Simple and complex technical notes: stuff that I don't want to forget in case I will
need it later. Mostly related to open source, self-hosted solutions and a bit of ML.
Full list of topics and their statuses is in the
next section.
notes - for the short notes and snippets, more like a dev diary
featured - for the more complex posts about my pet projects
What this site is not about
The site is not about hacking, cybersecurity, OSINT or similar topics. Even if the
content might look like it is, the intent is always different: why cannot I connect to
the internet? Is the government-forced messenger really that bad? How can I apply ML to
organize the documents? How can I use a remote Android VM for debugging and development?
Here I track pet projects and ideas so I don't forget them. I haven't touched
many of them, but I still want to keep them here, because I might want to return
to them later. Only three of them are currently active:
DeMAX - reverse engineering and analysing the MAX messenger.
Unnamed GIS project - finding a place by sketch or description. I tried
the computational geometry methods, but it was too slow so now I'm working
on adding a bit of machine learning and building a vector tile index.
Unnamed ML project, maybe I'll call it "thatsaslop" - a person must guess
AI-generated content (text, images, etc) among the man-made ones and vice
versa.

A set of colab notebooks and the pipeline that vectorizes different
variants of the map tiles
The page looks like this on purpose: no scripts, no pictures, no styles, just some
HTML pages, generated by m4 from the source files. Inotify watches the source files
and runs the Makefile to generate the HTML files on change.
