"content":"Hi!\n\nRecently my phone broke, and during the time when I had no phone I felt a lot better without a phone.\nWell, due to how I felt nice without a phone, I decided to go with a pretty dumb phone, and I stumbled\nupon Xiaomi Redmi GO (Codename: Tiare).\n\nSo, I decided to install a custom ROM on it since the default one sucks a lot.\n\nIn this blog post we will cover the following topics:\n\n1. Unlocking the bootloader\n2. Prerequisites\n3. Installing PixelExperience recovery for Tiare\n4. Installing an unofficial build of LineageOS 18.1 for Tiare\n5. Rooting the phone using Magisk\n6. Installing a Magisk Swap mod for LineageOS\n7. Recommendations\n\nThat aside, let's begin!\n\n## Legal disclaimer\n\nBy following this guide, you accept that any work you do based on provided guidance is done so entirely at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages, data loss, corruption, or malfunctions (including \"bricking\") that may occur while working in low-level with your device. It is your full responsibility to understand what commands you are running and installing on your device. Please try to have appropriate backups and precautions before undertaking the process.\n\nIf you find yourself in a terrible situation, you can always flash the default ROM again: <https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/redmi-go-tiare-stable-V10.2.25.0.OCLMIXM/#global-fastboot> (just run `flash_all.sh` or `flash_all.bat` when your phone is in Fastboot mode and connected to your computer)\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore doing anything you have to have the following;\n\n1. Install ADB and Fastboot utilities on your device. This depends on your operating system, here's guides for the most popular OSes:\n - Linux: <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Android_Debug_Bridge> (just use your package manager)\n - Windows: <https://doc.e.foundation/pages/install-adb-windows>\n - MacOS: <https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-set-up-adb-and-fastboot-on-a-mac-easily-with-screenshots.1917237/>\n2. Enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking:\n 1. Go into your settings app.\n 2. Go to \"About phone\".\n 3. Click on \"Build number\" multiple times until you see that developer tools were enabled. About 5-7 times.\n 4. Go back to the main settings menu.\n 5. Go to \"System\".\n 6. Click \"Developer options\".\n 7. Find \"USB Debugging\" and enable it.\n 7. Find \"OEM Unlocking\" and enable it.\n3. Download required files:\n 1. PixelExperience recovery: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/techyminati/files/tiare/PixelExperience-Recovery-tiare-0401.img/download> (Archived at <https://git.ari.lt/mirror/techyminati-PixelExperience-Recovery-tiare-0401.img>)\n - SHA256: `ee255c807284dd0a81da283451c10732010ea6065fed350f1ba716a8f3ff3c47` as of 2024-12-14\n 2. LineageOS ROM: <https://github.com/techyminati/releases/releases/tag/1.0.3-tiare> (I have it personally archived it also, ask me if you need it, contacts visible on <https://ari.lt/>)\n - SHA256: `9282efe0141a8bde67f6d61b5c8df0791ec38b2677da0b97360a17ca0264a5d1` as of 2024-12-14\n 3. Magisk APK: Download the latest from <https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases>\n4. Connect your phone to a data-capable MicroUSB cable to your computer.\n5. Charge your phone to at least 50%.\n\n## Unlocking the bootloader\n\nTo unlock the bootloader you should do the following:\n\n1. Understand that unlocking the bootloader will erase all your data.\n2. Ensure a MicroUSB connection between your phone and your computer.\n3. Fastboot your phone. This is done by holding the power and volume down buttons at the same time. After it reboots, it will boot into a fastboot menu.\n4. Run command: `fastboot oem unlock-go`. This will unlock the bootloader.\n5. Wait like 30 seconds. If it does not reboot on its own run `fastboot reboot`.\n6. After your phone boots into the logo screen, it should say \"Unlocked\"atthebottomofyourscreen:)\n5.Yourphoneshouldnowbebootedintoafreshsystem.Quicklysetitup.\n6.EnableUSBdebuggingasdescribedabove.\n\n##InstallingPixelExperie
"description":"In this post, I delve into the current global political climate, exploring the rise of extreme ideologies and their impact on democracy and human rights, since the United States presidential elections and recent European politics have ticked me off. I discuss the potential dangers of populist and nationalist movements, such as the dawn of Nemunas (Nemuno ausra) and Project 2025, as well as drawing on historical lessons and sociopolitical research, I emphasize the significance of informed decision-making and the crucial role individuals play in standing against extremism and promoting empathy and understanding. Ultimately, I warn of the risk of a behavioural sink, reflecting on the societal decay that could result from ignoring the lessons of history and forsaking our responsibility to protect human dignity and global cooperation.

"content":"Welcome back everyone.\n\nFirstly, I would like to begin with an apology. I'm generally a pretty busy person with an organised schedule and I don't really have the time or energy usually to write here since it requires time and thought to express my ideas publicly, although, this doesn't mean I have abandoned this blog fully, I still like to archive my thoughts and all that over time.\n\nToday I had a neuron activation moment after the United States of America (abbr. U.S.A., USA, US) presidential elections where Trump kind of, uh, won, well, is winning I guess since it's on going although even now it's 226:292 Kamala v. Trump[^1]. This upsets me, and made me think about other politics as well as social side of everyone. In this blog post, I will try to explore some of political events as well as current ongoing social and democratic issues from my perspective trying to avoid extreme language and trying to stay calm. Later on, I will tie this back to the concept of a [behavioural sink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_sink).\n\nThough, before I start, for legal purposes, consider this:\n\n## Legal disclaimer\n\nThe thoughts and opinions you\u2019re about to read are all mine - just me sharing my perspective. They don\u2019t represent any official stance or organization. While I strive to share accurate information, remember that this is just my take on things. So, if you find yourself agreeing with me or shaking your head in disagreement, that's okay! Just know that any reliance on what I say is at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any consequences that come from reading this post. Everything claimed here is **alleged** and **may not be accurate** even though I tried my best to keep it accurate, I am not a politician or anything of sort, so I may get some things wrong or use a bad source or misinterpret the source or something of sort. Don't treat this post as advice but rather as a criticism excessing my right to free speech.\n\nFeel free to correct me by sending me an email or any other sort of notification listed on this page or <https://ari.lt/> if you notice inaccuracies or have questions.\n\nNow, let\u2019s dive in! :)\n\n## Part one: The United States of America presidential elections\n\nLet's begin with the can of worms which even got me into this - the US elections. About the whole day I've been following the presidential elections hoping Kamala Harris would win, since Donald Trump has pretty, err, weird goals, mainly relating to project 2025[^2]. Albeit they do claim that this is not a plan by Trump, but rather the Heritage foundation[^3] it is still a conservative and right-wing set of policies which aim to reform the USA under the condition that Donald Trump will win the 2024 presidential election.\n\nSadly, Trump is clearly going into the win since at the time of writing this 53/56 states have fully reported and the ratio between Trump's and Kamala's results is clearly in the republican favour. This is very scary to me, even to a person who is Living in Lithuania.\n\nFor context, Lithuania is a fairly right-leaning country which means, being a part of the European Union, actions made in the US by republican politicians, will most likely be copied over by the Lithuanian government as well. This always happens from my personal experience - one thing happens in the US lead by republicans, and the whole of EU seems to copy that action, at least partially.\n\nAs an example, we can take Rimigijus' \u017demaitaitis views on supporting Ukraine. Pol. Remigijus is known for being a right-wing politician in Lithuania known for this antisemitic comments[^5], and he, more specifically his new party \"The dawn of Nemunas\" (Lithuanian: \"Nemuno au\u0161ra\"),endorsesthepositionofUSRepublicanpresidentialcandidateDonaldTrump,advocatingthatassistancetoUkraineshouldbestructuredasloansratherthangrants[^6].\n\nThisposition,inmyopinioniscruelandveryunfair,becauseitshiftstheburdenofsupportinganationundersiegeontotheverypeoplewhoaresufferingfromthe

