Am I really going to end up moving away from RISC-V and over to Raspberry Pi after all this effort? I'm starting to consider it.

Today I learned that git commits give away your system's timezone setting.
That seems a little unnecessary. It's also rather obnoxious to override as well when using git through a third-party application. Hrm...

Managing to get responsive web design working on a website feels like such a flex.

Starting to realize that I've already done enough work that I need to start forming write-ups and figuring out how I'm going to disseminate this information.

Awaking from deep slumber yet again.
The website project is on pause while I do some bare-metal freestanding C development on QEMU's virtual "virt" RISC-V board.
No standard library. No basic system functionality. Just me, a device tree, and a hart ID, a UART, and a C compiler. More or less.

I had no interest in blockchain technology back when it was being hyped. As well, my interest in AI isn't non-existent but it is pretty limited in terms of pragmatic applications I'm interested in.
Honestly it makes me feel old.

Just Golang, HTML, CSS, JS, some custom OS / web server / database configs. The only stuff that's third party are the OS (Debian), web server (Nginx), and database (MongoDB). Fairly similar to ye olden days.

The idea that I have an actual, functioning site with login functionality and other dynamic functionality (even if it is very rough around the edges) is wild to me considering I'm using essentially no frameworks. Holy hell.

Trying to design my site in a secure way is maddening.
Currently agonizing over whether two separate atomic transactions should be combined into a single one.

I'm pretty sure I've hit the upper bound for the amount of technical debt I can handle alone. I don't see a less painful way forward without refactoring my code to be less hideous.

Starting to think I'll just use session identifiers, represent permissions via bit-fields, and keep session data in memory as much as possible on the server side instead of using JWT. Should be efficient (I think).

Okay so upon more reading I guess JWT is a bad idea for auth. I guess I'll just track session IDs.
