-Here are my **personal** coding standards for some languages.
-
-## Interpreted languages
-#### Never put the file extension to the source file instead use a shebang.
-`` 
-    #!/bin/sh
-    #!/bin/python3
-    #!/bin/perl
-``
-
-## Posix shell
-#### Always wrap variables with `"${}"` to prevent globbing.
-`` 
-    echo "${var}"
-    echo "${1}"
-    echo "${@}"
-``
-
-## Makefiles
-#### If Makefile is fully posix complient and doesn't have anything extra add 
-`.POSIX:` to the beginning of the file
-
-## C 
-#### Use K&R style `if`s
-``
-    if (condition) {
-        do this;
-        do that;
-        do another;

-<!-- Title: Why I prefer Gentoo -->
-
-### Why I prefer Gentoo over Arch.
-A lot of people say very good things about gentoo linux, it is very well maintained,
-It is more secure, It is lightweight and so on. But when it comes down to it,
-very few people actually use gentoo, I think that is because they install it 
-and after a month or so they really get sick of waiting for the packages to compile 
-and they switch back to whatever they were using before. I know it because,
-I had done that in the past, I dual-booted my machine with gentoo and arch linux
-intending to only use gentoo, and arch only when I didn't have the time to wait
-for the package to compile, but ended up only booting to arch and almost never 
-to gentoo, at that time if you were to ask me the best package manager 
-I would have unhesitatingly said arch's pacman, while I still think that pacman is the best 
-**binary** package manager
-for the past few months I have started to really like gentoo and its package manager
-portage and there are different reasons for that.   
-
-### Compiling programs makes more sense than downloading binaries.
-On unix-like operating systems you generally use 
-open-source software and that software is made to be compiled by the users specific 
-to their machines, but on binary based distros you use programs that are compiled for
-you by someone else and again to me, personally, compiling just makes more sense.
-
-### It gives you more perspective to the program you use.
-If you'd downloaded a binary package you would only be able to tell if a program is fast, 
-has enough features and so on, but you wouldn't have known how much time it takes 
-to compile, what the build dependencies are, and even sometimes the
-programming language that it is written in. I do agree that knowing those abstract details 
-of a package is utterly useless for a typical end-user who is not a programmer
-but for a programmer those details are very important, since you get to know what build systems are
-faster what programming language compiles faster, builds better and sometimes you 
-get to learn some stuff that you didn't even know existed. You can build programs from source in other distros
-as well but gentoo makes it easier and forces you to do that
-and be honest, If you could install binary package in 10 seconds
-you wouldn't even bother waiting for it to compile for 20 minutes.
-
-### You install less packages.
-In order to avoid compilation you tent to install less pieces of software
-resulting in more stable and more performant system. God forbid you if
-you are using arch linux and have access to the AUR 
-(I had installed more than 2000 useless packages on my arch system). 
-
-### It is more secure, lightweight and faster (at least in theory).
-I have not noticed any significant difference in terms of performance 
-between gentoo and binary based distros and I kind of think that security 
-on client OSes is overrated, but for some few people these might be important 
-since you literally can skip some useless parts of a program (useless for you of course)
-resulting in less bloated, therefore faster and more secure programs, but again I 
-don't really find it that important.
-
-### **No systemd**!
-I am not against systemd but I prefer to not use it.
-On gentoo the default init system is openrc and it works 
-with no problem.
-
-### Bad parts.
-Like everything, it has some negative stuff about it as well,
-those are
-
-- Compilation can take some time.
-- Gentoo is the one of **the hardest** distro to manage.  
-
-I am saying both of those with an asterisk, because 
-although I agree that there are some big pieces of software that you basically have to have 
-like a browser, (it took 6h to compile a browser on my machine) but most of the time
-if software takes too much time to compile that indicates that it is 
-overcomplicated and you shouldn't even be using it.  
-Gentoo is hard to use but, that also means gentoo forces to know more, making you better at 
-system administration.
-
-So, that is all.

-<!-- Title: No smartphone!-->
-
-### Why I absolutely hate smartphones.