"description":"Unlock the full potential of your HostHatch VPS with my friendly and easy-to-follow guide! In this blog post, I'll take you step-by-step through optimizing your NVMe and Storage VPS setups using some cool techniques like NFSv4.2, Cachefilesd, zRAM, and IPTables. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned professional, you'll discover how to manage your resources more efficiently, boost performance, and keep your server environment secure. I'll also cover everything from configuring reverse DNS to setting up swap space and implementing private networking. This guide is perfect for anyone eager to maximize their VPS capabilities and make the most out of their hosting experience!",
"content":"Hi!\n\nRecently I've migrated to [HostHatch](https://hosthatch.com/)\nas my hosting provider, and while switching (even before, actually)\nI noticed that my target plan (NVME 16 GB) had only 75 GB of NVMe storage. This is why I also bought\nStorage VPS 1 TB on the side for $5 which has an HDD so it is not as expensive.\n\nThis blog post is meant to serve as a guide to how to get the most out of your HostHatch VPS\nby using NFSv4.2 (or whatever the latest is at the time you're reading this), Cachefilesd,\nzRAM, swap, and IPTables (as well as IPSet and Fail2ban), as well as trying to follow common security practices which should be\n\"good enough\"foranyaverageperson.\n\nThisguide,ofcourse,maybeappliedtootherhostingproviders,butnoteverythingmightbeapplicable\noraseasyasdescribedhereonotherhostingproviders.Themorechangesyoumakeonyourend,themore\nchangesyouwillneedtomakeusingthisguide.\n\nAlso,ifyou'rethinkingaboutswitchingtoHostHatch,considerusingmyaffiliatelinkat<https://cloud.hosthatch.com/a/4328>.\nIt gives me a small commission on your first order at no cost to you :) No obligation though.\n\n## Disclaimer\n\nWhile I strive to provide accurate and helpful information in this guide, please note that any actions you take based on\nthe content provided are at your own risk. I am not liable for any damages, data loss, or other issues that may arise from\nfollowing the instructions outlined in this post. Always ensure you have proper backups and consult with a professional\nif you're unsure about any steps. Happy optimizing!\n\n## Knowledge\n\nThis guide assumes you have experience in system administration and understand what you are doing. Common issues\nwhile following this guide could be:\n\n- Compatibility issues due to a choice of a different Linux distribution. You should be proficient in the OS you choose to be able to debug these problems.\n- Network configuration issues such as mistakes in the Netplan configuration. Make sure to read everything carefully and consult other online resources if you are confused.\n- Firewall configuration (iptables) could get messed up with one command. Be careful and make sure to utilise the recovery console if something goes completely haywire.\n- Backups could be a problem if you mess something up majorly as a root user. Back your stuff up - full backups.\n- SSH configuration might be confusing for you, make sure to understand what you are doing. The recommended one is strongly based off [Mozilla standards for SSH](https://infosec.mozilla.org/guidelines/openssh).\n- Dependency management and problems, so make sure you understand your dependency problems, there might've been a mistake and I left out some dependency. Debug your problems and if you feel like it report it to me so I could fix it :)\n- General troubleshooting as system administration is a complex task and you might run into unexpected problems. This guide might serve as a helpful resource during your quest, but it does not constitute a whole experience of being a systems administrator.\n\nPlease be careful, and make sure you understand what you are doing. Online resources can help you a lot, but please don't put your bets on AI and LLMs like ChatGPT right away. They\ntend to respond with error-prone commands and code, so you might not want to play with such fire while doing complex tasks like this where sensitive data might be involved.\nDon't force yourself into a situation where you have use that backup you (hopefully) made!\n\n## Hardware\n\n- Processing VPS: NVMe 16 GB\n - 4 AMD EPYC cores (2 dedicated, 2 fair-shared)\n - 16 GB of DDR4 RAM\n - 75 GB of NVMe storage\n - 4 TB of network bandwidth\n - Location: Stockholm, Sweden.

This guide will help you to understand the OPENPGPKEY record. Join me in making the internet and email a more secure place!",
"content":"OPENPGPKEY are a nice feature of modern DNS for email encryption and authentication. Let's see what talk there is about it!\n\n**Correction**: I have reinterpreted the RFC, and I figured out my original interpretation of it was wrong (I interpreted \"octets\" as hex digest octets, rather than binary hex hash digest octets on accident). I have done this in a short period (around an hour) and I have republished the corrected version.\n\n## OPENPGPKEY DNS record\n\nI just found out about OPENPGPKEY records in modern DNS while exploring the [deSEC homepage](https://desec.io/).\nI logged into my deSEC account and there it was - OPENPGPKEY DNS record type.\n\nWell, I wondered - what is it, and how can I set it up.\n\nWhich led me to multiple articles and generators, which then led me to the RFC document at <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7929.txt>.\n\nI began hand-crafting my own OPENPGPKEY record generator based off the RFC.\n\n## OPENPGPKEY record generator\n\nI read the intro of the aforementioned RFC until I found this:\n\n> 3. Location of the OPENPGPKEY Record\n>\n> The DNS does not allow the use of all characters that are supported\n> in the \"local-part\" of email addresses as defined in [RFC5322] and\n> [RFC6530]. Therefore, email addresses are mapped into DNS using the\n> following method:\n>\n> 1. The \"left-hand side\" of the email address, called the \"local-\n> part\" in both the mail message format definition [RFC5322] and in\n> the specification for internationalized email [RFC6530]) is\n> encoded in UTF-8 (or its subset ASCII). If the local-part is\n> written in another charset, it MUST be converted to UTF-8.\n>\n> 2. The local-part is first canonicalized using the following rules.\n> If the local-part is unquoted, any comments and/or folding\n> whitespace (CFWS) around dots (\".\") is removed. Any enclosing\n> double quotes are removed. Any literal quoting is removed.\n>\n> 3. If the local-part contains any non-ASCII characters, it SHOULD be\n> normalized using the Unicode Normalization Form C from\n> [Unicode90]. Recommended normalization rules can be found in\n> Section 10.1 of [RFC6530].\n>\n> 4. The local-part is hashed using the SHA2-256 [RFC5754] algorithm,\n> with the hash truncated to 28 octets and represented in its\n> hexadecimal representation, to become the left-most label in the\n> prepared domain name.\n>\n> 5. The string \"_openpgpkey\" becomes the second left-most label in\n> the prepared domain name.\n>\n> 6.

