What i've been up to (2021)

Authors: Nova[有線魔女] <novaburst@envs.net>

Date: 2021-07-10

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.
