@badrihippo nice best of luck

My game completion list of 2025 as of 14 Sept 2025

Finally finished RDR1 and Undead Nightmare today. It was such a fun ride and I honestly don’t feel like deleting the game yet. There’s still gang hideouts left to clear.

@praveen @badrihippo wasn't kaios discontinued or something

Finally recovering from the flu. Got most of the brain fog gone and the fatigue too. Clear headed enough for day to day tasks and exams but struggling with vision. Depressive symptoms are fading away quickly too. Never gonna risk getting the flu again. It put me off track of my things for 2 weeks and it ruined a lot of my future plans.

Suspending Debian contribution for now. I got hit with a bad strain of Influenza last week and was entirely bed ridden for the past few days. The virus kind of killed my creativity and ability to take on too much work. I’m gonna focus on fixing my immediate problems in life first and leave Debian contribution for a few months. All of my packages are part of teams so feel free to take up the maintenance while I’m away

@praveen While UPI is not a pain in the ass for me, I still think it exploits people into spending more than they actually need because it chips away the physical element of money. IMPS sounds good. I have bank accounts with banks that aren't mentioned in the wiki yet. I'll try it and update the wiki.

@werdahias yeah, that's probably the only course in my engineering that i was worried about failing.

@werdahias except when you have to deal with signals :( I almost failed in that pre requisite math course where we had Fourier stuff and complex calculus

@werdahias I see. That's great.

@werdahias nice, where do you post your work?

@werdahias I see. I never got that deep into electronics to do that stuff. The furthest I went into was writing Assembly for Intel 8086 and writing Verilog to simulate combinational circuits.

@werdahias Are you building a counter or something?

@werdahias I found this site called SnapEDA which lets you download symbols and schematics. KiCad doesn't come with a lot of boards built into it and this site helped me draw schematics for most of my projects in KiCad.

I gave up on Gears Of War 2 4 years ago at the Skorge boss fight because it was too hard and I eventually sold my Xbox too. I was 80% through the game. I don't have a Xbox now to play and with Microsoft pretty much killing the console brand, I don't think I will be able to continue my progress and finish the game. It's a shame because I was a Xbox fan before M$ dragged it to shit with their "Everything is a Xbox" marketing.

Just launched a new video series called GNUisance to make more people aware of GNU tools and software.

The first video in the series can be found here: https://exquisite.tube/w/2TUaAPBvFhdQVPS7mAYuNA

30 minutes of writing C in GNU Nano... No LLM bullshit or Electron bloat... Just pure focused work with only my thoughts and approach to writing software... No external libraries... Fixing the errors on my own....

What's more fun than this?

I thought C was a pointless language during my first days at college but it quickly changed my mind. I’ve never felt this free while writing a piece of software. C is very simple yet powerful enough to do almost anything i want. Python code from 6 years ago may not even run at all but C code absolutely will. Despite it lacking any memory safety, I still feel nothing can replace C in terms of its simplicity. Gonna use C for more of my future projects.
