My local area's first ever WordCamp conference happens today at my local campus of 42 the computer science school! I have been interested in attending the WordCamp after hearing about it last year, and last week I managed to win the 42 campus' ticket giveaway, so I am attending the WordCamp.

Uninstalled Visual Studio Code from my computer, since Neovim with Lazyvim setup has met my IDE needs that I previously used VS Code for.

I have set up SSH access to the server of my Hostinger premium shared hosting plan, including generating a pair of SSH keys for this server. This means now I can directly access my websites' folders and files from my local machine's terminal.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility and Eid al-Fitr! 🏳️‍⚧️☪️ I don't actually celebrate Eid because I'm not Muslim, but it's still a major event when you're living in a majorly-Muslim country, and as a queer person I notice the coincidence that TDOV and Eid fell on the same day this year.

Thanks to the monsoon surge in Malaysia, for two days in a row there has been continuous rain in my area, making the temperature cold enough that my household does not need to switch on any air conditioner, and we still feel cold even without air conditioners.