-
-For the past few years, the question that I have been asked the most
-is that "why don't you use a smartphone", but I've never really 
-answered any of those questions, even though, 
-I do have different reasons not to use one.
-
-The main point is that if you ever use any sort of properly
-designed "normal" operating systems and hardware you can't really 
-go back and use garbage computer operating systems or phones
-without getting disgusted. 
-With smartphones, it is even worse than toy-like computer OSes like windows
-or mac, because with those systems you at least get some sort of 
-proper hardware components like a keyboard, 
-a monitor with "normal" screen ratio and so on.
-But with phones, not only you get an operating system that is no better than 
-trash, but also some very cringe way to interact with the hardware. 
-(Yes, I am talking about sensor screens.)
-
-Now, let's talk about why
-
-- Operating systems
-- Package Management
-- User space applications
-- Hardware
-- Privacy and Security
-Absolutely suck on "smart" phones.
-
-### Operating Systems
-There are 2 main OSes for phones: iOS and Android, there are also some not widely used ones 
-like legacy Windows Phone and even some open-source ones, though here, I shall only talk about the
-first 2 that I have mentioned, but that should also be somewhat relevant 
-to almost all the other phone OSes as well.
-
-**Android Sucks**! because, you can't even perform the most basic
-computer functionalities 
-like compiling very simple software, writing scripts, and so on, you don't even have
-the root access to the phone you "own", but the company that sold you that has full 
-access to the phone over the internet, that is basically like slavery with extra steps, lol.
-Some people might say "Well, that is not a computer
-you are not supposed to compile programs and write scripts!" I don't buy that argument
-because, in reality, computers and phones are indeed the same thing, the way that they
-function is the same, the way they connect with other computers is the same,
-they use the same technologies to function (in fact, Android uses the Linux kernel).
-The difference between properly written computer OSes and android is that 
-computer OSes care about the users while phones are trying to keep you under control.
-It is also worth mentioning that I am not talking about the pure open source Android
-project, I am talking about Android, on which companies put a load of garbage to make 
-it more "beneficial" for the company.  
-
-With iPhones, it's the same thing except it is even worse, 
-it should be obvious why, apple! the single worst company 
-that has ever existed, Apple is trying so hard to keep you 
-inside of its garbage-like "ecosystem" by making it very hard 
-and even sometimes impossible to connect with hardware/software
-other than Apple's, and all these ***morons*** will be like 
-> "BuT, DuuuuuDe, APpLE DeVIces WeRk WItH oTher AppLE DeViCes sO SMoOthLy" 
-Yeah, by making it impossible to work with basically everything else
-and you have to have apple garbage all around you.
-
-### Package Management
-Android and iOS do have some sort of package management,
-on Android, it's Play store (But you can also install packages using .apk format)
-on iOS, you have app store.  
-Google owns Play Store, and you have to have a google account to be able to use 
-Play Store (which on Android you basically also have to), on iOS, Apple owns
-app store.   
-That might not seem like a huge deal, but it is. It basically means Google and Apple
-have all the control of the programs uploaded to Play Store and app store respectively,
-meaning that Google and Apple can block and even change the source code of some programs,
-inject absolutely anything inside them.  
-Those companies need profit no matter what, meaning they would do anything to 
-get profit, even unethical stuff, and you are the one who let them do that to you.
-
-### User Space applications
-By user space applications, I mean just the programs that people
-install on smartphones. Frankly speaking, those programs are
-just for normies who don't understand 
-technology and advances users are completely ignored. Phone programs
-are graphical, thus they use more ram and cpu and most of the time they are
-full of advertisements (Xiaomi Phones even have ads in the system's gallery).
-They are not privacy-respecting, bloated, and kind of useless. 
-There is one program, however, that is worth talking about separately, and that is 
-"WhatsApp". It is the most widely used messaging application, though it has absolutely
-nothing extraordinary and some stuff that is even worse than an average messaging program.
-Here are some bad stuff about it:
-
-- WhatsApp is not private, **at all**!
-- You have to have a smartphone and a phone number.