I will do my best to clarify which bits where from online experiences\nand I'll try to link the source where it is feasible to.\n\nThat aside, let's begin!\n\n(Note: Before setting up a VPS at least read the <#:Tips> section of this post!)\n\n**Edit 2024-08-01**: In 10 days, I am switching to [HostHatch](https://hosthatch.com/) - I cannot with Contabo for another month, personally. I will no longer be making any major changes to this blog post unless needed so this may be out of date by the time you're reading this.\n\n**Edit 2024-08-22**: About 10 days after leaving Contabo, I got a [50 euro coupon: NVYT8PHP](https://ak.ari.lt/notice/AlDiFWfkYTWy5agmKO) valid for a week. Feel free to take that Contabo discount because I'm not going to be the one taking it. Speaking of money, they said I should be refunded in around a week after leaving Contabo:\n\n> We have successfully marked the server for cancellation and no further action is needed. Your remaining positive account balance should be refunded to you automatically after that cancellation process. Kindly note that it may take up to 7 days to be refunded.\n\nYeah, honestly, I don't think I'm getting this refund. At least I got a coupon I could share with everyone. While the refund seems to either be late, or I'm not getting it - who knows honestly lol.\n\n## Support\n\nMy experience with Contabo's support was always slow, they take their time to respond. Though generally, Contabo does not seem to rush and takes its time.\nAlbeit slow, their team is understanding and helpful as well as respecting boundaries you might have while talking to support.\nI've reached out to them quite a few times as I've had many questions about their service and of course - had problems with it.\nHere's a few tickets I've opened in the past and what happened:\n\n- Pricing questions: being new and used to Linode's pricing model, I was confused about some parts of how Contabo handles it all. Turns out they're pretty sane and barebones - they don't really keep anything behind any paywalls, you pay monthly, and if you don't pay they suspend your VPS and give you a week to pay up, and if you don't - they delete it. Contabo support handled these questions in a pretty detailed manner and it's been fine.\n- Billing balance questions: With Contabo expect things to move slow, including billing. Once you top up your balance, it'll take some time for it to show up in your account, so don't be worried. Of cou

"content":"i've realised i have never shared my pancake recipe on here and as i'm making pancakes today - \"why not share it ?\" i thought to myself, so here's a really basic vegan pancake recipe that's never failed me :\n\n- 1 cup flour\n- 1 tablespoon sugar\n- 1 tablespoon baking powder\n- 1/4 teaspoon salt\n- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil or any other neutral oil ( + more for cooking )\n- 3/4 cup water\n- 1/4 cup oat milk or soy milk\n\nnow, combine your batter :\n\n- add in all your dry ingredients ( sift in your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt )\n- add in wet ingredients ( oil, water, oat / soy milk )\n- mix until no more dry ingredients are seen - the batter may have chunks, that's fine, let the batter sit while your pan heats\n\nand then cook it\n\n- put your pan on medium to medium high heat\n- pour some oil into a pan\n- wait until everything's around the same temperature\n- pour in some batter for each pancake ( around 1.5 heap tablespoon for each pancake )\n- let it cook until the edges are set and / or you see bubbles on the surface or the surface is pretty set up\n- flip it and wait til the other side is golden\n\nafter they're done cooking place them into a plate and cover it so the moisture is reserved and they don't become dry, let them sit for around 10 minutes\n\nenjoy, serve with fruit or berry jam\n\nif you're watching your calories don't make this - it's a very caloric and sugary desert\n\nsuggestion : add some blueberries or other berries into the batter :)",

This means that the ad is being added directly into the video stream.\n>\n> This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times.\n>\n> For now, I set up the server to detect when someone is submitting from a browser with this happening and rejecting the submission to prevent the database from getting filled with incorrect submissions.\n\n**Legal disclaimer:** I'm no legal or economics expert. I'm a random teen with an opinion which you can agree or disagree with - it's my two cents on a (in my opinion) shitty situation \ud83d\udc4d. All of this is alleged and just me sharing my own perspective on things.\n\nI have some things to say about this idiotic stunt of forcing advertisements down users' throats, because\nYouTube is a stupid big tech product created and ran by a terrible company, Google, which has been scolded\nnumerous times for its way of handling freedom, privacy, monopoly-like status, exploitation of creators, etc.\n\nThis situation is probably the last straw for me - the *only* reason why I even have a google account at this point\nis because I use YouTube to watch various creators, listen to music along with making use of the YouTube's\nrecommendation algorithm to help me discover new content. Now, as my rights to opting out of ads are being revoked, I have\nabsolutely no reason to stay on this piece of shit platform and continue being a milking cow for a shitty\ncooperation - self-hosting on my server is fine.\n\nMoreover, the mentioned approach to ads on YouTube's end has various flaws which will most likely worsen the overall experience\nof YouTube users, make some of them leave for good (such as I) on top of having a negative effect on the platform as well\nas the content creators who do YouTube as a job in the long-term.\n\nBut will YouTube listen? No. They never have - always avoiding all conflict and turning a blind eye to any controversy,\nbig or small on the condition that they can walk the thin edge of legality to optimize their profit and ignoring what the users,\ncreators, general community, etc. - consequently having people give up and forget. All of this sounds like a big monopoly\nscandal and it's wild how something like Google is legal in the first place.\n\n## Arguments\n\nThe aforementioned situation has many downsides and *maybe* one upside, and that's only for Google - revenue. But it's all short-term\nand it'll fade, hopefully.\n\nLet's take the argument that this approach \"ensures revenue for both YouTube and its creators\".Personally,Ithinkthatinthe\nshort-termthisargumentdoesmakesense,although,inthelongterm,whilstalsoconsideringhowaggressiveYouTubeadvertisement\ntacticsareaswellastakingtheuserexperienceintoaccount-isthat*truly*thelong-termsolution?It'strulynot,andif\nanythingit'llhurtexperiencesofusersandmakethemleaveYouTube,ordevelopmoreaggressivetacticstoadvertisementblocking.\nOnesuchblockingtacticthatcomestomind,whichmightnotbereliable,istodetectaggressivechangesinvideostreamsand\nskipthewholead,orwatchtheconnectionsandconnectiontimings.Bothconsequentlycausingharmtobothcreatorswhodo\nYouTubeasalong-termjobandYouTubethemselvestryingtorescuetheplatform'tiliteventuallyendsupon<https://killedbygoogle.com/>\nand gets forgotten in the Google graveyard.\n\nAdditionally, it raises an eyebrow to me as a person who values privacy and freedom, because YouTube is subtracting from user autonomy\nby taking away the control they had over their viewing experience. This lack of transparency and control can lead to frustration and\ndissatisfaction because the users are forced to consume content in a manner dictated purely by the platform, without any room for\npersonalization or choice.\n\nAnd that's not all!

