Right now I am getting this website sorted, working on many different things and doing many things with air cadets too.

Books I’m reading

Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance

This book dives deep into american hill billy culture and how people can slide into a cycle of drug use and abuse. It is very insightful.

The Bible

This book is really good… and old too! I’ve got to make a habit of it though.

What I’m watching

Various youtube videos

I almost-exclusivly watch youtube videos. I haven’t sat down to watch a proper film or TV show in a while. I probably should. My youtube history is very diverse, with topics ranging from radio to memes and niche videos about trains and other cool stuff.

Instagram reels

My algorithim is questionable. One minute, some cool nerdy video about trains or electrical stuff, then next minute it’s a video related to Instagram’s favourite word. (you know what I mean)

OS’s and computers that I’m using

Fedora Linux

Trusty linux distro I’ve been using since 2021. Never missed a beat. Rock-solid in my experience. I use it on my laptop (dualbooted with windows 11) and have used it on my desktop PC.

Windows

Adobe, MS Office don’t work on linux. I have to use both for school. I don’t really mind using Windows because I like seeing how old parts of the OS can get and all the different things it has built in you don’t normally see. I have installed ExplorerPatcher on my laptop so I get Windows 10 small style taskbar on my Windows 11 install. I do like Windows 11’s design style but on my laptop the taskbar is too big for my screen size imo. My laptop is an ASUS VivoBook M1503Q. I thought I got the 144hz version but i got the 60hz ☹️ - This laptop is what I’m using to make this website.

The only photo I could find of my laptop. Here I’m programming an ESP32 for WLED (didn’t work out in the end)

Android

One UI 6 on my Samsung Galaxy A53. I want to upgrade but new phones are expensive. 😭
