This way, I don't further burden my improper server. For months now, precisely since the beginning of mid-February 2022, I have been using a Switch console as a server for too many things: in addition to the historic SpaccCraft server, I have my own Matrix instance, some Telegram bots which are perhaps the things that require the least resources, and software assorted minors. Yes, Nintendo Switch on which I started Ubuntu..
|
||||
I won't go into details, it's better to do it in a separate article, but in short the reason is that SBCs like the Raspini, to date, due to current world events, have scary costs, and the Switch was the only low-cost computer consumption with enough RAM (4GB) that I already had at home. You have to adapt.

|
||||
|
||||
## How?
|
||||
|
||||
Let's go back to the discussion of the postoctt: with Replit, taking as a basis a Repl found around that demonstrated how to host another type of service on Tor, I built my Repl which: at each new start, downloads locally everything needed to compile and deploy my static site (from my Git repos), prepare everything, and start an HTTP server and the Tor daemon, which acts as a proxy by exposing the HTTP server to the outside via the Tor network. Then endlessly, all through Git, download any updates to any of the parts and, when necessary, regenerate the site.
|
||||
I leave here the link to a GitLab snippet with my files, for anyone who wants to do the same service as me for their own website, perhaps built with my very low quality static site generator (at a code level, if it disgusted me on a conceptual or practical level I wouldn't be developing it slowly yet): [gitlab.com/-/snippets/2338457](https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2338457){[:MdTgtBlank:]}.

|
||||
|
||||
With free PaaS services like Replit, however, there's a little problem: there are limits on software execution times. In the case of this platform, everything goes into suspension if the project's web address does not receive pings for I didn't quite understand how many minutes. If it receives any later, it wakes up after the time necessary to redo the startup operations.
|
||||
It's a shame however that, apart from the fact that it would mean making anyone who wants to visit my site wait at least 30 seconds for the first connection to be established, it is the HTTPS address on the Replit domain that must be contacted, for obvious reasons not the Tor address. And having people connect via the HTTPS address defeats the purpose of having a Tor site (which I'll get to shortly, I swear).

## Why?

|
||||
Let's immediately get the elephant out of the room (which is already small): the desire to set up a site that contains immoral material at serious levels (which I differentiate from illegal material per se), which if hosted on the traditional web would be very easy to tracing back to the owners with all the consequences of the case, is not the only sensible reason for wanting to use Tor (or any other network based on the same technical principles, but Tor is for better or for worse the most famous and used).

Tor provides strong anonymity compared to the unfiltered Internet. Why it should be of interest to those who do not traffic in illicit content is quickly explained not with an answer, but with a question: do you happen to want to make what you do (including visiting a particular website, like my blog) known to multi-billion dollar corporations? that in return they will not give you anything, indeed they have no scruples about doing everything possible even to your detriment (tracking) to profit in one way or another?

|
||||
How do you want your ISP to know about the particular Internet services you contact? Or have the person hosting those Internet services identify you (me and my ISP if it's something hosted in my house, otherwise the particular provider for servers provided by companies, like Replit itself or GitLab.com where I host the site on the clear web ), if you won't gain anything from it?
|
||||
For many people, for some reason, this reasoning doesn't add up, but few care and, although I don't go to some extremes, I understand the points of view of the few people who want to maintain as much anonymity as possible even when they do moral and moral things. online lawyers. Accordingly, I agree with and encourage the use of Tor to access the services and content I provide.

When you use Tor to connect to sites on Tor, the connection is not only routed between even more nodes on the network, but the data is encrypted with a public and private key system between the client and the Onion service server: the only the weak point in the chain is the server itself, which stores the private key, there are no other authorities to trust.
|
||||
The system has problems, I will absolutely not deny it, starting from the fact that if the private key is stolen, thieves can impersonate the site and at that point the only thing to do for those who manage it is to change the key, thus also changing the domain, you cannot go to the CA to revoke the certificate. This is how a system based 100% on mathematics and 0% on trust works.

