I watched this documentary on October 19, 2024, but I’ve been putting off writing this article until now. Vitalik lives a digital nomad lifestyle, and his presence can be felt all around the world. Note: The following sections are arranged based on my notes taken while watching the documentary. That’s why Vitalik’s early life isn’t the first heading, as it follows my viewing experience rather than a chronological order. Vitalik’s Background Vitalik’s journey into cryptocurrency began in high school when he first encountered Bitcoin....

I’m going to stop blogging on IPFS. Most reasons are described in a blog post written by Neiman. In the last few months, the status of my blog has flipped between up and down and I have had to manually fix it, even when my IPFS node is running: The service shown in the screenshot is Gatus. I might try Permasite of Arweave ecosystem in the future, but for now, I will stay on GitHub Pages....

As a back-end engineer, centering a div is more difficult than finding a race condition in the back-end server, though race conditions are challenging even for back-end engineers....

Background I have a side project called “comics.” It’s a simple HTTP server that serves comics so I can access them anywhere. According to the Chrome documentation, to make images lazy-loaded, the server needs to run an initial scan and retrieve the dimensions of images when it starts. However, its performance is poor on my NAS, which uses HDD drives. Initially, I used the image-rs library, which I found widely recommended online....

I bought a Nintendo Switch in 2017. On September 28, 2019, I purchased a game called “Dead Cells” in the North America region because, at that time, customers could only buy digital copies of games via the Nintendo eShop in either Japan or North America.

The last post I published on my blog was in 2019, so it has been a while. A random idea struck me that I should resume my blog in 2024. Here are my considerations: Choosing a Long-Standing Static Website Generator I choose Hugo.
