For the very life of me i cannot comprehend why most of commercial websites look like pale and completely uninteresting sh#t? What could possibly be worse than a look of utterly boring template for a chosen framework? A simple question keeps wandering through my mind:
Why were the 80s and 90s characterized by such vivid colors, whereas nowadays we lack them at all? I am unable to grasp the primary concept and put it together.
Ok, it’s been a while since i’ve dropped F bombs at you. So, i am happy to announce that this is an F-bombs day. Let’s get to it.
And yeah, before we begin: to be honest, I’m not keen on writing denunciations, but life has pushed me into doing so. This guide is crafted to ensure that others avoid falling into similar pitfalls in the future.

Ok then, back to the main topic of this website.
[Dinning menu]
for restaurants has matured and transformed into something more serious. Here are some fresh screens from the development fields featuring improved GUI and overall ergonomics with dark/light theme and custom cursor. Currently there is no any github repo because i work on the project locally. Maybe in the upcoming future i will share the source code online.
Captain Obviousness on the deck! Here are some of my personal conclusions for those of you who would like to achieve your goals no matter what.
Knowledge always comes in a slow pace, [stop worry about slow advance] Always try things in a practice & do not enter tutorial loop Never give up, just take a rest and try again Compare yourself not with somebody who is better [compare yourself with your previous copy from the past time] Always think of you improving all over the time Do not overestimate your knowledge after some learning time [remember that there are plenty things you need to learn to become a master] Value the moment that you have time to learn Pursue your dream to the end That’s it for today, i hope that you feel refreshed now!
Repeating things were transferred into template pages written in GO to prevent redundancy Codebase of the website was reduced by 233Kb [2732 lines were slain]! CSS decorations minified for even better performance 68kb -> 53kb Major refactoring of [resource fetcher]
Some new icons and pictures for your pleasure! So, less redundant code - faster browsing!
-ENJOY!
What do you think about new-neon-glowing-terminal-like-resource-preloader? It should serve a as “waiting” pix on slower 3g connections. I rewrote parsing logic a bit and put some effort into the design. Loading icons injected by means of JavaScript with some “clip-path magic”, so no pictures or svg’s. Also dropped some decorations here and there, like these one.
I am almost fullstack dev after all. As for me i am quite pleased with vertical orientation layout.

Frankly speaking, initially I considered droping a blip note that looks like this one: [LibreOffice 25.8 Is No Longer Welcoming Windows 7 Users]
but then I thought, “What the heck? Why don’t i opt to create something genuinely beneficial for the Windows 7 community instead of “competing” with the dumb vibe pseudo “coders” at my workplace”.
To save myself from boredom i have decided to start offspring web page dedicated purely to things that have something to do with web development.
Some information will be taken from [this website]
, some from [Github]
. The main reason I’m doing it is to renew the knowledge I’ve acquired and to structure it in my head. And it would be great if some of this stuff came in handy for you.
The first symptom of the infection was the random opening of unrelated websites in a separate window with the target attribute set to “_blank.” Upon further investigation, I discovered that it was a JavaScript file located in the sidebar section. I have no idea how it got there, but I immediately removed it. I checked the website and found that the issue had been resolved. After that, I checked my Windows 7 machine with the latest versions of NOD32 and Kaspersky.

I hate to ask my readers for support, but i need it now more than ever to accumulate sufficient amount of money to escape paramilitary totalitarian atmosphere. You can support me only in case of:

First of all, short congrats regarding happy New Year! It looks like that we made another one.
In this long read you will find subjective rant towards to “obsolete” Windows 7 and comparisons with [“modern” windows 10/11 shite]

Just checked some website statistics and was amazed to see that site visitors are spending around 15 minutes on weighted-average. This is quite an achievement for such small project and it looks like that i’m doing more or less acceptable job in terms of entertaining the actual user base.
Also i find out that spend time is more important than hit rate, because there is a bounce rate characteristics, which describes quantity of people who view only one page before leaving website.
Sufficient amount of small bloggers/vloggers complain about [shadow-banning problem]
on large platforms lke yt, tik-tok an so on. Some of them are trying to investigate the root cause of the issue, some of them just give up, even such legends as [High Treason]
.
Despite the fact that my yt channel was deleted without any explanations a couple of years ago and yes i run into shadow ban issue on tik-tok, when suddenly all your >200 people auditory just stop leaving comments, drop any activities for a week or so and view counters are showing zero i just don’t think that discussed thing is so important in the end of the day.
UPDATED ON: 2025-12-08 I noticed that recently Codeberg has been experiencing difficulties in correctly loading resources, which seems to be caused by the number of current users visiting my webpage. If you encounter any issues where images are not properly displayed or not fully loaded, please try reloading the page. Sorry for inconvenience.

Today i want to share my custom made 80s theme for Renoise tracker.
RENOISE `84 [v0.4b] [GRAB IT FROM MEGA.NZ]
To install it just double click on downloaded XRNC files. Renoise will launch and install theme automatically.
Also, i’ve figured out how to change internal font and set custom mouse cursor. Tracker doesn’t provide GUI for such options. All settings related to current skin could be found here:
It looks like that I wrote my self out. More than half of a year of continious postings. I’m not a cyborg posting machine anymore. No more daily notes. But, don’t worry it doesn’t mean that I ‘m dropping blog job. Posts will come up, but in a much slower pace.
And now some audio related links, just to keep organized. Some of them are under construction or frozen states, but this is temporary, for sure.
Full-fledged cameraphone benchmarks are aimed on screens > 1280px width.
So almost any desktop or laptop should be fine. Smartphones are not supported, in favor of pixel-peeping convenience.