Today's Web is unquestionably very different from that of 20 years ago, and it changes more and more with each passing year.
|
||||
Looking at the positive sides of progress is always very easy and reassuring, and for this reason we rarely think about the dark sides which, in many, many things, exist. The Web, unfortunately, is one of these.
|
||||
|
||||
## What's happening?
|
||||
|
||||
The Web of documents is taking a turn for the worse, slowly becoming more and more, to all intents and purposes, the Web of apps.
|
||||
The Web of documents is taking a turn for the worse, slowly becoming, to all intents and purposes, the Web of apps.
|
||||
To understand the problem, however, we must remember what the World Wide Web was in its infancy. It was an Internet platform for exchanging information in the form of hypertext, that's it. And what are hypertexts? Some documents. Of course, very particular documents, where reading can take place in a non-linear way thanks to hypertext links, and the Web in particular has evolved to be a hypertext system with support for decorated text, multimedia elements, and highly advanced layout... but at the basically we always talk about documents.
|
||||
|
||||
In the very early days of the Web there were only so-called static sites, meaning they always remain the same (unless updated by those who administer them), and there is nothing that users who visit can do to change them. This category includes things like a simple blog, the site itself for example, a news site, the demonstration site of a company or product, an encyclopedia... in short, simple things of this type.
|
||||
|
||||
A little later (days or weeks, the idea was already envisaged in the very first specification of the Web and HTML) the idea of using servers that could process information entered by users with buttons and text fields, interact with database, and essentially provide a user-generated content experience. Therefore, forums in a more classic sense began to emerge, sites for creating sites (!) in a simpler way (CMS), the social networks closest to us, webchats and, let's not forget, search engines. These are the dynamic websites.

These are the dynamic websites.
|
||||
|
||||
In this period, however, it did not matter whether we were talking about static or dynamic sites, only documents returned to the computers of any user who contacted the site. Whether it was the HTML page itself, a CSS file to stylize the page, or multimedia files (at the time only photos) placed between one block of text and another, to the browser, the program that interprets and displays these documents, only documents to be interpreted returned, not programs to be executed.
|
||||
Here we are still in the exclusive existence of the Web of documents, for the Web of applications we will still have to wait.

To be honest, this is not the only problem: scripts very often slow down pages, especially on older and less powerful devices, and on some very old stuff they don't work at all, thus breaking sites that use them extensively. In practice, this means that sites that unnecessarily choose to integrate JavaScript are, on any hardware, often much slower than those that don't.

The problem here, it must be specified, does not lie in web apps that can be defined as real applications, which use JS to function. Whether it is a calculator, a game, a word processor, a photo editing app, we are always talking about applications, no matter whether they are written in native language as native apps for a specific platform, or whether they are written in JavaScript as applications for Web browsers. All of these things require the client to execute the code, because these are very interactive apps, and that's okay. I myself often use apps that run in a browser window.

||||
There would then be a long discussion regarding the Web as an application development platform, for many reasons (even the flaws), positive and negative, but I will talk about it in the future.

Maybe a year ago, partly out of curiosity and partly because I already imagined that it might have been something convenient, I developed a marginal interest in smartphones equipped with complete physical keyboards.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't mean the damn numeric keypads, which you still see on non-smart phones today, I mean keyboards with dozens of individual keys dedicated for letters and symbols.
|
||||
This type of keyboard was already rare to see on phones prior to the smartphone era: it first appeared not on ultra-cheap models, but in any case it might not always be very comfortable due to its small size.
|
||||
The more smartphones began to spread, the more physical keyboards began to disappear, even though they have rarely been present on some modern phones, and even of generous dimensions.

I don't remember if this time last year was just before or shortly after I bought a new smartphone, my current one; the fact is that I had to choose it based on precise and restrictive criteria, first and foremost the cost and, unfortunately, there was no low range with a physical keyboard.

For almost 7 years I have had an Acer laptop, [Aspire V3-572G](https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/5389){[:MdTgtBlank:]}, undoubtedly now a bit old, without praise and with some infamy.
|
||||
When it was purchased, it was essentially a mid-range notebook like any other, without any notable features. I mean, I used it quite a bit and it more or less always did what it was supposed to, until about 2 years ago I started demanding to use heavy games and development tools, at which point the new (desktop) PC was great. obligation.

## A little problem

Where are the infamies, I hear you think?
|

Where are the infamies, I hear you thinking?
|
||||
For at least a year now, my use of the laptop has dropped significantly, because an initially small problem has, all of a sudden, become enormous.
|
||||
|
||||
### The smasher
|
||||
|
||||
Going in order, - I don't remember precisely, but we're talking about at least 3 or 4 years ago, when this was my only personal PC - the problems started when the W key stopped working, over the course of a few days. Az.
|
||||
It's true that I'm a Linux user, and that at the time I was also excessively gamer, but I never hammered that or any other button, contrary to what the stereotypes about my categories may tell you.
|
||||
The lesson to be learned here is: if you are at home, and therefore have the opportunity to use an external keyboard, it is better to use that one to play, otherwise over the course of a few years you will completely burn out the key you use (in many 3D video games). to move forward.

