I have a persisting issue at the moment. I have nothing that keeps my attention for very long. This blog is actually the first thing to do so. ADHD goes brrrr. A lot of things I want to do I don't have the space for right now. I move in a month, so that will change, BUT the issue is now.
I have been wasting a lot of time watching YouTube videos, dreaming of doing things and not doing anything. I stumbled across a video about the personal web.
This is what has lead to this blog. I want to recapture the individualism that the web used to have. Personal sites, blogs, forums, RSS feeds. Self-curated, personal, intimate web browsing.
Not the doom scrolling, ad flooded, toxicity boosting algorithm driven sewage pile that the modern web has become. I want to capture what I experienced in 2007 when I made my first forum account for a Garry's Mod server.
In the meantime, I'm installing Linux Mint on an old Win8 ASUS Transformer tablet. Atom processors are abysmal. I do not understand how these became the norm for Windows tablets instead of them just FIXING Windows for ARM. Aaaand, I broke it. I want something to blog on that's super portable, but this might not be it. Maybe I'll find a modern ARM windows tablet now that the SnapDragon X Elite chips being shipped.
For future projects, I want to get started on modding my old GameBoys to have IPS displays and USB-C for charging. Once I have a proper workspace I'll be indulging in that.
Thanks for checking this out. It's my first blog post! Probably more to come.
The dude abides ♡
