Tried idea with declarative routes a bit more but I realized that it’d only work with ETag disabled in a lot of cases, and it wouldn’t work with if methods are patched, which you can’t really check, so unfortunately it looks like this feature can’t be done. 😔

Brother came over and we started going to the gym, but first went to buy shoes. Saw a cool liminal room:

Today we only went to pool, as we had a free training from a trainer. This was more intense than I expected, and after a hour of training we were quite tired, and decided to go somewhere to eat. There was some place near gym that we were a bit interested in, but we kept being undecideful whether we wanted to go there or not, until we finally decided that we want, but when we went inside it was apparently full. Weirldy that place was serving kinda specific food, and at the same time it was big, so we were surprised that it was actually full.

Went to some other random place instead and got steaks and other stuff:

My brother is always unlucky with what he orders, for some reason his orders are almost always less tasty than mine. We got 2 different steak types and my steak was significantly better.

We were traveling through the USA when we stopped at a strange, deserted gas station. It had a weird minigame: after paying for gas, you earned a «gift point» and could throw a disk at a cassette stand. Whatever cassette you hit, you could take with yourself. The person working there warned us only to play if we had gift points.

After I paid for gas, I gave it a try and ended up with some unremarkable cassette I didn’t pay much attention to. Then, for some reason, my friend decided to throw a disk too, even though he hadn’t bought any gas.

As he threw it, I noticed that the spot he was aiming for held these strange, empty-gray cassettes. I yelled for him to stop, but it was too late. As the disk sailed toward the stand and my friend realized something was wrong, he closed his eyes, trying to not see what he had hit.

The moment the disk struck one of the gray cassettes, he was violently pulled toward the stand with a huge force. In the impact, it seemed like he glimpsed what cassette he had gotten, but before I could reach him, he simply vanished — gone without a trace.

I was hit with a sudden wave of anxiety — and then I woke up. I was not able to sleep for a while after, despite only sleeping for 3 hours.

It’s really weird because before this, it was a pretty long and uneventful dream and I had been travelling with him for a while in it.

Law got accepted!!! Now just needs to be signed by president!

Haven’t really done anything productive today. Went to gym and finally went to pool for the first time. When going to gym I realized that my intercostal neuralgia is almost definitely caused by physical activity / muscle growth in chest. I was suspecting this years ago, and now when I didn’t have any pain for months and suddenly having it exactly when started going to gym just proves it. I told this my brother any finally I signed up to get medical check-up at hospital.

Got really tired after gym and pool. Read SCP-8980, and just… wow. This is the most fucked up thing I’ve read in SCP so far. And I’ve never even seen content warnings in SCP before, it was this bad. But the story and writing itself is amazing.

Didn’t do anything in the first half of the day. Went to gym today, and got to took a better look at the fields:

I really like it when dense city suddenly turns into fields without any suburbs.

We got too tired after gym to go to the pool…

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Went home and fell asleep until 1:30 AM. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Body still hurts! Did I train this well? I thought I was slacking off.

Dad called me today and asked me if I want to visit them and I agreed. It’s been more than a month since my last time.

He picked me up and on the way we went to supermarket and bought tasty treats. █████████████████████████████████

███████████████████████████████████████████████████ I’ve had some really nice chats with dad. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Dad keeps working, even though he’s kinda suffering from some health issues. We want him to go get checked but he wants to finish some work before doing it, and he’ll need to leave home for about 10 days for it, and after that hopefully he’ll be able to do it.

Fixed some bugs in uExpress and uWS and posted about uWS publicly. Switched Nekoweb to use uWS and all of my other sites and services. YeahServer was on average using 4% CPU and it went down to 1.5% after switch to uExpress, and that’s actually super cool.

Played Yume 2kki, we went through a pretty long expedition, which required a pretty clever 'hack’. The path required Drum to pass, but at the same time required you to not have it. Apparently if you make Drum your Favorite effect, you can equip it even after you remove it in trophy room. This allowed us to pass and get to the destination - Floating Brain World. It has another puzzle that requires some weird shenanigans, and that would unlock way to apparently the deepest world of Yume 2kki. But we stopped here as it’d require quite a lot of time and we got tired already.

