A Sweet (Bitter) Life [A Christian Article]

This is a usual conversation:
B: Are we alive?
A: Yeah, we do.

B: How would you know that we are alive?
A: Because we are created by God and live by grace.
A: What about you?

B: So, do you feel alive?
B: I'm in a pain.

A: Why?
B: You know, because I played football yesterday and my finger hurts. :P
A: WTF? (*!$(_#@. I thought it was real!
B: LOL. :P

Well, that's because the person is hurt, but no one have ever listen. The person perceive a sense that nobody should be bother with the person's life. So, the person decide to hide it and change the topic to have the usual subject.

The person stays to choose ignoring the fact that the heart is broken. With hope, uneasiness, and delusion that someday will be okay, the person decide to walk forward. Waiting for the day where the person can smile because life embracing the person, making the person to be able to smile again, only at that day it's coming from the deepest part of the person's heart.

As for today, the person can only waiting. Put layers of smile, clinging to the hope of that time will come. Sometimes that smile becoming a smirk when no other people sees.

Are you that person?

How about if I tell you just to let it go and starts smile. God's loving us so much that He Himself comes to this forsaken world. Jesus has the power to do miracle.

Now what is a miracle?

To average person, miracle means when someone comes from the death, a very sick people becomes healed, and business becomes well.

But, did you know that what is actually the miracle of Jesus?

When a splitted family reunite again.
When a broken heart comes new again.
When a stabbed person can accept and forgive the stabber.
When a bad person that no one would be like to be associate with the person, embracing God.

To put it simple, what Jesus' miracle is:

To help a person to make a right decision: choose to have a happy life.

PS: Do you know that we have the right to be happy?

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

Chivalry vs Feminism

Throughout these years I constantly making experiment about how our society perceive about the societal changes. The overhaul of sexist strata and the privilege reformations follow. Note that every change could be perceived as progress or detrimental to the society. The foremost subject that I run is about the opposite of manliness perceived by the oldies vs modern women. The modern era allow women go out from the kitchen into the office. They can have career and enjoy the privilege that men were exclusively had in years. And, can men also do the reverse? Can men also enjoy the privilege of what women do in the past? Can men move from office into the kitchen? And the answer on this era is: NO. While women could reverse their role, men are not allowed to do the same in this society. Society will punish you when a man tries to do that. They will put a healthy man who chose to be at home dad as an irresponsible not-a-man person. If a woman's worth could be rewritten, why not...