-
-Imagine a piece of software requires you to have a phone to be able to use it,
-that is basically like saying that a $400  device is a dependency of that program,
-this is absolutely *nuts*. I find it quite absurd
-that people don't find it absurd. 
-> If a program as simple as a messaging app requires you to have
-> a cell phone, you shouldn't even be using that,
-> no matter how many people around you use it!
-
-### Hardware
-Hardware of cellphones absolutely suck they are designed to be broken so easily you can
-break them by accident, that is, of course, 
-to sell more of them, they are nothing like old classic solid Nokia phones 
-with buttons and stuff, instead you have only a screen and you touch on it 
-which is very very cringe.  
-I just want buttons to press, not touchscreens to touch.  
-Another thing is that you can't upgrade your RAM or your storage and you're supposed to use overpriced
-services like iCloud or Google Drive.
-
-### Privacy and security
-Privacy just doesn't exist on smartphones; that is just a matter of fact.
-If you use an iPhone, all your photos are sent to Apple servers and can be hacked 
-(though not quite probable) since, they are not stored only on your local system
-which makes it less secure as well,
-On Android, people use Google Photos, which is basically as bad as iPhones.
-
-### Health
-Phones are also bad for your health, I can't
-tell you the specifics since I am not a doctor.
-But it is common knowledge that phones are bad for you.
-
-### Good stuff about phones
-The only good thing about a phone is its camera. 
-though many people take too many useless pictures
-resulting in a mess of data. Nonetheless, cameras are very useful
-but it is not worth it to use a smartphone just because of that.
-
-### Summing it up
-Smartphones are useless pieces of garbage that are overpriced, not privacy respecting and 
-meant for normies who don't understand how technology
-works, or at least how it should work, ***no offense***.
-Even if you must use a smartphone, that doesn't change the fact that they are 
-bad for you.

-<!-- Title: Reasons not to host an email server -->
-
-### Reasons to not host your own email server.
-
-Last summer, I had successfully managed to host my email server but 
-a couple of days ago I completely removed everything from my server
-and purchased an email hosting service.
-
-I'd like to share my experience with hosting an email server
-and what makes the process an absolute nightmare.
-
-#### - It's hard to find an affordable VPS provider that doesn't block port 25. 
-
-If you don't know anything about email, you need the port 25 to be open to send mails but 
-most server providers block it to reduce spam and the ones that don't costs more than
-the usual ones.
-
-#### - Getting a domain and IP that is not blacklisted.
-
-If you have already bought a domain it might be blacklisted meaning that 
-all the mails you'll send is going to go right into the spam folder of the receiver.
-It's the same for IP but chaining it is a lot easier than getting a new domain on most 
-server providers.
-
-#### - Not enough documentation is available and some is outdated.
-
-There isn't that much documentation for setting up an email server, I think that is
-partially because of the process being so tough that no one really wants to document it 
-and there are so many commands involved in the process
-even just a small update on one program can make the documentation outdated.
-
-#### - It's very hard to set up.
-Configuring an email server was perhaps the hardest thing that I'd ever done 
-(even after finding the proper documentation), I spent weeks on that.
-
-#### - Almost certainly, your mails won't be delivered.
-
-Even after going through the very difficult process of finding the correct server provider, 
-documentation and setting everything up (DKIM, SPF etc.) you'll still end up in spams,
-you might be able to pass spam filters of some email services, but you'll never feel 
-confident of sending mails because big email services sometimes update their spam filters
-and you got to keep up with those as well, so it doesn't just end there when you set it up.
-
-#### Summing it up
-
-I'd gladly host an email server, but I just can't make it work half as good as the paid 
-email service providers. In the future I might try to do it again 
-(though I don't think the results will be different) but now I'll stick to email services.

-<!-- Title: Software -->
-
-Here are some of the programs I use, recommend and some I dislike.
-You can get my configuration for most of these programs [here](https://git.farajli.net/slcf.git).
-
-### Criteria
-For software to be usable for me it has to be:
-1. Free and Open-source
-1. Uncomplicated, simple to use
-1. Lightweight
-1. Fast
-
-### Operating systems
-* [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org): The best linux distro for most people, since installing packages is very convenient using the AUR and has a great wiki.
