Agora Nomic is a game of Nomic started in 1993 and still running today.
I have watched over the game since April 2020 and started actually playing
in November. I paused everything due to some family events and health
issues.

title: brainshit
title: Brainshit
---
Brainshit is my oldest website; a French blog that I initially made as part of
a PHP tutorial, then that grew into a collaborative blog with 200 articles
from me and a friend I met on Habitica.
Brainshit is my personal blog, with some occasional posts from other people
I have given access to. My best friend used to write with me in the early
years, but is now just an avid reader. Lord Vlad joined me there after we
got to know each other through [habitica](./habitica.html).
Started in 2009, it got two full rewrites, three migrations, three name changes
and four domain changes. After moving around on various free hosting services,
I decided to self-host it, at first on a Raspberry Pi Zero-W, then on an Intel
NUC named Carthage. It is now hosted on [mountain](./mountain.html), and is a
part of the [cybrecluster](./cybrecluster.html).
Brainshit is now part of the [cybrecluster](cybrecluster/).
## History
* 2009-2010: A very blue and orange website hosted on Freeheberg, using code
from a PHP tutorial on the *Site du Zéro*
([OpenClassrooms](https://openclassrooms.com/)'s old name), and with
[.tk](https://dot.tk) domain name.
* 2010-2012: Renamed it from my old nickname to *BubbleLand*, redesigned it by
filling it with `<img>` tags and scanning drawings from a notebook, and moved
to Kelio.org, a French non-profit.
* 2013-2015: Made the initial design using [Amaya](https://www.w3.org/Amaya/),
then integrated it again into the old PHP tutorial code. Moved to Hostinger,
another free PHP hosting thing. Rewrote the whole admin page using jQuery UI
once I had learned it during an internship and even tried to make a JSON API.
* 2015-now: Rewrote from scratch using things I learnt from doing a PHP project
at school and reusing that project in an internship. Articles can have just
a summary, or a summary and content, or a summary and chapters. A simple
permissions system is available, as well as comment moderation, private
messaging between writers and an idea board.
## Next rewrite
As per my [cybrecluster](cybrecluster/) rules, I want to move Brainshit away
from PHP and MariaDB and use a static site. I wanted to do that long before I
even thought about the cybrecluster. I had written a Python exporter that took
in a MariaDB database export and generated Markdown files and some tar.gz
archives for the features that I would drop during the transition.
It took me a while to decide, but I chose to just not include comments at all
in the next version of Brainshit. It will just be articles, and that's all.
We got very few comments, half of those were spam, and replying was hard since
there were no email notifications. If we want replies, we'll just publish our
email addresses or other contact info. This makes a static site much easier
to consider; the few solutions available for comments either require me to host
another service that gets backed by a database somewhere, and the whole point
was to remove the dependency on binary files, or require me and the readers to
have GitHub accounts, which is not acceptable considering the fact that GitHub
is an American company, owned by Microsoft, and makes questionable choices
regarding its clients.
I had considered at one point rewriting Brainshit in Python with Django, before
coming up with the cybrecluster and deciding that Brainshit is simply not large
enough to require something non-static. While I definitely am able to pull off
that rewrite, I don't want to host it.
I am struggling to find the static site generator that will allow me to make my
transition. I was considering moving Brainshit further away from a blog and
more into a wiki, but now that I have this wiki, this feels less relevant;
these change of plans definitely slowed me down. For now, I am considering
using [Zola](https://getzola.org).
## Article ideas
* Going to a public library felt empowering
* Coding for myself or for others
* Introduction on the Lua script generating SQL
* One-off shell scripts, immediate usage
* Learning can be transferred to PKM

* On imperfection: "Le talent d'Achille"
* How many points do we get by shooting every basketball in existence
through a hoop at once?
* Literate programming
* A conclusion on my use of the [integrity report](./integrity-report.html)
* Projects that do not follow an integrity report or that do not
seem to matter in some kind of productivity methodology aren't always
negative distractions, they can also be just *hobbies* that we do for fun.

