  • I just straight up didn’t have a room. At first I even had to sleep in the same bed with my dad. Well, “bed”. Extendable sofa where you had to lay at a specific position to avoid the springs. And eventually just some cheap ass soft foam mattresses that I am sure weren’t meant to be directly put onto anything hard.

    Though I finally got a bed when I was around 10. Still in the room with dad.

    Mother had her own room.

    I ended up spending most time on the toilet.





  • High pitched noises sometimes. I have an audio spectrum visualizer app installed to confirm these. But they can be pretty weird as they bounce around. You’ll get these heat spots. Unfortunately, I feel like my ears are degrading now.

    Anyway, dimmable LED lights are often a problem due to PWM. Only full brightness is quiet.

    Smell, I don’t even know what the hell that was. There is or was something in the back of one bus. I wouldn’t say it’s smell, but… something. Just a spicy punch that doesn’t quite let me breathe in. I noted down the license plate if I’ll experience it again to confirm it’s the same vehicle, but this wasn’t the first time, though unfortunately I didn’t copy it that first time. Same line though, so possibly same vehicle as well.
    But I am not sure if I was the only one, no one was visibly bothered, but who knows.




  • Doesn’t help that I often get fascinated by the most basic things, and then they just occupy my mind.

    Recent example: Internet
    When I say I get distracted by the internet, you’d probably think I go to TikTok or YouTube shorts. No, I mean internet itself.

    I set up Tailscale, and it’s running on my headless home computer. And oh my god, I for some reason find it fascinating. I might not even have anything to do, but I just SSH in, or even run VNC, and it’s just awesome.
    I am accessing a computer in a different city, using it as if it was here.
    Then I run sshfs, and it looks like local storage. How awesome is that?
    And it’s mobile data on both sides. So much data going through the air, through walls, to a distant tower, on both sides.
    Plus it’s so quick! Just milliseconds, and the bits are here.

    Literally what web is too. Using computers from not just different cities, but even different continents.

    I’ve used it for a few months now, but I still sometimes just log in just because. It still fascinates me that I can access my computer from so far away.
    Oh and oh god, I almost forgot about when I ran SDR++/RTL-TCP server on it, and used SDR from a different city. Sampled RF signal live, right over the internet, how cool is that?

    Welp anyway, right now I tried to watch some video, but got distracted by random thought of RAMdisk. So, now I am listening to music from tmpfs for no good reason.














  • Tastes too watery in my opinion.
    I actually like soy milk more, in fact more than normal milk.

    Although that may depend on the brand, and I don’t know what it does with ice cream.

    Unfortunately, they soy milk stuff makes my mouth itchy, throat scratchy, and gives a bit of a funny feeling to my stomach, and flushing it down with water doesn’t help.
    Maybe I shouldn’t…, meh. I already had to leave out most of fruit due to this. Ironically, no issues with pineapples and kiwis. I’ve heard someone say the pineapple core is just trash because it makes their tongue numb and is just hard anyway. I’ll just chew it and the only drawback is having to floss afterwards.
