Join me as I navigate this community-driven platform, create my seller profile, and experiment with a listing to understand what the XMR community desires.",
      "content": "Hello, World!\n\nIn early 2024, I stumbled upon an intriguing Monero marketplace called XMRBazaar (beta, <https://xmrbazaar.com/>). After giving it some thought, I decided to dive into this unique platform that allows users to buy and sell products and services using XMR, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. This marketplace caught my attention not just for its offerings but also for its community-focused approach as well as its great privacy policy - a refreshing breeze amongst the sea of surveillance.\n\nThus, after joining XMRBazaar, I made myself a nice profile (<https://xmrbazaar.com/user/ari>) that accurately portrays me, later making a generic listing called \"Anything goes (for now): seeing what people want. (with returns)\" (<https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/8hgS/>) to create a sort of an experiment: trying to see what people on XMRBazaar are looking for, whether or not can I make any XMR on it, and find out if I want to continue doing things on there.\n\n<@:ad20ca1e1aa7603f550cd534ffe4cb786b67864799e541e75f912053e9bec4fa>\n\nI'm looking forward for what the future has waiting for me.\n\n## Future plans: what\u2019s next?\n\nAs I continue thinking about XMRBazaar, I have several plans in mind:\n\n1. Based on feedback and orders I get, I aim to narrow down the services I provide to those that generate the most interest and show the most need in the community.\n2. I plan to continue documenting my journey as a seller and user of XMRBazaar warning about potential dangers, mishaps, or scrapping.\n3. Finally, I hope to connect more with the community on the platform and learn from the community.\n\nOf course, this is all just thoughts for now, since I may very well scrap this idea in the future, but for now I'm hoping it turns out well :)\n\n## Join the experiment\n\nI\u2019m thrilled about this new adventure and look forward to discovering all that XMRBazaar has to offer. If you want to also join this experiment you can order services from me at <https://xmrbazaar.com/user/ari> or create your own services, contributing to the circular economy of Monero!\n\nIf you have any questions about any of it, feel free to message me on XMRBazaar or other contacts listed on my website.\n\nTil next time!",

      "description": "An analysis of the Rust programming language 3+ years later from my old blog post about it: its major flaws, complexities, and issues that make it not an ideal language for developers. My post goes in-depth into the personal and experiences, driven view of the language's deficiencies, such as its complexity, fragmentation, and toxicity within the community, thus putting its ultimate viability in question.",
      "content": "Hi!\n\nA while ago, 2021-11-07 (more than 3 years ago as of writing this), I made a blog post about the Rust programming language, criticising its uselessness. At the time, I gave really easy to beat arguments and made me seem like a clown in a way, which, in retrospect - is funny. To be fair, I didn't dig *that* deep into Rust, but I believe I did have minimal experience with it, and ***a lot*** of idiocy exposure coming from the Rust side; the hype, the libraries, the memes, the community, and the code as well of course.\n\n<@:2f279788d90f6ddae8d49c49674ac899f078bb94243b1b0aabf711e17fc3f482>\n\nSo, over 3 years later, what do I think about the language now as the tides have calmed down a little? That's what I will be discussing today in a calmer tone, trying to avoid being as bold as I was in the original post, which at the time I edited and retracted my bold claims. Furthermore, I have more experience with Rust and the long-term exposure to everything has probably made me more desensitised to it, also, the criticisms of Rust being talked about more has also made me more confident to cover this topic. But I have to say, my opinion and view on Rust, albeit shifted, is still negative.\n\nWell, anyway - Rust.\n\n## Acknowledging the bias\n\nThis post is very biased since I was never a fan of the Rust programming language due to various factors I will discuss today. Viewing this through a fully rational lens, Rust is just a language and there's nothing more to it - just another tool I can use if I want to to develop various programs and tell the computer what I want it to do.\n\nThus, I will be portraying my view on Rust through my biases, opinions, experiences, and feelings towards it. Of course, Rust is probably the last thing that comes to mind when I think about something, but, I just want to share my opinion through a more grown up perspective than I was over 3 years ago (I was like in my early 14s since I am now 17, which is wild!).\n\nFurthermore, I don't have major experience with the Rust programming language. I was interested in it for some time because of the hype but quickly became cold to it. I minimally contributed to a couple of Rust-based projects, but, once again - nothing major. Though, most of my experience with rust comes from messing with rust (like doing a challenge where I did 30 days of pure Rust (doing like 1-3 programs in Rust for 30 days, I did this back in 2022 to \"Prove the rusties wrong\" and to be fair I did prove an annoying guy wrong, I hated all of it), or just seeing what it has from time to time), reading Rust code from open source projects, hearing about Rust as well as observing its state - which means that even though I do have somewhat of a better voice on Rust than I had 3+ years ago, I still have pretty minimal involvement in Rust over like a full-time / fully-hobby Rust developer, so take my words with a grain of salt.\n\n## My concerns about rust in short\n\nMy concerns about rust are nothing extraordinary, at least I don't think that they're truly anything unique, I just want to make my stance clearer in a \"better\" tone. Regardless, in short, the following list describes my concerns in short and why I don't think Rust is \"the language\" like many like to put it, we'll dig all of them individually later :)\n\n1. Its increasing complexity, verbosity, and ever-saturating ecosystem. Consequently creating a language which is hard to use, understand, control, on top of an ecosystem that further mirrors JavaScript's heavy dependence on 3rd party frameworks. Hell, in 2024 we STILL don't have built in `random`!\n2. Over-structuring and strictness of the language, which creates a strong dependency on 3rd party libraries with very high level features, resulting in various inefficiencies and vastly increased compile times. Moreover, its strictness terribly impacts the usability of the language in fields like systems' development, leading to a need of hack-arounds and `unsafe` code blocks.\n3. Arrogance and toxicity in the Rust community. This is a massive issue which I've been a victim of myself many times, even when having genuine interest in the language. Even the Rust moderators stepped down from their roles some time ago due to not being able to enforce community standards, but I don't remember what happened after.\n4. Rust's runtime and compile-time costs are also harshly juxtaposition lightweight languages like C, or even C++. This is not only a technical problem, but also an environmental problem, considering its further adoption in the world and how it has the potential to be quite a wide-spread language, it should strive to be as efficient and (environmentally) friendly as possible to reduce waste in today's dying world.\n5. Severe fragmentation in the Rust ecosystem is also a big issue for open discussion. Albeit, some stuff Rust developers achieve is impressive, there's no denying that, but most general-purposes languages have their focuses or niches despite being able to do other things, such as Python (data science), JavaScript (Web development), C (system's development), C++ (games, higher level performance-critical applications), R (statistics), PHP (server-side scripting), shell scripting (automation), etc. While Rust feels like they're trying to do everything, which oftentimes leads to fragmentation and incompleteness.\n6. Finally, hype around the language is still relevant (although that's not nearly as bad as it was 3 years ago). This hype ushers us to make quick decisions which we later regret or at least could have spent more time on. For instance, the aggressive push of Rust in the Linux kernel was a discourse, it made it in, and in my opinion: that was not a very smart idea. But more about that later. Regardless, despite the hype, its adoption is still relatively low, and even though it is pushed aggressively - maybe it's time to think about its longevity ignoring the hype surrounding it?\n\nThis time I'll focus on these arguments as these are what concern me the most,\n\n## Concern 1: Increasing complexity, verbosity, and ever-saturating ecosystem\n\nFrom watching rust from afar, time to time getting closer to it, I've seen the language get more complex, verbose, and ever more saturated with various libraries, frameworks, and features. I've also had the criticism of its bad syntax and it hasn't changed, of course, that's subjective, I guess. I, personally, am very used to the simple syntax of languages like Python and C, even C++ is more simple and less noisy than Rust! Let me give you a comparison I came across today when I saw a beginner Rust developer try to make a simple application in Rust:\n\nThey tried to make a random number guessing game in Rust where they read the number from the standard input and the user tries to guess a random number generated by the program. Well, even though I don't have the exact example now, it was something like this (made by me) (**note:** I know the PRNG isn't seeded, ignore it. It doesn't make any difference in my point and I already wrote this \ud83d\ude2d):\n\n```rs\nuse std::io;\nuse rand::Rng;\n\nfn main() {\n    let n = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(1..=100);\n\n    println!(\"Guess the number: \");\n\n    let mut input = String::new();\n    io::stdin()\n        .read_line(&mut input)\n        .expect(\"Failed to read the number\");\n\n    let g: u32 = match input.trim().parse() {\n        Ok(num) => num,\n        Err(_) => {\n            println!(\"Please enter a valid number.\");\n            return;\n        }\n    };\n\n    if g != n {\n        println!(\"No! The number was {}.\", n);\n    } else {\n        println!(\"Correct!\");\n    }\n}\n```\n\nAnd you know the best part? This isn't even the whole of it. You need a whole Cargo project and Cargo.toml that looks like this:\n\n```toml\n[package]\nname = \"game\"\nversion = \"0.1.0\"\nedition = \"2021\"\n\n[dependencies]\nrand = \"^0.8.5\"\n```\n\nThen you need to run `cargo build --release` (or `b` instead of `build`) to end up with:\n\n- 19 crates downloaded and built on your system.\n- 6.61s compile time.\n- 441 KB binary. (due to static linking most likely, but even then it depends on libc and libgcc dynamically)\n- 15 MB of Cargo cache.\n- 31 MB build directory.\n- And uhhh a basic game, I guess.\n\nI am not joking:\n\n<@:43fef629105fdc1cd04e6f400abed839d988c23f67223a8d3fe1674fe02e42e1>\n\nThis is funny to me when you see the C example:\n\n```c\n#include <stdio.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\n\nint main(void) {\n    unsigned g;\n    const unsigned n = rand() % 100 + 1;\n\n    fputs(\"Guess the number: \", stdout);\n    scanf(\"%u\", &g);\n\n    if (g != n)\n        printf(\"No! The number was %u.\\n\", n);\n    else\n        puts(\"Correct!\");\n\n    return 0;\n}\n```\n\nOr even the C++ one:\n\n```cpp\n#include <cstdlib>\n#include <iostream>\n\nint main() {\n    unsigned g;\n    const unsigned n = std::rand() % 100 + 1;\n\n    std::cout << \"Guess the number: \";\n    std::cin >> g;\n\n    if (g != n)\n        std::cout << \"No! The number was \" << n << \".\\n\";\n    else\n        std::cout << \"correct.\" << '\\n';\n\n    return 0;\n}\n```\n\nWhere in both cases you end up with:\n\n- A short, simple program.\n- 0 dependencies. (except stuff like libc)\n- 0.06s (in case of C), and 0.39s (in case of C++) compile times.\n- 14 KB binary. (you are able to strip it down to about 6-7 KB if you try with compiler flags)\n- 0 cache.\n- And a basic game!\n\n<@:a22e9a8beb3154523ba368302bedede134df659950925a9968b49cc265cefb7a>\n\nThis stupid example shows how complex, verbose, and saturated Rust is. The sheer size of the source code is enough to show the complexity and verbosity of the language. Then, there's the need for Cargo to even *begin* building the project, and even if you do, you need to download 19 crates. What kind of madness is this! This is the mere epidemic of [modernism](https://blog.ari.lt/b/modernism/) I talked in the past. The post about modernism is quick and has bold and unprecedented language, but it's essentially what Rust is - something modern, which is clearly a waste in so many ways, the peak of modernism; the hype, the size, the reach for a great goal but flopping it so bad in sacrifice of... Everything?\n\n## Concern 2: Over-structuring and strictness of the language\n\nFurther expanding on the first concern, the over-structuring and strictness of it present significant challenges that hinder its usability. This complexity has led to a strong dependency on third-party libraries (as shown in the first example) that offer high-level features, resulting in inefficiencies and increased compile times (once again proven by the first example). This over-structuring and its strictness has made system's development in rust particularly hard (even though some may argue otherwise), and has forced a culture of dependencies and writing unsafe code, mitigating essentially the main point of Rust - its safety - yet still leaving the major disadvantages that come with the Rust ecosystem.\n\nIts over-structuring also limits people's ability to create unique solutions to problems, well, hinders it. It makes it hard to take different approaches because there is so much to navigate, and where C - a simple language - allows you essentially full control, Rust will force you into an indefinite loop of callbacks and various, sometimes unnecessary, error handling, as well as its policy on ownership and other safety features. Also, as much as Rust focuses on concurrency, its multi-threading is known to be notoriously annoying and painful, not allowing you to easily and maybe even fully effectively take full advantage of multi-threading.\n\nThis safety model is very strict and awfully structured, and as a result of this, it leads to runtime costs you wouldn't see in a simple language like C. And if not runtime costs - it's hack-arounds and dependencies to try to make the ecosystem more usable and less complex. This reminds me of one quote:\n\n<@:783a5e8cb6fcc3626a0ebfb08d2c35defa5e4fbfa48f17ebcb3596bffad01cd3>\n\nEven the same Rust developers have concerns about the language's complexity and usability, as a Rust survey back in 2023 showed. InfoWorld covered this back in February of 2024 at <https://www.infoworld.com/article/2336263/rust-developers-concerned-about-complexity-low-usage.html>, reviewing the [2023 Annual Rust Survey Results](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/19/2023-Rust-Annual-Survey-2023-results.html). I would cover the 2024 results, but they're not out yet, but you can still contribute to the 2024 results at <https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/12/05/annual-survey-2024-launch.html>!\n\n## Concern 3: Arrogance and toxicity in the Rust community\n\nI have a lot of personal experiences with the Rust community, and it rarely has been positive. I've heard many people had a similar experiences with the Rust community - a toxic, often annoying and arrogant, mess.\n\nIn fact, I have a pretty irritating story I think about from time to time, though, this memory is quite blurry at this point. Basically, back when I was still naive and only heard how \"perfect\" the Rust programming language is and how the experience is so great and amazing, I had genuine interest in this \"godly\" language, it did look interesting. Well, I joined a couple of Rust communities on a couple of platforms, can't remember which at this point since it happened a while ago, and oh my god I remember it being awful. Fighting about random idiocy and pedantics everywhere, impossible to interact with anyone due to how everyone seemed just constantly angry - just overall a horrible first impression, of course hyperbolised, but you get the idea I think, not a good community. Furthermore, one moment sticks out to me from that time. I was learning Rust beginnings, and I had a question about things, and I was essentially screamed at \"READ THE FUCKING MANUAL YOU FUCKING IMBECILE\" and stuff, maybe not the exact words, but still - I was a novice trying to learn and ask the mere people who are there... In a chat where questions are expected? I generally began seeing the Rust community for what it truly is, finally turning my back on it and the language as a whole.\n\nThis story reminds me of how shit the Rust community is, or at least was. But, honestly, none of my recent interactions with any rusties have been nice either. I felt exhausted every time I tried to talk to any of them. It's usually either hyper-left trans puppygirl anarchocommunist who is rewriting every piece of software they see in Rust because they believe that language Aryanism is the solution to everything, or a person who dismisses any criticism thrown as rust as like \"you're just stupid\" or something - this arrogance is something I've ever only observed in Rust communities thus far myself. And I've been in many communities, like various Linux and Linux distribution community, language communities like Python, C, C++, etc., and generally social gatherings of tech nerds, and not a single community do I remember in such a negative light I remember the rust community as. Additionally, people oftentimes dismiss every criticism thrown towards the Rust community as \"you're making it up\" or \"this isn't my experience\", which undermines any open dialogue to be had in my opinion.\n\nOne important thing to note that back in 2021, the whole Rust mod team resigned from their roles (<https://github.com/rust-lang/team/pull/671>) due to \"the Core Team placing themselves unaccountable to anyone but themselves\", which highlights the mess that the Rust structure used to be, and quite possibly still is (although I haven't caught up with any Rust community meta in a long while). This is just sad how Rust community has left such a dirty mark on the whole developer social ecosphere, at least for me, and are like the floating toxic and radioactive shit in the toilet bowl that is full of #RustRewrites and gatekeeping.\n\nSpeaking of rust rewrites, a common occurrence, at least used to be (I don't see as many rewrites nowadays, which is a positive), language Aryanism as I called it above. The C vs Rust discourse feels like \"ViM or Emacs\" discourse back when it was relevant (I don't think anyone really talks about it besides the memes anymore, correct me if I'm wrong). It feels like too many people are too obsessed with the hype of Rust and trying to replace C for like whoever knows what reason. Of course C isn't perfect, far from it, in fact, but Rust community's aggressive push of Rust to replace C by only showing the upsides when disregarding all of its downsides and wastes speaks nothing more to me than language Aryanism.\n\nReminds me of a meme I saw a while ago:\n\n<@:7039b8fd6868afe631aa97acb95222f21a64e1ddee38779142d9f098141bb4c4>\n\nHistorically, they keep trying to replace C, but for what? I know, the tool isn't perfect, but it's *simple*. C is so well-established and simple there's nothing that could truly yet replace it. Regardless, as Linus Torvalds once said -\n\n> To me, Rust was one of those things that made technical sense, but to me personally, even more importantly, we need to not stagnate as a kernel and as developers.\n\nAnd I think it's a nice idea.\n\n## Concern 4: Rust's runtime and compile-time costs\n\nRust is notorious for its terrible compile times, so much so, a whole technical commentary called [mTvare6/hello-world.rs](https://github.com/mTvare6/hello-world.rs) has been made on Rust as a whole, including its large and heavy compile times, large build sizes, dependency hell, and general burdens that come with Rust as well as its costs. Of course, it's a hyperbolised example, but the general idea stays true regardless - its compiler is extremely inefficient and provides huge costs. While caching aids this problem, it's still far from perfect, and the caches tend to get huge as well, wasting more resources.\n\nPer runtime costs, its runtime safety checks can increase the safety of the application, but it comes at a runtime cost to check things, especially for complex applications.\n\nEven a simple example such as\n\n```rs\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\n\nfn main() {\n    let data = RefCell::new(5);\n    let borrow_mut = data.borrow_mut(); // Mutable borrow\n    let borrow = data.borrow(); // Immutable borrow - this will panic at runtime\n}\n```\n\nCreates a lot more cost than in C, which isn't safe, but it crashes regardless, and the crashes you can usually debug using debuggers like `gdb` or writing your own optional runtime abstractions (I've done that in the past for memory debugging). For such things, the best remedy isn't to throw in a bunch of runtime checks, but rather stay aware and implement error checking yourself - which is your job as a developer, though not to say that Rust doesn't make these things easier sometimes with its tooling and error checking insertion, but more often than not it introduces extra costs and noise which quickly adds up.\n\nAnd the Rust compiler itself, even it does so much, doesn't catch such an error for whatever reason:\n\n<@:14a5361b38cd74a9b6d8cd5e2fa63d9ea4a6a813d7780ffb6454a4871ecec996>\n\nAs I mentioned before, this Rust's costs juxtaposition lightweight languages like C or C++, which by default, reducing the overall overhead and making the languages more efficient with less waste.\n\nFurthermore, languages to Rust, while being far from the worst (*cough* JS *cough*), create an environment for having limited ability to create the least wasteful software out there. The tech industry as a whole creates a lot of waste nowadays, and even though one or two projects in the open source space won't make huge of a difference, where I see the problem lie in is the almost mere gaslighting Rust is doing in making companies who use C to switch to Rust, which can accelerate production of waste through electricity wastes in both runtime and compile-time costs, as well as requiring more cooling (which is also wasteful). While on the runtime side the difference may be negligible in release mode, compile time costs are far from it; from personal experience running Gentoo Linux, Rust is ***awful*** in so many ways to compile, so much so that bigger pieces projects written in C seem like a break to my CPU almost.\n\nBut the environmental impact of Rust as a whole is way too early to tell since it's far from well-adopted, although, I believe in the long run this should be considered in the ever-expending that is modern software. Not just the energy required should be considered, but also the storage, the efficiency of the ecosystem, the available optimisations, the costs, and the general impact of the technology.\n\n## Concern 5: Severe fragmentation in the Rust ecosystem\n\nI've noticed that severe fragmentation in the Rust ecosystem often poses challenges for developers and the broader community, because its ambition to span over such wide range of domains leads to a lack of cohesion, unlike in other established languages which have clear niches. Rust's attempt to be a general-purpose language is something I would a pretty impressive attempt to be a fit-all remedy for everything. This lack of cohesion also leads to overwhelming choice and a lack of uniformity, making it hard for developers to navigate and choose appropriate tools and libraries for their projects, resulting in, once again, more waste.\n\nOne of the primary issues stemming from it is the sheer inconsistency in library quality and community support, since, in languages with well-centred purposes it's quite easy to find good libraries for your purpose with great optimisation, as well as great support from experienced people. Where in Rust this often can feel like navigating a maze. Also, Rust's ambitious scope often lead to incomplete implementations of concepts or features that may be crucial for certain applications - or not for others, which is generally a problem with fragmentation.\n\nAdditionally, the challenge of integrating various components within the Rust ecosystem can lead to significant overhead in development processes, which can lead to difficulties, overhead, or other performance issues, as well as increasing the likelihood of bugs.\n\nThis bad fragmentation in the ecosystem is also why I had to download 19 crates to simply generate random numbers, it's not only sad, but it's concerning when with just a little more complexity you have to add more and more dependencies and subdependencies, some of which may even serve a similar purpose. In Rust, more uniformity is a must, or else we will end ourselves in a dependency hell that JavaScript is suffering to this day - and that one is essentially a toy language, in my opinion at least.\n\nHell! Even for basic tasks like random number generation there's over 2000 different libraries to use on crates dot io:\n\n<@:0916be4b05235a7551cffd393b9f92925aaa6695e21c1db6b4ffa0f9a59e76d0>\n\nIt's kind of wild. Of course, diverse approaches are always welcome, but what's the point of all of this? It's time to address the fragmentation, or end up with Rust version of JS' [is-even](https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-even) package, and thousands of others like it.\n\n## Concern 6: Hype around the language\n\nFinally, my last major concern for the language. The hype, which is a theme that kept coming up in this blog post over and over again.\n\nThe current hype around Rust, while diminished compared to three years ago, still influences (mainly new) developers to make hasty decisions regarding adoption. This rush can lead to regrettable choices, particularly when considering the language's integration into critical systems like the Linux kernel, as well as a system that is saturated with people who keep pushing more libraries and stuff and then leave the community because they realise it's not for them, because of the rushed decisions. Aggressive pushes overlook the complexities and potential drawbacks of adopting a relatively new language in established environments.\n\nFurthermore, the promotion of Rust makes me question its longevity: Is it all just hype? Of course, the hype's been around for a bit now, but the adoption stays relatively low, regardless, makes me reconsider is it healthy to push Rust into already such well-established, critical ecosystems like the Linux kernel? The hype not only could lead to technical debt, but it also creates a general scepticism of it, which may accelerate the death of the language or at least stunt its growth and acceptable. Maybe not even *may* - it *does*.\n\nMoreover, the talk about Rust very often emphasizes its specific features, like ownership and borrowing, that promise better safety but at the same time introduce additional complexity, which the same people then sweep under the carpet. This complexity will most likely increase development time and frustration, especially on projects with tight deadlines or when resources are limited. So, was it worth the trade? For many developers, probably not. At least that's my take on it.\n\nThe hyper-optimistic view on rust also creates general negative prejudice, well, attitudes I guess, against Rust developers as a whole like this meme portrays:\n\n<@:86b362afea5c76f61ed65da4762b91fda1a99d302f814b48fbf79a8b1f6bcc94>\n\nI feel the exact same way about it. I'm *tired* of hearing of the \"new and exciting\" and \"how safe it is\" and how \"blazingly fast it is\". I'm tired of the \"rust rewrites\" which take Mona Lisa and produce an A4 piece of paper with the sun drawn at the corner of it (metaphorically). Can we stop being this unrealistic and jump right into it? And maybe it's time to think about its longevity ignoring the hype surrounding it?\n\n## Conclusion\n\nWell, in conclusion, my experience and opinion of Rust, 3+ years later, is still mainly negative. Although, I think I've made it clearer and less bold this time. While I understand that rust has its merits like memory safety, my concern about its various problems like complexity, over-structuring, fragmentation, longevity, and community toxicity still remain significant years later, and I don't think this is going anywhere any time soon, sadly.\n\nI'm glad been given the chance to express my opinion about the Rust programming language, and for now - until next time!",

      "description": "In this blog post, I walk you through a process of installing LineageOS 18.1 with Magisk on Redmi GO (Tiare). I cover various things like recovery, installing, and rooting LineageOS, and later I teach you how to get more swap space for better performance.",
      "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 + TWRP\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    8. 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### TWRP\n\nIf you find yourself stuck, you may try TWRP to recover yourself.\n\nYou can download TWRP recovery at <https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-tiare-twrp-3-3-0-for-redmi-go.3929282/> which I've archived at <https://git.ari.lt/mirror/twrp-3.3.0-tiare>. Then you can simply do the following:\n\n1. Perform a full factory reset in the PixelExperience recovery.\n2. Flash and boot TWRP:\n\n```sh\nfastboot flash recovery recovery.img\nfastboot boot recovery.img\n```\n\n3. Go into Wipe -> Factory reset\n4. Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> Select Dalvik / ART cache, System, Vendor, Data, Internal storage, Cache, and MicroSD. Swipe to wipe.\n5. Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> Go through the aforementioned partitions, and go into 'Repair or Change File System' and try to switch all of them to EXT4. Some of them will not allow you to do that - ignore it.\n6. Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> Select Dalvik / ART cache, System, Vendor, Data, Internal storage, Cache, and MicroSD. Swipe to wipe. (again)\n7. Wipe -> Factory reset\n\nAnd you have a fully fresh system. You might find this useful in general to fully erase the stock ROM; I've noticed it frees up about 2GB. But, if you have issues, do go through TWRP at least once.\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\" at the bottom of your screen :)\n7. Your phone should now be booted into a fresh system. Quickly set it up.\n8. Enable USB debugging as described above.\n\n## Installing PixelExperience recovery for Tiare\n\nNow, we will install the PixelExperience recovery so we could later install the LineageOS ROM. Do the following steps:\n\n1. Fastboot your phone.\n2. Run `fastboot flash recovery PixelExperience-Recovery-tiare-0401.img` (or whatever your `PixelExperience-Recovery-tiare-0401.img` is named)\n3. Run `fastboot boot PixelExperience-Recovery-tiare-0401.img` (I've noticed that `fastboot reboot recovery` doesn't seem to work, so whatever)\n4. When you are in recovery do the following steps:\n    1. Go to \"Factory reset\" using your volume up and down keys to control the selection, and the power button as selection button.\n    2. Select \"Erase data/factory reset\". Wait for it to erase the phone.\n    3. Select \"Wipe cache\". Wait for it to wipe the cache.\n    4. Select \"Wipe system\". Wait for it to wipe the system.\n    5. Go back to the main menu.\n\nDo not exit the recovery yet. Recovery will be required in installing the ROM.\n\n## Installing an unofficial build of LineageOS 18.1 for Tiare\n\nNow, we will install the unofficial ROM for Tiare. Do the following:\n\n1. Ensure you are in recovery.\n2. In recovery, select \"Apply update\", then \"Apply update from ADB\".\n3. Once your phone is waiting for the update, go back to your computer, and run the following command: `adb sideload lineage-18.1-20211012-UNOFFICIAL-tiare.zip`, or however you named your ROM file.\n4. Once the update is applied, boot into LineageOS. Quickly set it up.\n5. After you've set up your temporary LineageOS installation, immediately perform a factory reset (go into settings, search for \"factory\", and click on \"Factory reset\").\n6. Once your phone is reset, set LineageOS up as normal.\n7. Again, enable developer options and USB Debugging as described above - the process is the same.\n\nCongrats. You are now running LineageOS!\n\nNote: Sometimes the SiM card shows up as \"Undetected\" but it works. Ignore the error if it appears :)\n\n## Rooting the phone using Magisk\n\nNow, we will root our phone. This will be useful because Tiare only has 1GB of RAM, so we have to depend on swap space, and without root,\nwe will not be able to have more swap. To root our phone do the following:\n\n1. Install the Magisk app on your phone.\n2. Unzip `lineage-18.1-20211012-UNOFFICIAL-tiare.zip`.\n3. Find `boot.img` and put it onto your phone, for example, `adb push boot.img /storage/emulated/0/` or whatever storage you have or want.\n4. Open the Magisk app on your phone.\n5. Click \"Install Magisk\" (Not the Magisk app).\n6. Select \"Patch file\", and find the aforementioned `boot.img` on your phone.\n7. After Magisk patches the boot.img, the path should be visible on your screen. Use `adb pull /storage/...` to get the `magisk_*.img` file on your computer.\n8. Fastboot your phone.\n9. When your computer is in fastboot, run `fastboot flash boot magisk_*.img` or whatever you name your Magisk-patched boot.img.\n10. Reboot: `fastboot reboot`\n\nNow you have rooted, although, you should also take extra steps:\n\n1. After you reboot into your rooted install, open the Magisk app, and it will ask for extra setup. Allow it to do the extra setup, and it will reboot automatically. Ensure that the phone does not poweroff during the setup.\n2. After you reboot into your now fully set up rooted system, open the Magisk app again, and click \"Install\" (not the app again, but root stuff)\n3. Select \"Direct install\".\n4. Allow it to install internally, and then when it is done, click the \"reboot\" button in the Magisk app.\n5. After your phone boots, you are successfully rooted and set up!\n\n## Installing a Magisk Swap mod for LineageOS\n\nSince Tiare only has 1GB of ram, we probably want more swap. Do the following steps to install swap:\n\n1. Get the source code of <https://github.com/janithcooray/lin_os_swap_mod> onto your computer. (archived at <https://git.ari.lt/mirror/janithcooray-lin_os_swap_mod>)\n    - You can also just skip the building and use my pre-built version: <https://git.ari.lt/mirror/lin_os_swap_mod-1024mb>\n2. Since we don't have a lot of storage to spare, we will only give ourselves 1 extra GB of swap. But this is not a preset, so we have to create our own. Open `config/1024_50_auto.sh` in your favourite code editor.\n3. Make the content of `1024_50_auto.sh` this:\n\n```sh\n# SWAP FILE SIZE [2 - 999999]MB\nSWAP_BIN_SIZE=1024\n# SWAPPINESS [0 - 100]\nSWAPPINESS=50\n# SWAP PRIORITY [-999999 - 999999]\n# 0 Will make it auto\nSWAP_FILE_PRIOR=0\n# VERSION THIS VAIBLE SHOULD COME FROM build script\n# SWAP_MOD_VERSION=\"v2.0-a\"\n```\n\n4. Run `build.sh` to build the modules.\n5. After it builds, in the `release` directory you will have a file named `1024_50_auto.zip`. Put that file on your phone (for instance, using `adb push release/1024_50_auto.zip /storage/...`)\n6. Open Magisk on your phone.\n7. Go into \"Modules\" and then \"Install from storage\".\n8. Select the aforementioned zip file (Magisk module) and install it. Wait it to install.\n9. After it installs, reboot. (this step may take a while)\n\nYou are now done setting up your phone!\n\n## Recommendations\n\nWhen using such a phone, I recommend you get an SD card and set it up as extra storage (not \"Portable storage\") in LineageOS.\nThis will be very useful since after all of the stuff you will only have like 4GB of storage left (out of 8GB).\n\nFurthermore, if you are using an app store, I would suggest [Droid-ify](https://github.com/Droid-ify/client) :)\n\nWhy not F-Droid? Because all apps, if you use SD storage as extra storage (not portable), crash. Well, in my experience at least, all your apps installed from F-Droid (not from `adb`) crash with an error something like this (when running with `adb shell monkey -p 'package name' -v 500` where 'package name' could be like `org.fossify.messages` (see all available ones on your phone using `adb shell pm list packages`)):\n\n```text\n// android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException: Cannot open database '/mnt/expand/<Some UUID>/user/0/<Some package name>/databases/conversations.db': Directory /mnt/expand/<Same UUID>/user/0/<Same app name>/databases doesn't exist\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnection.open(SQLiteConnection.java:252)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnection.open(SQLiteConnection.java:205)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnectionPool.openConnectionLocked(SQLiteConnectionPool.java:505)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnectionPool.open(SQLiteConnectionPool.java:206)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnectionPool.open(SQLiteConnectionPool.java:198)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.openInner(SQLiteDatabase.java:918)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.open(SQLiteDatabase.java:898)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(SQLiteDatabase.java:762)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(SQLiteDatabase.java:751)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper.getDatabaseLocked(SQLiteOpenHelper.java:373)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase(SQLiteOpenHelper.java:316)\n//      at p4.e.i(SourceFile:5)\n//      at p4.e.n(SourceFile:64)\n//      at p4.e.c(SourceFile:24)\n//      at p4.f.b0(SourceFile:10)\n//      at k4.u.b(SourceFile:5)\n//      at mb.b.a(SourceFile:66)\n//      at mb.b.b(SourceFile:12)\n//      at s1.w.run(SourceFile:28)\n//      at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:923)\n// Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException: unknown error (code 14 SQLITE_CANTOPEN): Could not open database\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnection.nativeOpen(Native Method)\n//      at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnection.open(SQLiteConnection.java:224)\n//      ... 19 more\n```\n\nI don't understand why Droid-ify works, but the default F-Droid app does not. I am just as confused as all of you.\n\nAnyway, til next time! Enjoy your DIY smartphone upgrade :)",

