A Computer Nerd who also happens to be a Debian Packager. I support free software and open standards.

Outside of the computer world, I'm a STEM Major who likes inventing things.

@disaster2life As long as the noise isn’t too loud, playing a video game or opening my terminal on Linux usually does the job for me than blasting music

@werdahias I know of a black hole that traps LLMs when they attempt to scrape a site. Crafted with hate for LLMs by one of our DDs :)

@ravi the fact that nothing happened after this was revealed shows the current state of the country. I think it’s over for us

Good morning, fedizens / fedifriends / masto-mateys 🌅

A reminder on the real in life 🙌💞

Illustration listing "the real luxuries" of life, with 12 simple line drawings and accompanying text including: a pillow for a good night's sleep, a teacup for slow mornings, hands forming a heart for freedom to choose, a palette and brush for time for fun and play, a bird on a branch for listening to birds singing, a tree for long walks, an open book, a bowl of food for a favorite home-cooked meal, a sunset, a flame with a heart for ability to freely express yourself, a person napping on a pillow for day naps, and hands holding for a good conversation.

Book incoming!
I'm currently authoring a book which will be published in a few months if everything goes well! Big thanks to the Debian and Free Software Communities for getting me off the writer's block.

@disaster2life ill never get over why people have a problem with what we eat. Kind of infuriates me how some schools/colleges force vegetarianism onto people. I heard that one of the IIITs in MH fines people for eating meat and the folk over there are malnourished due to barely any protein intake. Prisoners get better food than college students.

@bagder I was banned from attending their events because I didn’t use a credit card for the payment towards it. We don’t get credit cards like candies in this part of the world as a student.

@werdahias yes I did the same. I still use GitHub to send patches upstream but all of my existing personal work and future work will only be on Codeberg. I’ve had enough with LLMs scraping my work.

Seems like I did a very good thing by ditching GitHub. GitHub is now under an AI team under Microsoft and no longer a separate entity. Would also recommend others to ditch GitHub if you care about your work getting scraped by useless LLMs

Debian 13 "trixie" has been released, thanks to everyone involved! "trixie" images are available for download at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ or you can run apt full-upgrade as always ;-)

@werdahias Interesting... not so long ago I had a research idea that I wanted to work on and it was about EMI. Figured it was way too much for a CompEng Student and left it lol

@werdahias electromagnetic induction?

Microsoft out, free software in
Thanks to the Debian community for making me realise that living a life with free software is very much doable.

Starting today, all of my future work will be hosted on Codeberg. Existing work that I deem useful will be migrated from Github to Codeberg and the rest will be archived.

Microsoft has been bullying me by blocking my accounts for the past 3 weeks due to me working with Debian and I will allow that no more!
