Let's Take The Step Together

I am not a type of person whom babbling and yet keep on without doing things. Some of you may know me as a person with a bad mouth. Yeah, sometimes because of my past environment in not so good environment (you may say harsh), making some of my language has explicit content. But, I learnt, as we may talk harsh, we meant none of the harsh thing. Moreover, we may have strong words and letting all words go unfilter just to provoke the person to do the best.

When Kang Onno was interviewed about Gates coming in this nation, yeah yet another ignorance of Indonesian people about the fact that pure open source activist is NOT compatible with M$, he told them that what Gates promise is already can be achieved by free software. There is an alternative, but nobody in general know that.

When I say this nation is suck and I hate this nation of its ignorance, it felt as a part of desperate of me. I, especially, dislike ICT people of Indonesia unwillingly playing their role as a model of Indonesian software user. I know that we have an ability to have Microsoft licensed Windows. I know that $400 is a quite price that we, as an average IT, can have. But, what about the schools? What about all the other average Indonesian? Would you consider them as a part of our responsible?

Of course, I'm not the type of a people whom make critics but done nothing. I believe in free/open source software (FOSS) movement as an answer. It is my decision that I would go to choose to maintain Kambing as my vision. I'm happy that my associates too have the same care about Kambing and that now so many people join the band of FOSS movement. I believe that as a community we could push forward. Don't you think so, Feha? [Kudos for his bold movement to move to Depkominfo and taking a strong role there in FOSS movement, of course with other people as a team.]

As I am the believer of chaos theorem, that a single particle can change the flux move out, I believe you could do the same.

So, what am I talking about?

Would you consider of using GNU/Linux? At least, taking it as a secondary operating system (OS). If many ICT practician would do GNU/Linux way, they can contribute to this nation. I know there is a steep learning curve consider of the way M$ Windoze and GNU/Linux have different paradigm. But, it's a fun thing to do to achieve.

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...