      "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\"), endorses the position of US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, advocating that assistance to Ukraine should be structured as loans rather than grants[^6].\n\nThis position, in my opinion is cruel and very unfair, because it shifts the burden of supporting a nation under siege onto the very people who are suffering from the consequences of gruesome attack by Russia. By proposing that aid to Ukraine be provided in the form of loans instead of grants, \u017demaitaitis and his party effectively impose a financial burden on a nation already facing significant difficulties. This strategy not only diminishes the critical need for humanitarian support but also threatens to exacerbate Ukraine's economic troubles, in long run impeding its recovery and long-term stability as a sovereign country. This same logic applies to Trump's goals since it is quite literally the same logic.\n\nThis whole American politics affecting the world politics since it is a global superpower situation is very stupid, I personally don't believe that we won't have any more major conflict until year 2026 by the direction the world is heading in. The European union in general is going into a far-right direction with parties like AfD (German: Alternative f\u00fcr Deutschland), the dawn of Nemunas, National party of France, the polish PiS, and Hungary's Fidesz[^7]. Clearly the people of the EU are not happy, even clearly demonstrated by recent outrage on EC's Mastodon Fediverse instance after congratulating Donald Trump in (in my opinion) a very non-democratic way[^8] (\"warmly\" my ass).\n\nGod forbid Americans vote for a female president, rather watch millions get their rights stripped from them, am I right :D (sarcasm)\n\n## Part two: More about European politics\n\nEuropean politics are also not doing too great as I already mentioned transitioning to this section. I mainly want to address 3 main issues relating to current harsh European political climate. These issues include the far-right radicalism problem of EU[^9], local politics of Lithuania (which I have already mentioned), and how the US is affecting politics are affecting seemingly \"opposite\" Europe.\n\nLet's begin with the far-right problem of Europe, well, I personally believe it to be a problem considering how extreme the policies tend to be. I believe that the rise of such parties, which, personally, I consider wannabe Nazi, is out of paranoid protectionism[^10] of culture, tradition, and sovereignty, as well as economic instability[^9] and [\"owning the libs\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owning_the_libs) essentially.\n\nThis has been a problem before, when in the past historically. Remember the bad party ruled by the guy who hated the Jews? You know, the Nazi party? The history of how it came to rule is a really similar tale.[^11]\n\nIn short, National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), more commonly referred Nazi party, used to be a small party which would only get only about 3% of votes before the onset of Great Depression. During the Great Depression[^11], Germany was at the rock bottom with a terrible economic, political, and social climate. Millions of people unemployed. Their grim situation was further worsened by the defeat in the World War I experiencing a great political turmoil as well as sovereignty problems when the whole world turned their backs against Germany. Consequently, the Nazis took advantage of this, they promised Germany a world with economic and political stability, and if they give them power - Germany will be a great country with their \"superior\" Aryan race being accepted as only greatest race. Germans fell for this strategy, and the rest is history, which you can read about in [the Holocaust encyclopedia](https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/).\n\nSounds familiar doesn't it? Right-ring politicians like the aforementioned Remigijus \u017demaitaitis and Donald Trump, as well as parties and projects like \"Dawn of Nemunas\"[^12] and \"Project 2025\"[^2] respectively promising a better world in the current worsening sociopolitical climate, capitalising on uneducated voters who are blinded by their mirage of a better world, filtering the educated ones by stating outright crazy statements.\n\nWe're now at the start of something really bad, and I believe we should collectively stop this before it is too late. Like Albert Einstein once said:\n\n> I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.\n\nConsidering this, let's take an example of dawn of Nemunas which is very relevant to me since I live in Lithuania, but it also serves as a living ever-developing example of idiocracy in Lithuania and how the EU is going downhill.\n\nThe dawn of Nemunas, also known as Nemuno au\u0161ra in Lithuanian, is, at least to my knowledge, a right-wing nationalist and populist right-wing party[^15] founded by Remigijus \u017demaitaitis in November 11th, 2023 and officially registered in January 16th, 2024. It formed as a result of Pol. Remigijus posting various antisemitic comments on Facebook stating that \"the Jews and Russians\" oppressed Lithuanians in World War II and they they were responsible of the 1944 massacre in Pir\u010diupiai[^5]. The comments were bombed with harsh criticism by Lithuanian citizens and politicians and other important figures, finally, in May 19th of 2023, getting his membership at the Freedom and Justice party of Lithuania terminated. One thing led to another, and then he announced his new party, the Dawn of Nemunas, in November 11th of 2023[^16].\n\nDawn of Nemunas describes itself as centre-left, classic liberal[^19], christian[^12] political party, although by Deutsche Welle[^17] the party is described as a right-wing nationalist party, which I tend to agree with. The party is also doing aggressive advertisement by billboards and posters around Lithuania, I've noticed they put their posters wherever they can just highlighting their extreme strategy - business buildings, apartment buildings, billboards, political boards, everywhere. You cannot go a day without seeing the faces of the pigs that in purely my opinion are trying to be wannabe Nazis. From my experience, most people with at least one (1) braincell are very dissatisfied with them and consider them a joke, although I tend to treat them more like a danger since they elected 3nd[^18] in the election of 2024, this is call for awareness and education, since if this party is elected - Lithuania, as we know it, is fucked.\n\nTheir goals, from my personal research and understanding, are not only stupid, but can also be harmful. Here's a few of them[^20]:\n\n1. Supports establishing a state-owned bank.\n2. Taking state control of state-owned energy company Ignitis.\n3. Rejecting EU's \"green\" agricultural programmes.\n4. Supports concessions for small and medium-sized businesses.\n5. Supports halting reforms in education for 4 years.\n6. They believe that Lithuania\u2019s foreign politics should first serve Lithuanias's own security and interests of its citizens.\n7. Supports suspending sanctions on Russia.\n8. Advocates that assistance to Ukraine should be structured as loans rather than grants.\n\nThis could sound okay at first, but I only see holes and issues in this extremist system:\n\n1. Establishing a state-owned bank could lead to inefficient resource allocation and interference in the financial sector.\n2. Taking state control of Ignitis may reduce operational efficiency and deter private investment in the energy sector.\n3. Rejecting EU green agricultural programmes could majorly hinder Lithuania's progress towards sustainable farming practices and environmental protection.\n4. Excessive concessions for small and medium-sized businesses might create an uneven playing field and potentially reduce overall economic competitiveness.\n5. Halting education reforms for 4 years could impact the development of Lithuania's education system for the worst, potentially leaving students ill-prepared for future challenges, as well as keeping stagnant on an already messy and garbage system.\n6. Prioritizing Lithuania's interests in foreign policy at the expense of broader international cooperation could isolate the country diplomatically.\n7. Suspending sanctions on Russia might undermine Lithuania's security and its solidarity with Ukraine and other European partners.\n8. Restructuring assistance to Ukraine as loans rather than grants could strain Ukraine's future economic recovery and weaken Lithuania's support for its ally. (which I already explained in more detail above).\n\nAnd, you know, after all of this, we have also now deal with the straight up stupid things the US is doing. Trump winning will, as it has before in 2016[^22], further accelerate the surge of extremist far-right parties and movements. As I explained above - this is terrible for everyone. Project 2025 will not only impact the US but also EU as well as most trumpies, i.e. a lot of right-wing politicians, will most likely try follow Trump's steps[^21]. This will be detrimental to the overall worldwide economy, political climate, and, as mentioned before, will be a breeding ground for dictators and Neonazis. I am not happy with this, in fact, I feel terrible about this, and I wish I had the ability to make a huge change to stop this.\n\nConcluding, the current political landscape in Europe is fraught with challenges that threaten the stability and democratic values of the region. I beg for understanding, education, and for you to vote, and make **_the right choice_**, for fucks sake, please, make the right choice. Don't praise or elect wannabe dictators, Nazis, Fascists, or anything of sort. Be human, don't fall for empty claims, stay aware.\n\n## Part three: Behavioural sink\n\nWell, where does this lead us? Behavioural sink.\n\n\"Behavioural sink is a term invented by an American ethologist and behavioral researcher John Bumpass Calhoun, which describes the decline in ethical behaviour with overpopulation and an \"easy living\" lifestyle. This term was invented after conducting an experiment on rats over 4 years when enclosures called \"rat utopias\" filled with essentially unlimited space, food, and water were created to enable an unlimited environment for population growth[^23]. His findings showed that such environment showed maternal neglect, aggression and violence, social withdrawal, and cannibalism - generally finding that moral behaviours have diminished.\n\nThis is very synonymous with today's world and sociopolitical landscape. Today's world is filled with ease when it comes to food, water, and other physical needs. We no longer have to live in families of 50, no longer do we have to socialise with everyone, we don't hunt, we are quite literally the rats that are in this big cage. We kill one another out of boredom seemingly, wars, and whatever the fuck today is. Project 2025 is quite literally a consequence of overpopulation, it is an ever-growing issue which is becoming more and more of a danger - one day, nature will do its thing and we will end up killing ourselves.\n\nPeople need to learn, sadly, even in the blog post from 7 months ago [\"history repeats\"](https://blog.ari.lt/b/history-repeats/) it seems that no-one will ever learn from mistakes, findings, and research. Academia seems like a status thing at this point, a social marker to get higher up the sociological ladder to gain power, control, and most importantly to them - money.\n\nMoral of the story is that, living a simpler life, being human, moral, ethical, and understanding is key. Don't let materialistic things corrupt you, understand your fellow human, don't support Nazis, and think. You are Homo Sapiens, don't become [Homo Sovieticus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_Sovieticus). I know I sound very demanding right now but I truly believe that the education system is doing nothing but making these people dumb so they vote for whatever. You are stronger and smarter than some old white man telling you that he's going to change and reform the world - remember history, remember Hitler, remember Mussolini. Remember history once again, learn from the old mistakes so you don't have to fall victim to them. Don't fall into the dystopia of 1984 or Animal Farm by George Orwell.\n\n## Concluding\n\nConclusion is simple. The current global political climate is rife with extremism and challenges which post significant threats to democratic values and human rights. The rise of far right-ideologies, as seen in recent US presidential elections and rise of nationalist and populist parties in the EU, is signal towards a more dire fate. These developments underscore the importance of staying informed, engaging in meaningful dialogue, and making educated decisions when voting while you can vote, before you elect a dictator. It\u2019s important that we, as Homo Sapiens, learn from history and remain vigilant against mistakes of the past, working collectively to prevent the societal decay, or, in other words, a behavioural sink. By prioritizing empathy, understanding, and ethical behaviour, we can strive towards a more just and inclusive world, but we can also prevent total and utter destruction. It's crucial to resist the allure of simplistic promises and instead focus on building a future that respects human dignity and global cooperation. Remember, your individual actions and choices have the power to contribute to a larger movement towards positive change, stay mindful.\n\nGood luck. I wish all of you the best and to make the right choice.\n\n## Footnotes\n\n[^1]: <https://ig.ft.com/us-elections/2024/results/president/>\n\n[^2]: <https://www.project2025.org/about/about-project-2025/>\n\n[^3]: <https://www.project2025.org/truth/>\n\n[^4]: <https://www.aa.com.tr/en/2024-us-presidential-election/european-leaders-congratulate-trump-on-projected-victory-in-us-presidential-race/3386001>\n\n[^5]: <https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/lietuvoje/2/2013056/zemaitaitis-toliau-zarstosi-antisemitiniais-pareiskimais-piktinasi-premjeres-vizitu-izraelyje-kalba-apie-lietuviu-holokausta>\n\n[^6]: <https://www.intellinews.com/profile-remigijus-zemaitaitis-lithuania-s-new-radical-right-leader-347180/>\n\n[^7]: <https://theconversation.com/eu-elections-far-right-parties-surge-but-less-than-had-been-expected-232018>\n\n[^8]: <https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/113435223810157124>\n\n[^9]: <https://www.iemed.org/publication/the-rise-of-the-far-right-in-europe/>\n\n[^10]: <https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lseupr/2024/02/06/the-creeping-ascent-of-the-far-right-in-mainstream-european-politics-and-how-to-stop-it/>\n\n[^11]: <https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-rise-to-power>\n\n[^12]: <https://nemunoausra.eu/>\n\n[^13]: <https://www.alfa.lt/aktualijos/politika/kylant-r-zemaitaicio-reitingams-naujokai-verziasi-i-prieki-ciniskas-bet-labai-efektyvus-projektas/337686/>\n\n[^14]: <https://www.intellinews.com/profile-remigijus-zemaitaitis-lithuania-s-new-radical-right-leader-347180/>\n\n[^15]: [^13] [^14] [^17]\n\n[^16]: <https://www.biciulis.net/k-bilius-kuriamos-partijos-nemuno-ausra-vicepirmininkas/>\n\n[^17]: <https://www.dw.com/en/lithuanian-president-nauseda-a-socialist-and-moralist/a-69182379>\n\n[^18]: <https://www.vrk.lt/2024-seimo/rezultatai?srcUrl=/rinkimai/1544/1/2150/rezultatai/lt/rezultataiDaugmVrt.html>\n\n[^19]: <https://nemunoau\u0161ra.lt/partijos-nemuno-ausra-valdyba-apibreze-rinkimu-programos-kryptis-ir-diskutavo-del-koalicijos>\n\n[^20]: <https://amp.dw.com/de/kreml-propaganda-bei-den-wahlen-in-litauen/a-70465907>\n\n[^21]: <https://www.eiu.com/n/us-election-its-impact-on-europe/>\n\n[^22]: <https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/1401027>\n\n[^23]: <https://demystifysci.com/blog/2020/7/22/rat-dystopia>",

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\" for any average person.\n\nThis guide, of course, may be applied to other hosting providers, but not everything might be applicable\nor as easy as described here on other hosting providers. The more changes you make on your end, the more\nchanges you will need to make using this guide.\n\nAlso, if you're thinking about switching to HostHatch, consider using my affiliate link at <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. (Or whatever you want as long as the location supports Storage VPSes, if you're planning on using private networking) (a person I know has experienced performance problems using Swedish VPSes, you might want to use another location, it's been fine for me though)\n-   Storage VPS: Storage 1 TB\n    -   1 vCPU core\n    -   1024 MB of RAM\n    -   1000 GB of storage\n        -   Note: If you have a separate OS drive and a storage HDD, I suggest you put swap and all the OS stuff on the OS drive (NVMe hopefully), and the data on the 1 TB HDD formatted using XFS (`UUID=... /mnt/hdd xfs defaults,noatime 0 1` or something) using GPT layout. XFS should increase the performance of the HDD, especially when dealing with a lot of small files (such as in databases). This is how I set it up at least :)\n    -   2500 GB of network bandwidth\n    -   Location: Same one as the processing VPS. (This will be useful when using private networking. You may also follow this guide even if your storage VPS is in a different location, although, there's catches described below)\n\nWe have extremely limited resources on the storage VPS, so we will try to work around that.\n\n## Operating systems & software stack\n\nThis guide should work for pretty much all Linux-based operating systems. Most commonly it is Debian Linux,\nalthough nobody is stopping you from using another distribution, such as Alpine Linux, which may even decrease\nthe resource usage.\n\nPersonally, I chose Debian Linux because it is very versatile and it has huge software repositories. It worked\nfine for me over and over again and I believe it to be a very reliable choice.\n\nIf you use anything other than Debian or Debian-based (such as Ubuntu) - adjust the procedures as needed based\non your software stack.\n\n## Reverse DNS\n\nThis is mainly a convenience feature, but you might want to change the rDNS of your\nHostHatch VPS(es). To change the rDNS of your VPS do the following steps:\n\n1. Log into HostHatch at <https://cloud.hosthatch.com/>.\n2. Go to your server's panel by clicking on its hostname.\n3. Go to the 'Network' tab.\n\nThen:\n\n-   For IPv4\n    1. Click the arrow at the end of the IP row (looks like a gray `>` character at the edge of the row).\n    2. Enter your reverse DNS.\n    3. Press the confirm checkmark.\n-   For IPv6, do the same steps, but for interface ID enter `0` the first time and then `1` the second time. This will ensure the best IPv6 rDNS compatibility: `::0` is oftentimes seen as a placeholder address, while `::1` should be your main IPv6 address. (if you enable IPv6 on HostHatch you get a whole /64 subnet)\n\n## zRAM and Swap space\n\nSwap space is an extra bit of virtual RAM so to say on your computer which your computer can fall back onto if it runs out of RAM.\nzRAM is like swap, although, it is compressed and all in-memory.\n\nzRAM might be useful for the processing VPS as it'll require CPU to compress and decompress the RAM, although, it will allow you to\nget better use out of RAM. While swap might be more useful on the storage VPS due to CPU and memory constraints.\n\nPersonally I have set up zRAM and normal swap (with a lower priority) on the processing VPS, and normal swap on the storage VPS.\n\n### zRAM\n\nFollowing the guide on zRAM on debian.org at <https://wiki.debian.org/ZRam> you can easily set up zRAM as follows:\n\n    apt install zram-tools\n    echo -e \"ALGO=zstd\\nPERCENT=60\" | tee -a /etc/default/zramswap\n    systemctl restart zramswap\n\nThis will allow zRAM to compress up to 60% of your normal RAM using the ZSTD compression algorithm which provides\nfast (de)compression with great compression ratios (around 5:1, which means for every 5 units of data it can compress\nit down to 1 unit).\n\nThis is only useful if you have spare CPU to give as the process will be using your CPU more than just using normal\nswap or just uncompressed RAM.\n\nTo mount it on boot, add this to your `/etc/fstab` file:\n\n    /dev/zram0 none swap sw,pri=100 0 0\n\n### Swap\n\nThere's two main ways of setting swap up on Linux:\n\n-   Swap partition: A separate partition where swap lives. This is faster than a swap file, but might be hard to achieve on a VPS due to having to modify the partition layout while the VPS is live.\n-   Swap file: A normal file on your file system where swap space lives. This is more flexible as you can change the swap size at any point and you don't need to change your partition layout for it.\n\nI, personally, chose a swap file instead for both VPSes. This is how I set it up:\n\n    fallocate -l 4G /swapfile  # You can change the size at your accord\n    chmod 600 /swapfile\n    mkswap /swapfile\n\nAfter doing this, I added this to my `/etc/fstab` on my server:\n\n    /swapfile none swap sw,pri=1 0 0\n\n### Finishing\n\nAfter setting swap up, you may want to reboot. Though in this case it's optional to reboot until the final reboot.\n\n## Private networking\n\nIf you were able to get both your storage VPS and processing VPS in the same location, do the following steps to enable\nand set private networking up. Do this for both of your VPSes:\n\n1. Log into HostHatch at <https://cloud.hosthatch.com/>.\n2. Go to your server's panel by clicking on its hostname.\n3. Go to the 'Network' tab.\n4. Press 'enable private networking'.\n5. Reboot the VPS.\n\nAfter enabling private networking, reboot the VPSes.\n\nAfter rebooting, log into your through ssh and follow the\n[private networking guide by HostHatch](https://docs.hosthatch.com/networking/#private-networking):\n\n1. Log in as root (either by pre-sshing as root or using the `su` command)\n2. Identify the interface name and MAC address using the command `ip -o link | grep 00:22` (the MAC address is the one that starts with `00:22:..`, and interface will usually be `enp2s0` or `eth1`)\n3. Identify the public IPv4 address of your VPS by running `curl -4 ip.me`. Remember the last number. (for example last number of `176.126.70.97` is `97`)\n4. Run `tee /etc/netplan/90-private.yaml` and paste in or type out the following text:\n\n```\nnetwork:\n  version: 2\n  ethernets:\n    [interface name]:\n      addresses:\n        - 192.168.10.[last number of the current server's public IP address]/24\n      match:\n        macaddress: 00:22:xx:xx:xx:xx\n      dhcp4: no\n      mtu: 9000\n```\n\nAfter you are done: press CTRL+D, and then reboot the VPS. (this is required for private networking to take change if running `/usr/sbin/netplan apply` won't work)\n\nNote that `mtu: 9000` is optional. If it causes issues, do proceed to remove it. Although, since HostHatch claims to support jumbo frames in their docs, you should try to enable it, and by enabling it get a ~33% boost in throughput.\n\nNow you have private networking set up between the VPSes.\n\n### No private networking?\n\nNo worries - outside traffic will be blocked using IPTables, although, all the bandwidth will be taken into account while\nusing NFS and the performance might be noticeably worse, especially if the locations are far apart.\n\nIf you decide against private networking: Just use the public IP addresses (the ones you see in your HostHatch UI) rather than private ones after setting up private networking (`192.168.10.*`).\n\n## Firewall with IPTables (storage server)\n\nAfter setting private networking up, you will most likely want to isolate the storage VPS from the rest of\nthe internet to avoid leakage of data. This can be done easily using Iptables and iptables-persistent.\nThis will only cover IPv4 rules, but this can be easily translated into ip6tables as well. I would recommend not\nusing IPv6 on the storage VPS as it is pretty useless in the case of a storage server, and it'll only be more\nwork to manage everything: keep it simple.\n\nFirstly, install the required dependencies:\n\n    apt install iptables iptables-persistent\n\nThen create a script called `iptables.sh` as follows:\n\n    #!/bin/sh\n\n    # Add /usr/sbin to PATH\n    export PATH=\"$PATH:/usr/sbin\"\n\n    # Flush and discard all iptables policies\n    iptables -F\n    iptables -X\n\n    # Set default policies\n    iptables -P INPUT DROP\n    iptables -P FORWARD DROP\n    iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT\n\n    # Accept loopback traffic\n    iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT\n\n    # Accept established and related connections\n    iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT\n\n    # Accept SSH connections on port 22\n    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT\n\n    # Accept TCP connections on NFS ports on server IPs\n    iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.10.[last number of the storage server's public IP address] -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT\n    iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.10.[last number of the processing server's public IP address] -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT\n\n    # Rate limiting for new SSH connections\n    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -m recent --set\n\n    # Drop SSH connections if more than 5 attempts occur within 60 seconds\n    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 5 -j DROP\n\n    # Drop invalid packets\n    iptables -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP\n\n    # Accept loopback traffic for outgoing connections\n    iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT\n\n    # Save iptables rules\n    iptables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v4\n\nYou may also want to add the following rules as well to block IPv6 traffic:\n\n    # Block IPv6\n    ip6tables -F\n    ip6tables -X\n    ip6tables -P INPUT DROP\n    ip6tables -P OUTPUT DROP\n    ip6tables -P FORWARD DROP\n    ip6tables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v6\n\nAfter creating this script, go into your HostHatch console and do this:\n\n1. Click on your server's hostname.\n2. Go into the 'Console' tab.\n3. Log in as root.\n4. Run the script.\n5. Enable the `netfilter-persistent` service: `systemctl enable netfilter-persistent`\n\nYou should do it this way because you may experience connection issues while applying these IPTables rules.\n\nThis script will protect your VPS from brute-force attacks on the SSH port and it'll cut off the VPS from\nthe rest of the internet for the most part.\n\n### Sysctl for disabiling IPv6\n\nIf you want to truly disable IPv6, you will need to edit `/etc/sysctl.conf` and add this to it:\n\n    net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1\n    net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1\n\nAfter which, run this as root to apply the settings:\n\n    sysctl -p\n\nNow absolutely no IPv6 traffic will be available in the storage VPS.\n\n### Firewall with IPTables (processing server)\n\nIf you want IPTables rules for your processing VPS, especially if you also allow IPv6, you are free to use\nmy `fw.sh` script located at <https://gist.github.com/TruncatedDinoSour/e0c0c5076448a09c68ff50b00fbfab2b>:\n\n    #!/bin/sh\n\n    set -eu\n\n    main() {\n        for ip in iptables ip6tables; do\n            echo '----------------------------------------------------------------'\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Setting up iptables rules...\"\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Flushing all rules...\"\n            \"$ip\" -F\n            \"$ip\" -X\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Allowing established connections...\"\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Allowing loopback interface...\"\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT\n            \"$ip\" -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Allowing SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, Email federation, Matrix federation, and XMPP federation on tcp...\"\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT                                                 # SSH\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT                                                 # HTTP\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT                                                # HTTPS\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 25,465,587,143,993,110,995,2525,4190 -j ACCEPT # Email federation\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8448 -j ACCEPT                                               # Matrix federation\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 5222,5269,5223,5270,5281 -j ACCEPT             # XMPP federation (without 5280 which is HTTP (not HTTPS))\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Rate limiting SSH traffic on tcp...\"\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -m recent --set\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 5 -j DROP\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Dropping invalid packets on tcp...\"\n            \"$ip\" -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state INVALID -j DROP\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Dropping other traffic...\"\n            \"$ip\" -P INPUT DROP\n            \"$ip\" -P FORWARD DROP\n\n            echo \"[$ip] Rules:\"\n            \"$ip\" -vL\n\n            echo '----------------------------------------------------------------'\n        done\n\n        echo '[ICMP] Allowing ICMP...'\n        iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT\n        ipiptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT\n        ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT\n        ip6tables -A OUTPUT -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT\n\n        echo '----------------------------------------------------------------'\n\n        echo '[iptables-save] Saving rules...'\n        iptables-save | tee /etc/iptables/rules.v4\n\n        echo '----------------------------------------------------------------'\n\n        echo '[ip6tables-save] Saving rules...'\n        ip6tables-save | tee /etc/iptables/rules.v6\n\n        echo 'Meoww :3 done'\n    }\n\n    main \"$@\"\n\nMake sure no iptables or ip6tables rules are set on the server already so they don't get flushed and you experience\nnetworking problems.\n\n### IPSet\n\nFor blocking IPs, such as very spammy ones, you may want to use the [ipset utility](https://manpages.debian.org/buster/ipset/ipset.8.en.html) which is used for managing IPSets. To set it up you will have to do the following:\n\n    apt install ipset ipset-persistent\n\n    # IPv4\n    ipset create blacklist hash:ip\n    ipset add blacklist <ipv4>\n    ...\n    iptables -I INPUT -m set --match-set blacklist src -j DROP\n\n    # IPv6\n    ipset create blacklist6 hash:net hashsize 4096 family inet6\n    ipset add blacklist6 <ipv6>\n    ...\n    ip6tables -I INPUT -m set --match-set blacklist6 src -j DROP\n\n    # Save IPSets\n    ipset save >/etc/iptables/ipsets\n    systemctl enable netfilter-persistent\n\nAt the end, don't forget to either save your IPTables and IP6Tables rules or add the rules to `rules.v*` as follows:\n\nFor v4:\n\n    *filter\n    :INPUT DROP [0:0]\n    :FORWARD DROP [0:0]\n    :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]\n    -A INPUT -m set --match-set blacklist src -j DROP\n\nFor v6:\n\n    *filter\n    :INPUT DROP [0:0]\n    :FORWARD DROP [0:0]\n    :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]\n    -A INPUT -m set --match-set blacklist6 src -j DROP\n\nIgnore the first 4 lines, what I am trying to show is that it must be before all other rules to effectively drop all traffic from blocked IPs.\n\nNow, you can proceed to monitor abusive IPs, for instance like using [fail2ban](https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban) or monitoring various things like `/var/log/btmp`, for example, to see the IPs that tried to brute force your SSH, you can try to run the following command:\n\n    lastb -a | awk '{print $10}' | grep -v ^192 | sed '/^$/d' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 32\n\nThis will print the top 32 IPs which have tried to brute force SSH to try to get in. I, personally, blocked the most abusive ones (with the most brute force attempts) after collecting data over 3 or so months.\n\nYou may also try to integrate things like [IPAbuseDB](https://www.abuseipdb.com/) or something, which is another can of worms I probably won't get into for now. You can read an article like <https://www.abuseipdb.com/fail2ban.html> to integrate it yourself based off the official documentation :)\n\n## NFS (storage server)\n\nIn this section, we will set up nfs-kernel-server on the _storage_ server.\n\nFirstly do the prerequisite steps:\n\n1. Make sure you are logged in as root.\n2. Install the required dependencies: `apt install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common`\n3. Create the shared exports directory, I personally chose `/share/nfs`: `mkdir -p /share/nfs`\n4. Set up the correct ownership for the directories: `chown nobody:nogroup -R /share`\n5. Set up the correct permissions for the directories: `chmod 755 -R /share`\n6. Enable the NFS service: `systemctl enable nfs-kernel-server`\n\nNow, simply export the NFS share by editing `/etc/exports`:\n\n    /share/nfs 192.168.10.[last number of processing server's public IP](rw,sync,no_subtree_check,async)\n\nIf you are going to be using this share for database storage, make sure to remove the `async` flag as that may\nlead to data loss and/or corruption. I do that with PostgreSQL:\n\n    /share/<postgres path> 192.168.10.[last number of processing server's public IP](rw,sync,no_subtree_check)\n\nNext, simply export the filesystems:\n\n    exportfs -a\n\nAnd start the NFS service:\n\n    systemctl start nfs-kernel-server\n\nNow, for the next steps, verify the available NFS versions:\n\n    $ cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions\n    +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2\n\nRemember the biggest number that has a `+` in front of it.\n\nYou have successfully set NFS up on the storage server! The NFS server will only be accessible by\npurely the processing server and noone else.\n\n## NFS (processing server)\n\nNow, we are going to set up NFS and Cachefilesd on the processing VPS.\n\nFirstly do the prerequisite steps:\n\n1. Open `/etc/fstab`.\n2. Edit your `/` mount to have the following mount options: `rw,discard,errors=remount-ro,x-systemd.growfs,user_xattr,acl`.\n3. Reboot the VPS.\n4. Make sure you are logged in as root.\n5. Install the required dependencies: `apt install nfs-common`\n6. Make the NFS mountpoint: `mkdir -p /mnt/nfs`\n7. Set up correct ownership: `chown nobody:nogroup /mnt/nfs`\n8. Set up the correct permissions: `chmod 755 /mnt/nfs`\n\nNow open up your `/etc/fstab` and add this:\n\n    192.168.10.[last number of the storage server's public IP]:/share/nfs /mnt/nfs nfs4 defaults,fsc,noatime,nodiratime,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target,timeo=600,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,hard,intr,nfsvers=[latest version of NFS available, such as 4.2],namlen=255,proto=tcp,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.10.[last number of the processing server's public IP],local_lock=none,addr=192.168.10.[last number of the storage server's public IP] 0 0\n\nFor database storage, you may want to modify these options to:\n\n    192.168.10.[same]:/share/[database path] /var/lib/[database path] nfs4 defaults,fsc,noatime,nodiratime,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target,timeo=600,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,hard,intr,nfsvers=[same],namlen=255,proto=tcp,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.10.[same],local_lock=none,addr=192.168.10.[same] 0 0\n\nDon't yet do anything. First, we will set Cachefilesd up (`fsc` mount option). This will give us better performance by being able to utilize the mass storage of the HDD server and the performance of the NVMe server:\n\n1. Install Cachefilesd: `apt install cachefilesd`.\n2. Edit `/etc/cachefilesd.conf` if needed. (or just use default configuration - it is okay)\n3. Edit `/etc/default/cachefilesd` and change the `RUN=no` to `RUN=yes`.\n4. Start and enable the cachefilesd service: `systemctl enable --now cachefilesd`.\n5. Check the status, and debug if needed: `systemctl status cachefilesd`.\n6. Done. You should now reboot the VPS.\n\nNFS is now successfully set up with caching. You can use the mountpoint as any mounted filesystem.\n\n## SSHD (SSH daemon) configuration\n\nOn the processing VPS you may want to use the following configuration **only after adding an unprivileged user, adding your public ssh key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, and testing it** for best security and access management:\n\nFirst run `rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* && dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server` and then edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`:\n\n    ...\n    Port 22\n    AddressFamily any\n    ...\n    SyslogFacility AUTH\n    LogLevel INFO\n    ...\n    PermitRootLogin no\n    ...\n    MaxAuthTries 3\n    ...\n    PubkeyAuthentication yes\n    ...\n    AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys\n    ...\n    IgnoreRhosts yes\n    ...\n    PasswordAuthentication no\n    PermitEmptyPasswords no\n    ...\n    KbdInteractiveAuthentication no\n    ...\n    UsePAM yes\n    ..\n    AllowAgentForwarding no\n    AllowTcpForwarding no\n    ...\n    X11Forwarding no\n    ...\n    PrintMotd no\n    ...\n    TCPKeepAlive no\n    ...\n    UseDNS no\n    ...\n    Banner none\n    ...\n    AcceptEnv none\n    ...\n    Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server\n    ...\n    ChallengeResponseAuthentication no\n\n    KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256\n\n    Ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr\n\n    MACs hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,umac-128@openssh.com\n\n    AuthenticationMethods publickey\n\n    HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key\n    HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key\n    HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key\n\n    AllowUsers <unprivileged users allowed to SSH into the server>\n\nIf you also run a git server you may want to restrict it even more:\n\n    Match User git\n        X11Forwarding no\n        AllowTcpForwarding no\n        AllowAgentForwarding no\n        PermitTTY no\n        AuthorizedKeysFile /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys\n        PermitTunnel no\n        ClientAliveInterval 300\n        ClientAliveCountMax 0\n\nWhen it comes to client configuration, you may just take one from [Mozilla SSH standards](https://infosec.mozilla.org/guidelines/openssh) pretty much:\n\n    ServerAliveInterval 60\n    HashKnownHosts yes\n    HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com,ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com,ssh-ed25519,ssh-rsa,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521-cert-v01@openssh.com,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384-cert-v01@openssh.com,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256\n    KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256\n    MACs hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,umac-128@openssh.com\n    Ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr\n\nOn the storage VPS you may want to have a singular unprivileged user and only allow traffic from IPv4 (`AddressFamily inet`).\nYou may also want to specify a `Banner /etc/issue` to show a legal disclaimer by overwriting the issue and motd files in etc.\nFeel free to take this one:\n\n    ********************************************************************************\n    *                       WARNING: AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY                        *\n    ********************************************************************************\n    *                                                                              *\n    * You are accessing a private computer system owned by .......... and operated *\n    * under the domain .......

I'll break down the specifications from RFC 7929, guide you through creating your own OPENPGPKEY record generator, and highlight common mistakes to avoid that were made by others. 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.  The domain name (the \"right-hand side\" of the email address,\n>        called the \"domain\" in [RFC5322]) is appended to the result of\n>        step 2 to complete the prepared domain name.\n>\n>    For example, to request an OPENPGPKEY resource record for a user\n>    whose email address is \"hugh@example.com\", an OPENPGPKEY query would\n>    be placed for the following QNAME: \"c93f1e400f26708f98cb19d936620da35\n>    eec8f72e57f9eec01c1afd6._openpgpkey.example.com\".  The corresponding\n>    RR in the example.com zone might look like (key shortened for\n>    formatting):\n>\n>    c9[..]d6._openpgpkey.example.com. IN OPENPGPKEY \\<base64 public key\\>\n\nBased off this part alone pretty much, I made a shell script that generated\na valid output! It is located at <https://gist.github.com/TruncatedDinoSour/a0874bf1e90647a9a49985e531d9d15f>\nlicensed under the public domain (CC0) and it looks like this:\n\n    #!/usr/bin/env sh\n\n    ...\n\n    set -eu\n\n    main() {\n        if [ \"$#\" -ne 2 ]; then\n            {\n                echo \"Generates an OPENPGPKEY DNS record based off your Email and a Public GPG key ID.\"\n                echo \"Usage: $0 <email> <GPG key ID>\"\n            } >&2\n            return 1\n        fi\n\n        # Confirm user localpart\n\n        localpart=\"$(printf -- '%s' \"$1\" | cut -d'@' -f1 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')\"\n\n        printf -- \" * Your email username (localpart) is '\\033[1m%s\\033[0m', correct?

