  • Five Questions October

    It's been quite a while that I posted something, but there were *reasons*, trust me! I will probably make a long post about this. But I found a nice way to get started again: Christina's October 2025 Five Questions.

  • My Hardware Specs

    This server is made of my old big rig, my first built desktop computer. Through the ages I've replaced everything except the CPU. Originally I hosted many servers on my Raspberry PI 3B, my pet http site[1] I made at age 18, and minecraft servers for friends. It worked well until seaweed was added to the game, I had to upgrade servers for seaweed.

    The HTTPs server built with C++ using boost asio, somehow it's fragile enough to where I cannot recompile it, and frankly I want to re-write it in zig, an excessively fragile language; but I've gotten this gemsite working in zig and with less libraries, I feel pride in this version.

  • Goodbye Debian… 😢

    I installed Debian on my kids' laptops, and just recently I upgraded everything to Debian Trixie, however one of the laptop, the Dell Latitude 7390 has started to behave weirdly, with very frequents system freezing.

    When I tried to understand what are the causes, I realized I am not to troubleshoot #Debian anymore! Now logs system is so tightly integrated with "systemshit" that I am not able to understand anymore what is going on under the hood. Especially because in the last years my main daily drivers have been Devuan and FreeBSD and both are "systemd-free."

    Once, before systemd, if you had an issue (with Debian) you could go on the `/var/log/` directory and look for any logs that sounded familiar like: `kern.log`; now you can't, there are still some logs but not the ones that you need.

    • Compiling sheepy with fil-c

      `fil-c` is a memory safe implementation of the C programming language.
