About me

Screens are obsolete, the future is in VR. I’m a huge AR/VR/XR advocate and enthusiast, but I touch almost anything related to tech. From creating physical transistors at the atomic level to making a RISC-V ISA, soldering and repairing old tech and making PCBs for my projects, I love the hardware and OS part of tech particularly. I spent my middle school learning everything about anything related to computers and servers, from RAID0/1/10/5/6 btrfs filesystems to overclocking CPUs, GPUs and DDR4 to see just how much a system can handle. I ran my own proxmox server since before I was 16. Using linux since 2018, I run my primary server with gentoo musl hardened COMMON_FLAGS=“-O3 -pipe -march=native -flto” + unmasked everything unstable for bleeding edge software just for fun. I won an arch install speedrun competition in high school and now I’m in my second year of uni, hoping to contirbute to make linux better for everyone. I strongly believe in openmandriva being one of the latest bations of common sense in an ocean of crazyness.

Hot takes:

• We need wayland purely for security, X11 is good except its legacy code but more importantly prone to keyloggers and that should be a dealbreaker for anyone.
• Librebooted chromebooks are the nexts thinkpads X200s. I’m not joking.
• VR is THE most underrated tech, especially for social interactions purposes. Allowing anyone to be anything is crazy, and I’m not even talking about the surreal experiences in VRchat worlds.
• No phone is safe except grapheneOS-flashed google pixels 6a and up, and even then you better not install Google Play Services and use good settings and passwords, and watch out for the LTE modem which is THE most insecure hardware in any phone. Airplane mode at all times.
• HA in proxmox is one of the best features ever made, except when you have 1. no money or 2. one UPS for 3 systems. If you can, 1 UPS per system & btrfs raid5 with SSDs or raid6 with HDDs for storage.
• Btrfs is the best filesystem due to the checksums and exceptional recovery and error correction abilities while still being crazy fast. ZFS is second because its not as flexible (operations when the array is mounted are almost impossible but aren’t a problem in btrfs), and its lack of reliability (one RAID1 disk dying = your system refuses to BOOT, that defeats the purpose of RAID1 in the first place).
