-Yahallo! I'm Vidhu Kant.
-I'm the premium version of your local dumbass because somehow I have gained the knowledge of altering the beeps and boops
-of a computer and my soul now belongs to Linus Torvalds.
-I sometimes make videos, though I haven't settled down on a theme yet (sadly).
-You can find me on [Odysee](https://sns.mikunonaka.net/odysee) and [YouTube](https://sns.mikunonaka.net/youtube).
+You modified some beeps and boops on your computer, that modified some beeps and boops on my computer
+then it modified some more beeps and boops on your computer and now you're reading this. Isn't that pretty?
 
-## About Me
+## Who am I?
 
-I'm interested in cyber security and shit because it sounds cool;
-I also like functional programming because it sounds cool;
-also I love reading manga because it sounds cool.
+Random dude mesmerised by technology and anime, set out to become "that cool guy on the internet"  
+Coincidentially I'm a CS student but I'm mostly self taught
 
-> *"I may or may not have a carrot in place of a brain."*  
-> --- Vidhu Kant, 2023
+And just in case I go by "Vidhu Kant Sharma" but also by "VidhuKant" (stylized)
 
-I love reading (mostly fiction) and learning new languages. I plan to one day be fluent in like, 5 languages;
-Let's see if I can do that! (spoiler alert: I'm gonna forget about this.)  
-I hope I can one day be as cool as Bocchi from "Bocchi the Rock" and be able to play the guitar.
-But right now, I'm just as introverted as Bocchi from "Bocchi the Rock" without the cute anime girl and the guitar part.

+title: "Linux means freedom of choice... And so does not using it!"
+date: 2024-04-27
+---
+
+I count myself as a Linux enthusiast; I cannot function without telling people that I use Arch btw (/s)
+
+## But why?
+
+There're a bunch of reasons for me to use linux, it's more secure, more private, lightweight...  
+BUT that's not the main reason. I started caring about stuff like this *after* I became familiar with the "Linux Ecosystem".
+The dealbreaker for me was... Freedom of choice!
+
+## Customizability
+
+Customizability means A LOT to me. If something is mine it needs to scream its mine. 
+Call me a narcissist but I brand everything I own with my own tastes! 
+Since I spend a lot of time on my laptop, I want it to look exactly how I want it to look like 
+(doesn't matter if others find it ugly) and I want it to support my workflow, not the other way around.
+
+![My ArchLinux Setup](/images/rice_screenshot-27042024.webp)
+
+Now, linux gives me this freedom of choice to use whatever window manager I want to use,
+whatever status bar I want to use, etc. This kind of thing would be hard to impossible on other 
+proprietary operating systems! Now me using ArchLinux, with the XMonad window manager, and the
+Dvorak keyboard layout doesn't mean these are the best choices. 
+It's what I want to use, it wasn't offered to me, and I had the complete
+freedom to just stick with KDE or something. (btw I love KDE) 
+
+Now I try to encourage people into using Linux. It's not ideal for most people but if someone is
+curious and/or tech savvy enough I always try to get them to use Linux. Obviously, most people
+don't stick with it, but that's fine. Linux gives you the freedom of choice, and using an easy to
+use distro, or not using Linux at all is also a choice!
+
+But what icks me the most is, people refusing to even learn about Linux then hating on it. Same might
+apply to a bunch of other things but not wanting to use Linux is more than fine by me.. But I think if someone
+rejects something without even trying it, it's not a choice anymore. It's just stupidity and stubbornness.

+title: "LPT: Pseudoleaving annoying WhatsApp groups"
+date: 2024-02-28
+---
+
+Group chats are cringe. Especially if you've been involuntarily added to them.
+I have way too many from college which usually get junk messages but I can't really leave them.
+
+Well, it's a valid option to just archive it; but then you have that annoying "Archived" section. It kills the vibe!
+
+## The solution
+
+So I'm gonna teach you guys a pro gamer move, which I call, *pseudoleaving*.
+
+### Step 1
+
+Mute the group chat.
+
+### Step 2
+
+Lock the group chat.
+
+### Profit
+
+It's as simple as that! 
+Unless you often use the chat lock option, you now have the illusion that you've left the group!