|
||||
The funny thing is, like I said, the button broke within a few days, not right away. Initially it only became hard to register the pressures, which inevitably led me to press harder and harder, until I evidently **broke through** it.
|
||||
|
||||
Acer shit? I'd say, **Acer shit**.
|
||||
But, it seems, all laptop manufacturers, even the big and famous ones, often mistakenly associated with quality only because of their fame, too often churn out products with terrible design or construction errors. The laptop that unfortunately happened to me, as we understood, was no different.

|
||||
|
||||
### The consequences
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, the PC had become only slightly inconvenient to use in some situations.
|
||||
There were no big problems on my desk, I connected a USB keyboard and that's the end of the story.
|
||||
In other situations, typing the W (you don't need a sledgehammer to write in Italian, but you do for many other things) began to require the use of the on-screen virtual keyboard, with the mouse to press the W, which would then start to go around CTRL+C and CTRL+V whenever I needed.

|
||||
|
||||
In any case, from that moment, the use of the notebook keyboard reduced, both because I used an external keyboard when possible, and because a little later I assembled the new PC and started using the laptop less in general (difficult do otherwise, when there is comfortable space on the desk for only one external keyboard, which for obvious reasons must be connected to the fixed PC).
|
||||
What is very strange is that, since about 1 year ago, despite little use, many other keys quickly started to fail, out of nowhere. I can't say if any other keys then completely died, but certainly at least 60% of the keyboard started to want **beats** to register the pressures.

Protecting yourself from tracking is possible, but it is not at all simple.

<p>After several of those days in which I reluctantly had to decry the sea water as unsatisfactory - too cold, too rough to even stay on the shore without rolling away, overall uninviting atmosphere - finally today between late afternoon and first evening the cards on the table are the right ones, which allow me to make that most desired move: <strong>peeing in the sea</strong>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At the beginning, my idea was to just stay on the shore, distracted and with my head full of other thoughts. However, in just a few minutes the environment proved to be extremely enveloping for the senses, and my thoughts slowly aligned themselves with the frequency of the waves. Following this <strong>new calm</strong> and welcoming rhythm, then, I push myself a little further into that vast blue, getting wet up to my waist, there in the Tyrrhenian Sea.</p>

<p>In the end, after making these 3 for my mother... I almost started wanting some made like this too though! 😅️ <br>
|
||||
So I made at least one more, but this time, having infinite time, I tried with vinyl glue.<br>
|
||||
I don't know whether the decoration made in this way is water resistant or not, because my vinyl glue is so-called "washable", but I don't know if it can only be washed with water or soap is also needed. I'll avoid having it rain on my head when I wear it, I guess.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Despite this potential risky side, I think that using vinyl is still the best choice, for an aesthetic reason: when it dries completely, it becomes totally transparent. Hot glue, on the other hand, remains dense and visible, making the final work look dirty and messy. It's fine when I have to join cardboard or fabrics, but not in this case.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After a few days of use, however, I noticed that the vinyl glue does not stick very well to the rubberized plastic of the clothespin, and it has come off slightly at the edges. Nothing serious, but it should be kept in mind; to solve this, I think it is enough to add a little more glue (vinyl or non-vinyl) which also goes around the side of the clothespin and incorporates it slightly.</p>

<p>So, in the end, my mother had a product that was almost not even truly complete, compared to the more refined one that I created just a moment later! 💀️ Her real gift was therefore acting as a beta-tester. I then offered her to rearrange the first three clothespins a little, but she said that, at least those three, she wants to keep them like that, and at most she'll make her some more new ones. Well, I don't know what to say, there are those who prefer to use betas for life, apparently (absolutely not <a href="https://spacecraft.altervista.org" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank" >me about Minecraft</a>...).</p>

Once you have chosen the stick, the **choice of distribution** Linux remains, perhaps even more important.

All in all, it worked well and quickly but, despite the few apps installed, the memory was overflowing. This would give me some problems later: for example, there was no space to put Minecraft and play [SpaccCraft](https://wikispacc.miraheze.org/wiki/SpaccCraft){[:MdTgtBlank:]}, which which I wanted because it can be useful.

- I have a **system that adapts** to my tastes, that I can carry in my pocket and use **on any PC**, without ever having to reconfigure anything (except, sometimes, the BIOS settings) .

- The system in question, contrary to what I could find on the vast majority of PCs around (Windows), **respects my freedoms**, and does not end up my data in the hands of a monopolistic corporation which, in exchange , it would give me absolutely nothing: on any PC I use, even those that aren't mine, I remain consistent with my values.