Hopelessly unquenchable social validation thirst\n2. Never-ending stream of information\n3. Hopeless hard work\n4. Forever running away from reality\n5. Emotional crisis\n6. Outside world crisis\n\nThese layers each get progressively worse and come with harder and more torturous punishments. This is not traditional hell. This is a mind hell.\n\nDifferent circles of hell are associated with different 'modern sins':\n\n1. Hopelessly unquenchable social validation thirst: Narcissism, being a self-centred person without a care for others, disregarding others and what they say.\n2. Never-ending stream of information: Disinformation, forceful delusion, conspiracies, etc. - purposefully misleading others.\n3. Hopeless hard work: Exploitation and/or abuse of people, for example being unfair or dishonest about what they deserve at their expense.\n4. Forever running away from reality: Escapism rather than confrontation in life, a way of living to not experience or learn any of the unpleasant parts of life, leaving life without having learned anything.\n5. Emotional crisis: Abusing people, hurting them, manipulation, etc - making a person feel horrible about themselves when they did not deserve it or ask for it, such as racism.\n6. Outside world crisis: Hurting the environment (not nature in particular, but also people and everything around you), trashing it, not preserving what's left, pollution, non-ethical/non-moral acts to the things around you.\n\nThe sins are not one-time offense, you will only go to hell if it's constant, it is a forgiven offense to commit to one of those sins and later grow from it. Best way to learn is to make mistakes.\n\n#### What is hell\n\nHell is a place like the current world you're currently living in, however it is build to go against you. You don't know that. You don't even know you're in hell, actually. But the world you're put to will be set against you, in one way or another, and you'll be forced into torture, and death, which you will so crave, won't be an option. You're stuck there for eternity.\n\nIn hell, you'll still feel normal senses such as cold, hunger, thirst, emotions, smell, taste, etc. Though, that doesn't mean you'll be quench it.\n\n#### Descriptions of circles of hell\n\nThis section describes what each circle of the modern hell is.\n\nCircles are worlds which you can only go down in, there's no going up.

These insightful masterpieces mirror Orwell's grim prophesy of totalitarian regimes, manipulation, and misuse of propaganda, which can continue to resonate today. Both of these creative works portray the snowballing of governing systems into a rough dystopian reality in different ways.\n\nTo begin, let's settle into the dystopian reality of \"1984\". It represents a chilling depiction of totalitarianism, a system of governance where the citizens are under total control of a singular political authority - centralized absolute political power. This is clearly represented by the main governance power in the book - Big Brother, who is the leader of everything, he watches everyone and everything, even your thoughts. Despite of never truly confirming the existence of Big Brother, Orwell utilizes this figure to model absolute authority and personality that usually accompany such power systems.\n\nThe role of propaganda in this totalitarian regime is also very notable. \"The Party\", who rules the nation, manipulates reality through manipulating historical records, as said in the book - \"one who controls the past, controls the present and the future\". This manipulation of truth and distortion of reality gives rise of the concept of \"doublethink\". It is a form of overwhelmed critical thinking which coerces citizens into passively accepting two contradictory beliefs at the same time - a clever mind-control technique used by the Party. The Party implements many mind control tricks to force people into submission to the government.\n\nConversely, Orwell's symbolic story \"Animal Farm\" paints a grim picture of dictatorship. The farm animals, who represent societal groups, rebel against their tyrant farmer (an allegory for the rebellion against Czar), but their democratic society eventually turns into an oppressive regime. The name of the book (\"Animal Farm\") comes from when the animals rebelled against the farmer and renamed \"Manor Farm\" to \"Animal Farm\" to symbolize that they've claimed it.\n\nOrwell uses the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, who gradually gain power, to highlight the danger of centralized power in hands of a singular entity. Napoleon's relentless pursuit of power resonates with every dictator in world history. His leadership morphs into a totalitarian regime, and the once cherished principles of Animalism are manipulated to suit the pigs' needs. Contrarily, Snowball represents a good power which was an Animalism activist, who was overthrown by Napoleon's propaganda and relentless craving for power. It is believed that Napoleon is a representation of the Soviet dictator of 1920s - Joseph Stalin, and Snowball is believed to be representing Leon Trotsky, a revolutionary Marxist and political theorist who played a key role in the Russian revolution of 1917.\n\nPropaganda in \"Animal Farm\"ispersonifiedbySquealer,Napoleon'sright-handpig.Squealer'sspeechandpersuasionmanipulatetheotherfarmanimalsintobelievingthatthepigs'ruthlessordersareforeveryone'sbenefit.Histwisteduseofwording,statistics,andlogicalfallaciessu

The book in focus is the infamous \"Animal Farm\" by the influential English writer - George Orwell.\n\nBefore we deep dive into the book I'd like to take a moment to present the author of this book. George Orwell, born on June 25th of 1903, as Eric Arthur Blair, he later adopted his writer name as we know it today - George Orwell. Orwell was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic. His works are characterized by clarity, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, he's an outspoken port of democratic socialism. His masterpieces portray power as a keen eye for effects of poverty, a theme which echos throughout his books from his first book called \"Down and Out in Paris and London\", published in 1933.\n\n\"Animal Farm\" is among the most celebrated of Orwell's creations, \"Animal Farm\" is a unique blend of political satire, dystopian fiction, and allegorical storytelling. It was published on August 17th of 1945, at a time where the world was still devastated by effects of World War II. Throughout the book, he managed to expose and criticize the corruption and brutal totalitarianism that come with absolute political power.\n\n\"Animal Farm\"isaclevernovelwhichusesanimalstoallegoricallyexpressthestorylinetocreateauniqueutopiansocietywhichslowlybecomesadystopianreality.Itbeginsgood,butthenslowlydeterioratesintoaharsh,corrupt,andbitterstateofgovernance,depictingabitterrealityofmanypoliticalsystems.Theanimalsinthebookdonotmerelyrepresentthemselves,butrathereachhasitsreal-worldpoliticalhistory,thisbecomesclearerandclearerasyoureadintotheveryclearallegorythatOrwellcreatedinthestoryline.\n\nThepigs,whopresenttheleadersoftherebellion,representthosewhoareincharge-thepoliticians.It'sveryclever,inmyopinion,howthepigsarepresentedasthegovernment,aspigsareknownasthisdirtyandgrossanimalinmanycultures.Ifeellikethisnotonlyrepresentsthegoverningpowerinthebookwell,butalsoreal-worldgovernmentsandtheiractions.ManysourcesclaimthatThecharacterofNapoleon,alargeboar,canbeseenasarepresentationofJosephStalin,aSovietleaderfromthemid-1920stohisdemisein1953,aruthlessfigurewhoforcedpoliciessuchascollectivizationandpurges,consolidatingpowerandtransformingtheSovietUnionintoanindustrializedbutauthoritarianstate.ThesamesourcesalsoclaimthatSnowball,anotherpig,representsthepoliticaltheoristLeonTrotsky,aprominentMarxistrevolutionarywhoplayedakeyroleintheRussianRevolution,advocatingforinternationalsocialism,andlaterbecomingavocalcriticofJosephStalin'sauthoritariancontrolin1920stoearly1930s.\n\nOrwell'swritingstyleapplicationsandas

