It has been a while since I’ve wrote something for public so I really hope I won’t mess up so bad. First of all, let’s talk about this new… look, I mean… doesn’t it look so much better now? I’m so happy to finally stop using plain HTML for writing here it was so annoying, I mean I used to write the whole thing in markdown first and then convert it to html but still, making Hugo do this kind of work for me is much better. Also… a while ago I’ve lost motivation completely about documenting my… personal thoughts, I was so burnt out from all the projects that I had in mind and kinda disappointed when I realized that I can’t add an actual back-end the hosting service I had on Github, I didn’t like throwing HTML pages all over the repo and keep linking them using HTML tags it was just so annoying, unlike what I can do here with just writing this blog in Obsidian copying it without change to a markdown file in the content directory and BAM, with one command it’s gets converted to HTML and follows all the settings I’ve added in the config file.

Beside this Webpage… I haven’t worked on many projects the past few weeks, I was busy with school, even this Webpage was a one day work that I finished yesterday and after I publish this blog I’ll have a shit amount of work to, from projects and getting ready for exams and all, it’s just a mess… I mean winter has always been a mess to me, that’s why I like it, I don’t like getting too much time for myself, it’s scary… not having to be somewhere anytime soon, life without deadlines is like hell to me, so I guess I’m much better mentally now, I mean tired a little bit but better. I’m still forcing myself away from social media… especially with what is going on in Gaza, may God protect them all is all I can say, prayer is the only weapon I have and for that I’m… really sad, with that and knowing that I really have no way to actually help consuming all the news from there ain’t gonna revive the dead or free the prisoners, whoever has been killed is dead, I can’t help them by watching them die all over again on clip on TikTok. I do wish to be there, there is no Muslim on the face of earth who would say no to such a duty but truth is… I’m not, I am not there. I’ve always hated social media and now I hate more and more and the hate I have for is getting sharpened day by day it’s just so depressing seeing wasted energy going throw our keyboards thinking that would help people who are getting cooked alive out there, a twitter post ain’t gonna do anything and unless our Arabic leaders open the damn borders we’re all so damn useless to them, and no don’t gimme that bullshit of I’m praying for them I am sorry but suck it prayer is done in privet between you and God not in these stupid posts you’re copying from google image just because the Palestinian flag was there, ppl don’t even read what’s rewritten in these damn pics and yet they act like the have done a huge favor, if they don’t do that they shout in their Instagram stories about how disgusting Jews are and how they all should be dead like what the actual fuck bro, who the fuck are to say such thing it’s just so stupid, I will stop here because I’m really not ready to talk about this topic… I still have a lot to learn in this matter and till then… all I ask for is peace for my brothers and sisters out there, a ticket there would be nice too but ig that’s to much to ask for.

Let’s go back to tech for a second shall we? the last few days… I changed Distros a few times ngl, I needed Oracle DBMS for school so I though moving to Arch we’ll help me set it up easily since there I have Systemd and well the AUR but little did I now how painful setting up that shit is, the version I found in the AUR was so outdated and had so many issues so I ended up moving to a dual boot setup with a main Artix with Runit install and Oracle Linux as a secondary boot option, this allowed me to have my main system on Artix and gave me the chance to install Oracle in the best environment possible, however even with that I got an outdated version of Oracle in local repos of the distro for some reason and I tried to installed in multiple ways and it’s just refused to work, Oracle was based on Redhat or Fedora or whatever, and DNF wasn’t working correctly for no clear reason so I think the only way for me to get Oracle to actually work on Linux is with installing it on Fedora, which is a task I wish I had the time for, so I ended up moving back to my beloved Void Linux but this time I’ve tried the live installation with XFCE, I really liked it… but now I’m kinda thinking about moving back to the base install ngl lol. And for school I ended up setting VMs of Ghost Specture with all the software I need, Lazarus, Oracle, SQL developer and Office (I added Office just because I need access, usually I use office 365 on my browser when I need Word, Excel or Word), also I tried to create my own custom ISO based on Linux Mint which somehow actually worked but it was kinda broken and not stable at all which was to be expected due to how little time I spent on it. I gave Hyprland a second shot when I was running Arch, I liked it tbh but… I was so used to X11 so I had to move back to DWM, I just love how stable and “just works” it is.

I think I’ve covered the most imported highlight of the past few weeks… I’ll be posting here again whenever I get the chance. And if you reached this point thank you so much it means so much to me, I hope to see you again in my next post, and till then my friend, farewell.

Seth.
