Hello, World!
I am orangerot. I am a computer science student living in
C:\Milkyway\Earth\Europe\Germany (yes we live in a simulation run on M$
WinShit, get over it. How else did you think this reality got so messed up? Well
SysAdm has still hope the simulation stabilises, lets pray for the best before
it's shut down). I am a open source and free software enthusiast, care about
privacy and repairable technology.
Here I rant about technology and show of my projects. I always have a long list
of ideas but too little time (and I am bad with time management).
You can find my projects on
- https://source.orangerot.dev
- https://github.com/Geronymos
- https://gitlab.com/Orangerot
Other publications you can find in

About me: my name is orangerot. Like a sunset and sunrise on a brick wall - the
start and end of a productive night. Like the last spark of life of a dying
fluorescent neon tube. Maybe like an amber monitor, though I ain't old enough to
have ever interacted with one.
For now you can contact me on https://matrix.to/#/@orangerot:matrix.org
Or IRL if you are nice enough. /aluhut.html
Personal Information /ich_iel
================================================================================
I like cyberpunk, synth wave (dark wave), city pop, vaporwave.
My motto:
> A deadline is the best motivation.
> Boredom is the second best motivation.
================================================================================
TODO List (projects to talk about but never actually start)
[X] Custom Keyboard
Done! See https://source.orangerot.dev/orangerot/geeboard
~(an inside joke at this point; already talking about it for years) 40%
~ortholinear keyboard with thumbstick, whatever all of that means haha I
~already have all the components but I shy away from creating the pcb in
~kicad. Ahh this weekend I'm gonna have a look at it. Huh!? Did I watch memes
~this long? Well next weekend it is! In the future people will use my
~keyboard that has a sbc computer intergrated in it together with HUD glasses
~to have a super portable and productive set-up that be taken anywhere
~without a pulky backpack. A setup that you can take everywhere without
~thinking about it and can spontaniously decide to be proctive (or be lazy
~and watch anime) anywhere. let me dream yeah
[ ] PUBG for Linux. I rly miss playing this game but I sure won't crawl back to
windows just for it. Maybe I just haven't found the alternative on steam
yet. There are some open source shooters (SAUERBRATEN, Xonotic) which arent
battle royal nor have realistic weapons. The only game that is close might
be UEBERGAME. It looks playable but a bit rough around the edges.
Unfortunately the development seems to have stalled and the repo was
deleted. I have found some forks from the time it got deleted. Maybe someone
could pick up where it was left of. ~Or write a new game in Godot to also be
abandoned within a year. Maybe an idea for my next gamejam.
TTT for SAUERBRATEN
[ ] Animation Package for Typst. Like Manim but with Typst instead of LaTeX and
as part of Typst to be rendered as png.
[ ] Open Animal Crossing / TuxCrossing
Take the characters from SuperTuxKart and put em in a village. Put some
trees in there, add cute dialoge and of course the little planet geometry
shader. Already done a test with geometry shaders in raylib. But could also
be written in Irrlicht like SuperTuxKart is, or Godot. Would need many
assets as it mostly is a collection game. Day/Night circle + seasons in real
time from real world time. Maybe port back to Nintendo DS / Smartphone / ...
[ ] Roast Me[ssenger] - the next bad matrix client
all matrix clients are bad. no client support multiple accounts well. lets
make the next bad client https://xkcd.com/927/. Im thinking
of a treeview: 0th level is accounts, 1st level is spaces, dms, rooms with
the rooms being the leaves. for technology im thinking rust sdk + egui
(looks like a dev inspector which is cool; is portable). could be extended
to be a multi messenger. pidgin, telepathy. Having Matrix as a Telepathy
service might be interesting. Though I never used Telepathy. But multi
messengers are interesting. But all have their own plugins and they all die.
Telepathy is more moduler. Messenging services and frontends interact over
dbus. So you can have different frontends.
[ ] Minetest Portal Mod
[ ] Custom PC Case
Super portable pc case for LAN-Parties (when the keyboard isn't enough).
I also already have all the hardware (ITX Mainboard, Half-Length GPU, Small
Fan). But it also already have a small case that is portable enough. So it
isnt that important.
[ ] open Razr / Blackberry
The motorola Razr and Blackberry phones are iconic but it seems not much
effort has been taken to write alternative roms for them. Would be nice to
have a classic phone that could run modern messaging apps. Mobile data might
be tricky. Portable keyboard phone with linux would also be interesting.
Though there is Beepberry that uses a Blackberry keyboard with a raspberry
pi.
[ ] NGINX Gemini Module (serve a gemni capsule and proxy (from) and to http)
Gemini is a protocol I want to play with, but haven't found a good start yet.
Maybe if I implement my own server I can start enjoying this minimalist
protocol. And maybe it would then the protocol would get more attention if it
is integrated into NGINX.
[X] Stickers!!! With many colors and shapes! I said to myself that I dont want
to be a designer. But putting memes on vinyl and covering/personalising my
laptops is fun and addicting. Maybe try it yourself and upload some images to
your sticker manufacturer. It's a fun gift to give to your friends or when
meeting new people. Have a look at my collection /archive/sticker
*Implementation is left as an exercise for the reader.