"content":"hello\n\nrecently i've set up a [matrix server](https://blog.ari.lt/b/ariweb-matrix-homeserver/)\nand i went through a lot of pain, so i'm here to document issues\ni've faced and hopefully i can help more people set up their homeservers\nquicker and with less issues\n\nalso, before we start, i want to clarify that all commands that start with `#`\nmust be ran as the root user ( for example through `sudo` or `su` ), and `$`\nshould be ran as normal user ( for example `matrix` or `user` or something ),\nunless stated otherwise\n\n## setup\n\n- [debian](https://debian.org/) 12\n- [contabo VPS](https://contabo.com/en/vps/) S SSD\n - 8 gb RAM\n - 4 cores\n - 200 gb SSD\n - 200 Mbit/s network speed\n- [dendrite](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite) implementation of the [matrix protocol](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/)\n- [golang](https://go.dev/) `1.20.0` and up\n\ni wouldn't suggest going below the contabo VPS S SSD hardware-level because it may\nget slow and painful, especially when joining bigger rooms, i'd even suggest going\nwith contabo VPS M SSD, which is why i'll upgrade soon\n\n## delegation of the main domain\n\ni assume you won't be running your website ( say like <https://ari.lt/> ) on the same\nserver you run your matrix server, in my case, i actually even couldn't because of how\nmy website is hosted on netlify and ye, but regardless, i'd very much suggest running\nmatrix ( dendrite )\n\ni personally went for the [.well-known delegation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html#well-known-delegation) method, but you can go for anything you like as there's multiple methods\n\nhere's how my .well-known stuff looks :\n\n`.well-known/matrix/client` :\n\n {\n \"m.homeserver\": {\n \"base_url\": \"https://matrix.ari.lt\"\n }\n }\n\n`.well-known/matrix/server` :\n\n {\n \"m.server\": \"matrix.ari.lt:443\"\n}\n\nasseenat<https://ari.lt/git>, they also don't have to be pretty-printed, i don't\nknow why i made them pretty, but it's fine\n\nfew key notes :\n\n- do not forget the port in `.well-known/matrix/server`, it is not implicit,\n i don't remember the default port, but prefer to be explicit\n- the files must point to your matrix server ( where dendrite will be hosted )\n- make sure that the files return `Content-Type` header as JSON, aka `application/json`\n- make sure CORS is set up correctly\n - `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` = `*`\n - `Access-Control-Allow-Methods` = `GET`\n\nthis is the easy part\n\n## golang\n\nbefore anything, we will need to install golang, on debian you can do `apt install go-golang`, but that\nmay install an old version of go, which isn't desirable, here's how i did it :\n\n- went to <https://go.dev/dl/>\n- downloaded the latest package for linux ( in my case <https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz> )\n- followed the [go installation instructions from package](https://go.dev/doc/install)\n\nthis gave me the latest go language compiler, which we will use to compile dendrite as it's\nwritten in go\n\n## installing other dependencies\n\nother dependencies are defined in <https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/installation/planning#dependencies>, but\nat the moment they're :\n\n- go ( already covered in <#:golang> )\n- postgresql database\n- built-in [NATS server](https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server) ( we don't need to do anything here, dendrite comes with one )\n- reverse proxy, such as [nginx](https://nginx.org/), which we will use in this case\n\nand for SSL stuff we will also add `certbot` to our dependencies so we could have a\nsecure SSL connection\n\nto install them, you can run the following :\n\n # apt install postgresql postgresql-client nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx\n\n- `postgresql` and `postgresql-client` for postgresql dependency and interface\n- `nginx` as our reverse proxy\n- `certbot` and `python3-certbot-nginx` for SSL things\n\n## preparing database\n\npreparing the database is fairly easy as per\n[the mat

"content":"hello world\n\nBASH only has one okay syntax highligher, but its super slow, it implements\nthe whole readline lib in BASH, so i decided to make my own ... but its harder\nthan i thought\n\nat first, i kept running into issues with file descriptors, bash kept being annoying,\nkept blocking my stuff, but then i came up with an idea to read from its stdin and\nthen write to stderr and use ansi escapes to move the cursor and text around, it worked\nkinda ig, but theres a problem, as bash owns the fd it can steal a read() from us and\nmake us not be able to read from stdin anymore, which is painful, the concept program\nkeeps missing bytes, especially if youre typing fast, when youre typing slow its\nmuch less noticable\n\ntheres also an ansi escape issue with the cursor, it keeps going to its old position,\nbut thats probably because it keeps missing bytes, `\\r` and/or `\\n` to be specific,\nin my case `\\r` idk why bash reads `\\r` instead of `\\n`, but oh well\n\nanyway, heres the concept :\n\n- <https://gist.github.com/TruncatedDinosour/e2034cf470f268596235a5c88ffcd048>\n- <https://gist.githubusercontent.com/TruncatedDinosour/e2034cf470f268596235a5c88ffcd048/raw/fc84ff1c9f6b6b010b16eea462aeed88b6d2b274/bash_syntax_highlighting.py>\n\nhow it works is :\n\n- takes from you the target bash shell pid which you can get by running `echo $$` in the target\n- opens stdin ( `0` ) and stderr ( `2` ) file descriptors\n- opens `/tmp/{target bash pid}.bash` as an out file ( as you cant write to bash stdin for it to exec code )\n- overwrites the outfile\n- loops until stdin is okay to use / open\n - writes ansi escape for 'save cursor position'\n - while a single read byte from stdin is not `\\r` and / or `\\n`\n - interprets backspaces\n - writes 'restore cursor position' and 'clear line from cursor position' ansi codes plus the highligted\n line to stderr\n - write a newline to stderr\n - if s is not empty\n - writes the read command to the outfile\n - sends a `SIGINT` ( basically `CTRL` + `C` ) signal to bash ( to activate PROMPT_COMMAND and get a new prompt\n as once again -- bash doesnt like when you use its file descriptors for that )\n- at the end of the main loop it closes opened stdin, stderr and out files\n\non the target side you only need to run this\n\n export PROMPT_COMMAND=\"source /tmp/$$.bash\"\n\nso it runs the command every new prompt as bash should not be able to read the\ncommand and we should own it\n\nso far i tried these methods to mitigate the problems i faced :\n\n- using `LD_PRELOAD` to overwrite the `read()` syscall\n - making always return `0`\n - redirecting it to a FIFO\n - closing it\n- using `os.write` / `read`\n- using C++\n- using C\n\nany help to resolve the issues is welcome, although its optional, itd just help improve the\nquality of the concept and make it maybe even useful to people, you can comment [here](/c) or\nunder the gist ( preferably under the gist ), lets discuss your ideas :) you are also free\nto email me at `ari.web.xyz@gmail.com`\n\nanyway, enough talking, i think this will be a multipart series until i make something working\nor give up, once i get something working ill try to make it easy for others and develop a framework\naround it, maybe others might too, if you have any ideas how to fix it let me know and well,\nsee you next time :)\n",

