Hey everyone! Archie here. I know it's late, it's 28th June, and this site was created on the 27th, but i was taking care of myself after i caught the flu, and i didn't have the energy to write up stuff. I'm surely feeling much better since then, but, that was it for myself.
Now, i started this site on the 27th of june, 2025 because i wanted a way to just express myself more freely. as you might know, i had a blog on the blogger platform, but then i remembered something: i had taken a web design course last year and got my degree, and i decided to put my skills to a test, and so i started this cool website, little by little, at first it was just a blank html file, then a title, and random stuff, then i decided to organize it, then it got some color thanks to the power of the cascading style sheets (css).
i started to put on more and more stuff, and it grew ever since. I never expected it to have that much views now, whoa, thank you so, so much for the continuous support, you people are awesome!
Anyways, it grew, and eventually, with time, i started my blog, in which then, it got to a point in which i removed all of my blog posts, and on the 13th June 2026, i put on some work, and i remembered that on my asus laptop i installed FreeBSD, and it worked perfectly and i compiled my own FreeBSD kernel. I wrote about the FreeBSD kernel, and how to get it up and running on a laptop. It was good, because i was expressing my knowledge in computer science. Then, i got an idea; write some install notes and stuff for myself regarding the first steps of my little myself with the OpenBSD operating system (that is the biggest post on my blog, by the way!).
I'll keep updating both the website and this cool, awesome blog.
In other stuff, I recently switched to GNU/Linux from OpenBSD just because i wanted to try out something different from the usual, and to break free from the systemd nonsense. This systemd stuff is really everywhere, it's like a plague that extends everywhere we look. Debian gnu/linux uses it, ubuntu uses it, arch, fedora, opensuse (both tumbleweed and leap), and so on, and on, and on. And it's really, really bad. systemd got to a point in which it hogs your computer's resources, makes it hang for minutes, and it's so complicated to use & maintain. And we really can't do anything about systemd's expansion, that's for sure, but i believe we can do better, by using gnu/linux distributions that prioritize other init systems over systemd (the so-called "non-systemd" distributions, which are all awesome. Artix, Void itself, GNU Guix, Slackware, Devuan, Gentoo, and many, many others as an example. There are better init systems out there: runit, openrc, sysvinit, dinit, the suckless's init (sinit), s6-rc, and others...
