The World IS Spinning

It is the job of military to keep the kingdom safe and it is the job of the a king to lead the people.

War is an issue of deprivation of humanity. But it made progress, it made innovations and sadly it was the thing that moved the world. Many technology frontiers are being advanced by war. With this merit, some capable people would say that war is not a bad thing.

War is the worst thing!

The problem is, how we will be ever there, a place in time where war is a history lesson and viewed as legendary? Nothing has ever accomplished to eradicate it. There will be wars one way or another.

I've seen many peace pursuer giving up the hope to stop war. But I would like to share a theory of mine of how to pursue dreams without ever burning out -- or at least get the fire on again.

Stay Faith In Your Circle

I believe in the words from Bible that suggests us to stay faith in little things before we are entrusted in bigger ones. It offer a basic wisdom in believing an ideal. It gives panacea in walking the dream. I believe it was like the words used to say in MTV, "Think global, act local."

There is no way a man would change the world. It needs a collective of people with the same desire. Fortunately, it doesn't require a total of population. It only needs few that could stay true to the cause and keep influencing people to do it. It needs people to dream high.

To dream high means that we have to realize that the road takes more than our lifetime. That's what I have realized in the very beginning of my dream. Nothing is new nor rocket science, that trick is what keeping me keep true to my dream.

To have a conscience about the height of our dream will ensure us to not forcing ourselves to achieve the dream in one go. We will see that our lives as one of the contributors.

Now, think about the narrowest thing that we could do with our dreams. Then, share it. Expand your responsibility, but don't be greedy. There are things that we can't do outside our circle. Don't try to fit those in yet.

It is just like an RPG, the main character can't kill the boss dungeon yet.  We have to go leveling up, solve many side quests and find some companions along the way. There is this excitement when we discover some new sites and clearing some dungeon.  We should not forget about this excitement.

To have a belief in a high dream is a tricky matter. The problem to achieve it is not the problem to hurdle but the heart to bear.

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...