"content":"hello world\n\ntoday was kinda cool, i literally wasnt at school and was just programming for 5 hours,\nalthough its not what you think it is, most likely\n\ntoday i went to a programming olympic again, the country part, part 1, although i dont\nthink ill go to the finale, reason being i got `35 / 300` points, ik it sounds horrible,\nbecause it is, its `11.(6) %` but per average i feel like i did okay ig,,,, i mean, i got\nmore points than another guy for sure, there were 4 of us, it was very hard, although\nill try to do it at home today or whenever i have time, i still wanna see if im able to\ndo it in peace, because in the environment i was working i was a bit scared because i wasnt\neven doing it in my own school lol, new people, teachers, although got to know a couple of\nguys in my programming club thing which was pretty nice, theyre nice\n\ni think the programming stuff was fun, i mean it did hurt sitting there and staring at\na computer screen for 5 hours, but eh, doesnt matter, at least i did very well in the first\n2 parts, got max points, 2 nd almost max, but i fixed it after\n\nso yeah, thats that part of the day, i only went to half of physics lol, thats all,\ndidnt do anything else besides code after\n\nnow im home, i came back, im too tired to do much rn tbh, i really wanted to share what i\ndid today, even though it isnt much for now at least, after this im probably going on a walk,\nmaybe to my grandma, well see, so ye\n\nhave a nice day <3\n",

"content":"remember [this post ?](https://blog.ari-web.xyz/b/i-came-out-to-my-psychologist/)\n\nso yeah, last week i couldnt meet up with my psychologist ( because stuff happened at home ), so i did this week, not too long ago i walked out of her office and even though\ni walked out sweating like a stressed pig, i feel ... good ? i mean it all went well, she was accepting,\nunderstanding, nice about it, but it was scary talking about me being trans in person, i have\nnever had to talk about it so much irl, new thing, a lot of anxiety and just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\n\nshe said its fine and okay, she understands, she has trans clients in the past, she even asked for the name\ni go by, ~~although i couldnt say it because i was scared, ill tell her next week~~,\nshe used feminine pronouns on me this session and so on\n\nit was a lot to talk about, it was scary, i was in such a high state of stress, sweated, got shaky,\nfidgeted and stuff but now that im home, i think it was a good experience, im happy about it,\nim glad i finally opened up about my identity and that my psychologist accepted me for who i am,\nits a huge relief and im glad i was able to sorta do it\n\nshe also asked how does it feel to be trans and i couldnt really explain it, its \u2728 a feeling \u2728\nlike she asked me something along the lines of\n\n> are you a boy who just likes boys or are you a girl ? how does it feel to be trans ?\n\ni said that i am a girl and that its weird to explain how it is to be trans, i said like\n\n> it just feels that im not me, its weird to explain it\n\nor smt, i think a better explanation would be like\n\n> im a girl, it feels like like me fighting my own self, like i want to be accepted\n> but im also scared, i feel like im not a boy, i hate taking on masculine roles, i am not masculine\n> myself, i feel like nobody who is cis will understand what its like to be a trans person and the\n> struggles that come with it as its not a choice, for example, i feel like i should be in\n> the girls group if the teachers tell us to split into groups by gender\n> ( even though i think its quite bs but eh ) but i have to go the boys group\n> apparently ( like i have to fight myself ), i feel like im walking on eggshells to conceal\n> my identity and who i am trying to make sure im not offending anyone and not exposing myself\n> to just get bullied into even a deeper depression than i already am in\n\ni think this would have fit more, but i mean i have an alibi -- i was stressed beyond hell, i was sweating,\nmy heart and mind were racing, everything was just a whole ball of stress, i was sitting there in\na chair frozen, barely able to talk, although as we talked more about it i got more comfortable\n\ni think and hope next week i will be able to talk to her more about this topic and this conversation\nmade me realise, maybe i dont want to end my life yet afterall, maybe i just needed help, someone to talk\nto, after i had the convo i feel much better, its nice, although when my depression and gender dysphoria\nwill come back after such a high point for me in happiness, i will feel terrible\n\nbut oh well, at least the psychologist accepts me :)\n",

"content":"Over the years that I have been programming I had quite a few\nmoments when I had to optimise code, so today I have decided to share\nhow I do it, you might find this useful\n\n## BASH script optimisation\n\n> Note: A lot of these points can be also applied to the next\n> section\n\n- Avoid forks and sub-shells, it might not look like much but it **_REALLY_** impacts\n your program's performance, like... By a lot, so avoid them\n - Prefer using built-in BASH commands (<#:Example 1>)\n rather than calling external commands\n - Some `builtin`s are faster than others (<#:Example 12>)\n - Prefer using the `-v` syntax rather than using a sub-shell, capturing\n the output and saving it, by `-v` syntax I mean\n a command writing _directly_ to the variable (<#:Example 2>)\n - Prefer using native BASH rather than calling commands (<#:Example 3>)\n- Avoid looping, as in any interpreted programming language it's slow to\n loop in BASH\n- Avoid complex commands (<#:Example 4>)\n - Avoid complexity in general even if it sacrifices ease (<#:Example 5>)\n - Be smart about the commands you call, call simpler ones (<#:Example 6>)\n- Less is more, if you're not using BASH features, why not stick to `sh` ?\n It's faster, or even use some other POSIX complient shell, for example DASH\n or KSH\n- If your code is being `source`d or in general, why not have a pre-processing\n or build step, for example let's say you have optional logging enabled by some\n environment variable, why not make that build-time, for example\n <https://ari-web.xyz/gh/baz> does it, strip away comments and stuff\n - While you're at it, why not mangle names at build time to\n be shorter ? Shorter scripts from what I know run _slightly_ faster\n as BASH has to read less and parse less\n- Avoid disk I/O (<#:Example 7>)\n- Store data in variables rather than generating it over and over again\n for example BASH escapes `$'\\n'`, it gives a _very slight_ performance\n boost (<#:Example 8>)\n- Prefer doing everything in one rather than one-by-one (<#:Example 9>)\n\n## General code optimisation\n\n- Prefer compilation, transpilation or pre-evaluation over\n pure interpretation\n - Even if the transpilation is into bytecode, it doesn't matter,\n it'll still be faster than pure interpretation, for example\n python bytecode is faster than raw python\n- Buffering is underrated, calling many `syscall`s is expensive,\n have a larger buffer instead ! (<#:Example 10>)\n- Prioritise simplicity over ease, abstractions often cause\n more complex code\n- Use low level code, it's much faster than pure abstractions\n - Low level code gives you more control and is closer\n to hardware meaning is much faster than machine-generated\n assembly with preparation steps and things, you can do\n just what you want with low level code, although it's not\n easier, simple, but not easy\n- Prefer smaller size, smaller assembly instructions and registers\n- Find faster ways to do things, there always is at least one\n (<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1135679/does-using-xor-reg-reg-give-advantage-over-mov-reg-0>)\n- Prefer doing less for a similar result (<#:Example 11>)\n\n## Examples\n\n### Example 1\n\n x=\"$(cat -- /etc/passwd)\"\n\nFaster:\n\n x=\"$(</etc/passwd)\"\n\n### Example 2\n\n greet() { echo \"Hello, $1\"; }\n\n x=\"$(greet 'ari')\"\n echo \"$x\"\n\nFaster:\n\n greet() {\n local -n _r=\"$1\"\n shift 1\n\n printf -v _r \"Hello, %s\" \"$1\"\n }\n\n greet x 'ari'\n echo \"$x\"\n\n### Example 3\n\n x=\"Hel o\"\n echo \"$x\" | sed 's/ /l/'\n\nFaster:\n\n x=\"Hel o\"\n echo \"${x/ /l}\"\n\n### Example 4\n\n printf '%s\\n' 'hey'\n\nFaster:\n\n echo 'hey'\n\n### Example 5\n\n x=()\n\n while read -r line; do\n x+=(\"$line\")\ndone<file\n\nFaster:\n\nmapfile-tx<file\n\n###Example6\n\nsed'1!d'