It exports solely the key by using\nGPG options, ignoring all attributes and only exporting the essential parts of the key, and then encoding it in a single-line\nof base64.\n\nAfter which, we just print out the DNS record in a pretty way :D\n\n    <SHA-256 hex hash of the lowercase localpart truncated to 56 characters>._openpgpkey. IN OPENPGPKEY <base64-encoded public GPG/OpenPGP key>\n\nAnd now, you can even verify my key this way by checking the OPENPGPKEY record on `d2efaa6dd6ae6136c19944fae329efd3fb2babe1e6eec26982a422aa._openpgpkey.ari.lt` - this is for `ari@ari.lt` :)\n\nPeace \u270c",

There's many negative things floating around like \"Is Contabo a scam?\" and \"Contabo has terrible uptime\" in relation to it, a lot of horror stories - so I am here to share my own experience.",
      "content": "Hello, World,\n\nLet's get the boring stuff out of the way before the introduction:\nThis blog post constitutes an independent review and is not endorsed, sponsored, or affiliated with Contabo GmbH in any official or unofficial capacity.\nNo endorsement, partnership, or any form of affiliation with Contabo GmbH is implied or should be inferred from the content presented herein.\nThe author disclaims all liability for any errors or omissions in this information and for its availability. **TL;DR** This is my honest opinion, experience, and research: not fact. Your experience may differ from mine.\n\nI've been using [Contabo](https://contabo.com/) and their services (more specifically, their [Cloud VPS services](https://contabo.com/en/vps/))\nfor over 8 months now as of originally writing this, in which period I've upgraded VPS plans 3 times. What I've noticed when considering\nusing Contabo as my hosting provider before fully committing to Contabo is that there's no good and concrete\ninformation about Contabo experiences besides a few negative experiences which don't help that much as they seem\nlike extraordinary cases. My goal with this blog post is to provide a detailed report of my experience,\nshare knowledge, tips, and whether or not _you_ should go for Contabo or not when deciding to host your\napps on their servers.\n\nEven though the majority of this blog post is my own personal experience, I've taken a few bits from sites\nlike LowEndTalk and Reddit, from experiences that do seem to be legit - this found knowledge was mainly\napplied in the <#:Tips> section of the post. 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 course this depends on the billing method - PayPal is almost instant, but I've decided to move onto direct bank transfers, which take up to a week even. As any other billing question - they handled this type of question very well as well.\n-   Upgrading problems issues (main culprit of large downtime): Contabo's upgrading system, from my experience, is terrible, slow, and full of problems. This is the only thing I truly hate about Contabo. I don't understand how upgrading a VPS could take 12, or even 60 hours. I can upgrade my Qemu VM as fast as just changing a couple of parameters - what are they doing that takes _this_ long? Shouldn't they have an automated system? It's (probably) literally a VM which is clear by what the OS reports and the VMM steal.\n    -   First upgrade (VPS S (1) SSD => VPS M (2) SSD): 16 or so hours of downtime (unlike their promised \"15 minutes of downtime\" at the time with the \"Live Upgrade\" option), they messed up my network configuration (if I remember correctly), and they did not make it clear that I'll need to expand the storage space myself before the upgrade nor in the upgrade notification. Thankfully, after contacting their support, they fixed the networking and clarified that I need to expand the storage myself while the VPS was live (which, in my opinion, is dangerous and should be handled by Contabo, but I respect that they give full control to the owner). They linked to this article: <https://contabo.com/blog/changing-partition-layout-vps-installation/?utm_source=support&utm_medium=email> (at least keep the `utm_source` GET parameter so it doesn't render the article weird).\n    -   Second upgrade (VPS M (2) SSD => VPS L (3) SSD): This upgrade is pretty recent and it caused about 60 hours of downtime if not more, and not only that - it took me FIVE (5) TRIES TO CONTACT THEIR SUPPORT just to get an automated response. After the automated response I got \"we don't see your upgrade request\" and a few minutes later \"yep, never mind! It's done - we're working on finalizing it.\" I was so close to leaving Contabo at that point, it wouldn't be the first nor the last time I considered leaving it.\n-   DDoS protection (very recent attack on ari.lt): Recently the server has been attacked by a DDoS attack, or `\"Unfortunately, it is impossible to resolve this problem by regular means. We will do anything possible to protect your server from attacks. However, this attack is a massive one, which requires a lot of resources. <...> In this case, there is only one last resort: Not to block the attacking IP addresses (of which there might be myriad) but to block the attacked IP address. As already mentioned, this is the last thing we would ever do, but the stability of our network for other customers must be maintained by all means, and our hands are tied in this matter: We had to take action, and had to suspend access to your server.\"` according to Contabo. They limited my VPS over and over (I think around 10 times) again which caused me bad anxiety, purely out of my own inability to be patient and control my emotions. Their support was super slow to respond, so much so I thought they were ignoring me on purpose. At one point my anxiety, paranoia, and exhaustion got so bad I was having extremely painful panic attacks and was basically begging them to give me all the data on the VPS to me so I could move to other hosting providers. Once I got in touch with the support properly, they were understanding despite all my anxiety and handled the ticket fine. They made a decision to move my VPS to another location (If I remember correctly, Frankfurt to D\u00fcsseldorf) and ever since then it's been fine. I didn't track how much downtime this caused, but it was definitely an unreasonable amount of spotty uptime. This incident greatly impacted my mental health at the time (which isn't due to Contabo directly per say, but mainly their slowness to respond in combination with my inability to control such feelings).\n-   **Edit 2024-08-01** - Networking issues: My VPS was throttled to 10 Mbit/s for no reason [despite them claiming always 100 Mbit/s availability](https://contabo.com/blog/vps-100-mbits-limit-throttling/). The experience was terrible: Firstly, I got requested login information into the server, after they did, I gave them access, though backtracked once I realised that there could be unexpected charges related to it in the future. They then just moved my VPS to a different location giving me more downtime. This was my last straw - I am tired of downtime.\n\nDespite these negative experiences which might make Contabo seem terrible in retrospect due to these isolated incidents, I don't plan of switching away from Contabo,\nat least not at the moment. I like them for the most part, but god forbid you need urgent support from their side - it's absolutely terrible.\nEspecially when it's people like me who have various problems with control of anxiety and paranoia (this is not Contabo's fault of course). Understandable that\nthey need to sacrifice on support though - they're cheap, and how are you going to make the ends meet if you don't compromise something?\n\nConsider this if you oftentimes need urgent support and plan to run anything enterprise. Support on Contabo is\nslow, and it's just fact. Sometimes you might get a fast response, but expect them to respond in 2-4 working days\nif you're contacting them.\n\nAlso, even though I'm not a support representative of Contabo, if you have any questions about Contabo or anything to me as a Contabo\ncustomer, even the technical ones, you're free to contact me. But please, for the love of god, **don't send me any personal information**\nabout yourself, your server, or just in general. I can help with like system administration questions, setup questions, tips, experience questions,\netc. though I really cannot help with things that are truly confirmed to be on Contabo's end, I can help you theorise, but I can't\nreplace Contabo's support. Contact me through contacts listed on my website at <https://ari.lt/> or at <https://blog.ari.lt/b/contact-me/> :)\n\n(By the way, I've heard that phone support is useless. At least I can't even reach them, but I've heard it's bad in general (A few experiences list this, for example <https://www.reddit.com/r/VPS/comments/1b6m2er/do_not_use_contabo_for_anything_important/>))\n\n## VPS performance\n\nThis section might not be universal amongst all products of Contabo, including VPS plans (or even same plans!).\nI'm talking from my experience in using Contabo's Europe (Germany) location with the first 3 tiers Contabo provides with the SSD option:\n\n1. VPS S (1) SSD (hosted at Frankfurt, if I remember correctly)\n2. VPS M (2) SSD (hosted at Frankfurt, if I remember correctly)\n3. VPS L (3) SSD (hosted at D\u00fcsseldorf)\n\nAnd, in my opinion, the performance of Contabo VPSes is fine. Network performance is lacking sometimes, but even that I don't really\nhave a big issue with. If Contabo upgraded their network infrastructure, it'd honestly be really good when it comes to performance.\n\nThough, I think they oversell due to CPU steal. I mean, I don't really care, the steal is only like 1% on average, and the prices are crazy\ncheap so it's like _fine_, though I don't think they make it clear enough that you will experience up to 15% (maximum I've ever\nobserved) VMM steal if you use their Cloud VPS services. You can check the CPU steal like this:\n\n    sar 1 <SECONDS> | grep \"Average\" | awk '{print $7}'\n\nWhere `<SECONDS>` is the time period it checks. `sar` is a command from [the sysstat package](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sysstat).\n\nSo, unless you need very good performance network-wise, I think Contabo is an okay choice, especially considering how cheap their products\nare - truly a steal.\n\n### Hardware\n\nCurrently, on my VPS L (3) SSD (hosted at D\u00fcsseldorf) I pay for this hardware:\n\n-   Host: KVM/QEMU (Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) pc-i440fx-7.2)\n-   CPU: AMD EPYC 7282 (8) @ 2.794 GHz\n-   Memory: 24031 MiB\n-   Network: 450-600 Mbit/s download, 450-600 MBit/s upload\n-   SSD: 1.2 TB\n    -   Read\n        -   Bandwidth: 50.1 MiB/s\n        -   Read operations per second: 12800\n        -   Latency: 76.92 microseconds\n    -   Write\n        -   Bandwidth: 5229 KiB/s\n        -   Write operations per second: 1307\n        -   Latency: 762.80 microseconds\n    -   Note that they are known to cap the disk speed (according to <https://www.reddit.com/r/VPS/comments/12wejmb/comment/jhew7z6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button>), it's been fine for me, but if it's not for you, contact their support whether by the Contabo UI or email `support[at]contabo.com` and ask for the cap to be lifted. I've heard so at least - don't quote me on that.\n\n## Downtime\n\nI haven't experienced any downtime of the VPS itself randomly due to fault of Contabo personally.\nI don't understand these internet bad experiences where they say they have downtime every week or so -\nthat's false, well, in my case it is.\n\nMost downtime I've experienced was from the DDoS and upgrades. Though, I've also had issues with their DNS recently.\n\nContabo DNS (the one they ship by default in `/etc/resolv.conf`) has been going down a lot recently for me,\ncausing networking on my VPS to malfunction. I've switched to [Quad9 DNS](https://quad9.net/) by adding these lines to the top\nof `/etc/resolv.conf`:\n\n    nameserver 9.9.9.9\n    nameserver 149.112.112.112\n\nAs in, before all the Contabo DNS stuff:\n\n    nameserver 9.9.9.9\n    nameserver 149.112.112.112\n    domain ...contabo...\n    search ...contabo...\n    nameserver ...contabo...\n    nameserver ...contabo...\n\nYou should too if you don't want weird DNS downtime sometimes. Everything else, though, has been fine for the most part.\nIt's weird how they don't report such downtimes properly at <https://contabo-status.com/>, at least I don't see it, might be blind though.\n\nI've also had issues with IPv6, it's _extremely_ slow for me, so I'm just avoiding it on my server.\nIf you choose to enable IPv6, do so by running the alias Contabo provides by default in `/root/.bashrc`:\n\n    alias enable_ipv6='sed -i \"/net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6.*/d\" /etc/sysctl.conf && sysctl -q -p && echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6'\n\nI.e just run `enable_ipv6` (though you _might_ need to reboot). After you enable IPv6, of course, update `/etc/resolv.conf` to use Quad9 on IPv6 as well:\n\n    nameserver 9.9.9.9\n    nameserver 149.112.112.112\n    nameserver 2620:fe::fe\n    nameserver 2620:fe::9\n\n## Skill level\n\nIf you're going into Contabo, you need to have skills in systems administration - they barely provide anything through UI.\nSome people, such as I, like that. But if you're looking for something more 'high-level' and through UI go for something else.\nContabo gives you bare bones, and I genuinely like that. I respect that they're sticking to bare minimum as I really do like\nminimalism like this.\n\nIt'd be nice if they provided out-of-the-box UI-configurable firewalls, but it's fine, I guess. Install UFW or\nsomething and it'll be enough for the most part I think.\n\nTheir DDoS protection is close to useless as well so you might want to also set up Cloudflare,\nthough there's other reasons to why to not use Cloudflare - there's many reasons why you shouldn't man-in-the-middle\nyourself with a free service a corporate entity provides, especially if you care about privacy, though this isn't a Cloudflare post,\nso guess find your own reasons and draw your own conclusions.\n(for starters, even though I don't agree with all the Stallman's words, this gives valid reasons - <https://stallman.org/cloudflare.html>)\n\nJust be warned that you're basically on your own, with a helping hand of slow support and an outdated dashboard.\n\n## Should I use Contabo?\n\nIf you're considering Contabo, you're probably looking for something cheap, and Contabo sure is\ncheap, but you get what you pay for. In my opinion: yes, but no. If there are other reasons why\nyou wouldn't use any other competing hosting provider such as Netcup (The internet highlights their aggressive billing policy,\nKYC process, etc.), Hetzner (The internet highlights their aggressive KYC, shutting VPSes down randomly), or\nHostHatch (From what I see, low storage and whatnot) - Contabo is an okay choice, wouldn't be my first one,\nbut it's the best choice on the market if you feel restricted over other hosting providers.\n\nThough consider long-run of Contabo. These are factors you should consider in my opinion:\n\n-   Are you okay possibly having 3 days of downtime due to some action you took on the VPS such as upgrading?\n-   Are you okay with suboptimal performance?\n-   Are you skilled enough to manage a raw system basically on your own? (though I'm sure you can do it if you managed a server before)\n-   Are you okay with slow support?\n-   Are you okay with an outdated panel with basic functionality?\n\nAnd consider that when setting up a Contabo VPS you will be forced to pay a setup fee. If you just get\na 1 month contract you will have to pay double the price of the VPS for the first month as the setup fee is\nthe price of the VPS. I find this concept funny though - it takes _nothing_ to set a VM up besides run a\nsingle command through Qemu or more realistically Proxmox. Goofy.\n\nOne thing to also consider is long-term commitment. Would I recommend Contabo long-term? No. Hard no.\n\nBut before setting up a VPS read the <#:Tips> section of this post!\n\n## What's good about Contabo?\n\nPretty much really good prices for resources you get with okay performance. I don't think any hosting provider\nwill ever beat the prices and production of Contabo. They also run on green energy as stated in the\n[sustainability page at contabo.com](https://contabo.com/en/sustainability/) which is a huge positive and more hosting providers should take\nContabo as an example in this case. I also like that they provide a bare bones VPS, even though features like\ngood DDoS protection and a firewall would be nice, I believe Contabo is respectable in this sector.\n\n## What's bad about Contabo?\n\nI found support to be slow, I felt and found experiences online that describe some of their billing methods as \"unexpected costs\"\n(or as people usually seem to describe it online - \"hidden fees\", even though it's not an accurate label),\nsome of them discussed in the <#:Tips> section (some stuff I found online through research online), the network performance is suboptimal,\nand the stability of it could be questionable at times. There's really not much particularly bad or good about Contabo - it's really bare bones. It being\nbare-bones also means there's a lack of community resources and shared experiences\n(including discussion of the contract, exactly why the \"unexpected costs\" mentioned in this post aren't well-known) and whatnot.\n\nAlso, be prepared for stress if you choose Contabo. Contabo's slow nature has caused immense stress for me\na couple of times. It sucks, but it's over for now. Hey, at least I get a cheap way to host all of ari.lt for\na good price without going broke.\n\n## Tips\n\nI've gained some knowledge when using Contabo and doing research about it online, here's how to mitigate its weirdness from my and online people's experience:\n\n-   Avoid Contabo if you can find another hosting provider that fits your needs and abilities. I've done extensive research and Contabo was the only one that really sold me.\n-   Use the European locations if you can, the latency seems the best there and other locations cost extra. Of course, they support more locations <https://contabo.com/en/locations/>.\n-   Based on various online sources: be wary of other \"unexpected costs\". They are costs that I feel like aren't as well discussed online and could be considered unexpected by me and other people online (who usually refer to it as \"hidden fee\" but I feel like that's not fully accurate due to Contabo not trying to intentionally hide them) which might apply to you, such as described below. I've mainly been able to find them from online people's experiences as Contabo resources are pretty hard to navigate for me, based on not that old user experiences:\n    -   Extra IP address cost: 3.5 euro a month (as seen on their billing page), which could be considered pretty expensive (<https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/169239/contabo-extra-ip-price-too-expensive>).\n    -   Late response fee for abuse emails: 15 euro (<https://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1773579&p=10166467#post10166467>)\n    -   Reactivation fee (for example if they suspend your VPS and you want to reactivate it after you've paid for it): 15 (or 30 euro? I'm unsure, I've seen both talked about online, worst case scenario is talked about in <https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/163644/contabo-what-the-f>, exact amount does not seem to be listed in [Contabo's terms and conditions document](https://contabo.com/en/legal/terms-and-conditions/) clause 4 (\"Payment terms\"))\n    -   Remote-hand support, which might be relevant when support wants to connect to the server, possibly? I don't know. Ask them if this happens. The fee is: 27.5 euro/15 minutes (<https://help.contabo.com/en/support/solutions/articles/103000270003-can-i-get-support-for-software-on-my-server->)\n    -   Setup & location fees, but those aren't really unexpected nor hidden as they're pretty clearly defined and sane on the billing page.\n-   Make sure to stay up to date with \"Clause 4: Payment terms\" and other terms and conditions of Contabo at <https://contabo.com/en/legal/terms-and-conditions/>.\n-   Use a firewall and a DDoS protection script if possible as Contabo doesn't seem to have any firewall and their DDoS protection is pretty useless.\n-   Maybe don't use Contabo's DNS that's shipped by default as you might face issues with it. Instead try to use Quad9, Cloudflare, Google's, or any other DNS provider in priority just in case.\n-   Avoid non-Linux operating systems - don't make your life harder than it has to be, especially at Contabo. Choose to install the latest version of Debian or something.\n    -   Stay up to date with security of course, no firewall will make you more vulnerable. On Debian prioritize the `debian-security` repository.\n    -   Also set up SSH and other access in a way where it enhances the security, use just SSH keys and whatnot. <https://infosec.mozilla.org/guidelines/openssh> is a helpful resource.\n-   Avoid enabling IPv6 due to extremely degraded performance (in my experience). You can of course try, maybe it's been fixed, but when I tried it a few months ago, it was bad.\n-   Before contacting Contabo support diagnose the issue as good as possible, provide as much information as possible and you're comfortable with sending over over an unencrypted channel in relation to that topic, and try to resolve the issue yourself. This is all pretty obvious, but this especially is the case in case of Contabo. Reminder that the response times are even worse during holidays and weekends, so if you're facing any issue try to move as quick as possible. Also join tech support communities and ask people who are willing to answer (like me) for resolution help.\n-   When upgrading your VPS, expect a bunch of downtime - that's normal for Contabo. After upgrading, you will have to extend the main partition yourself live so stop all services running on your server after upgrading and use cfdisk or something (such as <https://contabo.com/blog/changing-partition-layout-vps-installation/?utm_source=support&utm_medium=email>) to extend your storage you pay for. Then reboot after you're done.\n-   Prefer to contact Contabo support through the UI rather than email, their email stuff seems to sometimes have weird issues (such as not acknowledging you as being you?) so using UI will help to ensure there's no room for error. Use the link <https://my.contabo.com/?support> after logging into the Contabo panel to make a new ticket if you already have an account, else just use their support email.\n-   For some weird reason, Contabo enables VNC by default. You might be interested in disabling that even though it's on a different IP, on a random port, and protected by a password.\n-   Don't lose your 2FA or access to your account - be extremely cautious. I've heard online that they ask to pay up if you lose access to your account. Backup as much as possible! (based on <https://www.reddit.com/r/VPS/comments/yktiuz/comment/iuxoabe/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button>, not personal experience)\n    -   Maybe also keep the Contabo API token with you as well found in the Contabo control panel UI.\n-   Live migration does cost extra in certain cases where applicable (33 euro + VAT to be more specific). This is almost like an unexpected cost I've felt like as it was confusing to even find this out, never experienced it personally though as I never moved locations. This fee only applies if your VPS is moved to a different location, which in case of you upgrading the VPS and keeping it in the same location (as in you're in the Europe data centre - keep the Europe location) shouldn't be applied. (<https://help.contabo.com/en/support/solutions/articles/103000269766-how-do-i-change-my-servers-region->)\n-   Always check your notifications from Contabo, don't assign the email you use for your Contabo account to an email server that is hosted on a server that's under that account as what it goes down?\n-   Be _really_ patient. Contabo never seems to rush anywhere, so if you've contacted them, only contact them again if they haven't responded in 2 days. Try to stay calm and collected.\n-   Contabo does not have off-site backups. You might want to do incremental backups on the VPS and then download them locally slowly. Of course, also make on-site backups - though don't go over the backup limit of your plan.\n-   Contabo only has a 95% uptime guarantee, that's 19 days of possible contractual downtime. It's worthless asking for a refund if you haven't passed this threshold in downtime.\n    -   My downtime in those 8+ months has probably been like 4-5 days. It's not good, but guess also not the worst it could be.\n-   Share your experiences online! We, the Contabo community, are lacking shared resources, and sharing your personal subjective experience online could help others - contribute to helping others :D\n\nIf you have any questions, contact me as mentioned earlier in this post (<https://ari.lt/> or at <https://blog.ari.lt/b/contact-me/>) or contact Contabo support at <https://help.contabo.com/en/support/home> or their email `support[at]contabo.com`.\n\nGood luck if you choose Contabo as your hosting provider! My overall rating for Contabo would be 6/10 and I don't think much could sway this rating unless Contabo makes changes to their transparency\n(though it's fine for the most part, improvements could be made in making fees and performance more transparent), support (faster response times), and uptime reliability\n(having a better uptime guarantee and generally having better uptime throughout upgrades and general functioning).\n\nFinally, for good measure: **THIS IS PURELY MY OPINION, FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, FEELINGS, AND RESEARCH ONLINE. YOUR EXPERIENCE MAY DIFFER FROM MINE.**\n\nCya!",

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, I think that in the\nshort-term this argument does make sense, although, in the long term, whilst also considering how aggressive YouTube advertisement\ntactics are as well as taking the user experience into account - is that *truly* the long-term solution? It's truly not, and if\nanything it'll hurt experiences of users and make them leave YouTube, or develop more aggressive tactics to advertisement blocking.\nOne such blocking tactic that comes to mind, which might not be reliable, is to detect aggressive changes in video streams and\nskip the whole ad, or watch the connections and connection timings. Both consequently causing harm to both creators who do\nYouTube as a long-term job and YouTube themselves trying to rescue the platform 'til it eventually ends up on <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! On top of all the things mentioned before, we have the one-size-fits-all idiocy going on here which is evident\nin many server-side ad injection approaches. It fails to account for different ways users, even the ones who do *tolerate* the\ncopious amount of ads on YouTube, engage with content and ads on YouTube. Similarly, this will most likely also impact accessibility\nof the whole app and generally impact the overall user interaction, feel and \"coziness\".\n\nNot to mention the *potential* legal phalanges of this - users might challenge the legality of forcing ads without an option to opt-out.\n\n## Solutions\n\nSo far I've done nothing but to point out flaws in YouTube's creepy and desperate marketing strategy: how many ads can we force users\nto watch before they get angry? - so let's propose some solutions.\n\nYouTube has a big problem with advertisement blocking, but instead of tackling the problem at hand, they choose to ignore it all\nand force even more advertisements onto people, which causes more sophisticated ad blocking technologies so the cycle spirals on.\nWhy not just make the advertisement policy less aggressive? Google already is taking huge risks by doing server-side injection which\nwill cause more resource usage on the server-side, a lot more anger and dissatisfaction from users, most likely backlash, etc etc etc.\nInstead of taking a risk that clearly will only result in a downfall, why not take an opportunity to redeem the ad policy and make it less\naggressive and more tolerable for users.\n\nAnd, of course, ***don't fucking force ads down people's throats***. Why doesn't Google it an option, or just make it client-side as before.\n\nThough, more realistically, Google will turn a blind-eye to all of this once again, ad blockers will advance, and the war between\nG\\*ogle and everyday people will continue.\n\n\\*\\*\\*\n\nThat's my two cents.

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. You can either stay where you are, or you can commit a sin to go down a layer.\n\nThe circle you get in depends on your committed sins. You can also commit those same sins in hell. If you commit a sin in hell, you go down a layer, if not multiple, and then there's no way to go up.\n\nAt the very bottom there's a reserved space called \"The Void\", in which people who have made significant progress and learned a lot from their suffering in hell over many years can go as an escape. In The Void there's absolutely nothing, you're left there floating around in the dark, with nothingness surrounding you. This is the closest thing to an escape you'll ever experience here.\n\n##### Circle 1: Hopelessly unquenchable social validation thirst\n\nThis lighter version of modern torment, which is as though you're trapped in a realm where the need for continual social approval becomes insatiable.\n\nAt first, you bask in the glow of validation, as if you're atop the world. But, similarly to a shooting star, it fades away. Quick. It's as if your significance withers away in a jiffy, leaving nothing but void behind. The world around you seems to have forgotten your existence, as if you've become invisible entirely, and every effort you put into breaking out of this jail will be futile. The longing for being on top of the world is still there, unfulfilled - this inflicts a deeper wound far deeper than making you feel invisible or unheard. This realization of your poisoned mind drives the light away from your eyes, plunging you into straight, vile, deep, and dark depression. The sad realization that you're no longer appreciated, or seen as important, being unheard and feeling invisible hits fast, but now there's no way you're going back to the top.\n\nThis is all a game to play with your psyche. Maybe now you'll learn. Enjoy your stay just as if everyone is enjoying their life outside, except you, of course, which worsens your pain.\n\nWith time, you lose grip of sanity, it goes out of your reach. You resort to doing extreme and shocking things to get noticed, but nobody answers to your pleas for attention. Things get worse until you're completely alone, unable to meet even your basic needs, which, consequently, pushes you further into total insanity.\n\nYou might start of thinking of death as your sole escape, but you can't even manage that. This is a form of suffering after all, there's no break or escape from it. Even though you can't harm yourself, you'll still feel physical pain. Your dive into madness continues, and the thoughts you wish you could silence just make everything worse. If only you could stop thinking, but you can't. You're unsatisfied. You're left in bare plains with zero escape. This discomfort sticks with you, and is at the core of this painful experience.\n\nThis is justice for all you've done in your previous life, and this is only the beginning. Watch your step, or you may fall into a lower circle of hell.\n\n##### Circle 2: Never-ending stream of information\n\nWelcome to the circle of never-ending stream of information. You're here for to suffer for all the fear, confusion, and doubt you've caused in the past.\n\nThis world is as if the internet came alive, you being bombarded with a constant stream of information, which may or may not be true, it always contradicts itself, making you paranoid about the reality of things, questioning everything, pushing you into intense paranoia. As you're trying to figure out what's real and what's not, you realize that your grip on reality is getting looser and everything is becoming blurry and shapeless, resulting in frustration, which makes you fall into a fit of rage and a pit of darkness and confusion.\n\nSlowly, the whole world falls into paranoia, not yet chaos, but close. Every process becomes a long and complicated mess, because of the false information spreading in masses. This is a punishment for the false statements you've promoted in the past, for justice to all the confusion, fear, and uncertainty you've caused, not specifically on such a mass scale, but you've sinned, the mess and chaos you've created of the world or people's mind. You may or may not realize that all this is your fault, which may cause you feel deep regret and sorrow.\n\nAll of this mess inside of you and the world around you causes you go into self isolation, same as everyone. You're stuck with fake news sources, unable to turn them off, addicted to the high of validation and pulled in by the rage of news which don't align with your perception of reality or the same news making question your own ideas, making you anxious about your extremist views. You fall victim to even more intense paranoia with time, not knowing how to interpret anything in life anymore, you bang your head against the wall hoping to get an answer - you begin doing anything in your power to uncover the truth, but more fake news fill your mind.\n\nYou cannot stop thinking. You keep finding new links between two completely unrelated things, making a network of nonsensical paranoid thoughts in your head. This causes you immense overwhelmingness, and you continue to lose control over your thoughts and physical body. Your constant heightened state of mind tires you and causes you discomfort, but you cannot do anything besides stay where you are, or fall deeper into the confusion, which happens regardless if you want it or not.\n\nThe closest thing to an escape there is now is your own mind, a loud and uncomfortable mess, full of thoughts and constantly rushing with contradictions. You fall into it as if there's no other needs left to satisfy: No sleep, no eating, no drinking, none of the basic needs met. Just you, stuck hearing fake news, and your sorrow, paranoia, and anxiety. Like they say - karma is a bitch, your past came back to haunt you ten times worse.\n\nYour only goal now is not lose grip on reality fully that you forget that it only get worse from now on.\n\n##### Circle 3: Hopeless hard work\n\nJust like in the Greek myth about Sisyphus, you will work hopeless, long, and hard work in this world, forever. With no escape.\n\nMost of this world is filled with so-called \"successful\" people, such as Jeff Bezos, who always mistreated their workers and lied about what the workers really deserve, lying to them. Same as the individual abusers and manipulators, who lie and make a person fall into submission by putting them down, invalidating every single thing they do, manipulating everything in their life to make it seem that it's against them. Now, the world is against the abuser, you.\n\nIn the Greek myth about Sisyphus, Sisyphus was a king who was punished for deceitfulness by being forced to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only for it to roll down again every time it neared the top. Similarly, in this world you will feel like everything is an extremely hard task which will take you hours to even near completion, just for it to fail, and you having to re-do it all over again.\n\nWork will go badly, hobbies will go badly, satisfying your needs will go badly, life in general will become an insufferable agony. Everything will feel like it's in slow-motion. You will have no other options besides suffering or suffering, except if you don't do any work there's only one - down.\n\nEvery day in this world will be extremely hard, and it'll only get harder to do anything, you will be extremely exhausted and hopeless daily, just like the people you put through the same torture, at their expense. Just now, what was half their life, is now your everyday.\n\nThere's no escape from this, it'll push you into an extremely deep depression and an aching state of exhaustion.\n\nIf you choose to not do anything about it, laying around is going to push you into insanity, from the sore and constant pressure you feel to do something from the voices in your head. They keep bothering you, and you have no breathing room.\n\nThis is for all the abuse and exploitation you did in your past. This was their reality, and now it's your everyday :)\n\n##### Circle 4: Forever running away from reality\n\nIn this circle, you're sentenced to an eternity of nightmare-inducing consequences. It's crafted to grant your every wish, however every wish comes with a devastating consequence. You wanted to escape the reality, didn't you? Welcome to a reality that's far from anything you've ever known, to a reality where you cannot distinguish illusion from truth.\n\nIn this reality you'll be forced to face your biggest fears - challenges you so wanted to escape and live an easy life.\n\nThink of your deepest desires, the ones you wishes for without considering any of the challenges that come with it. Here, in this universe, they will all come true, but then the devastating challenges of the unforeseen reality will come to bite you.\n\nEver thought about drowning in power and wealth? Have them, but with them, comes the crushing loneliness, and paranoia of losing it all. Or, how about beauty and the attention it harbours? Well, you're now the most attractive person in the world. You became a target of immense jealousy leading to plots against you, sabotage, even torturing. But, of course, you cannot die, this is an eternal suffering. Every wish you hope for, anything, will come with devastating lessons about life, which you could've easily learned in life, but you chose to take the easy path and live in delusion.\n\nThe funny irony of all of this is that life was always tough, the only difference was the evasion. But now, the dreams that you clung to so relentlessly your whole life pull you deep into monstrous nightmares.\n\nYou've trapped yourself in an echo chamber of dreams in your past, constantly trying to avoid the outcomes of your goals. You become lost within yourself, longing for the mundane reality you once had, but will never return back to the original state. Because, now - you're here. Life, as you once knew it, is now an unattainable mirage, it's deformed by your own creations. The only escape is now a journey deeper into hell.\n\nYour eternity will be a constant chase of escape from the nightmares you've created. You'll be wishing for the end of it all, but it'll only push you further down into depression and guilt, knowing that there's only no escape from it and that you're at fault of all of this. The paranoia of knowing that every thought of yours will come to life also haunts you while your brain works in overdrive. Only if you've learned in your previous life to confront your fears rather than deceiving yourself that they doesn't exist.\n\nThis is the world of eternal suffering, a world where every dream just creates more vivid nightmares. Welcome to misery.\n\n##### Circle 5: Emotional crisis\n\nHere, you'll embrace a world of complete emotional crisis. You've caused a lot of hardship in the past, now it is time for your own woe.\n\nHere, you'll be living in the perfect world, where everyone is happy with themselves and their life. Where the birds are singing, nature's thriving, and weather's sunny. But there will only be one outlier - you.\n\nYou will suffer a lot. You will be the most miserable person there, nobody will talk to you, nobody will like you, everyone will constantly put you down for being such a buzzkill, being a complete narc. You will hate yourself and everything around you, and everyone being so happy with everything will only make it worse.\n\nSee, how it was living next to an abuser like you?\n\nYou will not only become your own abuser, you will live around people that despise you. This will force you into a painfully deep anguish. This vile feeling will only get worse, it'll push you further and further into an emotional crisis. You'll breakdown daily, if not hourly. It'll coerce you into self destruction while everyone is laughing at everything you do. You'll be like a cute little lab experiment to everyone, everyone will feed off your sorrow and affliction.\n\nDaily will be nothing but malaise, and the world won't let you forget that, you will be alienated, manipulated, silenced, and laughed at. You can express your emotions all you want, but nobody will care. It'll just make it worse. Sometimes people will actually listen to you, pretending as if they care, somehow every time manipulating you into giving them an answer, just to use all of that information against you.\n\nYou're funny. You were the same people laughing at you in your past. You caused a lot of affliction, yet you still pretend to be a victim.\n\nThere's only barren chaos below here. You think it can't get any worse?\n\n##### Circle 6: Outside world crisis\n\nThis is the worst layer of hell, below here there is nothing. You've been dragged through all the chaos of the previous circles, and now you're here. Welcome, scum.\n\nHere, the whole world is in total chaos and panic, including yourself. Paranoia, depression, angst, hardship, suffering, nature dying, withering of life, thought process, corruption, etc. - everything, and I mean everything, is an extreme mess. There's nothing left in order, everything feels like a burning wound in your life.\n\nThe world will be endless, every corner filled with as much discomfort as possible, no escape or peace as usual, constant anguish. Dead bodies everywhere, emotional crises, a world which is falling apart, no relations at all, let alone peaceful ones. Economy is horrible, mental health is at all time low, political parties creating horrible groups of oppressors, centralized power regimes, everyone and everything controlled by couple if not a single entity, everyone's being watched. Every second of life feels like an extreme horror film in which you confront every single one of your fears.\n\nNot stopping there. Poverty, homelessness, starvation. Everyone is extremely individualistic and there's no culture and working as a group. Everyone is self-obsessed and centred on singular things. Health is horrible, addiction is all over, immoral and unethical acts everywhere: bestiality, paedophilia, discrimination, homicide, torturing - all displayed in public, causing you trauma. Everything is extremely graphic and intense.\n\nThis never ending chaos stings. Even if you don't feel any empathy towards others or yourself, which is highly unlikely in such environment filled with total emotion - it'll be extremely hard to live. There's nothing but painful fire.\n\nThere's nothing worse than this abyss. What's left below is Void. But that would be an escape. There's no way you're ever visiting that place in this state, only people who have made significant progress and learned a lot can have the sweet escape of Void - a place where you get to exist with no torture or chaos, forever floating around in nothingness, which is the best you're ever going to get here.\n\nThis is for hurting the environment around you. Enjoy your stay, or learn - as there's nothing else you can do here now. Good luck learning from your mistakes in such an environment though.\n\n#### Modern Sinners\n\nHere, we will be exposing some modern-day sinners, and will be placing some figures who have caused a lot of soreness in the world.\n\n##### Circle 1: Hopelessly unquenchable social validation thirst\n\nKanye West is a perfect candidate for this circle. Kanye (also known as just Ye) is a famour rapper and fashion designer known for his public outbursts and a constant need validation and conversations and controversies to revolve around him. His numerous horrible self-centred acts and other narcissistic behaviour proved him time and time again to be harmful and a bad influence on his fans.\n\n##### Circle 2: Never-ending stream of information\n\nAlex Jones, a conspiracy theorist and owner of the InfoWars website, is infamous for promoting false information and conspiracy theories. Alex's disinformation campaigns have caused mass confusion and harm in the past, and continues to harbour a bad community who constantly inflicts harm on others.\n\n##### Circle 3: Hopeless hard work\n\nA notable figure in this circle could be Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who is notorious for exploiting his employees with low pay, inhumane working conditions, and extremely long working hours. Bazos' company has been the star of numerous human and labour rights controversies, and Amazon's values only continue to cause further harm and cause more controversies with time.\n\n##### Circle 4: Forever running away from reality\n\nFacebook, a platform constantly filled with scandals, deceptive practices, and privacy issues, is known to present itself in a squeaky clean mirage, when it is anything but that. The lies of it being perfectly normal and Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, constantly deflecting and avoiding any criticism presented towards Facebook, makes Mark the perfect candidate for this circle.\n\n##### Circle 5: Emotional crisis\n\nHave you ever heard of the #MeToo movement against sexual abuse? Well, Harvey Weinstein is an infamous figure which started it all. He is a famous film producer who has been accused by many women of emotional, sexual and physical abuse. He has always been a controversial figure in the world, and has caused a lot of scandal in the past. This harm he has caused makes him the first person who comes to mind when you think of this circle.\n\n##### Circle 6: Outside world crisis\n\nUnsurprisingly, the covering power of many places are self-absorbed and have no care for anything around them. Taking the sin of this circle literally, we could Jair Bolsonaro in this circle. Jair was the president of Brazil who is known for his harm for the environment. Particularly, the Amazon rainforest, causing mass deforestation due to his catastrophic policies.\n\n## Lithuanian version\n\n### Modernusis pragaras\n\nMano \u0161iuolaikinio pragaro interpretacija. 2024/03/14 (su pi diena!)\n\nLicencija: GPLv3+ (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html)\n\n#### Pragaro ratai\n\n1.

