Been a while since I posted. TBH I'm not sure how to write posts that would be worth reading. I have two half-written posts about drivers and assembly. I've taken down two existing ones that I feel like aren't up to my mark. I've started using obsidian recently and it's been treating me pretty well so far. But why do people believe it doesn't share your data? I don't worry about it, but that's what people seem to believe.
In other news, GSoC results will be out tomorrow. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to work on much in the last month or so due to personal circumstances. I just recently got out of the slump and was exploring the AppImage spec today. Even sent a little PR correcting the documentation of the spec.

Why are we not afraid of GPT yet? Ever since they introduced the memory feature, it's been scarily good at understanding me. When intergalatic cinemasins reviews our species, I'm sure they'd make fun of how we had zero hesitation to make and use this kind of technology.
Mid-semesters have wrecked my schedules and routines. And delayed my GSoC proposal considerably. On the bright side, I'm almost done with exams and have a month of break coming up.
`web-platform-tests` embodies the old-school hacker ethic of everyone making softare better for everyone. Engineers making cool stuff for people to use—not to lock them into their proprietary software.

Got to watch Interstellar in IMAX last night. My new goal in life is to live long enough to see it re-release again.
Android 16 looks nice, but why are the settings for quick tiles still near the quick tiles? I'd like it if all configuration was neatly tucked away from the regular experience. Oh, and I got GSoC by the way.
Built another android app over the weekend as a part of our club's internal hackathon. Might release this in the org.
In other news, got feedback from the patch-hub maintainer! Going to focus on that project this week. Let's see how close I can get it to v1.
Ran my first 10K without stopping in an hour and fiffteen! Thankfully my knees didn't start hurting till later in the day, I had a placement eligibility test in the morning right after the run.
Going to be getting back up to date with our club infrastructure today. I have a blog on device drivers (in C and in Rust) coming up, should be out some time next week.
Just got back from FOSSHack today, definitely one of the best hackathon projects we've made so far. 36 hour hackathons feel so much better than 24 hour ones, can take breaks more frequently and rest better. Too bad I was sick for most of it though. Anyhow, checkout our project here.
Quick side quest this weekend: we're making an android app w/ Kotlin for FOSSHACK. Frontend on mobile is so much nicer than CSS. Still not big on it though.
Still haven't heard back from patch-hub's maintainer. Hopefully will get a reply soon so I can understand their vision and send in more meaningful PRs. If I don't, expect more OS/Kernel stuff this week.
Been working on a lot of different stuff lately: device drivers, an android app and multiple Rust apps. Hectic week.
Found this pretty cool newsletter called "This week in Rust." Would recommend.
Compiling the kernel with max cpu perf. set to 75% because xiaomi does not let me control it's fan on linux. Might need to write a wmi driver.
Came across this neat sub-project of kworkflow called patch-hub; gonna be contributing to that instead in the next few days.