title: About the wiki
---
## Why?
There has been a recent trend to set up [[zettelkasten]]s, which got me to
look around and see how other people handled their knowledge using a wiki.
Personal wiki articles are often short, and the focus is more on browsing
around and discovering new links between ideas.
Going public-first instead of private-first is also a trend, with wikis on
Git repos or special websites like Andy Matuschak's [[evergreen]] notes.
Going public encourages curiosity, invites others to notice what you want
to learn on or what you know and give you their input, and inspires others.
It feels less like a waste of time.
I initially started a private wiki using Vimwiki, as I just needed a space
to store random ideas and notes and wanted something I felt more in control
of than something like HedgeDoc or CryptPad, and something that I could edit
with a proper text editor and not a web browser.
I decided to move to a public wiki for various reasons:
* Some pages in my private wiki were worthy of being published, but did not
really fit as blog posts on my french blog or on my other sites.
* Most pages did not fit as blog posts because a blog post gives the feel of
something becoming permanent, becoming something you cannot go back to edit
on. Posting a journal of sorts about your research on a topic to circumvent
this issue just makes it much harder for someone to read your results, as
they need to read through the entire archive.
* Publishing online makes it feel, for me, that an idea I have, a thought,
anything I write will not be lost.
* Publishing makes my writing more worth it than just writing for myself.
* All the arguments mentioned in other personal wikis, blog articles about
personal wikis, research about personal knowledge management, blog articles
about blogging, etc., all apply here too.

## Software choice
Wikis that use relational databases or non-human-editable formats go against
my new ethics on web services: the most static possible, and the less risky
if [[mountain]] goes down, even if i do not set up anything for backups.
Wikis that would be to annoying to use (not available on every device, not
available offline, …) would make me give up earlier, so the choice of
software is pretty crucial I want to keep up this practice.
What follows is probably pretty harsh, biased, and not well thought-out enough,
and that's just how most of my software decisions go anyway :D
Paper
: Basically a Zettelkasten.
I would not have access to it on the go, would not be able to search quickly,
and would not be able to publish easily, but I would definitely not have the
UX or modern tech issues I have with everything else.
Vimwiki
: Does not use Markdown by default, but well integrated with Vim. I tried it
out for a bit and I actually do not use most of it, so I found out I was just
fine with regular Markdown.
TiddlyWiki
: I had tried it for a fiction writing project, to describe the entire lore
a la Wikia. The UI is far from being uniform since everything is a plugin,
and it is pretty resource-heavy and requires Node.js; the software does not
easily get out of your way for you to just focus on writing.
Org-mode
: I have yet to find something that cannot be structured using Org-mode, and
there are many Org-mode-based software out there, but having to learn Emacs
implies that I will very quickly give up on that.
MediaWiki
: Definitely not text-file-based, can be pretty heavy to host compared to all
my sites. Promotes long-form writing when most personal wikis tend to have
shorter articles and more links, similarly to a Zettelkasten.
[Weewiki](https://pbat.ch/wiki/weewiki/)
: Interesting, and it uses literate programming which I like, but it still
uses Org-mode and a binary format.
[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/)
: Proprietary, paid, and it looks like the UIs you get from Electron apps
so I expect it to be too resource-heavy.
[Zettelkasten](http://zettelkasten.danielluedecke.de/) (the software, not the method)
: Uses Java and seems to use its own format, not just regular text files.
[Neuron](https://neuron.zettel.page/)
: Interesting, but felt too complex at the time I started this wiki for what
I expected to need.
[Dendron](https://wiki.dendron.so/)
: Hierarchical, while what got me more interested in a system such as the
Zettelkasten was the ability to spawn relationships between random unrelated
items (which would not be hierachically related at all). Also requires
Visual Studio Code, which means it will be resource-heavy.
## Goals
I am currently moving most of my private Vimwiki-based wiki into this public
wiki or into other places such as my notebooks, my archives, or other sites
on the cybrecluster.
I want to try to use this wiki more as a tool for research than as yet another
place to publish things, and instead publish the completed research on my
French blog, as I did for the [Chinese date parsing](./cn-date.html) for
example.
I am reading *How to Take Smart Notes* by Sönke Ahrens, a book that introduces
to the Zettelkasten, and am now considering adding a "reference" folder in this
wiki for various blog articles, books, etc. that I might stumble upon and find
interesting thoughts on, to reproduce the reference system mentioned in that
book. One blog post, for which I had written an incomplete two thousand word
draft, then gave up on it, could benefit from that.