We finally went to gym, for real this time!

Before going inside, I looked around the parking lot and realized that gym is at the edge of the city. Dense city simply ends and suddenly it’s just endless fields… Which I find so dear and which keep calling me to come to them.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

But I had to resist and we had to finally get inside. We got a free training with personal trainer for the first visit, so he showed us around and told us about some gym things and showed us how to use them. In general, I wanted to go to gym simply because I’m very sedantary and not super fit. I’m not really interested in big muscles and stuff, I just want to start moving more and burn some belly fat.

After doing some muscle training with trainer, we went on a treadmill. When you hold onto it’s iron things, it measures your heartbeat and it was already 130bpm for me, while 90bpm for my brother, which made me quite worried. During most intense running it went up to 170bpm, even though I wasn’t even running 🫣

I googled what’s a good heart rate during running and it said that 170 bpm is already upper limit and that’s usually during running. I think this just indicates how terribly sedantary I am if not even running made my heart rate so high, which is actually scary. Hopefully it’ll improve over time.

After we were done with gym I got another look at the fields and the road going out from city started glowing beautifully.

Brother started driving me home but proposed to maybe go somewhere to eat, but he needed to pick up his girlfriend. He persuaded me to have a dinner with them. It was a tiny bit awkward, since it’s the largest amount of time I ever spent with her around. But the food was nice. We ordered a pizza for everyone (and it was one of the best, or maybe the best pizza I ever had), I got tom yang, they got carbonara and bolognese.

After that I got driven home, and coded a ton of UltimateWS. It’s actually like 65% done now.

It was sunny but at the same cold today. I had my first university online class today, but it was quite chill. After class I decided to finally socialize and went to some student event thingy. As I came there I got a color that split me into one of three teams. We played a bunch of team games, and I left a little early because brother came to pick me to go to gym. In general, it was mid… Idk, it’s not like I had a terrible time there, but at same time I felt like I’m just wasting my time playing kinda stupid games instead of being productive, and so many people around was tiring.

When my brother came to pick me up, quite late (at 8 PM), I told him that I was kinda confused because he said we wouldn’t go to gym but apparently he mistype and wanted to only say that about pool. But regardless, since he came he drove there. And then I realized I don’t have a bracelet that allows to go through… And coming back home to get it would take too long for it to worth to go there again. This is like third time we weren’t able to go there somehow. Hopefully next time will be finally successful lol. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Felt quite disappointing.

Went outside to withdraw money. Stood outside for a while to enjoy the rain, and met tailless cat again. Might be a good sign.

I figured out how to optimize IPs! Now I only read IP when it’s required and if any request ever reads it after response was sent I start reading it always. This way only 1 request at most would be lost. To minimize that from happening I also made it always read IP for first 100 requests.

Before:

After:

Now the difference is really small, HyperExpress is genuinely basically useless now, lol.

Brother came over and we finally decided to go to gym… but it was crowded and shitty again… so we decided to go to more expensive gym afterall, because we both got another discount, but as we came there again it was again kinda scam shit with tiny text saying it cant be used for what we wanted lol. But we still had previous discount and we decided to go with this one after all… It’s just like 10 times better and also had a pool. They took so long at registering us that it was already too late to go actually do anything so we ate and went home. I hope it won’t be a waste of money.

At the end of the day found another optimization opportunity of not creating Socket needlessly, which added another +5k.

Started coding UltimateWS today. I was wondering if I should first finish UltimateWS before publicly publishing UltimateExpress, but I’ve decided that it’d be kinda weird to make 2 announcements at once, so today I actually published Ultimate Express. Honestly, I expected more reaction and interest. While I did get about 50 stars, I don’t think it’s a very good result and I feel a bit disappointed about it. Hopefully it’ll grow more eventually.

