It's been 4 months since XMPP worked properly for me. The entire protocol is broken for me across various clients and devices. Can't login to any XMPP service on iOS, Gajim doesn't work on Mac and fails to work properly on Windows/Linux.

Honestly at this point I'm thinking about not using it anymore because its barely usable. IRC and Matrix work flawlessly on the other hand. Not sure wtf is wrong with XMPP.

Finally bit the bullet and installed FreeBSD from scratch inside a VM. Baremetal install coming soon.....

raylib sounds interesting…

The easiest way to make a game w/o an engine is Lua’s Love2D framework but I like C because I don’t want to learn a whole new language for this hypothetical game of mine.

Let’s see if it’s doable in C…..

Thank you OpenAI and every AI techbro scoundrel for ruining my favourite hobby. You ruined one of my dream purchases. I was saving up money to buy a PS5 and I can't get one anymore to justify the price. Fuck you and your AI.

When the senior students said college is gonna get incredibly hectic at the end, I didn't expect it'd be this bad.

I gotta deal with a research paper, thesis, presentation, projects, life chores, hobbies etc. all at once with almost no break.

I can only see it getting worse at this point.

These are some busy days indeed. I barely find any free time to work on anything. Totally busy with research work and academic stuff. This will likely be the case until mid 2027. Lots of work to do in a very limited amount of time.

@werdahias I read the whole book when I was 10 and didn't understand a single thing.

Oops, I still have trouble reading things.....

Yet another experiment on myself but this time it's about learning German
