“We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.”

Let’s migrate all from my self-build custom Android ROMs to the available official builds at the moment, trying to save some by avoiding servers for now. No Google Apps (GApps) and even microG for my main daily driver.
It takes a large appetite to bet on your one wild, precious life and decide what is best for you, to get offline, even when the whole world is shouting at you to better get yourself on LinkedIn, create Instagram to not miss out on the whole entire world having fun, to be well suited for life in the 21st century.
Man, I was just so tired of losing my time, attention, energy, humanity to Big Data.
There is no reward for losing all your life, so decide.
Take your freedom.
It’s free to be free.
You decide.

Just switched after a long while from Debian Stable with XFCE to Debian Testing with GNOME. GNOME does feel smoother now even on old hardware. ^_^
Hell yeah! \m/
Few things I’ve been playing around these days:
- I just recently found out that Netlify CMS, which I have been using to generate posts easily on this site has been rebranded to Decap CMS. I went ahead and changed the necessary moving pieces, which is not a lot, and I have been using it now typing this.
- Updated Hugo (which statically generates this site) to v0.127.0, thankfully nothing breaks so far.
- I am now signing my Android custom ROM builds with my own private keys. This is for the new requirement of Play Integrity that checks now if the ROM is signed or not.
- Ditching again Google Apps on my phone for microG, hopefully I won’t revert back due to some apps that requires it.
- Changing the site colors to light mode.
I’m now inspired to add the tech I’m using here, as well as updating my site again, credits to Derek Sivers for the motivation for all of this.

Stillness……
After a month of trials, I finally built a stable custom Android rom for my old device. I now even tried applying backported security patches. All is good.
Frequent evening bike rides while stargazing with clear skies on a remote area has been the highlight of these past few days together with my listening parties.
Some xkcd strips while I’m at it:
Rise up early, tried to chill for a bit, remembered to fix some deprecated functions in Hugo, and suddenly this website is now using v0.102.0 version, which is latest as of today. Nice holiday.
Read manga for the whole day and rediscovering my previous music taste. This week has been good so far.
Good anime comes with good OP and ED songs. Here are my picks for Winter 2021 season:

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.

Oregairu really did had an impact on me.