"content":"## Before we start\n\nThis blog is not updated, I made this whole thing into a baz\nplugin: <https://ari-web.xyz/gh/mpvp-report>\n\nA day ago I started collecting data about what I listen to\non my playlist, and currently it's working out amazing, it's very\nfun, so I thought to myself, 'why not share it', so here\nyou go\n\n## 1. Set up `mpvp` alias\n\n`mpvp` alias is what you will have to use to collect data about\nyour playlist, you can set up another name but code should be\naround the same\n\nBasically, add this to your `~/.bashrc`:\n\n mpvp_collect() {\n [ ! -f \"$HOME/.mpvp\" ] && : >\"$HOME/.mpvp\"\n\n sleep 2\n\n while true; do\n sleep 5\n\n x=\"$(echo '{ \"command\": [\"get_property\", \"path\"] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvipc)\"\n\n [ ! \"$x\" ] && break\n\n if [ \"$x\" ] && [ \"$x\" != \"$(tail -n 1 \"$HOME/.mpvp\")\" ]; then\n sleep 4\n\n y=\"$(echo '{ \"command\": [\"get_property\", \"path\"] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvipc)\"\n [ \"$x\" = \"$y\" ] && echo \"$x\" >>\"$HOME/.mpvp\"\n fi\n done\n }\n\n alias mpvp='mpvp_collect & mpv --shuffle --loop-playlist --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvipc'\n\nWhen you use the `mpvp` alias it'll start the data collector in the background,\nthe IPC will be accessible though `/tmp/mpvipc`, this will collect all\ndata to `~/.mpvp`, listen to some music and ignore it for a bit, also, keep in mind,\nthis code is bad because I'm too lazy to improve it and I made it fast, anyway, you\nneed to install `socat` for this to work\n\n## 2. Generate data report\n\nWell at this point you can do anything you want with your data, although\nI made a simple generator for it\n\nSo I made use of the data I have and my playlist structure, here's an example entry:\n\n {\"data\":\"playlist/girl in red - i'll die anyway. [8MMa35B3HT8].mp3\",\"request_id\":0,\"error\":\"success\"}\n\nThere's an ID there so I add YouTube adding to the generator by\ndefault, yours might not have it, but I mean, you can still pretty much\nuse it, just links won't work\n\n### 2.1 The script\n\nI made a python script as my generator:\n\n #!/usr/bin/env python3\n # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\n \"\"\"MPV playlist song reporter\"\"\"\n\n import os\n import sys\n from html import escape as html_escape\n from typing import Any, Dict, List, Tuple\n from warnings import filterwarnings as filter_warnings\n\n import ujson # type: ignore\n from css_html_js_minify import html_minify # type: ignore\n\n SONG_TO_ARTIST: Dict[str, str] = {\n \"1985\": \"bo burnham\",\n \"apocalypse\": \"cigarettes after Sex\",\n \"astronomy\": \"conan gray\",\n \"brooklyn baby\": \"lana del rey\",\n \"come home to me\": \"crawlers\",\n \"daddy issues\": \"the neighbourhood\",\n \"feel better\": \"penelope scott\",\n \"hornylovesickmess\": \"girl in red\",\n \"i wanna be your girlfriend\": \"girl in red\",\n \"k.\": \"cigarettes after Sex\",\n \"lookalike\": \"conan gray\",\n \"lotta true crime\": \"penelope scott\",\n \"my man's a hexagon (music video)\": \"m\u00fcnecat\",\n \"r\u00e4t\": \"penelope scott\",\n \"sappho\": \"bushies\",\n \"serial killer - lana del rey lyrics\": \"lana del rey\",\n \"sugar, we're goin down but it's creepier\": \"kade\",\n \"sweater weather\": \"the neighbourhood\",\n \"talia \u29f8\u29f8 girl in red cover\": \"girl in red\",\n \"tv\": \"bushies\",\n \"unionize - m\u00fcnecat (music video)\": \"m\u00fcnecat\",\n \"watch you sleep.\": \"girl in red\",\n \"you used me for my love_girl in red\": \"girl in red\",\n }\n\n\n class UnknownMusicArtistError(Exception):\n \"\"\"Raised when there is an unknown music artist\"\"\"\n\n\ndefsort_dict(d:Dict[str,int])->Dict[str,int]:\nreturn{k:vfork,vinsorted(d.items(),key=lambdaitem:item[1],reverse=True)}\n\n\ndef

Validate hashes\n\nAll APIs have hashes for validation, and APIs are much more\nexpensive to call than just comparing two hashes\n\nFirst up make an uncached request, cache the request, then\nmake a request to get the calculated hash, cache it too\n\nNext time only make a request to get the hash, if the hashes\nmatch, if they do, use the cached API response, if it does\nnot match, get the updated data, cache it and so on\n\n### Hashes\n\nThe hashes are sha256 sums of the APIs, here's all the APIs\nhashing system\n\n- <https://files.ari-web.xyz/files.json>\n - Just make a request to <https://files.ari-web.xyz/files_json_hash.txt>\n- <https://blog.ari-web.xyz/blog.json>\n - Just make a request to <https://blog.ari-web.xyz/blog_json_hash.txt>\n- <https://www.ari-web.xyz/api>\n - Just make a request to <https://www.ari-web.xyz/api_hash/..._hash.txt> with the `...` being the API name with all `.` characters replaced with `_`, for example for <https://www.ari-web.xyz/api/sitelist.json> would be <https://www.ari-web.xyz/api_hash/sitelist_json_hash.txt>\n- <https://etc.ari-web.xyz/pages.json>\n - Just make a request to <https://etc.ari-web.xyz/pages_json_hash.txt>\n\nThis is already a standard in Ari-web, also if `www` subdomains don't work,\ntry out removing `www`\n\n## 2. Make as little requests as you can\n\nThis is kinda an extension of point 1, just don't make 10\nrequests to every API if you only need the `sitelist.json` once for\nexample\n\n## That's it\n\nThat's it, I got nothing else, this whole blog could have been\njust\n\n Make as little and I mean AS LITTLE requests as possible to the APIs\n",

