Progress

Need to automate this block with templates and tw.myaw.

• 2025-04-20: all the history is shit, dropped it and started yet another life

Ideas and todo

• Formatting for PetWay and template engine based on ideas from my past lives.

• Dump page. Automate posting to all kind of dumps i.e. fediverse.

• Feeds reader.

• Stats for these pages. Try out with CGI and JS.

• Run tilde-alike server on a VPS when I establish a steady $5/mo income. I'd put everything into a LXC container, gave access to the Tor network only, gave users subdomains and allowed reverse proxies for nginx.

My path to tilde club

In short,

• https://cheapskateguide.org — this was the starting point. It was in my bookmarks but I don't remember how and when I stumbled across it.
• https://bluedwarf.top
• https://www.pixouls.xyz
• Tadam! I'm here.

Being busy making shit for hire I overlooked this nice community. I was in need for some place to make a website and on March 22, 2025 I landed here. After some hesitation I sent request, and on March 24 they kindly let me in.

I was stunned and did not know what to do with all this hapiness. But gradually I started loading crap on these pages.

Tilde club members/resources I found interesting thus far:

• tilde club gallery: just excellent!
• https://tildeverse.org/: just a reminder for myself that such thing does exist
• tips and tricks: starting point for discovery
• Sitemap by date: looks like a cron job scanning user directories
• Disk Usage Leaderboard: might be good starting point if I ever decide to sniff their socks
• https://tilde.club/~parsec/: will track this gibberish somehow later
• The Holy Bible

• https://treefort.piusbird.space/blog/youareanelfingartist/ Arthouse Coding, do it your way. Yeah.

About

Below is what was my front page. I will edit that when I'll have nothing else to do.

Hello, world!

Yes, this page is nothing more than that. At the moment I'm busy refactoring my PetWay library, a foundation for MYAW parser, yet another YAML killer. I use both in my pet projects, but I'd like to make final tweaks before releasing anythng in public.

Unfortunately, all those tweaks initiate rounds of huge refactoriing. Perfection knows no bounds.

After writing in Python in my past lives I have burned out to such degree that it took a few years to realize its depth. Nevertheless, programming is still my passion, however my challenge is no single line in Python anymore.

In the beginning of 2024 I gave C++ yet another try. The modern standard was promising, but I failed to write code that looked good to me. After six months of hard sexual intercourse with C++ I rewrote my MYAW parser in plain C and was amazed.

Nothing but C since then.

Yes, there's a lot of pain writing in C and the ultimate goal for each C programmer would be writing a higher level language in it. Python is the most successful attempt, but I fancy something better.

https://www.netlib.org/fp/dtoa.c This code deserves a novel. That's beyond my capabilities. In short, BCD is known almost for centuries, x86 has AAA instruction since the beginning, but we still have to convert between base 2 and 10 and I haven't seen any programmer who did not step into rounding shit.