      "content": "This is my second speech for school, high-school level (10th grade). This is the speech that will be used in my upcoming oral exam in Lithuanian. Enjoy, once again open sourcing this as I open source pretty much everything :)\n\nFirst speech: <https://blog.ari.lt/b/10-th-grader-speech-george-orwell-animal-farm/>\n\n### Licensing\n\nFor **educational purposes only** you are free to use this speech (if you ever do) under CC0 - no rights reserved:\n\n> Speech about George Orwell's books \"1984\" \"Animal Farm\" by Ari Archer is marked with CC0 1.0 Universal\n\n\\- <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0?ref=ari.lt>\n\nFor any other purposes than educational, you shall follow the licensing provided on this page's footer and metadata.\n\n### Speech\n\nDear fellow students and respected teachers,\n\nToday I stand before you to share my thoughts on two George Orwell's, an influential English writer, most brilliant books, \"1984\" and \"Animal Farm\". 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\" is personified by Squealer, Napoleon's right-hand pig. Squealer's speech and persuasion manipulate the other farm animals into believing that the pigs' ruthless orders are for everyone's benefit. His twisted use of wording, statistics, and logical fallacies such as Appeal to Fear masks the reality of their oppressive government and living conditions. This character underscores Orwell's critique of the misuse of propaganda by totalitarian governments to control and change public opinion. This is a very common real-world propaganda tactic.\n\nIn both \"1984\" and \"Animal Farm\", Orwell warns us about the dangers of propaganda in totalitarian regimes. Through the use of mind control, the rewriting of history, information suppression, fear tactics, and centralization of power. These works show how totalitarian regimes can dictate what is \"truth\" and \"reality\" - in other words, dictatorship.\n\nOrwell's works may seem grim and pessimistic, however they are discrete warnings resonating with the course of human history. Their universal relevance speaks to the resilience of free thinking and the fearless refusal to submit to authority. These works will most likely almost always stay relevant as history repeats itself, and we must take these warnings and stay aware of unchallenged authority or else we may fall victim to oppressive regimes once again.\n\nIn conclusion, Orwell\u2019s \"1984\" and \"Animal Farm\" go beyond mere storytelling, they integrate thought-provoking political commentary with critical insight of totalitarianism and the role of propaganda in totalitarian governance systems. Looking at both novels, Orwell's primary message remains clear: In a world where truth becomes a joke of those in power, it is our responsibility as individuals to question and analyze their wrongs, and stay ware of oppressive governments.\n\nRemember, \"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others\". So let\u2019s be the animals that stand for equality, truth and freedom.

Enjoy, I guess. This is my own interpretation and work, so may not work for your own use case. The \"10th grader\" figure is important in this case as to note that this may not be the highest quality speech, it's high-school level, if that even.\n\nI left out the Lithuanian translation out of here as translation from this should be easy enough for people using this work. I don't want to include it as I don't want this post to be huge with repetitive information.\n\n### Licensing\n\nFor **educational purposes only** you are free to use this speech (if you ever do) under CC0 - no rights reserved:\n\n> Speech about George Orwell's book \"Animal Farm\" by Ari Archer is marked with CC0 1.0 Universal\n\n\\- <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0?ref=ari.lt>\n\nFor any other purposes than educational, you shall follow the licensing provided on this page's footer and metadata.\n\n### Speech\n\nDear people,\n\nToday, I stand here to not just to talk about a book - rather to explore philosophy, symbolism, and societal commentary scattered around its pages. 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\" is a clever novel which uses animals to allegorically express the storyline to create a unique utopian society which slowly becomes a dystopian reality. It begins good, but then slowly deteriorates into a harsh, corrupt, and bitter state of governance, depicting a bitter reality of many political systems. The animals in the book do not merely represent themselves, but rather each has its real-world political history, this becomes clearer and clearer as you read into the very clear allegory that Orwell created in the storyline.\n\nThe pigs, who present the leaders of the rebellion, represent those who are in charge - the politicians. It's very clever, in my opinion, how the pigs are presented as the government, as pigs are known as this dirty and gross animal in many cultures. I feel like this not only represents the governing power in the book well, but also real-world governments and their actions. Many sources claim that The character of Napoleon, a large boar, can be seen as a representation of Joseph Stalin, a Soviet leader from the mid-1920s to his demise in 1953, a ruthless figure who forced policies such as collectivization and purges, consolidating power and transforming the Soviet Union into an industrialized but authoritarian state. The same sources also claim that Snowball, another pig, represents the political theorist Leon Trotsky, a prominent Marxist revolutionary who played a key role in the Russian Revolution, advocating for international socialism, and later becoming a vocal critic of Joseph Stalin's authoritarian control in 1920s to early 1930s.\n\nOrwell's writing style applications and a stage of reality portrayed in the book, makes the readers think and relate to the real world around them. The book provides a critical examination of complexities and issues of any political system, which, even though formed with high ideals (how most political systems start), can quickly snowball into an authoritarian mess, poverty, centralized power, and manipulation (political propaganda?). Any political system can fall victim to corruption, inequality, and exploitation.\n\nDuring the development of the storyline in the book, there were many portrayed inequalities (or as the pigs would call it \"Some animals are more equal than others\"), change of the 7 laws they made to create a society where the animals could live peacefully and happily to match the authoritarian leader's wants and privileges. I found one part funny in particular where the pigs changed the basic right of \"All animals are equal\" to \"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others\" - this part stuck with me as a funny moment, showing how badly degraded and corrupt the political system there was.\n\nIn conclusion, \"Animal Farm\" By George Orwell is not just a book, it is a mirror reflecting our society's often masked artifacts. On its surface it may appear as a simple tale of farm animals, but beneath the surface it's a political satire representing a pungent society and leaders, commenting with that with on-point political critique.\n\nThank you for lending me your time and giving me the opportunity to share this amazing work by George Orwell with you today. Have a good rest of your day.\n\n### Plan\n\n-   Greeting\n-   Not just a book (intro)\n    -   Philosophy\n    -   Symbolism\n    -   Societal commentary\n-   Author\n    -   Influential English writer\n    -   Born on June 25th of 1903\n    -   Real name - Eric Arthur Blair\n        -   Later adopted his writer name - George Orwell\n    -   English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic\n    -   Works characterized by clarity, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, pro-democratic socialism\n    -   Power to poverty, common theme\n        -   Even from his first book - \"Down and Out in Paris and London\", published in 1933\n-   \"Animal Farm\" is one of the most celebrated works by him\n    -   Unique blend of political satire, dystopian fiction, and allegorical storytelling\n    -   published on August 17th of 1945\n        -   People were still devastated by effects of World War II\n        -   The storyline exposes and criticizes corruption and brutal totalitarianism\n            -   Absolute political power\n-   \"Animal Farm\" is a clever allegorical novel with a unique storyline\n    -   Unique utopian society which degrades into a dystopian reality\n        -   Toxic state of governance\n            -   Harsh\n            -   Corrupt\n            -   Bitter\n        -   Reality of many political systems\n    -   The animals don't represent merely themselves\n        -   Actual real-world political history\n-   Allegory: animals are not merely animals\n    -   Pigs - politicians\n        -   Pigs are viewed as dirty and gross in many cultures\n            -   Clever\n        -   Accurate representation of real-world governments and\n        -   Main pigs: Snowball and Napoleon\n            -   Napoleon is believed to represent Joseph Stalin\n                -   Soviet leader from the mid-1920s to his demise in 1953\n                -   Ruthless figure who forced policies\n                    -   Collectivization and purges\n                    -   Consolidating power\n                    -   Transforming the Soviet Union into an industrialized but authoritarian state\n            -   Snowball is believed to represent the political theorist Leon Trotsky\n                -   Prominent Marxist revolutionary who played a key role in the Russian Revolution\n                -   Advocating for international socialism\n                -   Later becoming a vocal critic of Joseph Stalin's authoritarian control in 1920s to early 1930s\n-   Orwell's writing style and portrayed reality\n    -   Makes the readers think of the real world around them\n    -   Provides critical examination and complexities of any political system\n    -   Political system formation\n        -   Starts with high ideals\n        -   Can quickly snowball into an authoritarian mess, poverty, centralized power, and manipulation (political propaganda?)\n        -   Any political system can fall victim to corruption, inequality, and exploitation.\n-   Storyline: inequality (or as pigs would say - \"others are more equal than others\")\n    -   They made 7 basic laws\n        -   Who walks on two legs is an enemy\n        -   Who walks on four legs or has wings is a friend\n        -   No animal should wear clothes\n        -   No animal shall lie in bed\n        -   No animal shall drink alcohol\n        -   No animal shall kill any other animal\n        -   All animals are equal\n    -   The pigs kept changing them to meet their privileges and wants\n        -   Four legs is good, two is even better\n        -   Who walks on four legs or has wings is a friend (not changed)\n        -   Animals can wear clothes\n        -   Pigs require a place to rest\n        -   No animal shall drink alcohol without moderation\n        -   No animal shall kill any other animal without a reason\n        -   All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others\n            -   This stuck with me, funny - \"more equal\"\n                -   Degradation\n                -   Corruptness\n                -   Authoritarianism\n    -   Poverty\n-   Conclusion (outro)\n    -   \"Animal farm\" is not just a book\n        -   Mirror reflecting our society's often masked artifacts\n    -   On the surface seems like a tale about\n    -   Digging deeper into the creative work\n        -   Political satire\n        -   pungent society and leaders\n        -   On-point political critique\n-   Goodbye\n    -   Opportunity to share\n    -   Have a good day",

Whoever walks on two legs is an enemy.\n2. He who walks on all fours or has wings is a friend.\n3. No animal shall wear clothes.\n4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.\n5. No animal is allowed to drink alcohol.\n6. No animal shall kill any other animal.\n7. All animals are equal.\n\nwhich was cool i guess, but over time pigs became the government and the superior\nanimal and stuff, and i found that funny how politicians were portrayed as\npigs, but honestly - deserved lol, but anyway\n\npigs gave themselves more privileges and stuff, saying 'managing the farm is a super\nhard job' - for example when pigs made it so they are the only ones who could drink\nmilk and eat apples ( or smt i don't really recall that too clearly right now ),\nand over time there were political fights, etc, and one thing stood out to me -\nhow the pigs ( politicians ) changed the law to fit their interests and privileges\nand whatnot, it was slowly changed to something like :\n\n1. Four legs is good, two is even better. ( this was shouted after some political fight and became law, when pigs walked on twos )\n2. Who walks on all fours or has wings is a friend. ( i don't remember this being changed )\n3. An animal can wear clothes. ( this was somewhere at the end or where pigs wore clothing )\n4. Resting place is important for pigs. ( i'm unsure if this was law, but i know that pigs had the privilege to beds and housing )\n5. No animal should drink alcohol without moderation. ( or something like that, when pigs begun brewing beer and starving other animals ( what an allegory for modern world's capitalism ! ) )\n6. No animal shall kill any other animal without reason. ( lol, this one was sorta funny, when the leader ( napoleon ) sentenced multiple other animals to death sentence )\n7. All animals are equal, but some are more equal. ( this one got me so bad, bro, 'more equal', that's too funny lmao )\n\nhonestly, it's funny, i hate that i love how accurately it portrays politicians\nand capitalism and shit nowadays,,\n\nanyway, i'm not going to spoil any further, but it's a nice, quick read, i'd\nsuggest, a good 8/10 :)\n\n## messaging of animal farm\n\n( this is where the spoilers end )\n\nthis got me thinking about politics and economics, today's world is sad lol\n\npolitics can be a great tool, it can be used for good, and to this day, on\nsome rare occasion, it is used for good, helping people in need and such, though\nall i usually see out of it is just publication and a good eye lol, money\nruns the world, and reputation is everything, i guess lol, it feels like politics\nnowadays is used for manipulation, privilege and wars\n\nand on the economical side, capitalism is what came up lol, it's a cool system,\ni don't think there's much else that could work better, and communism has been\nhistorically proven as ineffective, it's sad how capitalism has driven our society\n( god i hate that word sm ) into an abuse machine, it's sad how you have to abuse\nthe working class, underpaying, to make any profit, why can't the world be more peaceful\nlol, welp, it is what it is i guess,,\n\n## moving on ...\n\nanyway, back to more thoughts of mine, stress,, stress i the only word i can use to\ndescribe my life currently lol, it's nothing but that, it sucks, oh and 'jail' lol\n\nstress was already described above, why i'm feeling so stressed, and it sucks lol,\nbut it's temporary, i'll suffer for a few years, but a future is waiting for me, a future\nwhere i'm freer, happier, living in an environment i can heal from the life hurt i've\nexperienced over the years, i can finally work and build my own life, even though i'll\nbe in an abused working class, i'll be at least \"somewhere\" lol\n\nand jail, god, the lithuanian education system sucks so bad, there's zero creativity, there's\nzero true learning, i retain basically nothing from school, because there's nothing to learn,\nthey give you magical numbers, formulas, texts, and then tell you to just remember it,\ni wish it was more practical rather than what ever *this* is lol,, freedom and creativity are\nhuge values to me, and i truly feel in-jailed ( ? ) in the system, i crave for the creativity,\ni crave for learning, i crave for substance and not pure 'take this book and recite it, my disciples'\nlol, welp, once again a thing i'm hopeless at changing, i kinda have to suffer through it\nand then live freely, hopefully lol\n\nhoping to move out of this shithole someday, lithuania sucks lol, i cant describe how much i hate\nit here, people suck, economy sucks, politics suck, everything here sucks, the only redeeming\nquality of lithuania is that it has a couple of old beautiful sights, and that it isn't all\nasphalt unlike america lol, i really wanna go back to germany, as explained in <https://blog.ari.lt/b/german-days/>\nlol, but that's for the future\n\nright now, my goal and purpose is to push it through, and i've been through much worse, i'll\nsurvive this too, what's the 3 or 4 more years of suffering if i've already lived 16 years\nin it, god, i hate how emo this sounds lmao, but i mean, like, eh, it's just stupidity lol\n\ni'll get over this way of thinking one day, or not, idk, life is a confusing hard mess and i'm\nnot happy with it, i wanna change everything about it, i wanna break my life down, rip it into pieces,\nand rebuild it from scratch\n\ni'll quote my friend from a few days\n\n> you can't heal in an environment that hurt you\n\nand yeah lol, i just ew, i'll just push it through lol, like with piercings lol,\nit's so stupid to just like give up mid way through, just push it through, like with\nmy septum piercing, that was so painful, but my piercer pushed it through, it was temporary,\nand now i'm happy with it, we need some help sometimes, i guess\n\ni should really start seeing a psychiatrist again, but a good one, then a psychologist or\na therapist lol, or i'll be at this for time and time again trying to heal on my\nown, or if we use piercings as an analogy - i'll keep trying to pierce my own septum until\ni eventually can't do it and either be unhappy with everything constantly bothering me, or\ni give in and seek for a person to help me ( my piercer was so sweet i love her )\n\nwell, until i stop living in my bubble and have the resources for it, i'm stuck with just\npushing through, and idk, i can handle it, and i have my friends to support me, if anything\ni'll just have a week long mental breakdown and reset myself lol like that one time lol,\nbut mental breakdowns feel so garbage while they're happening, it's so mentally painful,\nit's horrible, but you feel good after and feel like you've let everything out of you, i need\na good mental breakdown, it'd be such a nice break from everything and an emotional reset i\nneed, but i'll keep myself together lol, the school year is almost over ( well 3 or so more motnsh\nbut still ), and then i'll get a break, i hope this summer will actually be good unlike the last\none lol\n\ni'm looking forward for next year a bit more than this, next year i'll get to pick what i want\nto study, which means it'll be a bit more engaging rather than constant pressure to learn random\npainful things, although the issue of lack of creativity and 'true learning' will still persist,\nat least i'll be engaged in the class lol\n\nliterally 1984\n\nlast week i decided to take a small break from code, i'm glad i did lol, i can't imagine\nmyself managing code stuff and working on this much school stuff at the same time, it's so much\n\n<https://github.com/ari-lt/sites.ari.lt/issues/1> states :\n\n    hey\n\n    i'm taking a little break for 2 weeks as i feel like i'm working on code 24/7 and living on the clock, i am feeling\n    very overwhelmed living with no break time, even people who are of working age get a couple of days of break,\n    while i usually don't and i feel like its about time i take a break, my week usually looks like this :\n\n    working days : energy exhausted, tired, can't work on anything\n    saturday : usually spent on code\n    sunday : test prep, school prep, stress, etc\n\n    so ye, i think i'll give myself a break because i can't lol\n\nas much as i enjoy this, i think this is a well deserved break lol, i've been going at this code stuff\nfor a while non-stop, some of it underground, private, some of it on communities like coder ( idr if that's\nthe platform name, but there was like a social media or smt for like programmers where ppl could share\ntheir code and post it ), some of it theoretical, and of course - open source stuff too, i've also done some\nwork for people, i've been the internet's tech support too, etc etc etc - there's a lot i've done with basically\nno break for years lol, but i'm probably just like seeing it like such a big thing when its probably stupid and\nnothing, its annoying, i'm constantly unsure if something is stupid or not, i wish i could think like everyone else\nbut at the same time i don't - there's no way i'd like to be the same as everyone else, but like i'd like to have\nthe aspect of knowing if something is stupid or not ( for example the break thing )\n\ni'm so given up on everything, i feel like i've just made up my own delusions that i'll push it through, that future\nis brighter, that everything i do now is stupid and pointless, or that it's important, or that something, i feel like\ni'm living in my own world and that there's two people constantly contradicting one another, but eh, until i have\nbasis to prove that my delusions are false, i'll just stay in my safe bubble lol\n\ni'm distressed, exhausted, tired, angsty, angry, in-jailed, hopeful yet hopeless, distracted, not attached to reality, delusional,\nlazy, and in need of peace - i don't know what i'm saying anymore, it feels like i'm just spitting synonyms out expecting\nit to make sense, i'm an emotional ball of angst and i can't wait until my delusions ( allegedly ) come true\n\nok, side tracking,\n\nthis nice song just begun playing and i think it's nice, y'all should check it out\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jESxRDZRSaQ>\n(  PIGBREATH - The Night Is Young (Official Music Video) ), i like it, i found it today like 2-3 hours ago and it's cool\n\nalso did y'all know that girl in red ( my beloved artist ) released a new song, it's super nice :3\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDGDDYDf5FE> ( girl in red - Too Much (Official Video) ),\ni like this song, it's playing right now,, my best friend, [casey](https://ari.lt/casey), pointed it out to me like 1 or 2 days ago\n\nwell, anyway, there's another thing bothering me - people, there's so many things that trigger me, or make my emotions\nexplode, some more than others, like there's things people trigger almost if not daily and i'm sorta used to it, even if it\ndoes hurt, i know how to control it, but some rarer ones make me explode, and it sucks, i'm learning how to control my\nemotions as it's truly a me issue lol, not as if anyone should be required to deal with my own issues and triggers, it's my\njob to ask or stay quiet and deal with it, it's very painful and annoying, but i mean, it's a me issue lol\n\n## reflection\n\ni've made so much progress from my old self lol, thinking back about my life i feel a sense of accomplishment,\nbut it's sad how much work is needed to undo everything, i'll heal once i'm out of here, i think\n\ni used to have plans of suicide and stuff, now i don't, it's damn, i thought it's set in stone, i also used to\nbe a big anorexic, i'm not as much of one anymore, still a bit shaky on that, but i'm hanging \ud83d\udc4d, i used to\nbe super unhappy with my body, i'm now unhappy with my body knowing what's wrong, that's progress i guess ? i\nused to self harm a lot, i'm repulsed by it now, i used to be scared to express myself in any way, i'm not\nas scared anymore, i also moved away from the shitty school i was in before, i'm learning how to deal with my\nemotions better, i'm also learning how to properly treat myself, i've also tried many hobbies in my life, and i've\ngotten okay at one - programming, i also like cooking to this day, i used to also be super into chemistry\nand languages, biology too iirc, music creation ( both digital and \"physical\" if it makes sense ) in general it was cool\n\nwell, i'm glad programming stayed with me, i have a lot of fun with it and it gives me the freedom, creativity, and control\ni so long for in many aspects of life, and i like cooking, it helps me to develop a healthier relationship with food,\ni am trying to not optimize for 'how low calorie can i make this' - but honestly, my brain finds it super hard to\nnot optimize for kcal count to be low, but i mean i'm not trying to make everything super low calorie on purpose\nanymore, today was like one of those rare times i made pancakes, bro pancakes - one of my biggest fears before,\nWITH NO SPINACH, like if i craved pancakes so much i would just shove a lot of spinach to fill me up rather than anything\nelse, and today i made like normal pancakes lol, it wasn't horrible but it was sorta hard to digest, ofc made with\nvegan ingredients as i'm vegan myself lol\n\ncurrently my view on food and stuff is like 'it should be satisfying and feel good', this one girl on youtube called\n<https://www.youtube.com/@ColleenChristensen> helped me understand that, maybe i'll change my view on it someday, but\nfor now that's what works for me /shrug\n\nidk, there's also personal growth, some private stuff, also self-discovery journey, etc - it's very damn\n\nthere's also some negative sides, for example i barely talk to anyone i used to talk to like 5 years ago, 5 years ago i\nused to be surrounded by like rodrigo, some tiktok friends, corbin too i think, that one girl and her emo artist friend,\nmax, those are the main ones i can recall, mainly from the lgbt support group i was in back then lol, i mean there were\nother people like noel, my best friend, which i don't talk to anymore after 10 years of friendship lol, etc etc etc lol\n\nthough i've gained other friends and stayed with others, but well, people come and go, currently, at this stage of life,\ni don't talk to many people lol, i don't really have any super close or closish bonds besides like bloody and casey, there's\nother people like joe, mike, kuran, ofc sininenkissa, other matrix people i talk to, but i wouldn't call them close bonds,\nmaybe mike, i would consider mike the closest out of that list lol, like i have connections with people, but they're never\nthat deep or close or meaningful or anything, well besides a couple, but it works for me lol, and i'm glad i'm not fully\nsocially isolated - like i sometimes go, and have went through social isolation episodes lol\n\ni've gotten better at dealing with a lot of stuff, but worse at other, i've learned to accept some things and break others\ndown, i've changed as a person, i've changed my environment, and this is probably not the first and not the last time i feel\nthis overwhelmed by change, tests, exams, life, friends, people, etc\n\n## concluding\n\ni mean i got a portion of what i wanted to get off my chest, off my chest, and i feel better now lol, i'm glad i have a\nplace like this to express myself in, share stories, and sometime look back on it, maybe not always in a positive light,\nbut it's something lol\n\nit's kinda scary to write about mental health and stuff after what happened in the past over half a year or so lol,\nbut it's over, and i'm getting over it lol\n\non a side note, [ari.lt](https://ari.lt/) matrix homeserver ( <https://blog.ari.lt/b/ariweb-matrix-homeserver/> )\nis doing great, one of the coolest things that happened to it so far, is that it got #1 places in\ntwim ( this week in matrix ) blog : <https://matrix.org/blog/2024/02/twim/#dept-of-ping-table-tennis-paddle-and-ball>\n\nso that's cool\n\nanyway thanks for giving me this opportunity to express myself, and, well, til next time :),\ncrazy roller-coaster of events and emotions we just went through lol\n\nari\n\n2024/02/20\n\nmeow meow",

dOEs iT sOlvE wORlD hUngER ??\" - also quoting one or two people )\nand generally having fun with it . i don't get why people try to strip away this fun from me, it's like\nthey only see the world as purely problems such as social issues with zero logical problems involved\nand that the only goal in life is money - it sucks . oh well though, not as if i can change their view\nno matter how much i explain myself, though at this point i don't feel the need to explain it, i'm just\nover it, it's what i like to do and what i do, and who are *you* to take it away from me ?\nand i've also heard complaints about how i spend around 100 euro a year on my whole programming things\n( mainly vps and domain ), i just pay for the ability to host my applications freely, let people use\nthe vps, have a backup server, etc,, it's just 100 euro a year, while it brings me a lot of joy,\nopportunities, and ability to support other open source creators\n\nwell anyway, that rant aside : i've also switched from the xiaomi android rom ( which sucks ***A LOT*** )\nto lineageos ( great rom imho ) and i've made a guide on it :\n<https://blog.ari.lt/b/install-lineageos-root-ur-xiomi-redmi-8-phone-using-magisk/>\ni feel nothing but regret by staying on that shitty rom for ***4 years*** lol, but i'm glad\ni've switched\n\nlooks like i've also rewrote the blogging system ?? that's epic asf, i forget what i work on sometimes\nand this is definitely an epic change, the old one needed a rewrite and the current one is actually\nfaster which is, in fact, very cool :)\n\ngod, the <https://blog.ari.lt/b/removal-domls-7-8/> post brings me flashbacks, i get huge ptsd ( to the\npoint where i jump from sleep ) because of things that happened during this period, it made me miserable,\nnow i've moved on, ptsd still persists though :/\n\nafter that i've gotten into vps stuff, begun maining matrix as my main form of communication and\ni am so glad i've moved on, i not only met quite a few cool people, but now i also have the ability to provide\nservices to people, let them host their own things, etc -- it's great, and i'm glad to help people and\nexpand upon my opportunities, i'm glad i'm growing up, though i'm scared of it, though it's nice being\nmore and more independent as time goes ( btw wanna join the homeserver yourself ? [join ari.lt here](https://ari.lt/matrix) )\n\nregardless, though, these are only events which i've published before . there's many things i can't really\ntalk about publicly, which i wish to, but i cannot, though i'll share the things that i can share, though\nonly in semi-chronological order :\n\ni got quite a few other piercings which is cool :3 like over the past months i've been getting\npiercings, as i've gotten the chance to, and it's been great, i've gotten my long waited for piercings\nand some i've begun wanting fairly recently -- i think i'll enjoy this while i can, it's nice and if\nanything i can just take them out lol\n\nnext year i'm going to be an 11 th grader, i honestly can't wait for this, i will finally get to study\nwhat i want and what i am actually good at, not shit like chemistry which i not only dislike, i am also\nnot that good at it, but ye, it's exciting, and in general -- i want to move on from my class, even though\ni don't really face many issues there, there's a few people i dislike and it'd be nice to just have\nanother class, and in general -- i'd like to reverse the past year or so of my life, well, at least some\nparts of it, i'd like to start from another point, but what's done is done and now you cannot erase it\n\ni'm also moving out soon, which is pretty cool, well, 'soon', it's probably going to still take some\ntime as everything's is still being set up, but i'm moving and i wonder how that's going to be like,\nthough stuff like that ( change ) makes me super anxious, so i'm interested, yet still super anxious\n\ni also just remember once talking about pe making me super anxious and stuff, since last yr ( second half )\ni haven't done any pe or anything, and honestly -- it's great,, whatever exercise i need i get from walking around\nand stuff, and as i don't need to change or anything like that, i don't feel as miserable at school and stuff, which is\ngreat, though that doesn't mean school's a non-miserable place lol : work, some people, exams, stress,\ncomparing ( others comparing you for example, total shit ass ), etc is just all garbage, especially\nas even if i try to make school less miserable i get shut down right away, told i'm annoying, and that sorta\njust breaks my heart lol, welp though lol\n\nhonestly, i thought my life's going better, now as i'm reflecting on it, even from stuff i can't share,\ngod, i still got so much progress to do, though that also means i'm not as blind to issues i've faced\nbefore and that i can at least start the first steps to life quality improvement -- acknowledgement\n\nthough, overall, the message i'm trying to say : i want my time back\n\nthough, i think i'll stop here before i overshare xD, goodbye, good luck, and speciate your\ntime while you can - cya in the next post\n\nari, 2024/01/29",

