<h2>Things I've Done</h2>
<a target="_blank" href="/youclient"><h3>YouClient</h3></a>
<p>
My middle school gave each student an incredibly weak Chromebook
infested with blockers and spyware, and didn't allow us to bring our
own computers. Since one of my strongest skills at the time was web
dev, I made an alternative YouTube client. The entire thing is a
single html file, making it easy to distribute and run. Advantages
over using the official YouTube website are faster loading, no ads,
tab customization, anti-unload, no browser history, and no spyware
spying.

<h3>Linux</h3></a
>
<p>
The kernel is the core of the operating system. Linux is an
alternative operating system kernel, similar to the Windows or MacOS
kernels. It can run on nearly any device (including PCs and Macs),
and is used by Android. One of my favorite things to do is mess with
configuration files on my
<a target="_blank" href="https://archlinux.org">Arch Linux</a>
+
<a target="_blank" href="https://hypr.land">Hyprland</a>
system. Over the last more than a year, I've settled on an (in my
opinion) nearly <i>perfect</i> configuration.

><h3>Notes</h3></a
>
<p>
I'd always wanted to use a notes app, but I never liked any of the
options. Instead of paying with my information, time, or money for
one that someone else made, I decided to make my own. I wrote the
server in Go, the language which I believe is best for anything to
do with servers, and the app in Android Studio using Kotlin. After
completing the server, I accidentally deleted the source code,
prompting me to recode it. It's finished now, and you can view the
most likely terrible source code for the server
<a

>here</a
>. Although I don't plan on giving out the source code for the app
because it's so terrible, you can download the APK file
<a download href="notes.apk">here</a>.

<h2>Services I Run</h2>
<a

<h3>Static Webserver</h3></a
>
<p>
That's what you're using right now- my website! It's a classic Nginx
webserver. Notice how fast it loaded? That's what happens when a
website is written without any libraries, tracking, or external
fonts. This also includes a frontend for accessing the
<a target="_blank" href="https://openfreemap.org/">OpenFreeMap</a>
public instance. You can access that
<a target="_blank" href="/maps">here</a>.
</p>
<h3>DNS Servers</h3>
<p>
Back in middle school, some friends and I found a way to disable the
school Chromebook's spyware. While proxies were disabled and vpns
(almost) impossible to set up, we were free to change the DNS
servers of any network except(?) the schools. This gave us the power
to block any domain we wanted, including the domains which would
load blocklists or send away all our data. The plain DNS server is
run using BIND 9.

<h3>Git Server</h3></a
>
<p>
GitHub is slow, annoying, and trains LLMs on everything you upload.
My Git server is <i>very</i> fast (for me, at least),
annoyance-free, and <i>doesn't</i> train LLMs on your work without
asking.

<h3>Kiwix Server</h3>
</a>
<p>
Kiwix provides offline browsing of websites, including Wikipedia and
DevDocs, serving access to resources in an internet outage or while
travelling.
</p>
<a target="_blank" href="https://mozhi.miningtcup.me/">
<h3>Mozhi Server</h3></a
>
<p>
Mozhi is a proxy for several translators, used by Crow Translate by
KDE.
</p>
<a target="_blank" href="https://arch.miningtcup.me/">
<h3>Arch Linux Mirror</h3></a
>
<p>
Having my own Arch Linux mirror means my updates will be just about
instant.

<h2>Contact Me</h2>
<p class="margin-8px-top">
I'm sort of chronically online. Your best chance of quick contact is
a phone call, but Discord, email, and text work too.
