my corner of the world

hidden within the endless abyss

beneath the glowing ether of a digital sea

Breaking in the Front Page with a Request!

Given this site is in the back-room corner of the classroom, I doubt this will see much tracion, but I figured it's worth a shot.

My brother has a difficult life, given that he tries his best to be a good dad, while dealing with a toxic ex-wife who leeches money from him to the point where he struggles to pay for even basic shit.

Recently (and at the time of writing today is 27-Mar-2026), his car started having problems, and the issue is fixable, but paying for it isn't feasible with his situation.

I'm putting a link to his GoFundMe here, in the hopes that some good samaritans will help him out.

Thank you for reading. Even if you can't help out directly, I hope someone can help spread the word at the very least. :3

Today I Fucked Up and I Hate Everything - 1 April 2026 (not a joke)

If you've ever used Linux extensively (i.e. almost everything you do is through the terminal instead of through GUIs), you'll understand why today I felt like nothing mattered anymore.

I was getting ready to do some work, and was cleaning out random files that were taking up space and were no longer usable.

One of those items was a backup folder from a previous install of Linux named 'home', spelled the same as the standard 'home' folder, but on a different drive.

I tried to delete it, only to realize that folder - and all of its subfolders - had perms still on it from before.

So I did what I always do when I need to delete recursive folders with perms:

$ sudo rm -rf /home/

Those of you with astute observation or a core understanding of Linux commands already understand why the last half of my day has been crying and attempts to not be crying.

For those who don't know, or don't use Linux, 'sudo' is our version of 'run as admin'.

'rm' is "remove" (literally), and '-rf' is an 'argument' (think of it as an extra option) that says "do the 'rm' thing but for all folders inside the folder".

(Actually to be more specific, the 'r' is "recursive" (the all folders thing), and the 'f' is "force".)

To put it simply: there's a massive difference between

./home/

and

/home/

the former being "the 'home' folder in this directory (the dot = "this folder's"),

and the latter being "the actual 'home' folder of the entire computer".

So I had a really bad day, lost a lot of customization, lost some scripts I liked to use, and am now on a new install of CachyOS once again. On top of that, I have to re-setup certain things that I never wrote down, of which some are important.

Also I didn't have Timeshift installed.

The site is undergoing a LOT of changes.

Expect things to be broken, missing, moved around, etc.

In Progress or Planning:

• Changes to navigation menus.
• Header bar for page transitioning. Done. Optimizing (I just learned about semantic types; fml).
• Left Sidebar for current page's content (maybe).
• Right Sidebar for condensed info (maybe) (probably going wiki-style, idk. i like these small things).
• I'm not an HTML/CSS guy - it might take me a while.
• Additional pages for games I like that don't have easy-to-access information (i.e. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly) <- CURRENT
• Additional pages for personal projects (i.e. custom Lockout.Live boards)
• Updating style as I go.

Originally I made this changelog for the Stalker Anomaly wiki, but I think it works better here on the front page for now.