      "description": "tutorial walking through setting up dendrite matrix homeserver with nginx ( together with certbot ) on linux ( in this case, specifically debian 12, but works everywhere ), also covers very annoying errors i've encountered making my own matrix homeserver -- matrix.ari.lt / ari.lt",
      "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\nas seen at <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 matrix dendrite database setup](https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/installation/manual/database)\n\nfirstly, you need to start and enable the postgresql service :\n\n    # systemctl enable --now postgresql\n\nnext, run the following to switch to postgresql control user :\n\n    # su postgres\n    $ cd\n\nnow you should be in the postgres user's home dir, now you will\nhave to create the role for dendrite, set its password and create\nits database, but before, i have to warn you to create a password\nsuch as it shouldn't include non-url-safe characters, else it may\nbe a pain to configure dendrite in the future, this is why i'd recommend\nyou just generate the password using the following command :\n\n    $ head -n 16 /dev/urandom | base64 -w 0 | shuf | sed 's/[^A-Za-z0-9]//g' | head -c 123\n\nand then using these commands to create the role, set its password and create the database :\n\n    $ createuser -P dendrite\n    $ createdb -O dendrite -E UTF-8 dendrite\n\nnow you're all set with the database\n\n## compiling dendrite\n\nfirstly, let's set up the user we'll run dendrite on, it is a good practice\nto run applications such as this under lowest possible privileges so we don't\nrun into nasty attacks in the future, here's how you do it :\n\nrun the following command\n\n    # useradd -m matrix\n\nthis will create a new user called `matrix` with its own `/home/matrix/` directory,\nwe will run dendrite under this user,, next -- set the password for the user :\n\n    # passwd matrix\n\nmake sure to use a secure password, may i recommend [pwdtools](https://ari.lt/gh/pwdtools) ? though you can use anything\n\nyou may also want to run this to make the home directory of this user only readable by that user :\n\n    $ chmod 700 -R /home/matrix/\n\nbut it's optional\n\nthen, switch to the matrix user, you can use any user to do this :\n\n    $ su matrix\n\nnow as you're the `matrix` user, you should go into your `~` ( home )\ndirectory :\n\n    $ cd\n\nnow as you're the matrix user in its home direcotory,\ndownload the latest release tarball ( `.tar.gz` )\noff <https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/releases/latest> and extract it\n\nat the moment for me it's\n<https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/archive/refs/tags/v0.13.5.tar.gz>\nso i'll assume the same, although for future readers --\n**please grab the latest version**, here's an example of how to download it and\nextract it :\n\n    $ curl -fLO https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/archive/refs/tags/v0.13.5.tar.gz\n    $ tar xvf v0.13.5.tar.gz\n    $ cd dendrite-0.13.5/\n\nnow you should end up in the latest release of dendrite\n\naccording to <https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/installation/manual/build>\nyou should now run the following :\n\n    $ go build -o bin/ ./cmd/...\n\nkeep in mind it's LITERALLY `go build -o bin/ ./cmd/...`\nand not for example `go build -o bin/ ./cmd/*`, it's a literal\nelipsis, run the command as-is with the 3 dots as go is weird\nand quirky like that i guess\n\nthis should build dendrite, keep in mind this will be network\nand resource heavy\n\nnow you can install it :\n\n    $ go install ./cmd/dendrite\n\nand your dendrite installation should end up in `~/go/bin/dendrite` :)\n\n## signing keys\n\nnow, you will generate signing keys for your matrix encryption, which will be used\nin authentication of federation requests\n[as explained here, the tutorial for setting up keys in dendrite](https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/installation/manual/signingkeys)\n\nrun the following command in the dendrite directory ( the one you ran commands in <#:compiling dendrite> ) :\n\n    $ ./bin/generate-keys --private-key matrix_key.pem\n\n**never share this key with anyone**\n\n## configuring dendrite\n\nthis part is based off [my own config of dendrite](https://ari.lt/lh/matrix.ari.lt), which\nis set up by help of people, my own research and [the setup docs](https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/installation/manual/configuration),\nkeep up-to-date with my configuration and the docs as this section\nmay get outdated, although i'll do my best to keep this up to date\nas long as i run the ari-web matrix server\n\nfirstly copy the example config :\n\n    $ cp dendrite-sample.yaml dendrite.yaml\n\nand now, open it in your favourite text editor, such as `vim` for example, maybe `nano` even :\n\n    $ vim dendrite.yaml\n\nnow, i will cover only some parts of the config which you may want to change,\nbut also the default config includes a lot of comments, so you may want to\nlook through all of it and see what you want or don't\n\n`global` :\n\n-   `server_name` -- this should be the domain you are delegating from, for example `ari.lt`\n    has the `.well-known` delegation to `matrix.ari.lt` so the value of `server_name` will be `ari.lt`\n-   `database.connection_string` -- this is the connection string of your postgresql database,\n    this should be a url as follows : `postgresql://dendrite:<password>@127.0.0.1/dendrite`, replace `<password>`\n    with your password, for example `postgresql://dendrite:password123@127.0.0.1/dendrite`\n-   `well_known_server_name` and `well_known_client_name` -- these two keys should have\n    the same value of `https://<your matrix domain>:443`, for example `https://matrix.ari.lt:443`, the\n    domain must be the same as your matrix server, not delegated domain ( so `matrix.ari.lt` and not `ari.lt` )\n-   make sure `disable_federation` is set to `false`\n-   `presence.*` -- set all keys that are `false` to `true`, if you want presence to be a thing\n    ( such as typing, online status, etc ), this is optional\n\n`client_api` :\n\n-   i'd suggest setting `registration_disabled` and `guests_disabled` to `true` so you'd have full\n    control over what people have accounts, if you want open registrations you may want to set both\n    of them to `false` or just `registration_disabled` to `false`, depending on your wants, you will\n    be able to create new accounts using `./bin/create-account` later on regardless\n-   if you disabled registrations, you'll need to set `registration_shared_secret` to some value,\n    you can use the password generator command from before -- `head -n 16 /dev/urandom | base64 -w 0 | shuf | sed 's/[^A-Za-z0-9]//g' | head -c 123`\n    to generate something good enough\n-   you may also want to set `rate_limiting.exempt_user_ids` to yourself ( like `@ari:ari.lt` as an example ),\n    maybe even change the rate limiting in general\n\n`sync_api` :\n\n-   set the `real_ip_header` to `X-Real-IP`, we will use this in the future\n-   if you want search functionality, you may want to set `search.enable` to `true`\n\n`user_api` :\n\n-   if you'll have / already have a main / lounge room, you may want to add it to `auto_join_rooms`, like `#root:ari.lt` for example\n\nthat's pretty much it with the configuration of dendrite, although i'd still suggest going through all config options\nat least once and thinking if you want them or not :)\n\n## running dendrite\n\nto run dendrite you can just run\n\n    $ ~/go/bin/dendrite -config ./dendrite.yaml\n\nand if you want to run it in the background you just run this :\n\n    $ ~/go/bin/dendrite -config ./dendrite.yaml & disown\n\nsimple as that, now dendrite will be listening on port 8008\n\n## dns records\n\nthe `A` record is required\n\n    matrix.yourdomain.tld 3600 IN A        <server ip>\n    matrix.yourdomain.tld 3600 IN CAA 0 issue <issuer>\n\nyou may remove `CAA` if you disable all the fancy SSL stuff in nginx\n( which we're about to configure )\n\nyou can also optionally add `AAAA` for ipv6 support\n\nfor ari-web i've set it up like this :\n\n    matrix.ari.lt 3600 IN A            62.171.174.136\n    matrix.ari.lt 3600 IN CAA 0 issue letsencrypt.org\n\n## configuring nginx\n\n**tldr** <#:final nginx config>\n\nin our case we will use nginx as our reverse proxy, this i will base off\n[my own nginx config for my vps](https://us.ari.lt/git/blob/main/res/nginx.conf)\n\nfirstly, you need to make sure if either user `www-data` or `http` exists, you can do that\nby running\n\n    $ cat /etc/passwd\n\nwhich will show you all users\n\nif none do, run\n\n    # useradd www-data  # or http\n\nafter that, make sure that `/etc/nginx/mime.types` exists :\n\n    $ ls /etc/nginx/mime.types\n\nif not, run the following command :\n\n    # curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nginx/nginx/master/conf/mime.types -fLo /etc/nginx/mime.types\n\nnow, open up `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` in your favourite text editor and configure it :\n\n    # vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf\n\nwe will start by setting up some base rules :\n\n    user www-data;\n    worker_processes auto;\n    pid /run/nginx.pid;\n    worker_rlimit_nofile 8192;\n\n    events {\n        use epoll;\n        multi_accept on;\n        worker_connections 4096;\n    }\n\nmake sure to replace `www-data` with `http` if you're using the `http` user instead,\nhere's what this piece of config means :\n\n-   `user www-data;` will make sure that the worker processes run under a low privilege user\n    such as `www-data`\n-   `worker_processes auto;` makes the worker process count optimal for your cpu\n    core count, each worker than handle thousands of connections\n-   `pid /run/nginx.pid;` specifies the file where the server will write its master process id\n-   `worker_rlimit_nofile 8192;` sets the limit of maximum number of file descriptors opened by this process ( every connection is a unix socket, so also a file descriptor )\n-   `use epoll;` sets the method to use to get notifications for network events, `epoll` is particularly good for linux\n-   `multi_accept on;` allows to handle multiple simultaneous connections\n-   `worker_connections 4096;` sets the limit of maximum number of connections per worker\n\nnext, we'll set up some basic config for our server :\n\n    http {\n        include mime.types;\n        default_type application/octet-stream;\n\n        access_log off;\n\n        tcp_nopush on;\n        tcp_nodelay on;\n        keepalive_timeout 120;\n        types_hash_max_size 2048;\n        server_names_hash_bucket_size 256;\n\n        sendfile on;\n    }\n\nyou can dig into this config deeper, but abstractly :\n\n-   `default_type application/octet-stream;` sets the default mime type to `application/octet-stream` ( binary data )\n-   `access_log off;` turns off the access log so we don't log requests and their IPs\n-   sets up some TCP options\n-   sets `types_hash_max_size`, it's the mime type hash table size, this is for different types of mime types for different files as matrix also works on file uploading\n-   `server_names_hash_bucket_size 256;` is for server directives, how much memory it's allowed to use\n-   `sendfile on;` is for file uploads\n\nnow, we can set up a basic `server` :\n\n    http {\n        ...\n\n        server {\n            listen 80;\n            listen [::]:80;\n\n            server_name matrix.yourdomain.tld;\n\n            access_log off;\n\n            return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;\n        }\n\n        server {\n            listen 443 ssl;\n            listen [::]:443 ssl;\n\n            listen 8448 ssl http2 default_server;\n            listen [::]:8448 ssl http2 default_server;\n\n            server_name matrix.yourdomain.tld;\n\n            access_log off;\n        }\n    }\n\nhere you can also now start nginx :\n\n    # systemctl enable --now nginx\n\nthis sets up the basic requirements for a server, make sure to\nreplace yourdomain.tld / matrix.yourdomain.tld with whatever your\npreferred domain is, 443 is the https ( tls ) port and 8448 is the secure\nfederation port,, this is where we have to take a step back,\nsave our nginx config and move on for a little bit\n\n### tls ( https )\n\nto set up tls ( https ) on our server now, we will have to run this command :\n\n    certbot certonly --nginx\n\nand follow the directions on the screen\n\nnow, as you have that set up, you can continue setting up your proxy, add SSL stuff :\n\n    http {\n        ...\n\n        server {\n            listen 443 ssl;\n            listen [::]:443 ssl;\n\n            listen 8448 ssl http2 default_server;\n            listen [::]:8448 ssl http2 default_server;\n\n            server_name matrix.yourdomain.tld;\n\n            access_log off;\n\n            ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/matrix.yourdomain.tld/fullchain.pem;\n            ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/matrix.yourdomain.tld/privkey.pem;\n            ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/matrix.yourdomain.tld/fullchain.pem;\n\n            ssl_stapling on;\n            ssl_stapling_verify on;\n            ssl_session_timeout 1d;\n            ssl_session_cache shared:MozSSL:10m;\n            ssl_session_tickets off;\n            ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;\n            ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256';\n            ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;\n        }\n    }\n\nno, we dont need to touch the `:80` one, that will always stay the same as it'll just redirect to https\n\ni won't explain these options, but basically only two lines of SSL things are required :\n\n    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/matrix.yourdomain.tld/fullchain.pem;\n    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/matrix.yourdomain.tld/privkey.pem;\n\nother stuff is sanity and security, i won't dig deep into it but basically this enables\n[ssl stapling](https://knowledge.digicert.com/quovadis/ssl-certificates/ssl-general-topics/what-is-ocsp-stapling)\nand also sets up some secure preferred ciphers so we know that secure encryption is happening\nat all times\n\nif you didn't choose to use the `CAA` record you may use only those two lines instead of all those `ssl_*`\nconfigurations\n\nand now, you are done setting ssl up on nginx\n\n### after ssl ( https )\n\nnow, we add our locations :\n\n    http {\n        ...\n\n        server {\n            listen 443 ssl;\n            listen [::]:443 ssl;\n\n            listen 8448 ssl http2 default_server;\n            listen [::]:8448 ssl http2 default_server;\n\n            server_name matrix.yourdomain.tld;\n\n            ...\n\n            location = / {\n                access_log off;\n                return 301 https://$server_name/_matrix/static/;\n            }\n\n            location ~ ^(/_matrix|/_synapse/client) {\n                access_log off;\n\n                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8008;\n\n                proxy_http_version 1.1;\n\n                proxy_set_header Host $host;\n                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;\n                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;\n                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;\n\n                client_max_body_size 512M;\n                proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;\n                proxy_buffering off;\n            }\n        }\n    }\n\n`location = /` sets up the `/` location of your server, it'll always redirect to\nthe dendrite static page so once you visit `matrix.yourdomain.tld`, it'll always\nredirect to the welcome page, so it doesn't look as boring, although you can just\nremove that, it's optional\n\nnow `location ~ ^(/_matrix|/_synapse/client)` is where the actual federation stuff happens,\nas always we turn off the access log and we pass our requests to our local dendrite instance\nrunning on port `8008` and then set up the following things :\n\n-   always set the http version to 1.1\n-   set a couple of headers ( such as `X-Real-IP` from before, this is used for multiple things )\n-   `client_max_body_size 512M;` states that the accepted body of a client cannot exceed 512 megabytes,\n    you can increase or decrease the size, this is only ever an issue in file uploads\n-   `proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;` sets the maximum size of a temp file, keeping it `0` disables the\n    buffering, which means the content coming FROM the proxy directly to the user, if not this\n    breaks downloads in matrix and makes it so they break and only partially deliver something\n-   `proxy_buffering off;` this is like `proxy_max_temp_file_size 0` but instead its TO user not FROM user\n\n## final nginx config\n\nafter all this work we end up with a config something like :\n\n    user www-data;\n    worker_processes auto;\n    pid /run/nginx.pid;\n    worker_rlimit_nofile 8192;\n\n    events {\n        use epoll;\n        multi_accept on;\n        worker_connections 4096;\n    }\n\n    http {\n        include mime.types;\n        default_type

now save the file and quit the editor, also, a tip : avoid gzip compression, it kills performance\nand cpu on your vps, it's painful, stick to vanilla\n\nyou can also add this to `http` block to enable [HSTS preload](https://scotthelme.co.uk/hsts-preloading/)\nwith which you can apply to [hstspreload.org](https://hstspreload.org/) :\n\n    http {\n        ...\n\n        add_header Strict-Transport-Security \"max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload\";\n\n        ...\n    }\n\n## finalizing\n\nnow, after all this your matrix server is almost done, all you have to do is :\n\nlog into the matrix user :\n\n    $ su matrix\n\nchange to its home :\n\n    $ cd\n\nkill dendrite :\n\n    $ pkill -f dendrite\n\nrestart nginx\n\n    # systemctl restart nginx\n\nrestart dendrite :\n\n    $ ~/go/bin/dendrite -config ./dendrite.yaml & disown\n\n## sanity check\n\nnow, as everything is up and running, make sure everything's okay by going to\n`matrix.yourdomain.tld`, it should show you the dendrite index page, if it doesn't,\nplease verify everything and make sure everything's okay\n\nif you cannot figure it out, you can come and ask in\n[#root:ari.lt](https://matrix.to/#/#root:ari.lt) or [#dendrite:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#dendrite:matrix.org)\n\n## new user\n\nnow, as everything works, you can log in as the matrix user and create a new account for yourself by\ngoing into the directory which you built dendrite in ( the one with `bin/` directory in it )\nand run this :\n\n    $ ./bin/create-account --config dendrite.yaml -username some_username -admin\n\nthis will prompt you for a password, dendrite doesn't seem to like passwords over 72 characters,\nso make sure it fits\n\nyou can also create normal user accounts by doing :\n\n    $ ./bin/create-account --config dendrite.yaml -username some_username\n\naka removing the `-admin` argument\n\nnow, you can log in with your [favourite matrix client](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/)\nsuch as for example [schildi](https://schildi.chat/)\nor [element](https://element.io/), have fun\n\n## concluding\n\ni hope i could help at least a little, it took me a while to figure out issues, solve problems,\nfind answers and come up with my own solutions, ask people, debug, etc etc etc\n\na lot of trouble went into this and i hope this popped up in your search engine whenever you're looking\nto solve such issues as :\n\n-   how to set up dendrite on nginx properly and securely\n-   dendrite matrix implementation on nginx not sending the full file / image ( partial send and then stream close )\n    -   main config options in <#:final nginx config> to look out for would be\n        -   `types_hash_max_size 2048;`\n        -   `server_names_hash_bucket_size 256;`\n        -   `sendfile on;`\n        -   `client_max_body_size 512M;`\n        -   `proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;`\n        -   `proxy_buffering off;`\n-   failing to sync data in ( android ) clients on dendrite matrix instance\n    -   still unsure why web works, but i think it's related to it not sending full files\n-   how to properly delegate a matrix domain\n-   why am i getting `M_UNRECOGNIZED` in dendrite matrix server\n    -   probably because you have forwarding set up badly, make sure to not have just `location /` for example\n-   why am i getting request signature errors in dendrite matrix server in nginx\n    -   also related to the `M_UNRECOGNIZED` problem, make sure to not overgeneralize the location, use `location ~ ^(/_matrix|/_synapse/client)`\n-   generally setup errors and issues with setting up dendrite with nginx and ssl\n\n## related error messages\n\n( just in case someone decides to look them up and

      "description": "some stories about my days spent in germany which i feel extremely nostalgic for, no matter how traumatizing it was to be there, i miss it and i'd choose it over lithuania any hour of the day lol",
      "content": "i was talking with my friend about stuff and i remembered the days when i used to live\nin germany, i miss it, i have bad nostalgia feeling because of it, even though the story\nwas kinda traumatizing, at least how it ended, while it lasted it wasn't the prettiest\nby itself, it was better than the ending lol\n\n## beginnings\n\nwell, the travel to germany was cool\n\nbefore the trip i had my stuff packed like a week prior and the last day in my village / town\ni spent with a couple of people, before i had to go, then some guy picked us up by car\nand we went to klaip\u0117da, i remember going into the ship and the stairs and hallway and whatnot,\ni remember the sheer size of it\n\ni remember the ship and the cabin i stayed in with\nmy family, i brought all my stuff to the cabin and whatnot, that day i also tried toblerone\nor whatever that chocolate is called for the first time, i payed like 5 euro for it \ud83d\udc80\n\ni also remember watching despicable me and stuff on my stepfather's at the time laptop,\nnot only that, also spongebob i think, but it was basically an animated film night for me,\nthe trip took just around 2 days if i remember correctly, i remember before the trip was\nover we ate at the cafe and before the ship came to the port, we went and watched it, but\nthis brings me back to the trip, my parents got drunk and went out to the shore to smoke and\nshit, and it was slippery and dark there, so like imagine small me left with an even smaller\nbrother on a ship with people whose language we don't speak and i don't have my documents and\nwhatnot, i'd be very confused on what to do, although i think my english skills at the time\nwould've helped me at least a bit, but yeah, i was scared for that, it all went fine though\n\ni remember then going off the ship, some lithuanian lady helped us to get off the ship as we had\nmany bags, my mother made a comment about her walking very fast and the lady got angry, i felt\nbad, but oh well, we got off the ship safely and were in germany\n\nwe ported off not far from a bus stop, which is where we went, i got a diet coke there on a\nvending machine, we left at 18:00 or so and we were heading somewhere, i don't really remember how\nit worked, but iirc we were dropped off next to a train station in kiel, which is where my\nstepfather's at the time friend picked us up by his car\n\ni remember going home then, watching the stuff outside, i remember us passing a bridge iirc,\ni can't fully recall it, but i remember the moment we were dropped off next to home, the grass\nwas very outgrown in the yard, i remember us going up the small stairs up to our apartment\nand me checking it out, then we didn't have anything there, not even beds, it was empty\n\nwell, i was lucky that day, because in germany we had days where people would put out free\nstuff to take outside, and me, along with my mother and brother, went on a walk, and found a\ngood closet or commode or something of sort then and i was given it to use it for mine and my\nbrother's things ( clothing and ofc my autistic hoard of things ), i can't recall if i had my\nlittlest brother yet, but possibly, but even if he existed at the time, he probably wasn't\nold enough to do much\n\nin the evening we also got beds, i can't recall how we got them, but we got them, i got the one\nnext to the outlet and window, next to my balcony door and my brother got one closer to the door,\nand my littlest brother, if he existed even, probably slept with my parents\n\ni remember how long i used to stay up in germany, my sleep was fully fucked, i used to go to bed\nat like 5 am and birds used to chirp and whatnot lol and only then i used to go to bed, and then wake\nup at 15:00 or so, probably watching youtube or something\n\nafter some time we got used to the life in germany, my sleep got better and we discovered and picked\nout main places to be, for example the kebab place, or the main store we used to go to, i remember\nus buying popsicles which was like fruit and it had a tip dipped in something which had like popping candy\non it, maybe it was like white coloured chocolate ? i can't recall much about it, but i remember that\nit was like 20 popsicles a box, if i could find it i'd show you, but i can't find it, i also recall the pond\nand the 2 supermarkets we used to go, the football field next to the kindergarten, which was next to some\nbig building and a bridge and stuff, it was cool\n\nanyway, i also remember a couple of stories from tht period\n\n## story 1\n\none day i remember my parents giving me a mental breakdown as it used to b their hobby basically, seeing\nhow far they can push my psyche til i break and then watch me melt down, i think they found\npleasure in mentally torturing me lol, well at the time it got so bad the cops even came, or something of\nsort ? i remember cops did come and were in our yard or somewhere close, but i can't recall if they\ncame to our home or not, but basically forced me to shut up lmfao, i was breaking down hard and it\nwas just `no`, but welp, that story didn't stick with me much, i just remember that my room got fucked\nup by me and people didn't take it lightly\n\n## story 2\n\nin kiel we used to live in a rented apartment and the home wasn't ours technically, we just lived there\nand payed money for it\n\none day the landlord said that some guy is going to come to check for pipes or something, and the dude\ncame, and as i was the only person who knew english then, i was forced to talk, the guy was talking about\npipes and how he needs to check them, the landlord told my parents to not let him, but i said 'yeah go ahead'\nas i didn't know any better, i was confused anyway\n\nanyway when i came home, i remember my mother screaming at me for stuttering and being anxious about it\nand letting him check the pipes, the dude pulled up google translate and my mother pressed english\nbro i wanted to pick lithuanian so her dumbass could understand what he was saying because i didn't know\nhow to reply, like bruh, i can't with her these days nor back then\n\n## story 3\n\nback in germany i had like a telescope thing and i used to do star watching when the sky used to be clear,\nit was nice, what made it shit was that my parents used to be drunk there 24/7 and in germany it isnt socially\nacceptable to have your children around in such condition, so i remember a story when i was star watching and\nwe got screamed at by some person\n\nwell none of us except one guy knew german and the guy said it was a threat abt police bc there were children\nout with them or something, i can't recall it well lol, but welp, then i went to my balcony to watch stars\n\n## story 4\n\nthis story is basically the ending of my adventures in germany\n\none day my stepfather at the time got crazy and wanted to kill us, i was in panic, because of course\ni was, i wasn't going to go down to some random alcoholic who abused me just as my mother did, bro\ntried to break my leg once even, but anyway, i was once again the target of the whole thing and\nhad to proxy everything to them as they didn't know any english and still don't to this day\n\ni had to call police, 2 times, i remember calling the police and panicking, the lady on the phone\nasked me to calm down and tell them the address and explain the situation and whatnot calmly, which\nwas hard when ur stepfather is trying to get u fucked over in a country you don't know the language\nof and are new to it lol\n\nthe first time, police warned him and left, the 2 nd time he was taken away to police and only came\nback a day later, at that point the pot water i had boiling was aggressively boiling because i was\nprepared to use it to burn him if anything lol, this whole thing lasted a good while lol, after that\nhe came back home and it was awkward, we moved out, but it wasn't as simple as just moving out lol,\nit was many fights, problems, funding issues, etc\n\ni remember the stepfather refused to pay for tickets to all of the members, he only was going to buy\ntickets for his children lol, i am not included and nor is my mother ofc, so we couldn't, but i don't\neven think he did that, his friend paid for our tickets back to lithuania and even took us to the port\nall for free when we had to put our stuff in trash bags as we didn't have much else\n\nbefore leaving germany, i remember going to the store one last time and buying some snacks for the trip,\nit was like a snacks kit, it was cheap and was better than nothing, we didn't have much money then\n\ni remember going by ship and the food for kids from the cafeteria was free or cheap or something like that,\nwe were hungry and we ate, the ship also had a playground area we used to play with kids in, it had a tv too,\nso it was a cool place to spend time when you can't afford mobile data for example, those 2 days were painful,\nbut we got back to lithuania, where my mothers friend picked us up from klaip\u0117da and took us back to\nour village / town\n\ni remember hanging out in the train or bus stop, seeing sky scraper( s ) there and whatnot, it was pretty\nboring to wait there for hours, esp as a child lol, nothing to do basically, i drew stuff, walked around the stop,\nmaybe, if i had games on my phone, played those, til the friend came\n\nthe friend's car was crowded asf and it was painful, but in a bit we were back home, back to a basically\ncompletely empty house with nothing but my cat in it and a weird looking spider and spider web in the toilet\nwhich i got scared of when i went to the toilet, nor us nor my grandma had much money at the time so we\nwere struggling for a good while, but it got sorted out after some time, we unpacked our things, set up what\nwe had left at home and ye, i remember once my grandma making us like waffles out of corn or something ?\nit was probably the best meal i had that month, but i was struggling with eating at the time too anyway so it\nwasn't much of a surprise\n\nbut eh, slowly got back to the life of a lithuanian and it all got sorted out i think, back to the lithuanian\ndream of pure bdsm misery was back as i was back at the old town i was in with the old people and old ways of\nthinking and everything as it was -- shit\n\n## nostalgia\n\nbut welp, compared to germany, lithuania is a total shithole and i miss it a lot, i hope i get to visit kiel\none more time someday and take a walk there or something, maybe i will, but who knows, im extremely nostalgic\nfor everything there even though i've spent most of my life in lithuania, just as i am now, i want to go\nthere and experience it all again regardless of the trauma, because that shortwhile was nice, i'd like to not\nrepeat the trauma but to actually solidly live there and exist amongst germans which from own experience\nare sane and nice people, germany also has good laws and economy, it just seems like a great country overall\nand maybe i'll get to re-experience something like this again someday\n\nmaybe even find the time capsule i planted when i was there, i remember putting an sd card in it too and\nit had stuff in it, idk what else i put there, but i do remember the sd card, i'm a memory hoarder\nand i am just painfully angsty that i can't review it or know what it is, what i put on there and experience\nthe culture of kiel once again\n\nit's so annoying and so nostalgic, but at the same time has so much trauma attached to it, so many fights\nand generally it was shit, but the country itself wasn't shit, the situation of crazy people around it made\nit shit and without them, i think it'd be great\n\n## concluding\n\ni cant stress enough how much i miss germany and how nostalgic i am for it even if it wasn't much experience\nin it, i still think it's much better than lithuania, in all of those years i've been in lithuania, i would\noverthrow it all by my little spent time in germany with alcoholic, abusive and borderline psychopathic parents\n\ni wish i could go back to it, and in the future i might lol\n\nari\n\n2023/12/13",

      "content": "**tldr** -- the key is `JNGYX-KDD9G-CKB93-8FBJ8-9TPR8` and im leaking it bc i dont use windows\n\nhi\n\ni got a new lappy like 3 months ago and i installed linux right away, although\nit did come with **[windows 11 home]** i think,\n( ref to <https://www.telia.lt/prekes/kompiuteriai/nesiojami/asus-vivobook-m1605-16-ryz5-8gb-512gb>, i got it there )\n\nanyway, all that aside, today i fucked around with my `/sys/firmware/efi/` and i thought\n'what if the original key was stored in efivars or acpi tables' and well, it was\n\nfirst thing i did was run this :\n\n    cd /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/\n    grep -rE '[A-HJ-NP-TV-Z2-9]{5}-[A-HJ-NP-TV-Z2-9]{5}-[A-HJ-NP-TV-Z2-9]{5}-[A-HJ-NP-TV-Z2-9]{5}'\n\nwhich searched for all windows keys, and it found 1, and in the found file there was\n`JNGYX-KDD9G-CKB93-8FBJ8-9TPR8`, then to verify, i decided to check acpi tables :\n\n    su -c 'strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM`\n\nand it gave me the same key, so well, i wanted to leak it initially anyway, meaning i am doing it now\nas i can, enjoy this, as well, i dont use windows and never plan to use windows, idk why laptops\neven come with windows smh\n\ngbye :3\n\n( pls consider not using windows and using linux or bsd instead, but if u wanna use windows 11 home,\nhave my key, fuck paying for an os that spies on u lol )",

      "description": "exploring the standards of linux, gnu, posix, bsd and alternatives, expressing my opinions on a bunch of shit, showing some distributions and talking about linux in general, its all based off my opinion and personal exp so take stuff with a grain of salt, it does have a bit of standard, distro and code basing kinda lol, just me expressing my concerns abt it and stuff, opinions, anyway enjoy, cheers :3",
      "content": "hi\n\ni wanna nerd abt linux if u want read if u dont then dont ty, easy simple, anyway,\nill literally b covering linux from a to z so like if u knnow linux alrd this probs wont b\ninteresting and u probs have ur opinions on gnu and whatnot, esp the start when im explaining\nbasics, this is all opinions and personal exp so like dont take anything i say to heart danke\n\nfirst topic lets get the basics -- linux,, linux isnt an operating system on its own,\nlinux is actually an open source kernel -- a collection of apis, drivers, standards and other stuff\nallowing to interface with the hardware via code, it handles anything hardware related and\nis basically the 2 nd lowest thing on ur computer -- first one being efi firmware, which handles\nhardware initialization, loading of bootloaders and general base settings -- like the\nspark plug of the computer\n\nbut u cant rlly use a kernel on its own as is, this is where gnu+linux comes in, first to explain what\ngnu even is :\n\ngnu is a non-profit organization founded by richard stallman in 1985 which aims to promote and develop\nfree and open source software ( foss ), it advocates for users' rights to study, run, modify, distribute\nand share pieces of software ( their code ), gnu has made a huge impact on the open source community by\ncreating open source license called [gpl](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html), a foundation named [fsf](https://fsf.org) and many popular open source projects,\na famous example being gnu bash -- an extremely popular shell used in many linux distributions\n\nalthough gnu has their issues with for example code quality, from personal exp gnu standards, code\ncleanliness, optimization and structure tend to b all over the place, well the code quality does vary,\nbut still, overall from what ive seen -- gnu code sucks, ill give it to them that the finished product\nis an easily usable utility with a good high level user interface, but like the code behind the scenes\nis horrid lol\n\nmy concern is that with such code less and less people will want to contribute and as gnu is extremely\nimportant to the open src community its very scary to see it be like this lol, i tried to contribute to\ngnu bash, boy when i saw that styling, structure and shit i ran away far far screaming for my dear life lol,\ni mean its not the worst gnu code ive seen but goddamn\n\ngnu also tends to fuck the standards lol, it doesnt stick to the core of posix, it adds its own things and\nthat not only enforces users to write bad code but also can make software slower, like ill give an example -- bash,\nusers tend to use bash over posix sh and bash scripts arent posix meaning it just sucks overall, bash also\ntends to b slower than just pure posix as it has more features and weirder standards, it can all b done in a\nposix script _basically_ just as easy, there are some caveats, but generally stick to posix sh lol, bash\nmakes u use their standards and i at least see standards as very important things, for example posix as per compared\nto not as solid or wide-spread gnu standards\n\nbut not all hope is lost with gnu+linux, a lot of distributions tend to strip out a lot of control out of gnu,\ngnu can handle many things including :\n\n- [userland utilities](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/)\n- [compiling code](https://gcc.gnu.org/)\n- [efi firmware](https://wiki.osdev.org/GNU-EFI)\n- [code debugging](https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/)\n- [booting process](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/)\n- [system initialization](https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/)\n- [package manager](https://guix.gnu.org/)\n- [... and much much more](https://www.gnu.org/software/software.html)\n\nmany distributions tend to use a couple of components of it, but at the end of the day its mainly users' choices,\ninstead of gnu coreutils u can use [busybox](https://www.busybox.net/)\ninstead of gnu gcc u can use [llvm clang](https://clang.llvm.org/),\ninstead of gnu-efi firmware u can use [tianocore](https://www.tianocore.org/),\ninstead of gdb u can use [lldb](https://lldb.llvm.org/),\ninstead of gnu grub u can use [systemd-boot](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/systemd-boot/),\ninstead of shepherd u can use [openrc](https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc),\ninstead of gnu guix u can use [portage utilities](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage)\nand so on, theres alternatives to everything gnu and the alternatives that ive mentioned\nhave alternatives -- its linux, the choice is urs\n\ntl;dr my main criticisms for gnu are code quality, performance and their standards, which can not only b\nless weird but can also b solid, simpler and generally id say most people would say better -- try posix :3\n\nbut thats where bsd comes in, during [the unix wars](https://wikiless.tiekoetter.com/wiki/Unix_wars?lang=en)\nbsd and linux were rival competitors, at the end linux won, but bsd is still a great choice today\nif ur looking for simplicity, solid standardization, great licensing, freedom, choice, re-usability,\nrecreate-ability and general cleanliness, bsd is very so-to-say correct and does not go off the track\never, although as it lost the unix wars its much less popular and has less support for drivers ( hw support ),\ncommunity support might suck, breaking changes might still happen and bugs might b more common as maintaining\na project almost the size of linux with a community significantly is much harder, meaning also harder to\ncatch bugs and stuff, although because of bsd standards its much easier to fix and its probably not as bad\nif theres a bug in bsd if theres one in linux -- the bsd standards separate stuff more so if one part is going\nto fail theres 10 to back it up\n\ni personally prefer bsd standards, but i like linux, but thats where minimalist linux distros come in, heres\na few examples :\n\n- [crux](http://crux.nu/)\n- [gentoo](https://www.gentoo.org/)\n\nthese distributions are source-based meaning u can change p much anything,\nalthough in this case gentoo would b a worse choice than crux\n\nand another good example would b\n\n- [alpine](https://www.alpinelinux.org/)\n\nit limits gnu stuff enough while still being a binary-ship distro, like using busybox for coreutils and\n[musl](https://musl.libc.org/)\ninstead of [glibc](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/)\n\n[void linux](https://voidlinux.org/) isnt the worst either tho, but id say a worse alternative compared to alpine\n\ngenerally id say gnu+linux is def important, but there should b a balance, and seeing how gnu treats their\nstandards, code quality and stuff id say minimize gnu\n\nbut yeah, enough abt gnu and stuff, even though its a huge part of linux, i wanna talk abt some linux distributions\nas ive mentioned before\n\nthe sheer amt of linux distributions is honestly beautiful, this just shows how much choice linux users have,\nhow versitile linux is and how generally amazing linux is, theres distros focused on perfromance and size ( alpine linux,\nvoid linux ), distros focused on user friendlyness ( [ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/), [debian linux](https://debian.org/), [linux mint](https://linuxmint.com/) ),\ndistros focused on user freedom ( gentoo, crux ), distros made for phones ( [android](https://www.android.com/), [postmarketos](https://postmarketos.org/) ),\ndistros made for servers ( debian, [rocky linux](https://rockylinux.org/) )\nand so on, its very cool\n\nalthough this can lead to a lot of bullshit, for example a user-oriented linux distribution\n[garuda linux](https://wikiless.tiekoetter.com/wiki/Garuda_Linux?lang=en),\nin my honest opinion -- it was one of the worst ideas known in the linux history, i mean its my\nopinion, but i truely do believe in what im saying -- its extremly huge, its extremely bloated,\nits horribly stupid and generally its a horrid distro, it takes more resources to run garuda normally\nthan it takes to run windows, like how do u manage to fuck linux up this bad lol, i never liked that\ndistro and never will, im sry xD\n\ni feel stupid currently, i forgot what i rlly wanted to even say abt linux distros, but anyway yh,\nthats it ig xD, this is\n\nbut theres some other stuff like corporate involvement, code size and community stupidity sometimes,\nbut oh well, like linux could not survive without corporate involvement so yeah, code size is huge, 27 mil\nlines of code probs even more now, and thats excluding stuff like coreutils, and stupid community decisions\nlike introducing rust into the kernel, but ig if i use it i gotta live with it lol\n\nlinux can sure b amazing, but some stuff def annoys me abt it, anyway, i def advocate for bsd more than gnu+linux,\nor at least non-gnu linux, idk, its all opinions and preferences, dont take any this to heart\nim just saying xD\n\nanyway, thanks for listening to my 124ing and i shall no go back to not touching grass or something,\nidk, cya next time