It’s been a nice rainy day, all day. I’ve been enjoying rain sounds for a while, and decided to go outside and feel rain on myself. I got winter clothes and went outside, and stood in the rain for a while. I love the feeling of being protected from rain by clothes. If I had a comfortable spot, I would probably just sit down and spend hours just sitting under rain, while hiding in my clothes fully. Clothes that fully cover me and allow me to get inside them are so cozy…

Making Nekoweb use uExpress revealed a bunch of bugs, so I spent the morning fixing the reported stuff while I was asleep.

Today we went to buy sport clothes with brother. Bought 2 t-shirts, shorts and shoes.

In 1 of the shops there was this escalator, and it’s the steepest and fastest escalator I’ve ever been on in my life. I genuinely almost fell while using it, it’s actually dangerous!

After buying clothes we went to sushi place.

Had a nice talk and then went home. When I came home I’ve noticed that energy drinks were back, looks like roommate actually bought them back, so that’s nice.

Continued coding uExpress at home. Fixed more bugs, tried async etag generation (fail), finalized some stuff. Looks like it’s truly done now, I don’t know what else there could be to add. Apart from WebSocket upgrade support, but that’ll need a separate library. Maybe I’ll start writing it tomorrow.

During night read some mangas (rare!) and added some more security stuff to Nekoweb.

Started coding commission today, and did about half of the work. Finally aligned my monitors! They always were unaligned, left one being much lower. Maybe this will help with neck pain. After coding got tired and my stomach started to hurt, so I went to bed and napped for a hour. My brother called me saying he’ll come and we’ll check out gyms in the city.

We went to the cheaper gym first, which was fine, but kinda small and crowded. After that we went to much, much larger and premium gym and it was super cool, and also had a pool too. After that we went to a cafe nearby to talk and decide where to go.

We’ve decided to go to the more expensive gym because of the discount, but when we came to ask about it, she said the price was already with discount. But the thing is, discount was given by some lottery wheel thingy on their site, and she couldn’t really know that we got it. So she either lied or the thing on site was just fake. We got very disappointed and the price without discount felt too much so we left. Very scammy practice.

After I came home I continued to code commission and finished it!

Played more Yume 2kki today. For the most part, pretty fruitless exploration today. As we were getting ready to leave, I got Mirror Room event and got into place with view on Twin Peaks.

Unexpectedly, there was a person there. Usually when I meet people in Yume 2kki they are either AFK or just silent, but they actually talked first. We had a small little chat and they proposed to walk me to the Rainy Apartments, which I heard of before but never been to. After some hesistatation I agreed, and our long, long journey begun. I already was pretty sleepy by this point, but it was one of the most beautiful paths I’ve seen in this game.

After meeting Hatsune Miku in Virtual City, we finally got to Rainy Apartments. No wonder they’re such a popular location, they’re definitely on level of Sewers and Secret Society. I love rainy places so much…

It was the end of our journey for today. It’s so weird to think that if random event didn’t happen, I wouldn’t meet this person and wouldn’t ever get guided to see this place. I’m so glad that it happened.

It’s unbearable to use computer at day — the sun shines too brightly. I often just spend the time in my bed waiting for it to go away.

Decided to meet brother today, and we went outside to eat and walk around.

Pretty cozy place, I really like the brick wall and lamps on the tree. We both ordered ramen:

After talking and eating food we went to shop and I bought cat socks and some cosmetics.

Another cool brick wall. I’m a big fan of these.

Maybe I’ll start going to gym soon. I have a very sedantary way of life, and I can feel my body feeling tired and bad constantly. I also want to get full medical checkup. While talking about that with brother, he told that we should probably make our dad also get one. Brother came home and talked with dad about it and he surprisingly agreed, so I guess we’ll arrange that soon.

Apparently today there was a foodfest in the city, so I’ve decided to go and check it out. There was a big line for place where you buy tickets, so I decided to buy a ticket online. After doing it, I realized I need a paper thingy to pass, so I went in line anyway… But then after standing the entire time in line, apparently I could’ve just walked in as people with online tickets pass without immediately. Amazing.

There was quite a lot of different food there, it was quite hard to decide what to buy.