"content":"So before we start, I have my own overlay @ <https://ari-web.xyz/overlay>\nand am running it for a while, it was a bit painful for me to\nmake one at the start and to help new Gentoo users I am making this\nblog post, anyway, here's how you do it:\n\n## Step one -- Think of a name\n\nThink of a name you will give your overlay because this information\nwill be needed in later steps\n\n## Step two -- Folder structure\n\nTo start with we need files and folders to work with,\nall names ending with a `/` are folders and everything\nelse is a file, please make sure to also apply the templates\nin `<...>`, for example `<year>` would be the current year:\n\n ./\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 LICENSE\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 metadata/\n \u2502 \u2514\u2500\u2500 layout.conf\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 overlays.xml\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 profiles/\n \u2502 \u2514\u2500\u2500 repo_name\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 README.md\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 repositories.xml\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 sets/\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 sets.conf\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 <overlay name>.conf\n\n## Step three -- License\n\nThe `LICENSE` file should have your license, if it doesn't\nalready please pick one, for example on my overlay\nI went for [GPLv3](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html), but you can also go for some other\n_open source_ licenses, like GPLv2, WTFPL, BSD 3-clause, etc.\n\nWrite that license to the `LICENSE` file\n\n## Step four -- Master overlays\n\nThis step is always the same, you have to set the master\noverlay in `metadata/layout.conf` file, the master is usually\ngoing to be `gentoo`, so in `metadata/layout.conf` add this\ncontent:\n\n masters = gentoo\n\n## Step five -- Overlay index files\n\nOverlay index files are these files:\n\n- `overlays.xml`\n- `repositories.xml`\n\nBoth of these files should have the same content,\nmake sure to fill in the templates that are in SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE:\n\n <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n <!DOCTYPE repositories SYSTEM \"https://www.gentoo.org/dtd/repositories.dtd\">\n <repositories xmlns=\"\" version=\"1.0\">\n <repo quality=\"experimental\" status=\"unofficial\">\n <name><![CDATA[OVERLAY_NAME]]></name>\n <description lang=\"en\"><![CDATA[OVERLAY_DESCRIPTION]]></description>\n <homepage>OVERLAY_HOMEPAGE</homepage>\n <owner type=\"project\">\n <email>OWNER_EMAIL</email>\n <name><![CDATA[OWNER_FULL_NAME]]></name>\n </owner>\n\n <!--\n Optional (this is an example because it's hard to template it):\n\n <source type=\"git\">https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/dinolay.git</source>\n <source type=\"git\">git://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/dinolay.git</source>\n <source type=\"git\">git@github.com:TruncatedDinosour/dinolay.git</source>\n<feed>https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/dinolay/commits/main.atom</feed>\n -->\n </repo>\n </repositories>\n\nOnce again, don't forget that all of these files have the same exact content,\nand no, it cannot be a symlink AFAIK\n\n## Step six -- Profiles\n\nYou only need one file in the `profiles` folder -- `repo_name`,\nthe content of it should be your overlay name, for example:\n\n dinolay\n\nThis is the `repo_name` content on my own overlay, basically the\ntemplate is\n\n <overlay name>\n\n## Step seven -- Readme\n\n`README.md` is an optional file, it's just used for information to give to users,\nit can have any content but here's a nice template:\n\n # <overlay name>\n\n > <overlay description>\n\n ## Installation\n\n ### Manual\n\n ```bash\n $ sudo mkdir -p /etc/portage/repos.conf\n $ sudo cp <overlay name>.conf /etc/portage/repos.conf/<overlay name>.conf\n $ sudo emerge --sync '<overlay name>'\n ```\n\n ### Eselect repository\n\n ```bash\n $ sudo eselect repository add '<overlay name>' '<overlay sync method (e.g. git)>' '<overlay sync url>'\n $ sudo eselect repository enabl

"content":"People always seem to disagree with me when I say that \"simple != easy\",\nhere's a blog to explain the difference between simple and easy,\nwell at least when it comes to programming\n\nSo, let's take python and x86_64 Linux FASM Assembly as easy and simple examples\n\nPython is easy, we can all agree on this:\n\n print(\"Hello world\")\n\nThis will print \"Hello world\", seems simple right? Yeah no. Python does a lot\nmore than this under the hood, it calls loads of syscalls just for that\nprogram alone:\n\n ari@ari-gentoo ~ % strace python3 hello_world.py 2>&1 | wc -l\n 754\n\nAnd these are only the syscalls, imagine the control flow, there are probably\nmany jumps, complicated loops and generally, if we theoretically generated a CFG\nfor python it'd probably be huge and extremely complicated, this is the reason\nwhy it's **_not simple_**, in logic it does much more than we tell it to,\npython isn't explicit so it makes it very **_easy_** to write\n\nNow, let's write the same program in x86_64 Linux FASM Assembly:\n\n format ELF64 executable 3\n segment readable executable\n\n _start:\n mov rax, 1\n mov rdi, 1\n mov rsi, hello\n mov rdx, hello_len\n syscall\n\n mov rax, 60\n mov rdi, 0\n syscall\n\n segment readable\n hello: db \"Hello world\", 10\n hello_len = $ - hello\n\nNow this is where the fight would begin after I mention \"easy != simple\",\nbecause they have an opinion of \"Less code = simple\", this code is **_simple_**\nbelieve me or not, this code is just **_not easy_**, for a average virgin JavaScript\nor some high-level language developer this code seems overly complicated and\nthey call this code \"Not simple\", when it actually is very simple, it's just\nagain, as I mentioned, not easy.\n\nSo if we compile it and run this binary:\n\n ari@ari-gentoo ~ % fasm hello_world.asm\n flat assembler version 1.73.30 (16384 kilobytes memory, x64)\n 3 passes, 234 bytes.\n\n ari@ari-gentoo ~ % strace ./hello_world 2>&1 | wc -l\n 5\n\nSee how much simpler this is, it's only 5 lines of strace output and it's\nactually faster because of the simplicity of this program\n\nPython takes `0:00.05` seconds where as assembly takes `0:00.00` seconds,\nsimplicity not only improves the performance, it improves how much\nyour program needs in resources, python does much much more meaning it needs\na lot more memory, CPU and storage to run\n\nSo basically, simplicity is not ease, ease is what you do and simplicity\nis what your program does, easy as that, hopefully I clarified what I mean\nby \"Simple != easy\" and hopefully I won't need to explain it again :)\n\nHave a nice rest of your day and I hope you now understand what is the difference\nbetween easy and simple :D\n",

Bloated?\nThe difference is HUGE and they do the same think,\nit's so insane.\n\nSo now I got a project idea in mind, less Bloated assembly,\nbut [idk](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/idk-meaning/)...\n\nIt's so wild how going lower than low level can make\nsuch huge difference, but then again, with using assembly\nand assemblers like [NASM](https://nasm.us/) you get a lot\nmore features and stuff.\n\nBut with manual elf generation you get infinite control,\nwhich is nice.\n\nI know, you can probably [\"Shoot yourself in the foot\"](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/shoot-yourself-in-the-foot)\nby manually generating ELF but the amount of space you can save is crazy.\n\nDebugging will also be more painful with manually generating assembly,\nno sections and stuff, but it's still very interesting\n\nAnyway, conclusion, rust is bloated, assembly is bloated,\neverything is bloated, the lower you go the less bloat you\nget apparently, it's nice :)\n\nBut besides that, assembly is still great, C is great, rust... Not\nso much but whatever, don't stop using it because \"Ari said it's bloated\",\nit's more than okay to use them, still very shocking results, assembly\nruns and will always run everything and you can't do anything about that\ngenerating ELF gave me like 947 mental illnesses so I think I will\nstay with assembly, but I will consider making less bloated assembly lol\n\nAnyway, thanks for listening to me, sorry if I offended anyone,\nthis wasn't my intention, just sharing the results lol :)\n\nSee you in the next blog, have a good rest of your day :)\n",