      "description": "how to insall and root ur phone ( xiomi 8 in this case ) using magisk and install lineageos too, p much it, it also has an exploit for mediatek devices to bypass the waiting time for unlocking, just a couple of commands and its unlocked, much better than the official method",
      "content": "_( probably works with other redmis too, but ull have to change some shit with firmware and whatnot )_\n\ni recently rooted my phone and installed lineageos so making this guide i guess\n( huge credits to ducky, a person on the linux gang discord server, who has helped me a lot through all of this )\n\n**warning** this will void ur warranty and this worked for me, i cannot guarantee anything for ur device, make sure both magisk and lineageos support ur device\n\n- lineageos supported devices : <https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/>\n- magisk supported devices : theres no such list, but if lineageos supports it ur probably good, although i would recommend asking ai, looking stuff up and / or consulting others for guidance\n\nrequirements :\n\n- at least 1 computer\n- windows ( **required** for unlocking the bootloader )\n- linux ( for everything else, although can b done on windows too, just easier on linux lol and as im a linux user this has more resources on that )\n- a xiaomi redmi 8 phone which is [supported by lineageos](https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/Mi439/) ( this guide might work with other redmis, but u will have to make changes in firmware and stuff u download )\n\n( u might want to dualboot or spin up a vm if u have access to a singular computer )\n\n**by reading further u take full responsibility for anything that might happen to ur device and want to see the tutorial**\n\n## abstract\n\nthis tutorial walks through the process of enabling developer options on a redmi 8 device,\nunlocking the bootloader using the official mi unlock tool, then\nthrough the process of installing lineageos through recovery,\npatching the boot image using magisk and installing it so u can have a rooted lineageos system, i also\ncover the process of recovery in case of a failed installation\n\nthis guide is for redmi 8 mainly, although if ur using it as a resource for other redmis\nmake sure to change out redmi 8 specific parts like partition flashing, roms, etc\n\n## part one -- developer options\n\nfirst u will have to enable developer options before doing anything, u might\nhave to repeat this step multiple times during the process of this tutorial\n\n- to to settings\n- go to miui version\n- spam click til it says 'u are now a developer'\n\nnow :\n\n- go to settings home\n- go to additional settings\n- go to developer options\n- enable OEM unlocking\n- enable usb debugging\n\n## part two -- host machine setup\n\ni personally used linux for most of this process, but i did have to use windows on my stepfathers laptop\nfor unlocking the bootloader ( mentioned below ), stuff u will need is simple\n\n- `adb`\n- `fastboot`\n\nthese tools are usually available as `android-tools` in linux, for example\n[the arch linux android-tools package](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/android-tools/)\non windows u will probably also require a few usb drivers, although i dont rlly have a clue,\non my stepfathers windows 10 pc i had to install\n\n- the drivers from the mi unlock tool ( mentioned below ) by pressing 'install driver' button\n- https://www.xiaomidriversdownload.com/xiaomi-usb-drivers-official/\n\nthen had to reboot the laptop\n\nbut at this step, if ur on windows, ull have to figure out what drivers u need and how to install\n`fastboot` and `adb`, everything else should work for both linux and windows\n\n## part three -- bootloader unlocking prep\n\n### exploit for mediatek devices\n\n( edit @ 2023/09/07 )\n\nif u have a mediatek device, u can try out <https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient#unlock-bootloader>,\nthis method was tested ( discovered ? ) by once again ducky ( who helped me do all of this android stuff\nin the first place ), and it works, b aware of <https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient#unsupported-chipsets>\ntho\n\nusing this method has these advantages, top one being the most important :\n\n- **the 7-day unlock time is bypassed**\n- no need to remember ur mi acc password as ur not prompted with it\n- u can re-lock the device and keep ur warranty so they cant tell that it was ever flashed or unlocked\n- no need for a sim card, mobile data or a mi account\n\nand as per disadvantages, ill just leave this quote by ducky himself :\n\n> actually, if you're on a mediatek device, absolutely not, in fact, it's\n> objectively better AND easier than the official method\n>\n> just hold two buttons, plug the cable in, run a command, run another one\n> to reset the device, unpluig the cable, profit\n>\n> correction: two commands\n>\n> you still need to wipe data\n>\n> that's one command\n>\n> I was being extra safe and I backed up the seccfg partition\n>\n> but not needed\n\n### official method\n\nxiaomi devices come with a locked bootloader, meaning u have to unlock them,\nin our case we will use the official [mi unlock tool which u can download here](https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html)\nwhich is only available on windows, i have tried everything else, including ( but not limited to ) fucking around\nwith adb and the unofficial mi unlock tool, but nothing worked, so its best u just get\na laptop with windows or maybe a vm with usb passthrough, maybe find some better solution that works\non linux ( or ur setup ), but idk\n\nafter downloading the tool, run it and log into ur account using ur password and phone number\n( password will be required later so make sure to note it or something, make sure to not make it very\ncomplex because the password will be required to type by hand later ), if u dont have one, make sure\nto make one\n\nthen connect ur phone to ur pc using a usb connection and make sure to allow usb debugging when\nit prompts u to enable it\n\nthen open settings -> additional settings -> developer options and\npress on 'mi unlock status' and then :\n\n- make sure u have a sim card inserted ( u have to keep it inserted always for it to unlock )\n- turn off wifi and enable mobile data\n- press add account and device\n\npress agree and follow the instructions\n\nthen u will have to wait a painful long while, at least a week if not longer,\nxiaomi **_really_** hates users who want to gain control of their device, it might be anywhere\nfrom a week to months, nobody knows, but all u have to do at this stage is\n\n- not log out of the mi unlock tool ( yes u can close it, but not log out, logging out resets everything )\n- wait\n- check on it semi-weekly ( like every 1.5-2 weeks or so )\n\n### how do u know that u are legible for unlocking ?\n\nwell, just repeat the process of running the tool, connecting and whatnot\nand one day u will see that the 'unlock' button will b available\n\n## part four -- bootloader unlocking\n\nnow, as u can unlock the bootloader, dont jump straight into it, make sure :\n\n- u know ur mi account password and it isnt so complex u cant type it by hand\n- u have all ur data backed up ( this step will erase all data )\n- u dont care about the warranty ( this step will void it )\n\nthen, if ur device is ready and all set, press 'unlock', this step shouldnt take long, it should\ngo by pretty quickly and then ull b booted into a stock rom basically\n\nwhen u boot into it, u will b prompted for ur mi account password to unlock ur phone,\nenter it and thats it, after this step u will have to repeat the enabling developer options\nstep again\n\n## part five -- lineageos installation\n\n**this part might fail, if it does, just see <#:recovery>**\n\nnow, as ur phone is fully unlocked and set up for lineageos, its time to flash it, for redmi 7a, 8, 8a and 8a dual\nthe rom download page is <https://download.lineageos.org/devices/Mi439/builds> so grab the latest build from there\nand extract it, also make sure to download `super_empty.img` from the builds page as its not included in the build zip\n\nnow, connect ur phone again with usb debugging enabled and fastboot it using this command\n( on windows ull probably have to use cmd.exe or powershell or something, not a clue ) :\n\n    adb reboot bootloader\n\nextract ur build ( make sure u still have the zip of the build saved, but do extract it ), `cd` into the\ndirectory, make sure u have the `super_empty.img`, then flash the needed partitions for installation through recovery :\n\n    fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img\n    fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img\n    fastboot wipe-super super_empty.img\n    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img\n    fastboot boot recovery.img\n\nif the `wipe-super` command is not found, make sure ur adb is up to date\n\nthese commands vary based on what firmware u have, always make sure to consult the lineageos wiki,\nfor example <https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/Mi439/install/variant2>\n\nthen using volume and power keys go to factory reset -> format data / factory reset and format\neverything, this will erase _everything_\n\nafter that go back to the home menu of the recovery, press 'apply update' and select 'apply from adb', then\nuse this command to fully install lineageos :\n\n    adb sideload lineage-<...>.zip\n\nthe zip is the one u downloaded from the builds page\n\nif something fails, try to flash the stock rom first, which is covered in <#:recovery>,\nafter it is all done, proceed to boot into lineageos\n\n## part six -- magisk installation ( rooting )\n\n**this part might fail, if it does, just see <#:recovery>**\n\nin the extracted lineageos zip there is a `boot.img` file, save it on ur phone using `adb push boot.img /path/on/to/phones/storage` or anything else\nu prefer and install the [latest magisk app from their releases by downloading the apk](https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)\nthen open the magisk app, press install, check both 'patch vbmeta in boot image' and 'recovery mode'\ncheckboxes, press next, press select 'select and patch a file' or something, select the `boot.img`\nand patch it, after its done patching, transfer it back to ur computer using preferred method, i prefer\n`adb pull /path/on/to/phones/storage/magisk_patched-<...>.img .` personally\n\nnow fastboot ur phone again, making sure its still connected, then boot the patched image :\n\n    fastboot boot magisk_patched-<...>.img\n\nthis boot into rooted lineageos, when it boots, go into the magisk app, press 'install' and select 'direct install',\nwhen it asks for superuser access, allow it, then itll install\n\nafter it installs, u are now free to reboot into ur rooted lineageos system\n\n## part seven -- verifying root\n\nnow, after u boot into ur rooted system, verify it, go into magisk and see the 'superuser' tab, if its grayed out,\nur phone isnt rooted, if u can access it, then it is rooted, even then, not counting that in, in the 'install section'\nit should show that u have magisk installed and should show u the version of magisk installed\n\nif it didnt root, maybe proceed to repeat the rooting step or seek community support\n\nand if it did, ur done, enjoy ur new rooted lineageos system :)\n\n## recovery\n\nif lineageos is working, but u borked ur boot image, just fastboot and run this :\n\n    fastboot flash boot boot.img\n\nwhere `boot.img` is ur original boot image ( u can get it in the lineageos build zip ), then just reboot\n\nelse, if something failed and u only have fastboot access ( meaning u havent bricked ur phone ) its easily fixable :\n\n- download default fastbot rom, for redmi 8 its <https://miuirom.org/phones/redmi-8#Global> ( older firmware -> fastboot ( currently 4.05 GB tgz file ) )\n- extract the tgz using `tar xvf <filename>.tgz`\n- `cd` into the directory\n- make sure ur phone is connected through usb\n- run `bash flash_all.sh`\n- boot into stock rom\n\nand well, if ur phone is in a state where it wont even boot into fastboot, i have nothing to say, best of luck\ntrying to fix it :), a person told me <https://new.c.mi.com/global/post/460894> might b helpful in such state",

      "content": "today i was talking to people about trans stuff as i am trans myself, it all\nstarted by me talking to one of my friends about it bc she wanted to so yh, we did,\nand i thought it might be interesting to share\n\nso, the topics will include :\n\n- suicide\n- gender dysphoria\n- other social issues\n- transitioning\n- medicine\n- discrimination\n- harsh reality of being trans\n\nkeep in mind, i am no professional or anything, ill just be talking from my personal\nexp, other trans ppl i met exp and publically available statistics, and obv not talking\nfor every trans person\n\nso, i feel like its an undeniable fact that being trans isnt just roses, tulips, cakes\nwith cherries on top and strawberry scented perfume, its a constant fight for your rights,\nquestioning, discrimination, genocide and suicide\n\ntrans people are very suicidal, and do u rlly think its a coincidence,\n[the statistics speak for themselves](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32345113/)\nand its only proven by the fact that terms like\n[transgender suicide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_genocide)\nexist, not only that, theres many other publically available statistics that just\nprove my fucking point, no matter how much i fucking say it, like\n[worse healthcare and more addiction, mental illness, etc ( w : statistic from 2015 but i doubt much has changed )](https://www.amsa.org/action-committee/gender-and-sexuality/transgender-health/)\ni could go on and on about statistics, but these are just few things out of like a billion\nthings why being trans sucks, which also should be enough proof for transphobes that being\ntrans is in fact, not a choice\n\ncontinuing the saga, being trans alone is literally close to fucking impossible,\nbeing individualistic is hard bc of discrimination, how the world treats you and so on,\nsuicide rates are high as mentioned, meaning having someone is def needed, getting\nproper trans care is hard, waitlists are long ( 1-3 yrs from what ive searched )\neven then its not guaranteed to be good healthcare, people wait for yrs to get it\nand people die in the process due to usually, well, mentioned suicide, even if u\nmanage to wait it out, ull have to do it again, and again, and again, it never stops,\nthe system is built to kill and torment trans people\n\ni also feel like a 'diagnosis' for gender dysphoria is complete and utter bullshit, i mean\nwhy do i have to prove if im 'trans enough' to transition, do cis people have to prove theyre\n'cis enough' to get hormones, for example cis men getting TRT, they can just go to their\ngeneral practitioner and get it, but oh if a trans person needs it they have to go through\nmultiple psychologists and psychiatrists, get on multiple large wait time waitlists, try to\nget a prescription, lie, face many troubles just to do the same thing cis people can get done\nin a couple of days lol, it feels like this is just an extra step and an excuse for trans\ngenocide, this also enforces an idea of 'transgender = mental illness' bc you have to\nget a diagnosis to be 'medically' trans\n\nin the mean time we can only continue fighting, expressing ourselves, protesting,\ntalk to people, educate them, share\nour experiences, call out, poke fun and just show how ridiculous this transphobia rooted system\nis, how fucked up and deranged it is, hopefully more people understand it and accept it instead\nof being trans seen as a shameful thing people should be killed for, we, as trans people,\nhave to work as a community if we want greater good for us ( current generation of trans\npeople ) and future generations of trans people and thankfully we realised this way before\nand are working towards, so if youre trans or an ally, dont be quiet, educate, support,\ndo something about it,\ndont stick to an individualistic mindset of 'what will this do *to me, and only me specifically*',\nthink about what will it achieve for the whole community rather than you specifically\n\nand for future generations of transgender people, you are 'trans enough' even if that exists\n\nand as per my personal exp, its not good either, i mean its gotten better over the yrs and\nlithuania is moving forward, but its very far from perfect and its still a very anti-lgbt\ncountry which has a lot of room to improve, not even related to lgbt stuff, in general, lithuania\nis piss, online i still get quite a bit of transphobia and many people like to use the fact\nthat im trans to make me look bad, which is extremely stupid, but oh well, what can u\nexpect from transphobes right lmao,,\n\nanyway, the final message id like to leave before going is :  let go of your self-centered mindset\nand work towards the greater good of the entire transgender community, including yourself,\ndont remain in the shadows of ignorance, instead, raise your voice and fight for equal rights until\nwe are all treated as human beings once again\n",

      "content": "right so ... schr\u00f6dingers crush\n\nlet me explain what a schr\u00f6dingers crush even is, basically i just made this thing up, based\noff [schr\u00f6dingers cat](https://wikiless.tiekoetter.com/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat?lang=en), lets say ur in the same\nsituation as me right now, u hate to love and love to hate, ur crush is basically ( although figuratively )\ndead, which is what i will talk about today\n\ni think ( actually i probably know ) that i have a schr\u00f6dingers crush, i wont mention him by name, but lets\ncall him idk jack if itll be relevant\n\nanyway, ive been crushing on him since around 8 th grade, now im soon-to-be 10 th grader and im starting to have\nmore of a hate for him than love, ive spent quite a chunk of time on him, worrying abt him, thinking abt him,\ngenerally crushing on him, its sad but it happens, oh well, most ppl just get over it, although if u\nspend enough time on a person and like them a lot like me, u develop a **schr\u00f6dingers crush**,\nwhich is quite painful, i hate to love him is what im trying to say lol, ive had my fair share of rose\ntinted glasses by now and am seeing him now, like im not in anything serious with him but hes def more to\nme than just 'some rando idc abt'\n\nanyway, few reasons :\n\ni dont like the way hes perfect, like hes crazy perfect, all in looks, social life and skills, hes very\nattractive, as proven by literally everyone finding him attractive, hes opposite of what ud call *bitchless*,\nhis proportions are good, hands a nice, hes tall and i find his voice somewhat pleasing but sometimes i just\ncant listen to it lol hes very social, friendly and nice and hes VERY skillful, hes like cracked at everything, hes wikipidia\nsquared, he knows so much its just damn, ppl only having specific knowledge at something like me with it can beat him\nat one specific subject, hes so perfect its hard to see his flaws, which is very annoying,\ndue to this everyone likes him, treats him as flawless and like some sort of monarch i feel like lol\n\n... due to that, hes also very overpowering, lets take school as an example, right until he wasnt my classmate,\ni.e. this yr, to me he looked like the perfect, smart, cute guy, although this yr were classmates and i uh, thats\nno, bad, teachers love him and give him priority, even then, jack just talks, but if he doesnt everyone just\nexpects jack to say smt at this point, only time its rlly not that bad to talk to him is when hes not in school,\nits not as overpowering and u just get less scared and actually have a way in something rather than being\nshut down by some 124 ( \ud83e\udd13 nerding \ud83e\udd13 nerd \ud83e\udd13 idc abt ur paragraphs \ud83e\udd13 shut up \ud83e\udd13 talking to a wall )\nnerd lol, i mean i feel bad for saying this but still, its annoying as a fellow classmate of his that hes like this,\nwhat makes it worse is that hes my crush\n\nonce, around the start of the yr iirc, he also pulled a 'dont let them know ur last move' move, basically we\nhad to present our favourite person, i presented my best friend iirc or grandma idr, others presented their\nfamily and stuff, u will not guess what this smart ass of a man presented ... andrew tate, omg, andrew tate, that\nsmooth ass egg looking mf whos a proven sex trafficker, misogynist and an abuser, thats HIS FAVOURITE PERSON,\nliterally nobody expected that from him, the class went so silent when he presented him ... its just woah, anyway,\nthats my first huge red flag for him, but oh well right ? if he doesnt act on it or anything its fine ? right ????\n\ni uh, yeah, uh, he acts on it \ud83d\udc4d obv not as bad ( actually idk, idk what he does in his free time lmao )\nas andrew tate ( bc that would be illegal ), but def makes weird comments publically, for example in politics class\nwe had like a lesson abt womens rights, he literally laughed at it, and not like its the only time, he did it\nmultiple times, although i cant fully recall it, i def remember politics class, two incidents, 2 nd was abt abortion\nrights where he once again laughed at it\n\nalso one more weird thing, i cant recall if it was before the womens rights incident or after, but basically, in english\nclass, him together with his friends were making fun of me being lgbt lol, like im fairly 'lgbt looking' irl and\nclass knows i think lol, although i never said it directly, anyway, as ive mentioned it was english class at the time\nand when they made fun of me english teacher got so man, like yeah, i get it, but omg i literally almost started\nshaking, i got red and embarrassed, confused even, it was such a painful situation, like yes, im grateful for it,\nbut oh god, i even asked 'what happened huh what huh' and she just shut me lol, i feel sorry for them,, but i mean,,,,,,\ni,, i dont think i do ? do i ? i mean idk tbh, eh, so this just adds to his pile of bullshit\n\nanyway, i think this is enough to prove he isnt flawless like i thought and p much everyone to this day thinks, hes\nopposite of that and thats why i hate to like him, hes not what he presents as, hes fucking horrible, i mean,\nhes not horrible, but hes not good, omg, i feel like im giving him such a large chance to look good but hes fucking\nit over, its so annoying, its like the rose tinted glasses are superglued on me, im fucking over this so much,\ni hate it, its painfully hard to get over my feelings for him even though I WISH i could, i hate it, its bad and\new, i wish i just didnt need to see him lol, i wish i didnt feel anything for him and i was free to see him as just\n'some weird nerd rando i dislike', wish i could see him anything but perfect, thankfully my rose tinted glasses\nare falling off at a rapid rate and i hope it stays this way lol\n\nanyway, hope u never have to go though a schr\u00f6dingers crush, get out of this delusion as quick as u can, get out of\nthe rose tinted glasses stage as far as u can, i stayed in my delusion and now im here, crushes dont go anywhere\nusually anyway, so fuck it lol, drop it while u can\n",

      "content": "hi\n\nim fucking exhausted from today, i mean not that it was physical or anything, its\nliteral saturday and ive been just too depressed to get out of bed, although a thing made\nit much worse and almost pushed me into a panic attack\n\nbasically a friend of mine has been threatening to contact a person i like a lot recently,\nlike sure, thats fine, idc, but she always makes it seem so creepy, like she wants to make me\nlook like a stalker, but especially today, she wrote a love letter and threatened me to send it,\ni begged that she wouldnt and yeah, then she actually sent it and said it had my name on it\nand i believed it as the original one had my name in it and all, she already threatened me to do it,\nshe threatened other times to contact him for me ( like one time, which also sounded so creepy\nwas when she wanted to *'scare'* him into talking to me, like imagine how creepy that would be ) ...\ni went full panic mode, first depression came but then my anxiety and anger took over, i told her\nto go fuck herself ( including the rest of the people who saw this happen ) and went away to try to cope,\nmusic never helps so i scrapped that, then i went to hit my head, that just made me nauseous, then\ni looked for more coping mechanisms but i was too tense to be able to look at everything at detail,\ni was pulling my hair to release some tension, but yeah, guess what she did next, she fucking told me\nshe didnt do it and put her name instead, like omfg, did she just want to play with my feelings\nor something, play with me like a toy, im very sensitive and i told everyone that multiple times,\nshe knows how i reacted to other of her attempts, etc. i felt horrible and even more anger took me\nover but at that point ( even though it was only like 10 mins ) i was too tired to scream, then\nmore depression and remorse came over me so i apologized\n\n( for context i always magically feel like shit in history lessons ) this friday ( aka yesterday )\ni had history, like always i felt a bit poo but its fine, nothing unusual, the lesson went as usual,\nthe subject we went over went ok, next lesson ( i had 2 histories in a row ) we had to do some tasks,\nsure, i started doing them, i did almost all of them but he ( being my history teacher ) kept talking\nabout some map, like i knew what map but he gave us some task, i was confused, i asked him what the task\nit, instead of telling me like a normal person, he begun shouting, he took a classmates work and shoved\nit in my face, shouting how 'i was supposed to do this' like wtf am i supposed to get out of a\ncoloured map, then he told me, we were meat to colour parts of the map ... THAT WERE ALREADY FUCKING\nCOLOURED OMFG, after that, when i was hurrying to do it as i was embarrassed and hurt already he told\nmy friend, which was sitting next to me, to give me her work or smt, at this point i was feeling horrible,\nbut oh well, i refused and i told him to stop being like this, 'its fine, i didnt ask for it, stop, please\nstop' trying to make his ass stop bc i felt tears coming in, he did stop, good, after that i asked her\nfor her work so i could do it quicker anyway as i felt shit enough already from history and now the teacher\nwith added embarrassment, the lesson ended, i walked out of the school feeling like garbage, its fine\nthough\n\nthen, on thursday, we had religion class, the whole day they were taking stuff from a person, shes\nkinda quarter friend, but that day it pissed me off, she kept talking and talking abt it, we also\ntalked more than usual that day, etc. and it annoyed me, so basically, in religion class the friend\ndidnt have her phone, i had a chance to take the phone from the person who stole it ( bc omg i found\nit so fucking annoying ) so i took the chance, i walked up and tried to take her phone from him ( the\nperson who stole it ), i failed but oh well, went back to my seat, after that the most annoying motherfucker\nout there, i wont say his name but lets call him p ( so him, p, etc. dont mix ), p decided to make a comment\nhow i need a psychiatrist and even 'offering' to take me there, i just replied that i already have one\n( as i do ), i said 'yeah ? to g, shes a fucking bitch' i said ( assume g is my psychiatrist ),\nthen there, as a classmate who has the same name as g said 'im not ur psychiatrist' and i said something\nalong the lines of 'cool, shes kinda a bitch, yalls personality kinda resembles', like i dont like g ( the classmate )\noverall, but i can bare her, she pissed me off so i just said how it is, anyway, that was a fucking\nmistake and in conclusion to this day, i need to mind my own business and stop getting annoyed when the\nsame fucking person talks about the same thing over and over again lol, i have a bad habit of taking action\ninto my own hands if it bothers me, anyway\n\non tuesday and wednesday as far as i remember nothing much happened and same for monday as once again i just\nspent my day in bed, depressed, as i didnt have school\n\nmoving a week forward, on wednesday, omg, once again, the music teacher being an annoying bitch,\nshe has a habit of being entitled and being sure she did something when for a fact she didnt, like\none time she said she definitely told us to learn parts of mass ( as in christian mass ) as a music\ngenre, sanctus or whatnot, when she fucking didnt, she didnt, nobody knew that and the max grade was 9\nlmao ( we use 1-10 here ), now this time, once again during a test, we only had listened to 10 songs\nbut she gave us a test from 20, although this time she was a bit more sane and gave us time to listen\nto the songs we need and told us that we can write next week, but she still insisted she told us and that\nwe listened to every song, when in fact we only had listened to 10 of them, oh well, next week we wrote it\nand it went ok, i got a 9, possibly bc i mistook song #11, but i dont know, well see next week\n\nnow, some misc things that happened and i dont remember when\n\n- some day school psychologist made a microsoft teams group ( as were forced to use that piece of shit )\n  with a few mentally unstable people in school, including me, in a month were having days where we have no school\n  but we do practice work and stuff, so she suggested for us, unstable people, to join, actually i might lol,\n  all other lessons sound like shit and i dont want to work that hard during those days, psychology will be like\n  self discovery and stuff, i found that funny how in a school of like 420 or smt people i was added there,\n- i finished reading 1984, i enjoyed it, i presented it and this week i gave my work to the teacher to\n  rate and stuff, well see how it turns out, hoping its fine\n- i havent done serious code in a while so thinking about developing something, maybe a package manager ( maybe\n  even some linux distro from scratch ), maybe a programming language or smt, i kinda want to work on something\n  bc i feel like im losing motivation lol and idk\n- i have *a lot* of tests coming up, like almost 2 weeks straight of tests lol, horrible, im terrified,\n  i had such thing before already, i did horribly, i got such bad grades from all of them because i was overwhelmed\n  by so many tests, this will probably be the same, lovely\n- i dropped my daily calorie intake, wont give any numbers, but my body isnt taking it well, i mean it was\n  small before, but its even smaller, am not able to maintain it that good, like i dont go over the limit\n  but i feel worse, like today i stood up and just fell to the ground like a bag of bones\n- overall, im losing my life more and more, i quit therapy and stuff ( ive talked about it before ),\n  so im just there losing my last hope lol, oh well, too bad\n\nanyway, hope this wasnt too painful to read, for fun me and my friends read some fanfics and omg theyre\nso badly written i cant, hope u dont have the same exp here, til next time\n",

      "content": "## warning : this post includes spoilers !!\n### ( if u want my work, im happy to share it, although its in lithuanian, email me : [ari.web.xyz@gmail.com](mailto:ari.web.xyz@gmail.com)  )\n\ni just finished reading 1984 as i needed to pick a book to read for school\nand i already wanted to read it so yeah, i found a lithuanian translation and\nit was honestly extremely good\n\nbasically of a summery of my work\n\n> Throughout their diary entries, the reader provides a comprehensive and engaging account\n> of their journey through \"1984\" by George Orwell. The reader discusses each chapter\n> or section of the book that they have read, summarizing the events and themes\n> covered and providing their own thoughts and insights.\n>\n> The reader notes the pervasive and extreme methods of control used by the Party,\n> including censorship, propaganda, and surveillance, which are designed to maintain complete\n> obedience and conformity among the population. The reader also describes how Winston's character\n> is subjected to torture, brainwashing, and degradation, leading to his ultimate subjugation and submission to the Party.\n>\n> The reader expresses their admiration for the book's writing style, which\n> they describe as engaging, well-crafted, and emotionally resonant. The reader notes\n> that some parts of the story are difficult to read due to their disturbing and emotionally\n> intense nature, but also acknowledges the book's ability to\n> provoke strong emotional reactions and convey important messages about power, control, and individual freedom.\n>\n> In addition, the reader provides an in-depth analysis of various themes and motifs in the book, such as the nature of truth,\n> the power of language and thought, and the dangers of authoritarianism. The reader also reflects on their\n> own experiences and emotions while reading the book, offering a personal and vulnerable perspective on the story.\n>\n> In the end, the reader gives the book a rating of 11/10 and highly recommends it to others. The reader's diary entries are a\n> thoughtful, nuanced, and comprehensive analysis of \"1984\" and its themes, while also conveying the emotional\n> impact of the story on the reader.\n\nbasically, i found book very interesting, the beginning and middle were very fun to read, but\nthe end was scary, basically, even though i didnt have much to say, i liked it, it showed how winston\nchanges over time and stuff, how winston gets so brainwashed into submission by the party into loving\nbig brother, how he falls into submission that 2 + 2 can be anything, how he and jualia betrayed\none another and what at first seemed fluffy love with a cliche storyline, it ended in a heartbreaking\nstop to their relationship and then the death of winston with his brainwashed and crushed personality\nafter a lot of torture and jailing\n\nits a very engaging story with an interesting storyline, ive only read one good ( but not as good )\nbook, white shroud ( baltoji drobul\u0117 ) by antanas \u0161k\u0117ma, both had a very nice story line and i really\nenjoyed reading them, both of them showed strong emotion which i really liked, characters faced trouble\nin life but somehow managed and overall they were good books\n\nwhile reading 1984 i made this blog post -- <https://blog.ari.lt/b/corporate-marionettes/> and\n1984 was an inspiration for me even though i already used that term before ive read it, thats why\n1984 still stands to this day, in the age where companies get a monopoly on peoples data and algorithms\nso good to keep u on there its like the party shoving u into its ideologistic system, which many people\nare brainwashed, like winston at the end, to not resist and follow their trails without saying a word\n\none of the most striking parts for me is how much impact totalitarianism makes to a human mind, winston\nwas healthy and was correct, party should be overthrown and is not stable, it is an oppressive mess\nbuilt on hate and discrimination, but then they turned him into a weak bag of bones which was easily\nforced into submission and their ideology, they turned him into a toy without any will or identity\n\nto conclude, i think anyone interested in power, control, truth and individual freedom should read it, its\na lovely and interesting book and i think a lot of people would enjoy it\n\nhave a nice day, hopefully i peaked your interest a bit :)\n",

      "description": "basically a dupe of 'transgender' post without me even knowing lol",
      "content": "omfg at this point i have to say something, its pissing me off how much transphobia is affecting me and\nother trans people recently, as a trans person, MTF, i get quite a lot of hate just from being trans,\nwhether its online in trolling, bullying form or irl bullying, other forms discrimination and so on, i\nfucking hate how the world is currently, so let me talk about it\n\nfirst up, let me define what transphobia is, transphobia is defined as follows :\n\n> Transphobia is a type of discrimination or prejudice against transgender\n> or gender non-conforming individuals. It can take many forms, including verbal\n> or physical abuse, exclusion from social or professional opportunities, or denial\n> of basic human rights. Transphobia is based on a lack of understanding or acceptance\n> of gender identity that does not conform to traditional binary notions\n> of male and female. It can have serious negative effects on the mental health and\n> well-being of trans individuals, leading to depression, anxiety, and even suicide.\n\nbut i call it 'the feeling that makes me feel shit at every moment of my life and any\ncomments can set it off, although im too much of a pussy to say anything about it bc i am a useless\nanti-social idiot on top of that i get treated like dog shit except that at least gets picked up :)'\n\nthe current state of trans people as a group is bad, everything is going to shit and it seems like\neveryone is going after us for everything, ive met so many transphobes in the recent times and tbh\nim scared to say anything about it, like i want to, but i cant, my brain isnt letting me, im\nscared and i cant do anything about it, like tranphobes made me think that standing by my own points\nis bad and should not be done but instead you should suffer in silence and say nothing abt it,\nwhich is total fucking bullshit, i am so fucking done with all of this i cant, i want to be able to,\nbut its just fucking impossible, my brain has that engraved and i hate it, i feel like a trapped rat\nin their prison of bigotism and discrimination, at this point if a person finds out im trans and they\ncomment about it i feel the need to be sorry about my identity and say 'im sorry that im trans, you\nprobably think im gross and shit, sorry' or something along the lines of that, it feels like\nwe, as a group of people are being forced into some sort of modern hitler-esc ideology where the world\nis monogamous and anything else than that should be made extinct\n\nnone of this is pretty or good, i might say its 'fine' when youre being directly transphobic to my face\nbut its really not and behind your back im not happy with any of what uve said or done, i use laughing\n( even online ) to deflect tension, i hate it, why do yall feel like we have to fit into your fucking\nclosed off box of little one-braincell ideology, fuck this shit and fuck you for doing all the shit you\ndo to make our lives as painful as you can, your complaining about how its 'unnatural, gross, ungodly,\nbad, cringe, stupid, confusing' and etc. is so fucking annoying, we already are a very small group with\nvery little rights and on top of that yall overpower us with like 2387678296789326% of the population going\nafter us, like come fucking on, get a life and stop being a plain fucking asshole, im so sorry for using\nsuch stupid language but i am so fucking mad at so many people and theres nothing i can really do than\ncomplain about how shitty their behaviour is\n\none of the [situations](https://user.ari.lt/#89) that triggered me to write this is mrbeast situation about the 'karl effect' or\nsome shit, god i see transphobes cling onto that so much on the internet now, its painful to even watch,\nits gross, this is nothing than pure homophobia and transphobia\n\nanother situation is me actually facing anti-lgbt stuff both irl and online today, wont get into\ndetail bc i dont want to\n\nand what do u know, [texas loves this shit too](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/25/texas-agriculture-department-dress-memo-sid-miller)\n'consistent to their biological gender' my ass, my brain hurts from the stupidity of transphobes,\ntheir hitler-like ideology, stupid fucking idiocy which keeps bothering me\n\nthis isnt just a US issue either, this is very relevant is every country and continent, for example, even in\neurope, which id consider fairly developed, this is a large issue, we still face issues with healthcare ( actually\nA LOT of issues ), employment, education, and housing, this is especially visible in like poland and hungary where\nits like built in lmao, lets not forget to mention my homeland of lithuania, being any type of lgbt anywhere\noutside capital city of vilnius is terrible, i face a lot of anti-lgbt comments, bullying ( to the point of physical\nharassment ) and so on, everywhere and anywhere i go, i even get spit on sometimes just bc i dont present\n\u2728 typically male \u2728, omfg, i hate this, but america, africa, australia, asia and so on also have the same issues,\nin america its right-wing individuals who are trying to shunt down transgender people all bc it doesnt fit into\ntheir conservative view of the world ( and so, they should be made extinct ), africa due to religious and cultural\nviews on gender and sexuality, australia is progressing but trans people still have quite a lot to deal with both\nsocially and access to services like healthcare and asia, once again about religious and cultural views\n\nnot that i find this funny, but its funny how close minded people are everywhere around the world, i mean yes, there\nare people who are truely open minded, but theres so many people calling themselves tolerant 'as long as i dont see them'\nor 'as long as its not my kids' or some shit, or freak out whenever a trans person comes out and they go attack\nthem just bc, actually in my psychology class we had a similar test, basically like 99% of the class called themselves\ntolerant, including myself, then we were questioned and questioned 'would you accept this person if they were a part of\n[some minority]' and other questions, they were related to race, culture, religion, sexuality, gender, etc. and guess\nhow many hands were left at the end out of 29 ... 2, fucking two, me and another classmate, omfg, i find this so fucking\ncringe and just terrible, how can you call yourself tolerant if you do this shit, my god\n\ni also find some of the reasons funny, like 'its religion' or some shit, like alright, believe in what you want, but\nhow does that give you the right to discriminate against and stuff other people ? how does that change the\nfact that youre transphobic and want people dead ? how does that change anything that youre doing, its still horrible\nand not acceptable, this applies to anything, ive heard people use the same excuse over and over and over again\nfor all sorts of topics, including racism, homophobia, transphobia, abilism and fatphobia, which none of those\nare okay\n\nanyway, concluding, transphobes fucking suck and everything about them is cringe, bad and theyre little pricks with no\nlife, i hate how many people like that exist in all shapes and sizes, in all countries, all identities, cultures, races,\ncontinents, unions and so on, but i guess ill keep pretending 'its fine, you can be transphobic, yeah i totally\ndont care, im sorry for being so gross and bad in your eyes, ill try my best to not be trans :))'\n\ntake care .\n",