-* [Gentoo](https://gentoo.org): Unique operating system with a proper wiki, see my [post](../posts/gentoo.html) about it.
-* [Void](https://voidlinux.org): Great linux distros free from filthy systemd and glibc.
-* [Debian](https://www.debian.org/): Easy to install and use, the best distro for beginners.
-* [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/): Simple operating system with a clean and elegant codebase.
-* <a href="https://ubuntu.com" class=orange_text>Ubuntu</a>: Debian done wrong with snaps.
-* <a href="https://manjaro.org" class=orange_text>Manjaro</a>: Same as ubuntu except even worse doesn't even work properly.
-* <span class=orange_text>MacOS</span>: BSD done wrong, with apple garbage.
-* <span class=orange_text>Windows</span>: Graphical trash.
-
-### Programming languages
-* C: Portable assembly, basically the default programming language for unix.
-* Go: Modern version of C, very convenient and safe to write programs in.
-* Posix Shell: Concise and convenient for scripts and small programs.
-* <strong class=orange_text>C++</strong>: Bloated, not safe and a mess, literally every bad piece of software I've ever used was written in C++.
-
-### Window managers
-* [DWM](https://dwm.suckless.org): At first a little hard to configure but at the end totally worth it.
-* [BSPWM](https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm): Best static window manager, easy to configure with and an extraordinary tool called bspc.
-* [i3wm](https://i3wm.org/): An average window manager, good for beginners.
-
-### Text editors
-* vim and [nvim](https://neovim.io/): Just way too convenient to be real.
-* <span class=orange_text>JetBrains IDEs</span>: Bloated, heavy, overcomplicated and costs money(?).
-
-### Browser
-* [Qutebrowser](https://www.qutebrowser.org/): Has vim-keybinds making it very convenient to use.
-* [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/): Sometimes, you need a bloated browser to view bloated sites.
-
-### Terminal and terminal Utilities
-* [st](https://st.suckless.org/): Terminal emulator though a little hard to configure.
-* [alacritty](https://alacritty.org/): Terminal emulator which works perfectly fine without any configuration.
-* [cmus](https://cmus.github.io/): Music player.
-* [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/): Interactive shell.
-* [dash](http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/dash/): Shell script interpreter.
-* [lf](https://github.com/gokcehan/lf): File manager.
-* [translate-shell](https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell): Cli translator.
-
-### Xorg utilities
-* [dmenu](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/): Interactive menu to select items.
-* [slstatus](https://tools.suckless.org/slstatus/): Status monitor.
-* [mpv](https://mpv.io/): Media player.
-* [nsxiv](https://nsxiv.codeberg.page/): Image viewer.
-* [zathura](https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/): pdf viewer.
-
-### Other
-* [pandoc](https://pandoc.org): Document converter.
-* [git](https://git-scm.com/): Version control system.
-
-### About hardware
-I don't really care about hardware because it is easily replacable and I am fine with whatever just works,
-as long as it not overpriced. If you use proper software any hardware should get the job done.
-
-I am not going to shill thinkpads like everyone else, though I think they are fine, to me only 2 things
-set apart thinkpads from all the other laptops, firstly, the fact that they are librebootable and, secondly,
-they are really cheap.

-
-### I have a website!
-
-As of June 13th 2024, the best website on the internet has officially been created.
-
-This site is not made by using one of those fancy and bloated site generators
-or any garbage like that, it was created, quite surprisingly, by writing HTML and
-CSS, as it is supposed to be, though it is a little inefficient, error-prone
-and a pain writing HTML and adding boilerplate code to each file,
-thus it's quite probable that I shall write a small program to do that automatically
-for me in the future, but that program won't be the same as bloated site generators,
-in fact, it'd basically be the same as manual way of writing HTML.
-Here are some of the advantages of my website compared to a lot of contemporary ones.
-
-- Doesn't fill your entire ram.
-- Doesn't have ads, tracker or unnecessary JavaScript.
-- Loads **Fast**!
-
-As of now, there isn't that much of content here, but I will probably add a lot more.