I am considering hosting some other small services such as Gopher, Gemini, or
Finger. I however want everything to only be purely static; if it does not
fit in a Git repo, it does not get into my server; Syncthing is the only
fit in a Git repo, it does not get into my server. Syncthing is the only
exception.
A WebDAV server is also hosted there, although it is only exposed to my LAN;
I use it purely to make transfers between my IBM ThinkPads running old Windows
versions and my Linux systems easier.
I tried to write some setup docs when I first set it up, but of course I did
not write everything down, that would be too easy.
## Base setup
* Boot on an Alpine Linux ISO.
* Run `setup_alpine`.
* Set the keyboard to `fr-oss` (layout `fr`, then `fr-oss` variant)
* Set `mountain` as the hostname
* Set the disks up; `lvm` on all disks
* Reboot once prompted
* Uncomment the `community` repo in `/etc/apk/repositories`
* Recommended installation: `apk add --update vim figlet htop tmux pciutils zsh`
* Edit the `/etc/motd` to taste, including a `:r! figlet mountain`
## WLAN
### Manual setup
* Scan: `iwlist wlan0 scanning`
* Set SSID to `bacon`: `iwlist wlan0 essid bacon`
* Create WPA config: `wpa_passphrase bacon password > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf`
* Start WPA supplicant: `wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf`
* Start in the background: `wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf`
* DHCP: `udhcpc -i wlan0`
### Automated setup
* Perform the above manual setup first.
* Ensure the following is in `/etc/network/interfaces`:
```
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
```
* Nuke the interface: `ifconfig wlan0 down`
* Start WPA supplicant manually: `rc-service wpa_supplicant start`
* If all goes well, `rc-update add wpa_supplicant boot`
## Graphics
* Add the graphics driver: `apk add xf86-video-nouveau` (might not be mandatory?)
* To set the screen resolution manually: `fbset -xres 1440 -yres 900 -match`
> TODO: Keep the screen resolution set permanently
## SSH
* The base setup already includes a server
* Check it with `rc-status`
* Otherwise:
```
apk add openssh
rc-update add sshd default
rc-service sshd start
```
* After updating the config at `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`, restart with `rc-service sshd restart`
* Disable `PasswordAuthentication`, `ChallengeResponseAuthentication` and `PermitRootLogin`
## Sudo
* Install sudo: `apk add sudo`
* Add a group: `addgroup sudo`
* Add a user to the group: `adduser lucidiot sudo`
* Use `visudo` to uncomment the line that allows access to the `sudo` group
## Nginx
* Install nginx: `apk add nginx`
* Start on boot: `rc-update add nginx default`
* Start manually: `rc-service nginx start`
## MariaDB
* Install MariaDB: `apk add mariadb mariadb-client`
* Start on boot: `rc-update add mariadb default`
* Initial setup: `rc-service mariadb setup`
* Start manually: `rc-service mariadb start`
* Run the installation wizard: `mariadb-secure-installation`
* Keep passwordless access for root without UNIX socket so you can do `sudo mariadb`
* Disallow remote login
* Remove anonymous users and the `test` database
* Run `sudo mariadb`
* Run `INSTALL SONAME 'auth_ed25519';`
## PHP
* `apk add php7-fpm phpmyadmin`
* `rc-update add php-fpm7 default`
* Edit `/etc/php7/php-fpm.d/www.conf`:
```
listen = /run/php-fpm7/php.sock
```
* `rc-service php-fpm7 start`

## Projects
A PSP is in that strange place in the middle of normal gaming and
retro-gaming; I count it in my retro-computing hobbies.
When it came out, it was way ahead of its time in terms of hardware,
of graphics quality, or features. It was one of the first handheld consoles
to truly be aimed at the Internet. The PSP's internet features have sadly
been slowly degrading with the evolution of Internet standards and the lack
of interest from various hackers to play with those; most people are only
focused on PSP games.
### Archival
Preserve what remains of the PSP's official websites and documentation,
especially what can be relevant to the PSP's internet features.
### CXML
Reverse-engineer a format used in multiple files of the PSP, such as
Internet Radios, folder thumbnails, etc.
<https://tildegit.org/lucidiot/cxml>
### SensMe
While archiving the websites, I re-discovered SensMe Channels.
With some general knowledge I acquired about machine learning concepts at the
workplace, I want to try to understand how SensMe works by comparing it to
modern music classifiers and analyzing its data structures.
### PSP Server
There have been a few attempts at making PSP HTTP servers:
* [PSP HTTPD](http://web.archive.org/web/20050827120434/http://www.microsith.com/psp-http/)
* [PPSPS](http://web.archive.org/web/20060703011157/http://www.pspproject.net:80/)
Another interesting project is [Peldet][peldet], a PSP Telnet/IRC client.
We want to have a new take at this and make a server out of a PSP. Not just
HTTP, anything goes; we just want to see a PSP in the wild being used as a
server. Some ideas:
* An HTTP server that returns the GPS coordinates
* An HTTP server that returns a picture taken with the PSP's Go!Cam
* A remote job entry service; send some code and the PSP returns its result
We might place a PSP running the Go!Cam service on a hill, as we had done
before with a Raspberry Pi.