      "description": "corporate marionettes -- people who are getting their brain controlled by companies",
      "content": "i unironically use 'corporate marionette' to describe people who are sheep\nto companies, usually in context of digital privacy, which is becoming a more and more\nconcerning issue and worst part, nor people in power nor general public isnt doing anything\nabt it, its genuinely sad to see how brainwashed people are and how much they dont give\na fuck about it, not understanding ( actually not even wanting to understand ) how big\nof an issue this is and how theyre basically marionettes for companies\n\nin this post 'corporate marionette' will be referring to the more specific digital\ncorporate marionette and not general corporate marionette, although there might be\nmentions of both types, the primary audience of this post are people who're ( if i say\nwhore, i dont mean whore, i mean who're ) interested in digital corporate marionettes\nand people who are willing to learn more about it and are stuck in the corporate marionette\necosystem :)\n\nbefore reading this, please keep in mind that i talk a lot about proprietary stuff, as that tends\nto be more evil than open source, but keep in mind open source companies can still be creepy and weird\n\nlets start off with the issue itself -- at a high level this is purely a digital privacy issue,\nbut under it, we have more issues, including addiction, bad education, other mental health problems\nand ignorance, sometimes even if youre aware its hard to make the switch without dropping\nhalf your life down the drain, todays society is focused on being a corporate marionette, once\nagain due to the same issues\n\nwe already broke the problem down, so lets address some of the issues one by one,\n\nfirst -- **addiction**, many people, probably including me ( although im unsure ), are addicted\nto technology, they get hooked on the dopamine rush they get from various medias online,\nlets say youtube has videos and shorts, instagram posts and reels ( although ive never heard anyone\nuse them srsly ), tiktok is purely an addiction machine, twitter has a very good algorithm\nthat runs on rage ( yk the feeling when someone says something obv wrong and you correct it\nand yall keep talking abt it and none of you wants to give up ? )\nand so on, every big service runs on addiction and data collection, all are algorithm-ised,\npeople keep going down the addiction hole and companies keep mass mining their data and its just\nan infinite cycle of addiction and violating your freedom, privacy and so on until youre so deep down\nthe addiction hole you have no escape\n\n**bad education** about digital privacy and general IT is also a huge problem, digital privacy is\nbecoming more and more relevant as the new world is becoming more and more digital, companies\nget access to so much of our lives now its crazy, it sometimes feels like you can survive purely\nin that world and be just fine, almost every service has gone digital, from registering medical\napts to shopping, from entertainment to communication and so on, people arent aware of how much\ndata companies get and how much can be extracted from it and so on, people are so ignorant to the\nfact that data = power, also, IT education is also horrible, here in lithuania at least, its terrible,\nall we do is make word documents basically, in older classes we do get some more serious education,\nalthough its nothing serious, its mainly focused on specific proprietary software and how to use it,\nwhich\n\n- isnt applicable anywhere outside that specific software as its\n  usually 'so u press this, then that, then press this, drag that\n  and this is how u import a picture in word'\n- doesnt teach people anything\n- does not teach anything outside IT that isnt 'computer = word = windows = chrome = OS = number'\n\nits stupid how bad IT education is where everything is so digital\n\n**mental health problems** is also related to **ignorance**, some people are just so broken\nmentally they cant be bothered to give a fuck about anything, and not like social media with\nplastering of numbers, insecurities, triggers and addiction ( this is the PERFECT formula for\na social media site, make it cause mental health problems which eventually will lead to depression\nor something similar and then be the seemingly only remedy that will help it )\nwill make it better, so companies profit of that people ( not specific mentally ill people )\nlive in ignorance and they keep feeding into it\n\nand then theres **dependence**, even if people are fully aware people face issue of de-transitioning\nfrom that specific software or ecosystem, e.g. apple feeds of this with their hardware and software\nbeing so incompatible with everything, being so good at integrating their software and hardware\nand giving people such status ( tbh it feels like the apple ecosystem is just a huge cult ), or for\nexample friends and general social communication, i have this issue with discord, ive suggested multiple\nopen source alternatives to friends and even offered to build one myself, they refuse to switch no\nmatter what so im stuck using discord as i know how problematic discord is and how shit it is, how much\nof a data farm it is, how much it shoves nitro peoples asses, how much of a pedophilia problem it has\nand so on, i hate it, im also somewhat stuck on youtube, i had a project in the works which woulve\nbeen a good alternative to youtube, ive had it planned and stuff, but then just stopped working on it,\nalthough now its a mess and ive worked on it somewhat, a lot of UI and stuff, which i find distracting,\ni might rework it though, the problem im having is that it has so much content i watch and music and so on,\nits a nice service, although it works on my very hardened profile unlike discord so i can at least\nmitigate it more, with discord there isnt as much briar between it and me\n\nthe cycle of it continues, we need to unite if we want to have a free ( as in freedom ) world,\nelse we wont get out of this creepy data-driven idiocy, make it paid or something, but omg, i want\nmy data, you can have my money, but my data is very important to me and i dont trust this fucked up\nsystem\n\nanyway, hope i at least explained some of this enough for you to get worried enough and join me\nin the act of stopping companies abusing users data and actual digital freedom instead of false\nand misleading marketing which turns people into sheep to fall into their sheep farm\n\ncya\n",

      "content": "shit shit shit shit shit\n\ntoday has been **_shit_**, i hated existing at every moment of today,\nthere was nothing good about this\n\nfirst, short but painful day, i was tired today, shit ( but short ) lessons\nand just bad, then the first 2 classes were lithuanian, made my lithuanian\nteacher hate me, she even basically said for me to shut up, but yk, in a corporate\ntype of way, like 'stfu nobody cares' => 'please dont say anything else', i had to\npresent a thing with my group and i was stuttering, i was very stressed, i\ncant speak without stuttering when im stressed, i have to either talk really fast\nor i stutter, in this case both happened, my lithuanian teacher got pissed at me\nand now she probably hates me, then i had to rate my own work, i did my work, i\nworked with my group, i helped to manage the group and shit so i rated myself 4/10\nfor at least doing the work, then i realised my friend didnt like my opinion\nabout the thing i was presenting and probably another reason why the lithuanian\nteacher told me to stop talking mid way through my reading, so i corrected my grade\nfrom 4/10 to a 3/10, i could lie and give myself a 10/10 like most others, but i really\ndont want to get into trouble and just get an even worse grade than 3/10 lol, this is\nmy reasoning why i gave myself a 3/10 to my teacher ( translated from lithuanian to english ) :\n\n> 4/10, i was working but when i presented, i got very stressed and nervous about\n> it, i don't think i should get a 2 because i helped the team, worked,\n> did my part of the job and tried to organize the team\n> ( for example, i helped to assign tasks, tried to manage [ classmate's ] refusal to work,\n> i checked how things were going, etc.), but i dont know how well i did and it was\n> clear that the teacher didn't like my part,\n> so considering everything, i think i should get at least a passing grade -- 4.\n\n> 3/10 that + my opinion was bad\n\nmy opinion about the book i was presenting was this ( once again translated ) :\n\n> i did not like the book \"benedikto slenk\u0161\u010diai\" .\n> this book seemed superficial and boring to me .\n> the first chapter was not bad, as it talked about benedicts childhood,\n> but the other slenk\u0161\u010diai, when he grew up,\n> were tedious and i barely wanted to read them .\n>\n> in my opinion, the author described benedicts life in too much detail,\n> which could have been conveyed in a shorter way .\n> also, there are not enough interesting details in the book\n> that could inspire the reader to read further .\n> the last chapters ( slenk\u0161\u010diai ) were sad and poor, with a lot written about sex and love,\n> as if we hadnt read about it in recent years .\n> in my opinion, the author also described these\n> topics in too much detail, which could have been conveyed\n> in a shorter way, but with more interest .\n>\n> my final rating for this book would be 4/10,\n> because although the book is not the worst,\n> it does not have enough interesting details to captivate the reader .\n\nsame thing happened in art, except this time i had points to work with, still got a 3/10, but\neh, basically i had my work ( mosaic ) finished and the art teacher told me to rate myself, the\npoints ( every point has 2 points max ) were given to me and all i had to do was\nto rate myself, here are the points, scores and reasons i gave :\n\n-   methodical work in the lesson, preparation for the lesson\n    ( 1 point, i did work in the lesson but i kept forgetting my glue at home\n    so i borrowed my friends )\n-   originality, interpretation, search for ideas\n    ( 0 points, its literally just a paper with pieces of paper glued on representing\n    a stupid and badly made flower )\n-   artistry ( 0 points, its not artistic nor is it anything pretty )\n-   disclosure of topics ( 1 point, the theme was flower and its obviously a flower, but its badly made )\n-   technique ( 1 point, i mean i did glue pieces of paper on a sheet of paper )\n\nso yeah, conclusion to this is that i suck at school, i am a literal fucking failure,\ndidnt even manage to get a 4/10\n\nsince DOML #3 some shit happened too, for example i quit my IT club ( due to depression ),\ni quit therapy ( do i even deserve it lmfao ) and so on, fell back in and out of my depressive episode,\nbegun noticing how much hairloss im having, probably due to anorexia and shit,\ni keep having panic and anxiety attacks, nothing is good,\neverything in my life is going to shit and i cant to anything about it, but at least one funny\nthing happened which is how my physics teacher gave my notebook to the school psychologist\nwithout telling me ALL BECAUSE I WRITE IN SMALL LETTERS ONFG WHAT THE FUCK LMAO\n\ni think my friends also begun hating me, idk, they seem different to me, it feels like\nthey hate me for no reason and it seems to clear to me that they just dont like me\nanymore, i think i should stop talking to them but even then wouldnt that be rude\n\neverything makes me sad and / or feels like theyre hating me, its just\nshit\n\nin conclusion i suck, im stupid, everyone and -thing seemingly hates me\nand everything in my life is going to shit and i cannot do anything about it lmao\n\ngoodbye lol, cya next time ig\n",

      "content": "hello dear parents\n\ndo you suffer from doornotcloseitis ? well, there is no treatment for such an evil\ncondition, but, being the royal woman i am, im here to help, so please take some time\nout of your day and read this, this should help with your doornotcloseitis, this medical\ncourse was verified by the dda ( door and drugs association )\n\n## what is a door ?\n\na door is an important part of a building, it is a barrier that provides privacy, security,\nand protection from the elements, doors are typically made of wood, metal, or other materials,\nand can be opened and closed in various ways\n\ndoors are used to separate interior and exterior spaces,\nthey can be used to control the flow of people and goods, as well as to provide a sense of safety and security,\ndoors can also be used to provide ventilation, light, and sound insulation\n\ndoors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be designed to match the style of\na building or the specific needs of the user, they can be single or double-hinged, sliding,\nor folding, and can be fitted with locks, handles, and other hardware, many doors are also equipped\nwith sensors, alarms, and other security features.\n\ndoors play a vital role in the safety and security of a building,\nthey can be used to restrict access to certain areas, and can help to protect people and property from intruders,\nthey also provide a sense of privacy and security, making people feel more comfortable\nin their homes and workplaces\n\ndoors are an essential part of any building, they provide security, privacy, and ventilation,\nand can be designed to match the style of a building or the specific needs of the user\n\n## what is a door handle\n\na door handle is a device used to open and close a door, it is usually made of metal or plastic\nand is attached to the door with screws or bolts, most door handles come in two parts :\n\n-   the latch, which is the part that is pulled to open the door\n-   and the knob, which is the part that is turned to open and close the door\n\nthe latch is usually made of metal and is usually spring-loaded, so that when the knob is turned,\nthe latch slides back into place, the knob is usually made of plastic and is designed\nto be comfortable to grip\n\ndoor handles come in a variety of styles and finishes, some door handles are designed to match the decor of a room,\nwhile others are more utilitarian in design, there are also door handles that are designed to be decorative,\nsuch as those made of brass or bronze, many door handles also come with a keyhole,\nwhich allows a key to be inserted to open the door\n\ndoor handles provide a convenient way to open and close a door without having to use a key,\nthey are also a great way to add a touch of style to a room, door handles are an important part of any home\nand should be chosen carefully to ensure they are both functional and aesthetically pleasing\n\n## how do i close a door ?\n\nclosing a door is a simple task, but there are a few key steps to ensure that it is done properly\n\nfirst, stand close to the door and grab the handle, pull the door towards you firmly and make sure\nit is in the closed position, if the door has a lock, turn the knob or key to secure it, next,\ncheck that the door is completely shut, if it is not, push the door gently until it is fully closed\n\nfinally, if the door has a latch or lock, double-check that it is secure\n\nto ensure the door is closed properly, it is important to be aware of the environment around it,\nmake sure that there is nothing in the way of the door that could prevent it from closing,\nif there is, move it out of the way, additionally, check the hinges and frame to make sure\nthey are in good condition and that the door is not sticking or binding\n\nclosing a door is a simple task, but it is important to make sure that it is done properly,\nfollow the steps above to ensure that the door is closed securely and that it is not blocked by any objects,\nadditionally, inspect the hinges and frame to make sure they are in good condition,\ndoing all of these steps will help ensure that the door is closed properly and securely\n\n## conclusion\n\nhope this helped, if youre a parent i now sincerely hope you understand what a door is now and\nhope that your doornotcloseitis will be better from now on, i hope this helped and youll be\nthrilled to use your newfound knowledge from now on\n\nhave a nice one\n",

      "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",

      "description": "doml #3 -- school, informatics, physical education and my pc fan broke ;-;",
      "content": "hello world\n\nhavent updated this blog in a while so i thought i might as well now,\na lot of things happened since my last visit here\n\nfirst up, today was once again a bad day, like on monday, on monday i kept losing stuff,\nkept having bad luck, bad grades, etc. -- today was the same, i kept losing stuff, my pen\nexploded and worst of all -- i only finished half my math test, dont get me wrong, the test\nwas easy, i was doing okay, but each question was like 7 parts and there were 5 questions\nso i wasnt able to finish it in 30 minutes, i only managed to do 2.5 / 5 tasks, that\nmade me feel horrible and i couldnt stop thinking abt it, i almost had to leave school\nbc i was very shit mentally, it affected me so much for some reason, but oh well,\nig if i get a low grade ill just rewrite it in consultations :/, today i also found more\nbad traits abt my crush, i alrd knew hes an andrew tate stan bc he made a whole ass talk\nabt him in english class, the theme was 'my favourite person', but today in patriotism\nclass we were talking about women's rights and my crush was just making fun of it the\nwhole time, its just sad and cringeworthy, why did i fall for a guy that ( a ) doesnt\nlike me and ( b ) is a dickhead, i also ate too many calories today, wont give any numbers,\nbut it was quite a bit for me and that also added on top of everything today, its just\nugh ...\n\nmy pc fan broke, well, now its fixed, but thats one of the main\nreasons i havent been able to write here, i didnt have my pc, i could have\nwritten on my phone but it isnt the same plus my pdb database ( basically\njust a custom password database format ) was on my pc while it was being\nrepaired, i could have fixed it myself, but i didnt have the needed part, it cost\n52 euro and itd only come on 03/06, so i just took it to the repair shop, it\ngot done faster and it cost less -- 50 euro, as a bonus my broken keys got fixed\nso im happy, now i got a fully functional pc for cheaper than if i fixed it myself,\nplus i didnt risk anything lol soooooooooo\n\na couple of days ago, on monday, i asked myself why i hate pe so much, and i\nwrote a bit abt it sooo lemme tell you, i was stressed about pe as i have pe on mondays,\ni kept thinking and just was stressed beyond belief, i wrote about how this\nhappens every day i have pe, how im stressed and how it makes me feel bad mentally,\nthe first point i wrote about -- gendered groups, ig its more of a 'gendered education'\nthing, but at least here in lithuania its barely here besides, well, pe and arts and crafts\n( idk we call it technologies, but dont mix it up with informatics ), in arts and\ncrafts we can pick the gender group no matter the gender so its eh, i wrote about how\nit causes me gender dysphoria, thats one of the largest reasons it causes me stress,\nthen i wrote that it feels bad dressing out of uniform in school, 'its probably just my\nautism' i wrote, but eh, idk, its just that it feels bad being in a school environment\nbut dressed up this casually, it feels bad and it just idk, weird, but not like id\nlike to stay in my uniform doing pe anyway, itd stink, sweat and itd be uncomfy, so lol,\nalso i wrote that pe clothing is just too lose for me as im used to tight black clothing\nas thats my main 'style' if you can call it that, im also scared of pe assignments,\nim very weak physically and im terrified of a bad grade in pe, it makes me overthink\nif im good enough, strong enough for pe and makes me stressed, im scared of judgement,\nit feels like the teacher, the children and everyone in general is watching me and waiting\nfor me to fail so they could make fun of me, might be irrational, but idk, im not the only\none who feels this way, i know bc i asked, i also dont dress up in school, i come in with\npe clothing, but uniform on top ( its only a jumper ), when pe comes i just take off my\nschool uniform and thats it, i get underessed at home during the lunch break which for me\nis 40 minutes, after pe i feel gross and tired and it takes me around 2-3 classes before\ni fully recover, until then i am unable to work at my full capacity in turn making me inefficient\nand stupid, thus risking a bad grade once again, theres 0 positive things i can say abt pe,\nmy teacher is also most likely a pedophile, he stares at girls asses whenever he can get the chance,\nas im in the girls group, i joke abt him staring at my bony ass but its just sad how such\npeople have a job with kids, he also at test times forces me into the boys grp, so he expects\nto to perform as good as a buff ass kid who is having the time of his life, like who would win,\na depressed anorexic with crippling anxiety or a buff ass dude, its annoying, i cant take\nsuch load\n\nbut good news ...\n\ni dont have to do pe anymore, my doctor wrote me a paper that states that i cant do pe anymore\nand im super happy abt it, no more stress that kills me every monday and wednesday, its nice,\ni got that paper bc of my weight and other health problems\n\nthis whole week for me was mainly a depression hole, i mean still havent gotten out of it,\nbut idk, even my room reflects it lol\n\nprevious week i also got 2 diplomas or whatever, both for the IT contest i went to, i took\nthe 1 st places in both my school and my city, although not my country, but eh, oh well ig,\nits rare that anyone takes the 1 st place in the country part lol\n\nwell, i cant think of what much to say anymore, comment if you want, im happy to hear yalls\nopinions and stuff ig, well, cya next time which will probably be soon, cya :)\n",

      "description": "doml #1 -- the start of the series abt my life, mental health, overwhelmed",
      "content": "as of now its 03:23 am in lithuania, i am writing this to just write something\ni dont feel like just staying in pure quiet, listening to the rain, feeling the\ncold, hearing my homeserver do stuff, decided to start this thing called `DOML`,\njust me writing about days of my life, what i am thinking and so on, normal\ncontent like tutorials, emotional stuff, sharing of open source news, opinions and\nso on wont go anywhere, but i want to have some sort of series on here, so why\nnot this, this will be a good practice for me to write text, get creative maybe,\nlearn more visual writing, expression and so on, should be nice\n\nright now im quite tired, but not really, its a weird feeling,\ni mean i would gladly go to bed, but i dont see the need for it really\nand i just dont want to sleep, idk, i got stuff to do for tomorrow, for example\nprepare for school, take a bath, clean and reorder my room, do my homework,\nread a shit ass book for school which i only read 49 pages of, im probably\nnot going to finish it in time but eh, who cares\n\nmy timetable for school changed, its shit, on monday i have pe as my first\nlesson, and i already ***REALLY*** hate pe, i mean i never liked this much physical\nwork, but then theres few things about pe that just make me die inside, from\nworst to 'eh idrc kinda idk' :\n\n- gender dysphoria\n    - the teacher makes us go into 'boys' and 'girls' groups and i am not\n      fully transitioned, although usually im in the girls group, but when\n      it comes to grading i get treated as a 'boy' ... i get the same tasks\n      as the buff kid in my class, i am a 38 kg stick, hes a muscly giant\n      who has been training non-stop for like 3 years \ud83d\udc80\n- anxiety\n    - every day, class, hour, minute, second, etc. before pe i get the worst anxiety,\n      during pe it usually worsens, but if i talk to my closer classmates, like\n      i dont like considering people friends really, but theyre just 'people i know'\n      usually, it gets better, but even after pe i still have \u2728 that feeling \u2728\n- pe makes me feel gross\n    - i dont dress up for pe in school as per the reason listed in the 1 st place,\n      i come to school with my pe clothing already on, on top of that my\n      uniform, which is just a jumper so i dont mind, but after pe i feel gross\n      and hot, so i just have to wait for like 2-3 ( or now, purely 3 ) classes\n      so i could go home, get my grossyness sorted out and dress up normally\n      in my lunch break ( which is 40 minutes, i usually come back at around the\n      30 mins mark )\n- hypocrisy of the teacher\n    - the teacher makes us do weird sports things and i never see him do any\n      of it, we always do it while he just stands there and watches us suffer,\n      everyone is dying, like even the healthy people, its even worse for\n      people who have shit health\n\nprobably more, but im too lazy to name it all, worse of all -- pe is a mandatory\nclass in lithuania, meaning you can just drop it, which is depressing, after pe on\nmondays i have psychology, which is such a noisy lesson usually as the teacher\ndoesnt really control the class 'traditionally' so to say, she talks, but she never\nsays anything/much if theres kids screaming or smt, so like, im tired and anxious after\npe and then ill have to deal with a loud class \ud83d\ude2b after that its all good on monday,\n2 math classes, lunch break, 2 chems and lithuanian grammar\n\non tuesdays my first lesson is technology, like crafts and stuff, i dont mind it too\nmuch, kinda a fine lesson, then physics and 2 german classes, after that lunch break,\n2 geographies and math, this is fine\n\nomg and then we have wednesdays, 2 lithuanian literature classes, so ill be\nexhausted, after that -- patriotism, which is basically just reading articles,\nlast thing i want after 2 straight hours of reading is more reading and then\nguess what, fucking pe, pe, omfg, then lunch break and then boom, math, theyre\ntrying to kill us fr and after that its okay ig -- music and biology\n\nthursday didnt really change much so idc, but friday is \u2728 no \u2728, 2 lithuanian\nliterature classes, then art ... in the middle of the day ... i had art as my last\nclass last semester and like art is such a lesson you get really out of it after\nit and you just dont feel like doing work anymore, but then they make us do\nenglish, i mean idrc as english is quite easy for me but eh, then lunch break and then\nthe slowest teacher's class of all -- 2 histories, the history teacher is so slow,\nistg, its like watching a youtube video on 0.25 speed \ud83d\ude2b\ud83d\ude2b\ud83d\ude2b\ud83d\ude2b\ud83d\ude2b like its my last\nclasses and i cant wait to go home in my last classes and they just decided to make\nthem the longest \ud83d\ude2b\n\nso yeah, fun \ud83d\udc4d\n\ni also had plans to clean and reorder my room, i still do, but i find no energy\nfor it and if i do find the energy for it, i dont have the time or if i do have both,\ni dont have the brain power for it, for example on friday i was going to do it,\nbut i was exhausted, then got energetic again, went to my grandma, came back, family\nstarted being ass to me so i logically cried myself to sleep, thats how my 'cleaning\nand reordering of my room' went, i thought i was going to do it today, no, i didnt\nhave the time for it, i went out with my best friend and we spend like 4.5 hours\npreparing for her mothers birthday, she seemed happy ( her mother, and well bsf ig )\nso im fine, came back and had no energy, i mean as of now i have more energy, but i dont\nhave the brain power for it and also its like 4 am so lol, tmrw will probably not be\nmuch diff, ill have no energy for a fact and as im not doing well emotionally rn\ni dont think thatll go away tmrw, but oh well\n\nwhen i cried myself to sleep yesterday, it was just overwhelming, i was tiredish so i was\nmuch more vulnerable to emotions, then my parents started talking shit about me, then\nmy brothers started screaming, then my middle brother begun screaming antilgbt stuff to me,\nthen they both begun doing shit to annoy me, then my brain remembered \u2728 everything \u2728\nthen just then, i could add like 10000 `then`s and it would not be enough, so to just\nsummarise, it was too much, i broke in half and didnt want to live around anyone, so i\njust went to die temporarily by going to cry and falling asleep that way\n\nthen i woke up in the morning and started this day, although first regretted waking up\nlol\n\nthen my best friend texted me and well, we went out and did the stuff, this just\nloops around now\n\nomg, this blog post is consistent, i mean i didnt start from the beginning,\nbut its also not so much of a mind clutter as the 'idk something' blog, i mean it was\nintentionally just a clusterfuck of thoughts, but this is nice, i mean i kinda like\nthat i chose to not start from the beginning, i mean it wasnt intentional, but yk,\nstill kinda cool\n\nanyway, maybe you enjoyed this carousel, i will probably continue this series, although\nidk how consistent this will be, i just want this to be a thing, cya",

      "description": "being a lab rat is a feeling i get quite often and i think this is a good place to share it lol",
      "content": "i have been comparing myself to a lab rat for long, so here is\nhow it feels to be a living and free lab rat living amongst people\n\nlets start from why i even call myself a lab rat, i feel like i am\none, theres no better word, i could call myself a sick person or something\nbut that doesnt describe my feelings as well as 'lab rat' does, i feel\nlike everything being done to me, doctors, medicine, mental health\nstuff, hospitals, even talking to people sometimes feels like a lab\nexperiment and i am their test lab rat, this is what i mean :\n\nwhen it comes to doctors i feel that its super invasive, everything is being\noverdone, being called things and so on, apparently being anorexic means youre\nsuper hard to look at, it feels like they picked the worst specimen to see\nwhat would happen to a weak person if they had this treatment\n\nmedicine-wise it feels like im a test subject of all drugs, i have to drink\nmany, i hate drinking them, so i dont, at this point i dont give a single\nfuck, i am tired of this lab rat feeling, it affects my whole body, not only\nmy mental health, but physically i just feel much weaker when my mind is at\nlab rat stage, im never free from it\n\nmental health too, the same thing as to doctors applies here, it feels like\ntheyre talking to me just as a weird experiment, like a lab rat being\ntalked to on drugs to see how it affects the rat or something, like some\nweird ass research project that would change something, idk\n\nhospitals feel like lab rat cages to me, 4 blank walls, maybe 1 or 2 extra\npeople in the same room, single door, quiet, sterile, controlled, fed with\ndrugs and shit food, forced, no free will, prison, a cage, a lab rat cage,\ni just cant stand that, every year i have to stay in a hospital between a 1 week\nand 2 weeks bc of heart stuff, i hate that feeling, once they had no places\nin the hospital to stay for me, they let me go home, it was nice at least\n\nand when i talk to people, sometimes, it feels like theyre just doing it\nto see what happens, to see how will i respond to certain things, like say\nsome outrageous stuff about my beliefs or identity or just talk to me\nbecause im autistic or something, it just feels like theyre poking me around\nto see what moves, what doesnt, how i react, like giving rats different drugs\nto see how it affects their problem solving ability or something, like\ngiving it a maze, drugging it and telling it to solve it again, its stupid\n\nit feels like a living nightmare being a lab rat, i feel like im constantly being\nwatched, judged and experimented on, every decision i make, every move i make,\ni feel like im being monitored and judged, i feel like im being treated like an animal,\nlike im nothing more than a lab rat\n\ni feel like im being treated like a test subject being given drugs\nto see what happens and how i respond to them, like a game of poking around,\nlike im being manipulated and controlled, like im a puppet in some\nweird ass experiment\n\nim being treated like a specimen, like im nothing more than a test subject,\na lab rat, nothing more than a piece of living flesh and a pea sized brain to be poked,\ntested, monitored and just living a life of a lab rat stuck in a cage of life\n\ni feel like im constantly being tested, examined, like im nothing more than\na lab rat in a maze covered by a glass pane, i feel like im being treated like an object,\nlike im nothing more than a tool for someone elses gain, im im a lab rat,\nnothing more than an experiment\n\nim like a rat in a cage, im being observed and studied, im nothing more than\na specimen in an experiment, not even an experiment, just random, useless\npoking around for fun, like im nothing more than a test subject in a lab,\nin a cage, covered by a white sterile drape, with wires going out and in to my brain,\nmuscles, tissue, food and water\n\nthank you for listening to this rant kinda, now you know how it feels to be a living lab\nrat in a maze of life, maybe you can relate too, maybe both of us are just 2\nsad little rats, separated by a sterile, white cloth, well never see each other,\nbut at least we coexist <3\n",

like theres absolutely nothing i can think of putting\non there, personal projects go on my own github, which is like \u2728everything\u2728 so ... do i just make\nthe org and leave it empty lol ? i mean kinda a waste, idk\n\ni keep thinking about my psychiatrist, i found a person irl who goes to the same one as i do\nand theyre not having a good time like me, my psychiatrist is like a total unqualified bitch,\nleft her a few low/terrible ratings and 1 star reviews, if i could id give her 0 stars,\nshe doesnt even deserve the 1 star, idiotic shit\n\ngonna go to my grandma tmrw maybe, i wanna go for a walk, although its already pretty\nlate so if i dont fall asleep ill probably be dead tmrw lol, either way, i have\nnot been very energetic for the past couple of months lol\n\nngl overthinking is no, i overthink a lot and i keep getting mad at myself for\na lot of things, like what could have i said and stuff yk lol, this shit is even making\nme think to stop going to my psychologist, like i overthink the psychologist sessions\n***SO MUCH*** lol\n\nwatched a video a couple of weeks ago, it was about autistic trans ppl and as im an\nautistic trans person i was interested, seems like we, the autistic ppl, are 11 times\nas likely to be trans compared to an average person, its apparently also a sign of\nautism to have issues with your gender, which makes sense as i always had issues\nwith it, sad to know that 'its just a sign', but still, i also noticed that the time\npasses by faster the older i get lol, becoming a true grandma now\n\ni told my psychologist one thing, it was something like this, just in lithuanian obviously:\n\n> ill be honest, i hide some stuff from you and other doctors, the lithuanian mental\n> healthcare system fucking SUCKS A LOT, like A LOT A LOT, i have to lie or just hide\n> things from you because i dont want to get put into a mental hospital, mental stimulation\n> depravation makes my mind go into a \"bad mode\" which is literally what a mental hospital\n> is, i lied to you multiple times already to try to not get put into one and in lithuania\n> all they do is just shove you into a mental hospital and just give 0 shits about you\n\nso yeah lmao, lithuania fucking sucks for mental shit, getting mental healthcare is hard\nenough here, but getting proper mental healthcare is *impossible*, you have to watch your\nevery word if you dont want to just get shoved into a mental hospital, its fucking idiotic\n\ni kinda like this mind cluster-fuck of a blog post, its nice just thinking of shit and\njust typing it out lol\n\na person gave me a question idr how long ago but it was\n\n> if youre so depressed why dont you kill yourself already\n\nwell, i still want to see what life can offer until my ultimate demise, i mean\nso far it isnt anything good lol, but oh well\n\nwas watching my hands like a week ago and i found that they look a lot like frog hands, like\nthe bones and shit, fingers, just  f r o g  lol\n\ntoday i saw how bloated rust is, so, i shrunk my `/` part to `20 GB` few days ago and it was\nfine and uh, i decided to start my system update today and rust source code takes up 11+ GB\nof storage, funny because firefox takes up much less while being a much more complex program,\ngod, rust is a fucking disappointment lol\n\nremember how i was bald last year ? i was gonna shave my head again, then decided not\nto lol, it was a whole mess, i was scared, thought id probably feel good for a split\nsecond, but then like shit and then just polls and shit and ugh it was a mess, i just\ndecided to keep my hair, glad i did\n\nhm, im digging deeper and deeper into my brain, we went from christmas to this, interesting,\ni mean thats kinda what this blog is, me digging deeper and deeper into my 1 braincell width\nbrain lol\n\nim confused why ppl still use arigram, a telegram client i made, i mean its nice and stuff\nbut its kinda a deadish project, i dont work on it anymore, meaning the new stuff telegram\nadds is just going to show up as `[MessageUnsupported]` which isnt useful is it lol, i rlly\nneed to change the arigram api to work better with the new telegram shit dynamically lol, i\nmean i literally use arigram myself and it doesnt bother me but i mean others might not be\nable to work with it as well as i can lol\n\nlol im still on the `5.16.7` kernel, i dont like `5.15.x` and the new kernel sucks so im\nsticking to the old one and probably never updating, that is *if* im even staying on linux\nlol, remember, the netbsd/openbsd thing ?\n\nwhy does PE *(physical 'education')* even exist, 'movement' my ass, i came to school not to\n'move' but to learn and get a diploma, i literally am so exhausted after PE, can barely learn,\ni fucking hate PE, it makes me feel like shit in so many ways i cant, at times i even begin\nto cry BECAUSE i have PE that day, its stupid stupid lol, reasons why i hate pe:\n\n- dysphoria\n- exhaustion\n- pure depression\n- the general fucking feel of the 'lesson'\n- pointless 'lesson'\n- i fucking hate pe\n- i fucking hate pe\n- i fucking hate pe\n\ni might still be falling for my crush and ppl know lol, worst part is that were classmates,\nand like omg, why, i WANT to get over him but i just \u2728\u2728\u2728\u2728cannot\u2728\u2728\u2728\u2728 lol, i have\na hard time dropping feelings for ppl\n\nanyway i think this clusterfuck of a blog is good enough to be posted if you decide\nto say anything abt it dont scream kthxbye",

