I finished Doctor Slump Today

Just Finished Watching Doctor Slump (닥터슬럼프) Today. Thought I should write whats on my mind.

Its a Korean Drama (Romantic - Comedy) about two doctors - female lead is anesthesiologist and male lead is plastic surgeon.

It covers good deal of a doctors life style from college to practicing in their own clinics.

It not only shed light on how delicate the craft these experts has to perfect also the effort they have been put into it which resulting into the hard earned a luxurious life comes after it which they deserved.

It shows hardwork, constant dedication and passionate about your goal can lead you to luxurious life.

but sacrifises has to be made, some do so much study 24/7 that they forget to live the life.

In this life they might forgot what little pleasure of life is. like playing arcade, taste of good foods, or having nostalgia about something in childhood.

This story is partly romantic and partly knowledgebale.

There are two couples put onto the lime light. and also the dynamics of parentals relations with leads.

It also includes family values like taking care of each other and living together.

The main topic of this story is about slumpiness that comes in our life.

Some times we hit a point in our life when things start to collaps like a slump in a mountain.

and after that it becomes very hard to recover from that stage.

We become burned out, lethargic or so sadned that we think their is nothing in our life left now.

“It’s like worlds coming to an end. Sometimes you just gotta lay in bed and cry it out.”

This void in our heart and mind is that moment when god put a break on our all going in fast paced busy life and put us aside of it. This gives us breathing space. When we worned out ourself from just work work and work and forget to leave this is the moment that teaches us what we been missing.

Downtime is a serious issue in Pubnixes

I am maintaining some public facing services on Exozyme Pubnix or Shared Linux Server for less than a year ig.

I faced issues like outage and one of the services or containers goes down and I had to everytime fix them and restart them manually.

This blog documenting the strategies I applied to solve this program and get consistent uptime from these services.

I have deployed many services, checking them manually to see if they are up is tiddius task. Thanks to iacore and Anthony Wang who created https://status.exozy.me which monitors status of every services been deployed in the server.

Services I deployed

I have deployed: - Yt-local - Umami - Stirling_PDF - Cyberchef - Mysite

Now cyberchef and Mysite is statically deployed that there is no daemon constantly running in background to keep them up. but rest are podman containers. Sometimes when global wide system outage occurs they went down. and this is where problem occurs as I may not be available in time to fix the issue and up them again.

I hate to write this rant but...

I generally try to avoid toxicity. but this rant needs to be out there. Although tons similars rant from many already there but this as a reminder for myself every time a thought cross my mind to try out new "Ubuntu Based Distro" ever.

Ubuntu Is the worst Distro for servers, for Desktop Computers for anything.

Recently, I gave a try to Ubuntu Based Zorin Distro.

It was great experience all the fancy UI the UX and desktop ability to morphed into any kind of desktop of Mac, Windows or Ubunut at any point It was incredible.

Until...

Package Installation Frustrations

I wanted to install a package that is outside of Ubuntu Repos.

No, I wanted to install newer version of mpv which is v0.38 Current version of zorin had only v0.36 version and cant update anymore. Because Its not Rolling distro and I am so used to Rolling artix distro. I tried to install via nix its done but inorder to run it properly it also required latest version of its dependancies too.

Sadly I gave up.

Then I decided to upgrade zorin to latest version. I did but still it can fetch 0.38.

Now thats the thing about mpv but theres more.

My Linux Desktop Workflow

From long time I’ve been thinking to write blog about my workflow of linux desktop enviroment. How I’ve been using it and what programs I usually use. Here is the quick showcase of my Rice or Linux Usecase workflow.

Hardware

• Its pretty old hardware Cpu its 10 years old Pentium 4 dual core E5400 with overclocking support ig
• Two Hardisks 160gb each
• Ram 3gb
• No gpu (may be it has idont know inbuilt intel something I dont remember)

Operating System

Artix Linux (runit) installed with xfce4 flavoured ISO. Artix Linux is just like arch without systemd. It is very minimal and provides the same support as arch for many packages with different unit system such as runit, openrc, sinit and many more. I like it personally because It gives fast boot and shutdown time than arch.

Syncthing to Sync all things

Got multiple devices and frustrated to sync files across all of them? Need no worry syncthing is here!

Syncthing uses magic to uptodate your files and content across all your devices. All you need to do is set it up.

Installation

Just download from official website: syncthing.net or install from your distro package manager. e.g pacman -S syncthing for archlinux

Setting it up

Use syncthing --help to check all commands start syncthing server

by default it will serve webapp on port localhost:8384

Vulnerability Report - Eternal Blue

This is the Project Report I wrote when I was doing Internship in Cybersecurity with YHILLS.

I have created my Own Guestbook!

Now you can "Sign my guestbook!"

It means you leave a message marking your presence providing your feedback about site.

Its a tradition among those old web2.0 or geocities sites.

I also created a blog at here explaining how I made it.

You can Leave your message whatever you have to say via guestbook and sign it with your thought I'll publish them there. If you have any comments let me know via my email.

Chrome Dino is the legendary Easter Egg in Chromium based browsers when you lose the internet connection.

Its a nice simple game to pass the time and alleviate boredom.

I modified css little bit to blend its background color with site's color.

If you want to play this game even online you always access it (in any chromium based browser) with this url chrome://dino

What are the keybinds?

Have fun playing dino!

Remember that boring old looking "index of" page?

Needless to mention blinding white screen?

Ever wonder if you can change the way it look?

It turns out you can change it!

After Suddenly stumbling upon this mindblowing article I decided to make one of mine.