## Alpine setup
[wsinatra](https://lambdacreate.com) got me interested in Alpine, and I am
having issues with Ubuntu 20 on most computers with `tank` being the worst
affected, so I am looking into switching it to Alpine. This section has some
notes on setting it up with LVM on LUKS on a virtual machine before I really
switch to it; encryption really matters to me on this specific laptop because
I carry it everywhere.

1. Go through setup-alpine until the disk prompt, then `^C`
2. `apk add lvm2 cryptsetup parted haveged e2fsprogs syslinux`
3. `rc-service haveged start`
4. `parted -a optimal`
1. `mklabel msdos`
2. `mkpart primary ext4 0% 100M`
3. `mkpart primary ext4 100M 100%`
4. `set 1 boot on`
Use `print` to check.
5. `haveged -n 0 | dd of=/dev/sda2`
6. `cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2`
TODO: try `cryptsetup -v -c serpent-xts-plain64 -s 512 --hash whirlpool --iter-time 5000 --use-random luksFormat /dev/sda2`
7. `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 lvmcrypt`
8. `pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvmcrypt`
9. `vgcreate vg0 /dev/mapper/lvmcrypt`
10. `lvcreate -L 9G vg0 -n swap`
11. `lvcreate -l 100%FREE vg0 -n root`
TODO: Also add a separate volume for /home
12. `lvscan` to check
13. `mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1`
14. `mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg0/root`
15. `mkswap /dev/vg0/swap`
16. `swapon /dev/vg0/swap`
17. `mount -t ext4 /dev/vg0/root /mnt/`
18. `mkdir -v /mnt/boot`
19. `mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot`
20. `setup-disk -m sys /mnt/`
21. Add `/dev/vg0/swap\tswap\tdefaults\t0 0` to `/mnt/etc/fstab`
22. Add `cryptsetup` and `keymap` to the `features` in `/mnt/etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf`
23. `mkinitfs -c /mnt/etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf -b /mnt/ $(ls /mnt/lib/modules/)`
24. `blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/sda2 > ~/uuid`
25. Set the proper UUID in `/mnt/etc/update-extlinux.conf`:
`default_kernel_opts="… cryptroot=UUID=<THE UUID> cryptdm=lvmcrypt"`
Also check this:
```
modules=sd-mod,usb-storage,ext4,cryptsetup,keymap,cryptkey,kms,lvm
root=UUID=<UUID of /dev/mapper/vg0-root>
```
26. `chroot /mnt/`
27. `update-extlinux`
May cause errors on `/boot`, ignore them
28. `exit`
29. `dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc if=/mnt/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda`
30. `cd`
31. `umount /mnt/boot`
32. `swapoff /dev/vg0/swap`
33. `umount /mnt`
34. `vgchange -a n`
35. `cryptsetup luksClose lvmcrypt`
36. `reboot`
37. Enable the community repo in `/etc/apk/repositories`
38. `apk update`
39. `setup-xorg-base xfce4 xfce4-terminal lightdm-gtk-greeter xfce4-screensaver dbus-x11 sudo`
40. `apk add xf86-video-intel xf86-input-synaptics xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard setxkbmap elogind polkit-elogind gvfs-fuse gvfs-mtp fuse-openrc thunar-volman udisks2`
41. Update the Xorg config:
```
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Default"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
Option "XkbVariant" "oss"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rctrl"
EndSection
```
42. `adduser -g lucidiot lucidiot`
43. `visudo` to allow `lucidiot`
44. `rc-service dbus start`
45. `rc-update add dbus`
46. `rc-service lightdm start`
47. Once everything works, `rc-update add lightdm`
48. `rc-service fuse start`
49. `rc-update add fuse`