- Some **particular software**, such as Minecraft Java (which, apparently, may not work on some Windows PCs, because perhaps the GPU drivers do not work correctly, and Windows does not have the OpenGL emulation software from [Mesa] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics)){[:MdTgtBlank:]} at the system level, as opposed to Linux), **should always work**!

Now, it cannot be said whether the problems registering the presses were due to the externally smashed button, or to internal problems that have nothing to do with the initial malfunction of the button (and the final destruction occurred due to my pressing the button a hundred of times a minute to make him exercise).. what is certain is that alcohol is not enough to fix 😅.

Initially, I try to solder just above the broken leg, which in itself should solve the problem; unfortunately, the side of the pins is so short, and the button in such an awkward position (since we are talking about a back button), that the solder on my pin touches a little next to it and shorts the ground. This makes the button always pressed, and therefore it's even worse (my flashcart menu doesn't open if any button is pressed at startup!) than what I had before.

At this point, I think about desoldering the button, because anyway... and it works fine, perhaps due to the size of the SMD device, small but not too much: the board has remained clean.

**2048** is a simple puzzle game in which you have a grid of randomly generated numbered tiles that you can slide entirely in one of four directions. All numbers are powers of 2, and equal numbers that collide add to become their double.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you reach 2048 by adding up the tiles, you **win** a game, which however can go on even further.

I discovered Minecraft when I was maybe 7 years old, because another kid had it on his tablet at after school. I remember that he had built several large buildings, with decorations and everything. I was blown away practically instantly, because I had never seen any game that was remotely close to this one, even though at the time we were in the very first alpha versions of Minecraft Pocket Edition, which had very little content (less than Minecraft Java alpha!).

# 💣 Minesweeper
|
||||
|
||||
In **Minesweeper** (in Italian officially "**Minefield**") you have a game grid in which bombs have been randomly placed (by an algorithm). To win, you need to locate them all without exploding any of them.
|
||||
|
||||
The rules are simple, but the game easily reaches high levels of complexity and has an I-don't-know-what that you can't do without.

Once you get the hang of it, after hundreds of games played and repeated over time, the moment of playing often becomes comparable to a meditative session capable of absorbing your soul. Only those who have made this puzzle their daily bread know the sensation: the hand is moved according to an overflowing flow of commands, imparted directly from an instinctive layer of the mind, often at a speed greater than that in which the conscious brain can register what the hell is happening; sometimes, after making the right moves in the heat of the situation (but never made at random), these are questioned by the conscious part of the mind about a fraction of a second later! - for no reason, because, again, correct.
|
||||
|
||||
By accumulating that single or double daily batch over the weeks, months, and years, you unconsciously learn to recognize all the mine placement patterns: the images of the numbered tiles - arranged exactly in a certain way, or another, of the dozens of possible - are imprinted in the mind and are then fished out and analyzed automatically the moment you are about to click. Hence some people claim to experience something similar to the "Tetris effect" with Minesweeper too: seeing patterns of numbered tiles in random semi-conscious situations (e.g., half-asleep).

The parkour element of the game is extremely immersive; although I haven't played the first game in the series for long enough, but only the second, _Mirror's Edge: Catalyst_, I can talk about a magical experience about the latter. Perhaps thanks to the graphics, more realistic than the first game, certainly thanks to the controls, responsive but not excessively taxing, the pace of the game is naturally pressing.
|
||||
|
||||
For a title that is enjoyed with standard equipment, not in virtual reality, the extent of this quality is decidedly impressive. Often while playing _Mirror's Edge_ I found myself in states of _flow_ that were both refreshing and tense in which, without me thinking too much about it, I went in just a few seconds from anxiety due to exaggerated leaps of faith, in which it was as if my weight on the chair was canceled out making me feel like I was suspended in the air, to others of continuous running with low effort, almost as if Faith was moving alone and not by my hand.

The game cannot disappoint even those who, after a subjective analysis, might believe that such a formula could quickly become monotonous: _Mirror's Edge_ is not just platforming and parkour, but features hand-to-hand combat against human entities (practically the police who want to hinder runners). In the most suitable moments to break up the rhythm of the gameplay, you come across stakeouts that you have to deal with immediately, with dry and continuous moves: the less time you waste, and the sooner you continue on your path, the better.

