It has been some time since I last came onto my neocities to update its functions and my short blog entries. I think I will change this section in name of a diary or journal because when I share my essays, I guess I would rather consider those more in a blog likeness than these paragraphs. I have been very busy lately and when I have free time I feel that it is not for hobbies but rather to study more. It has felt draining, but my semester will end soon so now is when I need end strongly. Other than personal matters I rather see unfit to share online, I have been adapting to a new social life style that I have been so afraid of. I always knew it would come, but now that it is here; being alone is so peaceful. Not to sound dramatic about having a smaller social circle, but as someone who used to go out constantly with friends, its very calming to know that one does not need others to accomplish being healthy and happy. What brought me online today is really to talk about my outlook on what is going around within my region of state. There is a BIG stigma about americans that foreigners hold against us, but to be honest its very irrelevent to what I want to tackle. With all the University protests going on at the moment across the country, it feels (to me at least) that hope spreads within the idea of community. Our society encourages individualism, and what everyone sees today is the opposite of that. Not only protesting genocide from an apartheid military ethno state, but to view the power we as citizens collectively hold TOGETHER against powers that have controlled us for so long is great. OFCOURSE, this is not new but I am young and have not experienced organizing to this degree.Late post, ~Solar

Worked on trying to rice Mint two hours ago. I ended up learning the basics of using lolcat and its so silly. An issue I am having when trying to rice is understanding the basic use of the ascii commands. I have Mint on a Virtural Machine which is helpful for the time being. My goal this week regarding linux is to customize the terminal and text editor(dont have one atm so I have to find a good open source one). Taking a step back, I know I am going about with Linux in a wrong direction. I should take my time learning Bash and Assembly.... because I hate myself. Anyways, so far I am enjoying Mint. I came across HexChat and I like the general idea of what its purpose is made for but its pretty dead. Applications like discord are bleek when it comes to chatting with users online. I wanted HexChat to be a place to meet people of common interest but I guess its too restricted to Mint users.Short entry today, ~Solar

My relationship with a "healthy" sleep schedule continues to be one of my biggest obstacles. I love being productive throughout the night, it is quiet and I do not have to worry about being bothered by any sane person. I have reworked the home page and created this subpage. Of course there is more that I am able to tweak regarding this blog subsection. Though for now, I am content with its current layout.
Next subsection I will work on will be readings and writings because I have no media to share for the moment. I feel more eager to completing my neocities, knowing it will allow me to break away from branded social media. I understand that creating a web space online will not solve many of my issues, but accomplishing the completion of my neocities will surely make me feel better about corporate media and its heavy censorship. It is much complicated to get into, but at the moment I am having so much fun coding this silly little site. Unfortunately, it has given me another reason to stay up incredibly late and not sleep. But like mentioned before, I have a horrible sleeping scheudle I need to give more attention to in order to fix...
Today I have started my linux self learning journey as well, I am starting out with Mint for now because Ubnuntu has privacy issues I prefer to avoid. My main goal is to learn enough about Linux functionalities to move forward the distro chain difficulty and use Arch as a main OS. I want to be the annoying Arch user that bases every conversation regarding linux, to establish that I am a Arch user (jk). Mint is just a starting ground and I am so excited. I have purposfully procrastinated my linux education adventure because its too technical and heavily time consuming.... but that the point. Anyways, I will dedicate a subsection on my neocities about my linux self learning path and obstacles I go through. I also want to mention... I really want to make pretty ricing on Arch, but for now I will learn on Mint :)
Cya, Solar~
