Things to know about me, and more...

About

  • A bit about yourself?

I'm a Vietnamese with interests in the Internet.

  • Kind of human?

A normal person.

  • Interests?

Unsorted: Code, tech, computers, languages, people with good knowledge, good art, good music.

  • Languages?

Mainly Go. I had also worked with Rust, Python, Javascript. Wanted to learn Zig, Clojure, Ruby, Lua, Fennel, C++.

  • Spoken languages?

Native at Vietnamese. Decent at English but skills are a bit broken. Currently learning Japanese with an aim to reach at least JLPT N2. Also have eyes on Korean and Chinese.

avatar
  • Your cat avatar?

It is my replication attempt of the Neocities mascot (insert image). I did the drawing in one sitting with Excalidraw after borrowing a tablet from a friend.

  • Hobbies?

Chess (used to), coding, looking for new art...

Tech

  • OS?

NixOS. It is my favorite. I'd go back to Alpine Linux or Arch Linux if forced to.

  • How did you get into this?

All thanks to a Windows BSoD I can't figure out. Frustrated, I installed Kali Linux and began my Linux journey there.

  • Keyboard layout?

Colemak.

Taste

  • Favorite illustration style?

Girls with flowers and/or complex scenery/background (for example, the banner image)

  • Favorite music genre?

This is a hard question. TBH I don't really know, since I enjoy listening to a lot of genres, but if I had to choose, then, maybe shoegaze, progressive house and indie rock.

  • Favorite artist?

For electronic music, it'd be deadmau5. For rock music, it varies, I'd choose Ngọt, Cá Hồi Hoang, Parannoul, Car Seat Headrest. For other genres, it's can't really tell for now.

  • No Japanese artists though you mostly listen to them?

Hard question. Though I had a lot of impressions on Japanese artists, I felt like I don't understand their music (on many aspects) good enough to be able to "like" them.

Views

  • AI art?

It is not "art" and I dislike its consumers.

  • Views on society?

So far, not so bright. I have some thoughts in my mind, and I don't really want to share it (yet). Maybe it is just because I haven't seen the broader world (yet).

  • Thoughts on Vietnamese netizens?

Bad. I can't stand with 95% of Vietnamese people I met online. I wouldn't doubt if some studies pump out more analysis of online toxicity with Vietnam on the top 5 worst countries list.

  • Ideologies?

A lot. Need some time to organize.

  • Politics?

I don't take sides. I like the sense of freedom, being able to criticize both sides and have multiple views on different things. I don't discuss about politics online. I dislike the idea of bringing politics into software development.

Games

Almost all of my time on desktop were spent on something but games. Some games I had played before:

For mobile games (I know, I know. I am too deep down the rabbit hole now):

Wishlist

My family bought me a PC set many years ago. It's a very low-end PC with cheap accessories, but fortunately, thanks to Linux and no gaming, I was able to daily drive it without much problems (other than compiling Rust code). If I had the ability to afford a better working experience, I'd do so. Here is my wishlist, I also made one on Amazon:

  • Keyboard: HHKB Professional Hybrid Type-S
  • Mouse: Logitech G203, or anything that works
  • Mousepad: anything that works
  • Phone: Google Pixel (I want freedom)
  • IEM: JVC HA-FD01 (a recommendation from an IEM addict)
  • A better PC
  • A better monitor (i'm using a 1680x1050 monitor)
  • A NAS?
  • A VPS

If you have a recommendation for me, you can contact me.
