Topics: Life

* Rewriting a tor wrapper in JavaScript to posix shell script (self-challenge #1)
       - TODO: find it and upload it on a git repository

* Contributing to a project written in OCaml (self-challenge #2)
       - Yep, that was Logarion, hehe

* Writing a set of shell scripts and uploading them on a git repository
       - Repository URL: https://gt.kalli.st/novaburst/posix-sh-tools

* Maintaining my personal Alpine overlay active, and updating it whenever needed
       - Repository URL: https://gitdab.com/novaburst-dev/aports

* Reading e-books on my computer
       - See post ID #d239d2cb

* Basically leaving Telegram as a platform
       - Only using it for purposes other than messaging

* Converting CSS3 files into CSS 2.1
       - Context: just like HTML5, CSS3 is a pseudostandard

* Writing posts for my blog , and updating existing ones (while making it available outside HTTP as well)
       - Unironically with Logarion that's really simple and painless to do

* Interacting on the following protocols (either actively or passively)
       - ActivityPub (mostly Mastodon, though I don't do that frequently)
       - E-mail (mailing lists)
       - IRC (mostly at irc.tilde.chat)
       - XMPP (i'm hanging out at four chats, more or less)

* No longer using the smartphone
       - 1. it's a pain to actually use
       - 2. even though the charger works fine, the device doesn't go well with it

* Being busy on studies, this is the last year so trying to do my best
       - Seriously I want to get this done

* Re:initialized my personal logarion git branch, and prepared a patch.
       - The current branch is now 'mirror' instead of 'wired'
       - I'm mostly tinkering with the code so the branch may disappear randomly :P

* Occasionally writing short posts on my twtxt microblog

* Abandoned the modern web
       - It's a lost cause
       - Chromium itself has a lot of CVEs for each version
       - And forget about Firefox, it's already dead

* Made my own build of 'st' (sort of) to use it as a replacement to LXTerminal on my computer because:
       - LXTerminal depends on GTK+3 , it's practically impossible to build it with GTK+2 on Alpine, and
       - I can pair up st(1) and tabbed(1) and have them work just fine.
       - Terminal emulation doesn't need to be so complex.

* Improved the code of my fork of static-site-scripts, inheriting some stuff from Logarion and saait

* Passively learning new languages (both human languages and programming languages)
       - Can't do it actively just yet

* Managed to compile few toolchains on my computer , though I wouldn't consider it an achievement.
