Internet Surfing, etc.

  •  I used FreeBSD for a while for security reasons but there are just too many bugs with the UI (even with GhostBSD) so I kinda gave up...
    • just look at the amount of configuration at the top of this article for something like adding a user: https://ostechnix.com/how-to-enable-ssh-on-freebsd/
  • Likewise I tried a FOSS Photoshop alternative, GIMP
    • Ubuntu App Center has GIMP 3.0, which has some obvious bugs like bump maps: https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/1gvv9jt/new_user_cant_get_bump_map_working/
  • Blender is probably a better open source software to learn 
  • Understanding Common ports is pretty good article 
    • https://ostechnix.com/understanding-common-port-numbers/
  • Messing around with C++ and cellular automatons

  • Watching top movies from thepiratebay...
    • total top 100's torrents very healthy...
    • https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=top100:all 
  • Stop doing ProjectEuler for now...
    • Just too much debugging & math
    • Maybe review math topics & try to contribute to stackexchange instead 
      • stackexchange big list good for review
      • some youtube playlists good too, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDcSwjT2BF_UDdkQ3KQjX5SRQ2DLLwv0R
  • Physics & art youtube channels:

Mikey's interesting project ideas~ (continued updates, hopefully)

Revive  GitHub Visualization - YASIV use github tokens to dig up similar repos  Tampermonkies Bionic reading refinement Snappy scroll sites like reddit like tumblr using 'j' and 'k' Internet addiction HAS NO END!!! Reddit corpus network analysis 200GB reddit comments ... what can a graph neural net do? Interesting Project Euler scripts like this one  checking big numbers on OEIS to automatically discover some clues on solving project euler problems (one eighth of the problems on the site past problem 100 has some big number that's also on OEIS) project euler crawler to be uploaded, so one can use long context AIs (anthropic or colab pro ) to to semantic similarity search in one go for new problem hopefully (side note...o1 preview solves problems below 20% consistently, and solves a LOT of problems below 50% to my experience, which is around 10 problems tested) do everything above to similar sites like Erdos...

Open-source project contribution journal (continued updates, hopefully)

 Here's me at my fourth job outta my college trying to contribute to some open-sourced projects in my free time. (Kinda a shame I haven't done it earlier.) What I learnt so far (day 1)      - maintainers (those given write permissions by project creators) gets to approve PR (ah AI jobs did not teach me about github)      - There are a lot of stuff I might be able to contribute to! (For example I can probably write quality pr for like 50% of this  project's first-timer friendly requests)     - I have some interesting project ideas   myself!
