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

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

the theme of the novel 'little God'

Gotta put everything down to paper before its too late. Digital paper is fine too. But I gotta write those all out. In fact, I gotta put the first sentence right below my blog title. I have read a lot of stuff growing up, in multiple languages. I have read a ton of stuff in all forms, pamphlets, books, blogs, articles, comments, trolling comments, and computer code. But in my youth I was still a nerd. Even bullied when I was a kid. That hurt. But I read to think and reason for myself. So the next when I am fucked, at least I know why. I guess the dangerous trend of the world nowadays is that of a carefree teenager. A teenage boy who just discovered his ability to do things and have no moral or ethics to complement his newfound strengths, or keep them in check. And the consequences of his actions shakes him to his core. Just look at all the political correctness and extremism in 21st century europe. All the postmodernism.

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!

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...