I found bubble tea stand, and bought it to try for the first time ever:

Then I got this:

Everything was nice, but I didn’t like shrimp that much because I didn’t really know how to properly clean it.

I walked around some more and listened to the music. Bought corn and some meat.

Then bought and tried churros for the first time too:

And then decided to leave. I had mixed thoughts about going there, in general it was fine, but I was alone and I don’t like crowd and loud places thaaat much, so I didn’t really enjoy it. But I got to try some cool stuff for the first time, so it was definitely worth it.

Added uploading videos and audios, gallery view for photos (that you can see in this entry).

I don’t like when I have multiple things to do at once, but none of them are urgent. At first half of the day I just rotted in bed, because I couldn’t decide if I want to switch Nekoweb to new server or if to start doing the VPN. I was thinking of monitoring this server for a bit before switching Nekoweb, which is why I’m a little hesistant to do it right now.

Brother came over, so we talked and went outside to walk around. As we went through the park, we found scooter that you can rent, and my brother decided that it’d be fun to try it out for the first time ever. But for some reason scooter went really slowly, so we quickly abandoned it. As he stopped, app showed that we were apparently in «forbidden zone» and he got a fine for leaving scooter in it. It’s also why scooter was slow. That’s actually dumb as fuck. We didn’t even know we are in it, and when we stopped, we couldn’t go back to move it from there to remove the fine. No wonder everyone hates these apps.

We bought a slushie, and for the first time ever in my life I got what people call "brain freeze", which actually made me scared for a bit, but it went away quickly. For some reason my brother was not affected and never got it.

When we went back there was police and ambulance for drunk person.

No idea what that was about.

Added maintenance mode to Nekoweb. I think I’ll start the move to new server tomorrow.

Played more Yume 2kki. We went through a pretty difficult place to reach a beautiful scenery.

By going to the left you reach Secret Society. A piano plays… It sounds a bit tragic — people in the building seem to all work on something, and it feels like the world is ending and they’re trying to save it.

I really enjoy places that actually seem to have thought and story in them, and this one really feels like it. It reminded me of OneShot in a way…

Between Secret Society and house place there’s this liminal room, which I really like.

Yume 2kki is full of worlds that just have a bunch random garbage sprayed around and you just have to walk though copypasted images until you’re lucky enough to find something (or more often just look up the map). I really dislike that. I haven’t been in that many worlds so far, but even now it’s easy to see what worlds had actually big effort and thought put into them and what weren’t.

Unfortunately vast majority are the bad kind.

Had a very long dream that I was in Yume 2kki, which was very, very cool. I always wanted to be inside such dreamy locations. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Went outside to withdraw money for rent. Got carbonara for breakfast.

Rested in the park.

I thought that anime shop has closed forever, but nope! I was just always unlucky with timing. I bought some cool things:

Updated diary to support multiple image uploads and zoom (image viewer) on all images.

Been kinda researching how other VPNs work, seems like they just use WireGuard under the hood. Maybe I should just use that too, since it has clients for every OS.

Played Yume 2kki again at the end of the day. Drank kiwi Ramune, and it actually has quite a mild flavor. I expected it to be super saturated or something, I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or not.

Just like yesterday, it’s extremely hot today. And weather forecast is saying that it’ll be hot literally every single day that’s available (10 days).

I think summer is my least favorite season. I really enjoy nature, but the heat and bugs are so annoying it drags down the whole experience to the bottom.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Roommate asked me to go outside for a hour for some reason, so I went to the park. I’ve noticed that today I have really bad vision for some reason. I have myopia, and it varies a lot. Like between 2 times worse and better. It made it kind of hard to find good places to photo.

I sat on a bench and zoned out for about 30 minutes, listening to the birds playing in the trees.

After that I started walking around, searching for a place to eat.

Cozy, but I decided to not go in there.

Stopped in a more boring place, and ordered Tom Yang Kung, which I really liked last time.

Then I went home.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Finally added an option to see people who’s last tweet is a retweet or a quote tweet in OldTwitter. This should make it easier to filter out boring accounts.