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.lt/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\")\n    done <file\n\nFaster:\n\n    mapfile -t x <file\n\n### Example 6\n\n    sed '1!d' file\n\nFaster:\n\n    head -n1 file\n\n### Example 7\n\n    id >/tmp/x\n    echo \"Info: $(</tmp/x)\"\n    rm -f /tmp/x\n\nFaster:\n\n    echo \"Info: $(id)\"\n\n### Example 8\n\n    for _ in $(seq 10000); do\n        echo \"Hello\"$'\\n'\"world\"\n    done\n\nFaster:\n\n    nl=$'\\n'\n\n    for _ in $(seq 10000); do\n        echo \"Hello${nl}world\"\n    done\n\n### Example 9\n\n    while read -r line; do\n        echo \"$line\"\n    done <file\n\nFaster:\n\n    echo \"$(<file)\"\n\n### Example 10\n\n    format ELF64 executable 3\n    segment readable executable\n\n    _start:\n        ;; 2 syscalls per char\n\n        mov eax, 0\n        mov edi, 0\n        mov esi, buf\n        mov edx, 1\n        syscall\n\n        test eax, eax\n        jz .exit\n\n        mov eax, 1\n        mov edi, 1\n        mov esi, buf\n        mov edx, 1\n        syscall\n\n        jmp _start\n\n    .exit:\n        mov rax, 60\n        mov rdi, 0\n        syscall\n\n    segment readable writable\n        buf: rb 1\n\nFaster:\n\n    format ELF64 executable 3\n    segment readable executable\n\n    _start:\n        ;; 2 syscalls per 1024 chars\n\n        mov eax, 0\n        mov edi, 0\n        mov esi, buf\n        mov edx, 1024\n        syscall\n\n        test eax, eax\n        jz .exit\n\n        mov edx, eax\n\n        mov eax, 1\n        mov edi, 1\n        mov esi, buf\n        syscall\n\n        jmp _start\n\n    .exit:\n        mov rax, 60\n        mov rdi, 0\n        syscall\n\n    segment readable writable\n        buf: rb 1024\n\n### Example 11\n\n    int x = 0;\n    x = 0;\n    x = 1;\n    x--;\n    x++;\n\nFaster:\n\n    int x = 1;\n\n### Example 12\n\n    content=\"$(cat /etc/passwd)\"\n\nFaster:\n\n    content=\"$(</etc/passwd)\"\n\nFaster:\n\n    mapfile -d '' content </etc/passwd\n    content=\"${content[*]%$'\\n'}\"\n\nFaster:\n\n    read -rd '' content </etc/passwd\n\n^ This exists with code `1`, so just add a `|| :` at the end if that's unwanted behaviour\n",

      "description": "a tutorial on how to make ur first website",
      "content": "A lot of people want to have a personal space and property on the internet,\nbut a lot of them don't know how... So today I'm going to be showing you\nhow you should go about making a website\n\nAlso, you should not straight up copy everything here,\nyou should just read it and use it as a rough outline, you should\nnever copy off tutorials or anything of sort\n\n## Tl;Dr\n\n> Keep it minimal, simple and avoid using bloat, also make sure to\n> keep going rather than giving up, learn rather than use some shit\n> service, experience with code also helps\n\n## Have prior programming experience\n\nYou'll need to have prior programming experience to understand what is really\ngoing on even though nor HTML nor CSS (the bare base of your website) are programming\nlanguages, many answers you'll find online will also use terminology that you won't\nunderstand if you don't have at least a bit of it\n\nEven if you don't have prior programming experience, please don't resort to website\nbuilders or static site generators, it won't teach you anything, rather\nlearn some programming language like python or even JavaScript, JavaScript alongside\nHTML and CSS is a huge part of the web stack\n\nAnyway, if you don't have any experience, gain some and then come back, unless\nyou want to just have a read, then go ahead :) Although without it, you won't\nget too far probably\n\n## Learn basic HTML and CSS\n\nFirst up, before you can do anything you'll probably want to learn HTML,\nto style it you'll probably want to learn CSS, although I have recommend\nthis to many people, they seem to not understand what learning is, they\nfind a tutorial and copy off it and then end up using inline `style` attrs\nor `style` tags in html, they begin making their HTML messy and invalid\nand generally make their site so messy and broken it becomes an unmaintanable\nmess, so what you should do\n\n-   Learn what HTML and CSS are, you need like 10 mins to look up the definitions and stuff\n-   Learn HTML\n    -   It can be learned in max 2 hours, a good tutorial I recommend: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg>\n    -   Don't copy from the tutorial, make sure to understand what you're doing\n-   Learn CSS\n    -   Look up a basic tutorial (e.g. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PnVor36_40>)\n    -   Once again **_DON'T COPY_**, understand and do\n\nOnce you have the bare minimum, make a simple HTML document and save it,\nthis will serve you the purpose of archiving your progress and you'll be able to\nsee how much you reached in like a month\n\nTo help you get started, here's quite a good template to start with:\n\n    <!DOCTYPE html>\n    <html lang=\"en\">\n        <head>\n            <meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\n            <meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=edge\">\n            <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\n            <title>Your title</title>\n\n            <meta name=\"description\" content=\"Your description\" />\n            <meta\n                name=\"keywords\"\n                content=\"your, keywords, idk something, website, aaaa\"\n            />\n            <meta\n                name=\"robots\"\n                content=\"follow, index, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1, max-image-preview:large\"\n            />\n            <meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"website\" />\n\n            <meta name=\"color-scheme\" content=\"dark\" />\n            <!-- ^^^ dark theme -->\n\n            <link rel=\"manifest\" href=\"/manifest.json\" />\n        </head>\n\n        <body>\n            <!-- Your markup -->\n        </body>\n    </html>\n\n## JavaScript\n\nJavaScript is a programming language made for the web, or at least is a huge part of the\nweb stack, but these days it can run even serverside code using nodejs, but JavaScript (JS/js)\nis quite painful to code in, so if you want a better experience with programming on\nthe internet for your website try TypeScript (TS/ts) out\n\nYou'll use JavaScript to handle logic on your website, for example if you want to check\nwhat a user has entered in a text box or managing state(s)\n\nAlthough JS or TS are more than optional, hell, even CSS is optional,\nbut if you want to make your site at least slightly nice you'll probably want\n_at least_ CSS\n\n## Never say \"it's too hard\"\n\nAfter all of this, many people (including quite a few of my friends) would (or are) say\n\"it's too hard\" and resort to using some site builder with WIX or use a static site\ngenerator which bloats up your site to unbelievable levels, \"it's easier\" you'll say,\neven though this will end up making your site low-key shit and you'll have to deliver\nmegabytes of content to your website visitors which is not pleasant for anyone, nor you\nhosting it (we'll get to it later) nor the user visiting it, especially if they have\na bad internet connection, it doesn't teach you anything either, just bad in general,\nplease keep pushing, you can do it\n\nAlso, most web frameworks also cost a shit-ton of money and have mannnyyy hidden\nfees and spyware, so just stay away from them\n\n## Avoid frameworks\n\nFrameworks, although useful when you understand what everything means, don't teach you\nanything, and once again bloat up your site\n\n## Separate and track your learning\n\nBy separating and tracking your learning progress you'll see how much\nyou reached, how you improved and what you did to improve, you will also\nhave a great resource to\n\n## Manual is better (usually)\n\nIf you do most things manually (as in not using too many frameworks) you'll gain more\nknowledge and make your site smaller and simpler overall, I prefer to do things manually\nand I made my site quite small, while frameworks (e.g. react or bootstrap (they are not comparable, but just examples))\ntend to be huuuuggggeee in size, meaning your users will have to a) depend on 3rd party\ncode and make your site worse and even then, if you're using the framework you are,\nyou're learning the framework, not the actual logic (e.g. if you're using bootstrap, you're\nlearning bootstrap, not CSS)\n\nAlthough, note the _(usually)_, for example this blog is generated by my own\nstatic site generator which optimises stuff and makes it accessible for everyone,\nit doesn't bloat anything up, so if you have something like this (a blog), I'd\nsuggest writing your own or using a small static site generator, at least from\nthat you learn something\n\nThis blog generator is quite simple, creation of a blog is like\n\n> Markdown + text -> base64 encoding -> JSON\n\nAnd generation\n\n> JSON -> base64 decoder -> markdown -> HTML -> minification -> index.html file in a designated directory\n\n## Writing your site\n\nAfter all of this, you probably have few documents you can refer to,\nthis will be a great resource for you if you forget something, but don't be\nscared to look things up, it's normal and a part of a developer's experience,\nnobody, and I mean _nobody_ in 2022 knows how to center a div without\nlooking it up lol\n\nBut, besides that, here's a few tips to help you\n\n-   Automate only if needed\n    -   For example if you have something like a blog with many pages\n-   Don't focus on SEO, this will only make your site worse\n    -   Although basic SEO is fine, like adding a `sitemap.xml` or `robots.txt` or something\n    -   Don't add like a milion `meta` tags too, just like 10 at max is good enough\n-   Focus on A11y (accessibility), because it's quite important for your site to be accessible to anyone, try using:\n    -   Semantic elements\n    -   CSS media queries\n    -   Accessible design\n    -   ARIA attrs\n-   Less is more, don't (over)use (over)complicated logic and frameworks with huge sizes, use little to get the result you desire\n-   Every little thing matters, especially on the web, every little bit of performance matters\n    -   Asset optimisation is good, but make sure to not overdo it to the point only the newest browsers can run it\n        -   For example asset optimisation _at build time_ is an amazing example of much needed asset optimisation,\n            although optional if you don't really care\n        -   Server-side gzip compression also helps\n        -   Image compression helps, quite a needed one especially if you have many images\n        -   Bundling can and does help, but isn't super major and plus can break some functionality\n    -   And don't forget about logic and CSS optimisation\n-   Don't add tracking, it just introduces security vulns, bloat, distrust and general bad things\n-   New technology can wait, let it develop and be supported amongst more browsers\n-   Just like when you were learning, don't be scared to separate content into different folders and files\n    -   Fun thing: if you want a page without `.html` at the end just, make a directory with the page name you want and\n        have `index.html` in it, but your server might support doing that automatically :)\n-   Have a place to test and run your site temporally\n    -   A dev server is important, because `file://` is usually not a good place to test it, use like [live-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server), I use it and I like it personally\n-   Use a VCS\n    -   Although doesn't _mean_ you have to make it open source (although you should (we'll talk about it)),\n        you should still use a VCS, `git` is probably the most popular one, while building your site you're going to have many fuck-ups\n        and you'll want to say \"eh, fuck it\" and reset all of your changes, well, without a VCS.. Good luck lol\n        -   But this means you will have to learn a VCS, no, a VCS is not 'press upload button to GitHub', use the CLI\n\nThese are some things I could thing of, I use them all lol, anyway, let's continue\n\n## Open source\n\nMany people would say 'WhO tHe fUcK nEEdS thE sOurCE cODe oF A sItE' and that's just an idiotic\nmindset to say the least, anyway, here's some good things that come with making your website\nopen source\n\n-   You're helping the open source community grow\n-   You're showing all changes you make to the public\n-   It's basically free advertising\n-   You show what your site does to the public, meaning it creates the feeling of trust\n-   You feel more accomplished when you show something to people and they like it\n\n> _also if your point of not making it open source is just 'just open the dev tools'\n> you're stupid, but you know what, okay then, send me the source code of google\n> to my email, would be appreciated.. Oh waitttt you can't because it's not the full\n> assets, it's obfuscated and minified and plus it's probably modified_\n\n## Hosting\n\nHosting is when you actually let people see the stuff you made, hosting your code is one thing,\nbut hosting your site is another, I personally use [netlify](https://netlify.com/), it's an amazing, free and non-scummy\nplatform for hosting your _static_ site, it also provides amazing [documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/),\n[help](https://answers.netlify.com/) and [customisation](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/file-based-configuration/)\nand all of this for free, although more limiting, a good choice is also [GitHub](https://pages.github.com/) or [GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/)\npages\n\nAlthough I think out of those 3 netlify is the best choice for _static_ sites :)\n\nBut if you want something server-side, I doubt you'll be able to find anything\nfree, but this is not a\n\n## Publicising and sharing\n\nDon't be annoying about it and don't shove it into everyone's face, just add it to\nyour bio, put it on something like [wiby](https://wiby.me/) and be happy, it's not a competition,\njust make fun things and people will like it :)\n\nYou can also share it with your friends and other strangers which are interested\n\n## What can you do on your site\n\n-   Host files\n-   Make a blog\n-   Have fun with code\n-   Explore random frameworks (when you already know what you're doing)\n-   Talk to people\n-   Share your projects, thoughts and opinions\n-   Learn !\n\n## Don't allow people to get in your way\n\nNot everyone is going to like your site, if they call it shit, who cares,\nit's your place to do anything, for example would you burn your house down if\nsomeone didn't like it, it's yours, you're good with it and you need to enjoy\nit, it's your own property, just virtual\n\n## Domain name\n\nDomain names are _really_ optional as most hosting services provide\na subdomain, e.g. <https://ari-web.netlify.app/>, but you might like having\nyour domain like <https://ari.lt/> which is shorter and just nicer,\nfor domains you will have to pay, for example buy it from <https://namecheap.com/>,\nbut there are services which provide free domains to people, those domains\nhave very low value though, like .tk and .ga are usually flagged as untrustworthy\nand don't grow as fast\n\nAfter you get a domain name you might want to set up HTTPS (if you don't already\nhave it) and submit it to the HSTS preload list which will ensure the security\nof users visiting your site\n\n## That's about it\n\nWell... That's about it, it's a long process and getting it more popular is even\nharder, but don't try hard, don't be annoying about it to people and just make\nthings you like and people will find it, anyway, hope you found this blog useful\nand I inspired you to join the web world, hope to see another web neighbour in the\nnear future :)\n\nHave a nice day and goodbye :)\n",

Try `kos`,\nit's smaller than `doas` and obviously `sudo`, much faster, doesn't use PAM,\nquite secure from what I see, has good compile-time customisation and\ngenerally is a good alternative to at least `doas`, it works for me, works\nfor many other people so should work for you :)\n\nI personally have been using it for quite a while and it's good,\ntry it out if you feel like it :)\n\n-   Ari-web redirect: <https://ari.lt/gh/kos>\n-   Direct GitHub link: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/kos>\n-   Gentoo package: <https://ari.lt/gentooatom/app-admin/kos>\n-   Arch package: <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kos>\n\n## `Lmgr` license manager\n\nI find it so annoying to manually license every single one of my projects,\nI now use `lmgr`, I just got a bunch of license templates set up and it's\neasy, I'm happy I made it\n\n-   Ari-web redirect: <https://ari.lt/gh/lmgr>\n-   Direct GitHub link: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/lmgr>\n-   Gentoo package: <https://ari.lt/gentooatom/app-misc/lmgr>\n\n## `Mkproj` project templater\n\nAlongside `lmgr`, `mkproj` comes in handy, it's super annoying to me personally\ndo things manually and if I want to make a project `mkproj` really helps lol\n\n-   Ari-web redirect: <https://ari.lt/gh/mkproj>\n-   Direct GitHub link: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/mkproj>\n-   Gentoo package: <https://ari.lt/gentooatom/app-misc/mkproj>\n\n## `Mkqemuvm` -- the small QEMU wrapper\n\nI usually don't change my QEMU vm options that often so I just made a script\nto help me make QEMU VMs easily:\n\n-   Ari-web redirect: <https://ari.lt/gh/mkqemuvm>\n-   Direct GitHub link: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/mkqemuvm>\n-   Gentoo package: <https://ari.lt/gentooatom/app-emulation/mkqemuvm>\n\n## `Pwdtools` tools for passwords\n\n`pwdtools` is another thing I quite often use, I use it to generate, store\nsometimes validate the security of passwords, it's nice, quite useful\n\nThis includes 2 password validators, password generator and a password manager,\nmight add more :)\n\n-   Ari-web redirect: <https://ari.lt/gh/pwdtools>\n-   Direct GitHub link: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/pwdtools>\n-   Gentoo package: <https://ari.lt/gentooatom/app-admin/pwdtools>\n\n## `Filetools` tools for files\n\nAlthough `filetools` isn't as useful to me, it's nice to get good info about\ncertain files, like permissions, path info, owner, size, etc. super nice\nfor development too\n\n-   Ari-web redirect: <https://ari.lt/gh/filetools>\n-   Direct GitHub link: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/filetools>\n-   Gentoo package: <https://ari.lt/gentooatom/app-admin/filetools>\n\n## `Bdwmb` -- the modular bar for DWM\n\nThe heading says it all, it's a simple, small and nice bar for\nDWM window manager, I use it, I like it lol\n\n-   Ari-web redirect: <https://ari.lt/gh/bdwmb>\n-   Direct GitHub link: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/bdwmb>\n-   Gentoo package: <https://ari.lt/gentooatom/x11-misc/bdwmb>\n\n---\n\nThat's about it, although this is definably not all, just most major, I also\nrun my own stuff on top of those so my system is basically just my software,\nanyway, hope I introduced you to some of my software somewhat, anyway, have a\ngood day :)\n\nGoodbye\n",

      "description": "mpv is my beloved player so i decided to collect some shit on myself lol",
      "content": "## Before we start\n\nThis blog is not updated, I made this whole thing into a baz\nplugin: <https://ari.lt/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

from, run the script,\njust\n\n    python3 main.py\n\nOr whatever, it'll generate `index.html` file and it'll include all of\nyour report data, you can also style it using the `styles` variable\n\n## 3. Finishing\n\nThat's all, enjoy your statistics, and as of now I shall go collect more data,\nI already have 18KB of it!\n\nPlus, I'll admit it, most of this code is **garbage, complete dog shit**,\nI just wanted to make it work and I did, it's readable enough\nfor just a messy script I'm not even releasing as anything legit\n",

      "content": "Ari-web APIs recently have become public, meaning\nanyone can use them on anywhere, so, how should you\nuse them properly?\n\n## 1. 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.xyz/files.json>\n    -   Just make a request to <https://files.ari.xyz/files_json_hash.txt>\n-   <https://blog.ari.lt/blog.json>\n    -   Just make a request to <https://blog.ari.lt/blog_json_hash.txt>\n-   <https://www.ari.lt/api>\n    -   Just make a request to <https://www.ari.lt/api_hash/..._hash.txt> with the `...` being the API name with all `.` characters replaced with `_`, for example for <https://www.ari.lt/api/sitelist.json> would be <https://www.ari.lt/api_hash/sitelist_json_hash.txt>\n-   <https://etc.ari.lt/pages.json>\n    -   Just make a request to <https://etc.ari.lt/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",

      "content": "So before we start, I have my own overlay @ <https://ari.lt/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 enable '<overlay name>'\n    $ sudo emerge --sync '<overlay name>'\n    ```\n\nAnd once you get into the [Offical Gentoo API](https://api.gentoo.org/), for example\n[Like I did](https://github.com/gentoo/api-gentoo-org/pull/459) you also add how to add your overlay through\n[layman](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman):\n\n    ### Layman\n\n    ```bash\n    $ sudo layman -a '<overlay name>'\n    $ sudo layman -s '<overlay name>'\n    ```\n\n## Step eight -- Sets\n\nThis directory is optional, although you can have sets\nof packages in there, like have you ever heard a term called\n'world set', it's the same thing, just on your own overlay\n\n[Read more about it here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_sets)\n\n## Step nine -- Sets configuration\n\nThis file is needed unlike the sets directory, you should\nhave this content in it, although once again, please don't\nforget to fill in the template:\n\n    [<overlay name> sets]\n    class = portage.sets.files.StaticFileSet\n    multiset = true\n    directory = ${repository:<overlay name>}/sets/\n\n## Step ten -- Portage overlay configuration\n\nThis file, although optional, will help the users of your\noverlay so much, they can just download this file,\nput it in `/etc/portage/repos.conf/<repo name>.conf` and then\nrun\n\n    sudo emerge --sync '<repo name>'\n\nAnd they have it installed, anyway, this is what that file\nshould have\n\n    [<overlay name>]\n    location = /var/db/repos/<overlay name>\n    sync-type = <overlay sync type>\n    sync-uri = <overlay sync url>\n\nE.g. for git it'd be:\n\n    [<overlay name>]\n    location = /var/db/repos/<overlay name>\n    sync-type = git\n    sync-uri = https://some.git.service/me/my-overlay.git\n\n## Finishing\n\nAnd that's it, you can now publish your overlay on for example\nGitHub, like I did on <https://ari.lt/overlay>, it's very easy,\nif you are confused about anything, refer to that repo yourself\n",

Blog ig lol, but actually is managed and built unlike the legacy counterpart, source code: <https://blog.ari.lt/git>\n        - [Legacy blog](https://legacy.blog.ari.lt/)-- Why do people even read this, I have not updated it in like half a year, source code: <https://legacy.blog.ari.lt/git>\n    - [Comments and opinions](https://user.ari.lt/) -- Literally just a static page using uterances for people to comment stuff on rather than flooding me with github issues, source code: <https://user.ari.lt/git> (nothing interesting)\n    - [School stuff](https://school.ari.lt) -- Very bad and cringe, also not foss\n    - [(Mainly personal) File hosting](https://files.ari.lt/) -- A place where I upload files because using conventional file uploading services like filebin is annoying because they have like an md5 hash as their file id, src: <https://files.ari.lt/git>\n    - [Three](https://3.ari.lt/) -- Yeah, just 3 :) src: <https://3.ari.lt/git>\n- My dotfiles: <https://ari.lt/dotfiles>\n- My [Gentoo Linux](https://gentoo.org/) overlay: <https://ari.lt/overlay>\n- A quite simple sudo alternative for _purely_ Linux (bc I suck and I don't use BSD yet, will be painful to port but eh, we'll see (yes I actually use it)) written in C++: <https://ari.lt/gh/kos>\n- A TUI telegram client people seem to love but like it's not working with any modern features because I have not worked on it properly in like 9 months: <https://ari.lt/gh/arigram>\n- Yafetch's fork, same name, just a completely reworked build system and I do active porting to newer lua versions: <https://ari.lt/gh/yafetch>\n- A bot I made for CollabVM when I was actually active on it, just a simple websocket client ig, just specifically for CollabVM: <https://ari.lt/gh/abot>\n- I needed a GNU BASH plugin manager which doesn't take 3 hours to start up and load all the plugins so I made my own, actually I do that often, whenever I can't find proper software that fits me, I just make my own: <https://ari.lt/gh/baz>\n- Youtube CLI client I guess, some people seem to like it, although it's quite meh, there are many better alternatives, I still use it from time to time: <https://ari.lt/gh/myt>\n- A purely POSIX sh functional daemon manager on top of SysVinit: <https://ari.lt/gh/arci>\n- Some tools I use for generating passwords, validating them, etc. I like my passwords strong: <https://ari.lt/gh/pwdtools>\n- Licence manager, quite useful, purely POSIX sh, I find using it quite a lot because I really don't want to go manually find and fill in licence templates: <https://ari.lt/gh/pwdtools>\n- SearX meta-search-engine CLI, as you can tell I really like CLI tools, my terminal is my literal life, I use it sometimes too i guess: <https://ari.lt/gh/searx-cli>\n- A simple package manager for the R programming language: <https://ari.lt/gh/cran>\n- Make projects from templates, I use it as often as I use lmgr, because I hate doing things manually if I can easily automate it: https://ari.lt/gh/mkproj\n- Random\n    - A fork of vimbuddy script to make it cuter ig: <https://ari.lt/gh/vimbuddy.vim>\n    - A fork of google's codefm for vim which has many more formatters and a less complicated contribution system: <https://ari.lt/gh/vim-codefmt>\n    - My go at some of the coreutils, I barely work on it though: <https://ari.lt/gh/sm-coreutils>\n    - A bar script for DWM window manager: <https://ari.lt/gh/bdwmb>\n    - My build of the Linux kernel: <https://ari.lt/gh/dino-kernel>\n    - A build of DWM for the EndeavourOS GNU/Linux distribution made by me: <https://ari.lt/gh/enDWMvour>\n    - The coffee theme organization: <https://github.com/coffee-theme/>\n\nPlus a bunch others, some private, some unreleased, some just too small to share lol, some just have\nbad code, actually some of that bad code is intentional, so like I got obsessed with stack based languages\nand I got 2 attempts at making 2:\n\n- [Rys](https://ari.lt/gh/rys)\n- [Fa](https://ari.lt/gh/fa)\n\nAll of them use python as a bootstrap and had a plan to self-host, Rys is just dead although Fa I'm pretty\nsure is turing complete, also I think it's possible to self-host it, I'm just too lazy to do so, also too\nlazy to prove its turing compleeness, the reason why the code is bad is because I literally did not try,\n'It's just a stupid script to what will disappear after some time' I thought, although Fa is def\nnot a fully dead project lol\n\nKay, so besides those, ari-web also has pages ig, like I don't think I can consider\nthem projects but yk, it's all in the main page kinda, actually a lot of it is indexed\nat <https://www.ari.lt/page/90s> although I'd suggest not visiting it if you like\nhaving eyes\n\n## Tools\n\nI am a Linux user as of now, I usually work with Linux, although I try to be as friendly\nas possible towards other \\*NIX-like operating systems, examples being BSD and MacOS,\nmainly BSD though as I myself got plans for 2023 to switch to it, Linux is getting too\nmainstream and large for my taste, although most likely I will still be using Linux\nis some form or another\n\nMy code editor is [ViM](https://www.vim.org/), a lightweight TUI code editor which is really extensible, vim\nis extremely fast and also has a very powerful plugin system using various languages (even compiled ones)\nbounded together by VimScript, there is another project called [NeoVim](https://neovim.io/) which tries to improve\nmore things on it because vim is an extremely old project which is basically controlled by one person,\nalthough still many people contribute, NeoVim is more speed and community focused, although I prefer ViM\nbecause I don't need the extra features and improvements nvim brings with it\n\nMy main interpreted language is Python, a very powerful, abstract high level programming language,\nalso quite powerful with its ability to load C and C++ extensions for lower level access, its API\nis fairly simple, you just work with basic PyObjects\n\nMy main compiled languages are C and C++, as I'm not a huge fan of OOP and I barely find use\nfor it, I mainly use C++ for its type system and namespaces, I also like C, a very simple\nand small programming language with low level access to the point of assembly, one thing which\nI don't really like about C is that you basically work with raw pointers all the time, C++\nmakes it less of a pain in my opinion\n\nFor configuration languages I prefer JSON, JSONC or DOSINI, all of them have their own uses,\nbut one works better than others in certain cases, JSON works well for basic config with\nmultiple types, JSONC works better for bigger and more complex configuration and DOSINI\npretty much works on anything that uses repositories or needs a basic header-key-value\nconfig, like `{\"header\": {\"key\": \"value\"}}` is a much more painful syntax than just\n\n    [header]\n    key = value\n\nAlso we cannot live without scripts, they help up automate repetitive tasks like building\na C++ binary with a whole bunch of flags, Makefiles are cool, but quite painful, also I use 4 spaces\nrather than tabs (yes ik so controversial smh how dare I wasted space blah blah blah) and Makefiles\nforce you to use tabs, which is extremely annoying, so I just resort to using POSIX sh and in very\nvery very rare cases where I need to use more special features I use BASH\n\nMy web stack for frontend is mainly (S)CSS, JS and HTML, although I like TS more, usually\nI'm just too lazy to set it up and end up running into countless bugs just because of people's beloved\nJavaScript (+ other million languages that have 'Java' in their name but have nothing in common with java),\nSCSS is also not a rare thing for me to use, it just requires some transpiling and you get way more features\nthan in CSS, I mainly use it in styles that require me to use a central configuration file or I just need\nthose extra features, for backend I usually use python with the flask web framework and jinja templating\nengine, if I need it also an SQLite3 database using SQLAlchemy because we all know how amazing, enjoyable and secure\nit is to write raw SQL queries <3333, this is a joke for the ones that don't get sarcasm\n\nThe languages I mentioned is not all I know, I have tried many languages, some of them liked,\nsome of them meh, same with knowledge of them, some of them I know better than others,\nfor example racket, scheme. haskell, lua, ruby, chicken, etc. and languages I really didn't\ninclude and which didn't fit like markdown, roff, etc. (which are not *programming* languages)\nI still use them\n\nAnd finally some random things I use can be found on <https://blog.ari.lt/b/my-gentoo-linux-setup/>\n\nThank you for listening to my presentation about this,\nhave a nice rest of your day",

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",

Lol..\n\nAnyway, thanks for listening to another one of my rants, I just have this opinion on modernism,\nhave a nice rest of your day :)\n",

Wouldn't they make LGBT people\nmore accepted, even though this would save not a huge ammount of people but it'd probably\nstill be _something_ at least I guess, why don't we first climb the human rights ranking\nand then expect some results instead of screaming how people are immigrating to other\ncounties like Norway and say \"They're stealing children from Lithuania\", first\nmake those children feel accepted in the country, then complain.\n\nAnyway, quite disapointing how \"movements\" such as this exist and then complain about\nhow Lithuania is shrinking, goddamn, why did I have to be born in Lithuania lmao,\nbut at least better than some other countries ig?\n",

      "content": "I once made a blog about how assembly is bloated\nso today I decided to try fasm, it was amazing,\nit's almost as efficient as C generated ELF,\n\nFor example, using NASM (or YASM but the difference\nis only 0.1 KB if not less) a Hello world program\nwould look like this:\n\n<code>\n<pre>\n\nBITS 64\n\nsegment .text\nglobal _start\n\n_start:\n    mov rax, 1\n    mov rdi, 1\n    mov rsi, m\n    mov rdx, ml\n    syscall\n\n    mov rax, 60\n    mov rdi, 0\n    syscall\n\nsegment .rodata\nm: db \"Hello world!\", 10\nml: equ $ - m\n\n</pre>\n</code>\n\nAnd when compiled using:\n\n```\n$ nasm -felf64 a.asm && ld -o a a.o\n```\n\nWhere `a.asm` is the assembly source code you see\nabove you get a `8.7 KB` binary\n\nSo now let's do the same but using FASM:\n\n<code>\n<pre>\n\nformat ELF64 executable 3\nsegment readable executable\n\n_start:\n    mov rax, 1\n    mov rdi, 1\n    mov rsi, m\n    mov rdx, ml\n    syscall\n\n    mov rax, 60\n    mov rdi, 0\n    syscall\n\nsegment readable\nm: db \"Hello world!\", 10\nml = $ - m\n\n</pre>\n</code>\n\nThe code hasn't changed much but when\nwe compile this code using:\n\n```\n$ fasm a.asm && chmod a+rx ./a\n```\n\nWhere `a.asm` is the assembly source code you see\nabove you get a `235 B` binary\n\nThat's literally `8.465 KB` improvement for only changing\n5 lines of code...\nThat's only one byte larger than out source code -- `234 B`\n\nCrazy how fast, small and nice this assembler is,\n[give it a try!](https://flatassembler.net/) :)\n",

From what they wear to how they\nspend their free time, Adventurers act in ways that vividly reflect\nwho they are as unique individuals.\n\nAnd every Adventurer is certainly unique. Driven by curiosity and\neager to try new things, people with this personality often have a\nfascinating array of passions and interests. With their exploratory\nspirits and their ability to find joy in everyday life, Adventurers\ncan be among the most interesting people you\u2019ll ever meet.\nThe only irony? Unassuming and humble, Adventurers tend to see themselves\nas \u201cjust doing their own thing,\u201d so they may not even realize how\nremarkable they really are. The Beauty of an Open Mind.\n\nAdventurers embrace a flexible, adaptable approach to life. Some personality\ntypes thrive on strict schedules and routines \u2013 but not Adventurers.\nAdventurers take each day as it comes, doing what feels right to them in the moment.\nAnd they make sure to leave plenty of room in their lives for\nthe unexpected \u2013 with the result that many of their most cherished memories\nare of spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment outings and adventures, whether by themselves\nor with their loved ones.\n\nThis flexible mindset makes Adventurers remarkably tolerant and open-minded.\nThese personalities genuinely love living in a world filled with all kinds of\npeople \u2013 even people who disagree with them or choose radically different lifestyles.\nIt\u2019s no surprise, then, that Adventurers are unusually open to changing their minds\nand rethinking their opinions. If any personality type believes in giving something\n(or someone) a second chance, it\u2019s Adventurers. Adventurers want to live in a\nworld where they \u2013 and everyone else \u2013 have the freedom to live as they see fit,\nwithout judgment.\n\nThat said, Adventurers\u2019 go-with-the-flow mentality can have its downsides.\nPeople with this personality type may struggle to set long-term\nplans \u2013 let alone stick with them. As a result, Adventurers tend to have a\npretty cloudy view of their ability to achieve their goals, and they often\nworry about letting other people down. Adventurers may find that adding\na little structure to their lives goes a long way toward helping them feel\nmore capable and organized \u2013 without quashing their independent spirits.\nLiving in Harmony.\n\nIn their relationships, Adventurers are warm,friendly, and caring, taking\nwholehearted enjoyment in the company of their nearest and dearest. But\nmake no mistake: this is an Introverted personality type, meaning that\nAdventurers need dedicated alone time to recharge their energy after socializing\nwith others. This alone time is what allows Adventurers to reestablish a\nsense of their own identity \u2013 in other words, to reconnect with who they truly are.\nUnless they take time for themselves, Adventurers can end up feeling lost in\nthe tide of everyday life, constantly reacting to external circumstances\ninstead of making their own way.\n\nCreative and free-spirited, Adventurers march to the beat of their own drum,\nand it would be easy to assume that they don\u2019t particularly worry what other\npeople think of them. But this isn\u2019t the case \u2013 Adventurers are thoughtful\nand perceptive, able to pick up on people\u2019s unspoken feelings and opinions,\nand it can upset them if they don\u2019t feel liked, approved of, or appreciated.\nWhen faced with criticism, it can be a challenge for people with this personality\ntype not to get caught up in the heat of the moment. If they encounter harsh\nor seemingly unfair criticism, they may even lose their tempers in spectacular fashion.\n\nBut there\u2019s good news, too: Adventurers live in the present, and they know\nthat they don\u2019t need to dwell on past hurts or frustrations. Rather than focusing\non how things could be different, people with this personality type have an\nincredible capacity for appreciating what\u2019s right about life just as it is.\nEverywhere they look, Adventurers can find sources of beauty and enjoyment that\nother people might miss \u2013 and this perspective is just one of the many\ngifts that they share with the world.\n",

      "content": "Today I was challenged to make a program in C,\nassembly and then pure ELF-64, I chose a\n[\"Hello world\" program](https://wikiless.tiekoetter.com/wiki/%22Hello,_World!%22_program?lang=en),\nand so, I wrote a program in C, then in (NASM x86_64 Linux) assembly and then,\nwell pure ELF-64, Firstly I made a C program to generate the program, I took the\nbytes of it and put it into python...\n\nThen I made a GitHub repo: <https://github.com/TruncatedDinosour/low-hello-world>\n\nBut before that I compiled the ones I needed to and the results shocked me:\n\n- C89 (GCC, stripped): `14KB` [`gcc -std=c89 -s hello_world.c`]\n- Assembly (NASM, stripped): `8.3KB` [`nasm -felf64 hello_world.asm -s && ld -o a.out hello_world.o -s`]\n\nAnd the one that shocked me the most:\n\n- Pure ELF-64: `166B`\n\nAnd that made me think, is assembly... 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",