# Avoid accidentally calling commands in the terminal
|
||||
|
||||
While working in the terminal, perhaps developing programs, I often accidentally invoke a command that I shouldn't.
|
||||
|
||||
This happens to me because I work like this: I edit something in my favorite text editor window, then go to the terminal window, and press `[Up Arrow]` (which recalls the last command executed) and `[Enter] ` to run it.
|
||||
This happens to me because I work like this: I edit something in the window of my favorite text editor, then I go to the terminal window, and I press `[Up Arrow]` (which recalls the last command executed) and `[Enter] ` to run it.
|
||||
|
||||
What I've noticed is that sometimes, in my haste, I happen to press `[Up Arrow]` one too many times, which recalls the penultimate command executed, or the one even before it.
|
||||
Since I practically do these sequences of actions almost automatically, without reading to make sure that the selected command is actually what I want before pressing `[Enter]` (because that's all I expect), it happens several times that I execute a command which I shouldn't: often, it's the command to make a commit [Git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git){[:MdTgtBlank:]} of my changes to the workbook, and immediately load them in the cloud.

|
||||
|
||||
Now, this is not good, because it means that in the Git history I will have certain "wrong" places: with descriptions with duplicate text, and the code in an unsuitable, non-working state, because I was in the middle of testing some changes.
|
||||
Having such a messy Git history definitely affects its quality, because it's more difficult to find a specific past point in the code in the future, which nullifies one of the useful features of Git - and in general it's something I don't like, it annoys me , see dirty history.

## The script

|
||||
To solve the problem, I invented this little script (tested with _sh_ and _bash_), the idea is to launch the "dangerous" commands through it in situations in which I have to make those moves with the terminal (but, if desired, I it can be set as an alias to implicitly always call it for a given command).

Speaking of microSD cards: they are almost disposable, they have an extremely limited life, given that their memory chips are the waste from the manufacturing of other, higher-end memories, such as SSDs.

You read all sorts of things online: there are those who say that every single memory cell can withstand 10,000 rewrites, and those who say that you can at most write 1,000 times the capacity of the memory before it completely fails (going into read-only mode)... no conclusion is reached.

I have had cards like the one examined today, with a capacity of 32 GB, which, apart from the almost 2 TB written since the last formatting, in my opinion has seen at least 3 TB in total in its entire life, and yet it still seems fine; and then, I've had cards that started giving problems for much less. Maybe it's because I used the latter with crappy file systems, like FAT32 or exFAT, and for this reason they were constantly corrupting.

**(in a way that probably makes the operation possible even for non-scholastic texts.)**
|
||||
|
||||
Here I am on my umpteenth little adventure.
|
||||
This time I'm dealing with some stupid DRM, which I could, like many people, try to circumvent in a super-studied and perfect way... but, even in this case, the simplest solutions are the best.
|
||||

My solution, however ugly and inelegant, is universal.

I didn't set out to write scraping programs to perhaps download books from sites, or to convert the strange formats of offline readers into more common formats. Who wants to start repaying everything you need, and 4 times, once for a different digital book supplier?

## Why all this?
|
||||
|
||||
The reasons that push me to get into this mess are multiple.
|
||||
Of course, it's because I need digital books, considering how convenient they are. Since I started high school I have only brought my lagging tablet, no paper brick books (except for a few bad apples, like the physics and Italian literature books, which are not provided digitally...). If I didn't do this, my backpack would explode and my thin loli back would shatter.

|
||||
But why do I have to extract the books, and not use the publishers' applications?
|
||||
|
||||
**Apps don't work**
|
||||
: The first reason is simply this. Some apps simply work badly, being slow to load the menu, a book, or even a page... when with a PDF or even images seen in the gallery I wouldn't have the slightest problem. Others don't work at all! They lose their session all the time, or even they are completely broken and think I'm offline, and I can't access my books.

Well, DRMs take away this too, they are the absolute inexcusable evil and, if already everything that I use for my purposes does not have DRMs (because it has never had them, or because they have been removed, by me or other people), it would be It's nice to resolve this issue also for school books, which I only use because the curriculum requires it.

**Being able to preserve and share books**
|

: Paper books, once you buy them, you own them. You can do whatever the hell you want with them, and they don't disappear overnight because some burnt nut head decided the license is expired. Why shouldn't it be like this for digital ones? I'm not into it, so I want to preserve them - as a matter of principle, not because I think I'll reopen them again after school... personally I prefer to search the web for anything I find I want or need to know. As a bonus, I will also upload them online, so that anyone who wants to download them can do so (if they want it for personal study and not for school use, since these publishers reprint the books every year and schools always fall for their scam).
