Homelabbing isn't hard, it's just complicated
Now, right off the bat, what the hell do I mean by “not hard, just complicated”? By that I mean homelabbing is something really easy to set up and do, provided you already have a truckload of preexisting knowledge about networking, remote administration, and Docker. It’s ultimately plugging square pegs into square holes, finding out it doesn’t fit, searching “square…
Arch Linux Derivatives
Arch Linux has a reputation for being a “difficult” distribution. I’ve written previously about how that’s not really something that needs to change, smoother onboarding just isn’t a part of the Arch Linux project. The appeal of Arch is that it ships with basically no software. While the latest Ubuntu ISO is ~5.8 gigabytes, Arch’s September 2025 ISO is just ~1.4…
Reading
This page is for linking other sites/articles that I would recommend you read if your interests and mine overlap. Unreal Engine 6, Blueprint, and Verse, or: Capitalism’s Unmatched Innovative Potential for New and Exciting Hellscapes For anyone interested in programming language design, this offers a good vertical slice into Epic Games’ fancy new scripting language. Written informally,…
Hosting a Mastodon Server on Arch Linux
First off, let’s get one thing out of the way. You probably shouldn’t do this. There are already a ton of guides on how to host Mastodon on Debian-based distros. If you’re doing this on a fresh machine, go with Ubuntu 22.04 and use the official guide . Arch isn’t a great server operating system. Its whole deal is being lightweight and getting updates to the user as fast as…
Anubis: The Best Captcha That Isn't
If you’re online enough to be reading this, I’m sure you’re familiar with “Dead Internet Theory”. It’s mostly a cynical hypothesis that exists to cope about the lack of human connection on a platform specifically designed for it, but the sentiment behind it is more valid than you might think. The internet isn’t dead or dying, but a greater proportion of it…
Why ULTRAKILL's Story is Worth Paying Attention To
Alright, brace yourselves, hot take incoming: I really like ULTRAKILL. I know, right? Somebody had to say it. There’s not much to be said on the game itself that would justify the bandwidth it would take to deliver similarly scalding hot takes. But dropping the sarcasm for a moment, there is one community sentient I take issue with. Specifically the non-engagement with the less…
Search
Here you can search for indexable pages. This is the only piece of JavaScript on the entire site, so it has to be contained to its own page. Could you imagine? JS Bloat on every page? The mere possibility is chilling.
Metahorror
Note This post was written in 2024 after reading SCP-2614 and watching Mollystar’s DEVICE THEORY . I’ve decided not to edit it in order to preserve the original intent, as well as for the context of it being written before the release of chapters 3 and 4. This context is also important because this was never meant to be shared. It was first and foremost supposed to be a creative…
The Wonderful World of Dotfiles
I love it when names have a deeper meaning behind them, both linguistically and conceptually. Those etymology charts in online dictionaries always fascinated me, like little maps of interpretation. Conceptually, I have SCP-4000 to thank for my love of name-based magic. Oh, sorry I meant to say THAT ONE PLACE WITH THE FAIRIES IN A FOREST THAT CAN’T BE REFERRED TO WITH THE SAME NAME TWICE .
What even is a Web Framework anyway?
There’s a bit of filler text that I’ve seen used a lot in website templates. Don’t bother reading it, it’s all gibberish, but here’s a good snippet: Leverage agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high level overviews. Iterative approaches to corporate strategy foster collaborative thinking to further the overall value proposition. Organically grow the…
Fedora fortinet install guide
I recently had the displeasure of trying to get my laptop to connect to the college Wi-Fi after they tightened their restrictions on endpoint management. Long story short, I was forced to switch from Arch to Fedora, and I feel the need to document the experience so that nobody will ever have to go through what I did to avoid crawling back to Windows with my tail between my legs.
Rust Compiler
This rust program converted custom assembly instructions to usable machine code for a custom CPU in Logisim Evolution. The CPU design is also included, as well as a short overview of each component.
Linite Reloaded
This project was heavily based on jplsek’s website of the same name . I used the tool many times when distrohopping, but having not been updated in 10 years, it was in need of a tune-up. The most urgent change was updating the selection of packages. I experimented with automating scraping official repositories, but there were too many incongruities between the names of packages and the…

A frontend website for reading and submitting project ideas through a database Some info that users would be submitting to the database include: Who made the project request The requirements for said project Who is currently working on it Where the project currently is in development The location of the project’s git repository
The easy way to install Arch
If you’re just here for an install guide, hop down to the numbered list. If you’re interested in learning why you should install Linux, read on! Linux has a (well deserved) reputation for being intimidating for newcomers, and I don’t think that’s a problem that needs to be solved or even can be solved. The basic model for selling operating systems isn’t exchanging…
