## writing

- How This Site Works [1]
  The ASCII art shadow hack, pages you can curl, and running it all for
  free.

- I made a thing that haunts me. [2]
  Death comes for us all eventually.

- Seedless Torrents [3]
  An idea I had for about 20 years: generate the file pieces from a seed
  so a torrent needs no peers. Prototyped with AI over several months,
  tried AES-CTR, Feistel networks, Merkle trees and Gray code. It failed
  past 8 bits. The seed was always larger than the data.

- Note Taking Applications [4]
  Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain, and what I actually used:
  Joplin, Nextcloud Notes, MindForger, and Emacs (Doom) with the
  Remembrance Agent.
