About this website

This website started as a way to solve an impossible task: organising my thoughts and writing down guides. Maybe it'll be of use to you!

  • Articles: written guides and other useful information for many fields.
  • Archive: files, programs and other things to download.
  • Projects: things that I made or programmed.

The author

I'm a young geologist specializing in remote sensing.

What I like:

  • Railways
  • Radio - I'm a radio amateur since 2022 with the callsign IU1QPT
  • Legos, of course - my oldest nickname on the internet is lego11 for a reason!
  • Free climbing and mountaineering. I feel happy only above 3000m ASL.
  • «Obsolete» IT technology (funny how Word 97 can do almost everything one would ever need from a word processor, in only 300Mb, Clippy included!)
  • Homelabbing

What I hate:

  • jQuery, Angular.js and similar "tech" (6 Mb of random .js to load a few lines of text? Are we out of our minds?)
  • People infected with AI psychosis and other fanatics of GenAI, vibecoding and so on. Thanks to them, not only has OSS been ruined forever, it has become increasingly difficult to actually work with ANNs and pattern recognition ML, because you might as well sell a kidney to buy RAM...
  • Any app, service or other whose main purpose is to collect "data" to be resold. Which is pretty much all of the modern internet these days...
