. Only two attempts were…

Github repository: ftvkyo/obsidian-ftvkyo Work started: Jul 23, 2023 Code was migrated from «Inline plugins» I made earlier TypeScript (React), Electron, CSS (SASS) I have been using Obsidian for a while (since March 2021). Finding a good workflow, a good approach to work and study is important for me, and it is an interesting challenge. This project is the culmination of my efforts.
For now, the snippets are self-contained. That implies there may be duplicates of common functions between snippets. Even worse, the functions with the same names may work differently in different snippets. And there may be fewer comments than desired. You’ve been warned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Wavy donut Just why did I do this? A render of the wavy donut with 2 waves It is implemented using the…