I copied every line of code from that article and edited css to my liking to give it my flavour.

Well it was nice looking and all well except the styling didnt continue when navigating to folders.

And asset base needed just to render it was too much.

I wanted to add it sooner but better late than never ig.

before this I checked out ssg5 for brief moment but it didnt work out well.

finally, I'll be free from pain of manually edit all blogs from scratch.

If you dont know this site is manually handcrafted without any ssg and its lot of pain edit it

but this enables me to learn things too

Before this my blog writing workflow was like this:

• writing the main blog file
• adding its brief view in blogindex file
• editing rss file

Now you get it why I took so long to add new blogs?

Now my new workflow with lb will be like this

• opening terminal: `lb n`
• writing main content with vim
• and publishing with `lb p`

Thats it!

No need to manually edit all header tags and giving same elements over and over. The script will do the work for me all I need to do is focus on writing the main thing.

and the best part is that I have freedom to write my blog with html so unlimited possibility of design and customizing the blog

There is also some work needed to be done with script like makeing deleting entries work.

but I gotta work with what I got.

for now

Here is the shout out to luke smith's script:

I am a mess. I dont know where I wasted all my time these months.

Was I offline these months? No actually I messed git config of this repo. And It suddenly worked now so I guess I am able to push things now. xD

There are some changes in my life. Life changing decisions has made. Some new inspirations came. and got some ways to organizing my life. .....................

Also new good habits

Updated Artix after long time

I was running 5.16.x kernel for long time. One friend suggested --> 'Its reached End of Life "ab to update karle bhai" 😅' and after a week or so finally I updated.

Thankfully it didnt put me on blank screen which tends to happen mostly with rolling releases but Everything is fine except mocp broke 😭.

MOC broked. Moved onto Musikcube.

When one thing stops working it presents opportunity to explore new things or its alternatives. Coincidencly Brodie made video about musikcube around same time.

And my journey from failed mpd+ncmpcpp experience to successfully settled on mocp (until it broked) landed on musikcube.

Though I couldnt compiled AUR versions but official precompiled binaries came to rescue.

And Here I go musikcube stands straight to help me focus while writing these techy blogs.

New Mail, New Matrix, New pubnix.

• I joined envs.net pubnixes. I got new mail working (neovoid@envs.net) this will be my main mail from now on.

• I created matrix accound on new server @neovoid:envs.net.

May be services list will grow more and more. Keep an eye on LINKS.

Have a good one.👍

No matter how much I despise javascript but how can I resist the idea of showcasing this little game in my website?

Actually I found this game on wappalyzer addon. I was fascinated to see it and started digging its code.

Wappalyzer is handy website useful for finding out the technology stack of any website.

Their browser addon is even more handy. but when the addon dont have anything to show this applet let you play tictactoe to alleviates the boredom.

Finally I switched to pipewire.

I always wanted to but thought of breaking sound used to hold me back until I decided to face my fear and let it be done.

Its not like I was having major issues with pulse audio but installing pipewire fixed one issue of unability to play multiple streams at once which might be a human error since i didnt know which package I need to have along with pulse.

So for a while I was enjoying my prompt like this:

which is neat, simple and minimal. And still I cant describe how much I love it. This is how I configured it.

It contains mainly three elements...

This was my first time making Pineapple Juice. It was cute little experiment. Knowing the basics I remembered from random youtube video I got it okeyish.

It was just like how the first time meeting with your love feels like --> innocent and naive experience. One can say "It was not that awesome but not that bad at the same time". Although Now I remember I could make it more tastier if i just added little bit of lemon or ginger. Or just youtube search one more time.

I loved the experience and the experiment. This encouraged me more toward pineapples.

After a very long time I have started going to swim at the nearest river dam of my village.

I was bored and this is summer which makes things more boring for me. but hey plus thing we have water solution here.

It was a sunny day, I was bored, trying online CTFs and making website and suddenly I picked this vibe of "sporting"....

• You'd be surprised but Yes, Its a Single HTML File.read more

  This website is a single HTML file. It simply uses the #anchor suffix (from 1992) and the :target CSS selector to show and hide pages/content.

  (Not anymore. As the project grows it was bound to have multiple pages. So for now blogs section has entirely seperate dedicated page sharing the same css file however only blogs with large texts have their own html files others only treated as microblog.)
• The site inspired by (and forked from) minimal yet responsive layout of John Does's Site from Neocities.expand

  This website is databaseless, javascriptless, and builds#$t-free, so you can edit your website with a text editor and upload it somewhere like a normal person.

• Every Link on this site opens in new tab. but whyYou can always opens links on any site with SHIFT+CLICKS but in this site you dont have to. <a href="<link>" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">link</a> To avoid Security concerns with target="_blank" I strongly recommend that you always add rel="noreferrer noopener" to the anchor element to prevent a type of phishing known as tabnabbing.explain
  • [1] Alex Yumashev's article on Tabnabbing.
  • [2] Reverse Tabnabbing - OWASP
• This blog is subject to updated.(to be continued..)
• Suggestions are welcome cuz my life is colorless like this list.

Whatever you are doing, stop right away and do this right now cuz this is IMPORTANT!.

Ever wonder? WHAT IF your favourite RTFM ^Reading the Fine Manual can be experienced with cheering colors of BAT ^ BAT - A cat(1) clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration.. Well Wait no more.

Just set this enviromental variable inside your .profile or .zprofile and see the magic of bat.

Thank me later.

Life gives lemons.

It is the thou art of juice making that defines thou lemonade's taste.
