gasping for air

#poetry #muse

Soc Virnyl Estela | 2025-04-26 | reading time: ~1min

what i believe to be love—was just me painting a picture that does not hold any water

if only life was a little bit kind,
but what i get was the harsh reality—
that one mistake is enough

a mistake that could have been fixed,
but no one reached out—
to reassure me that "to err is human"

i was willing,
determined,
to fix myself,
to prove for them,
that i also deserve to be understood,
but here i am,
trying to heal up,
while gasping for air

i hope someday,
i'll be able to swim back to the shore,
but now, i am still in this life raft—
thinking what to do next

may time give me the peace i need

The Only Two Markup Languages

There are only two families of proper arbitrary markup languages: TeX and SGML I would normally link to official thing as reference but it's behind the "wonderful" ISO paywall: ISO 8879:1986.. By arbitrary, I mean the grammar specifically, and how it can …

Pre-agent nostalgia

Everything seems to move fast these days and apparently nostalgia is no exception. I'm not an agentic coding evangelist but I'm also a realist—coding agents are really impressive and have changed the way most of us write software. Agents can help you plan,…

Software Assurance & That Warm and Fuzzy Feeling

If I were to recommend you use a piece of cryptography-relevant software that I created, how would you actually know if it was any good? Trust is, first and foremost, a social problem. If I told you a furry designed a core piece of Internet infrastructure,…

Redesigning my microkernel from the ground up

As you may recall, circa 2022-2023 I was working on a microkernel written in Hare named Helios. Helios was largely inspired by and modelled after the design of seL4 and was my first major foray into modern OS development that was serious enough to get to a…

I transformed my LEGO Gameboy into a working Gameboy!

Since I saw the Lego Gameboy set, I wanted to make it functional since I have good knowledge of programming and little knowledge of electronics. Also I've been a big fan of Gameboys since I was a kid, so I thought it would be a fun project to combine my…

reqwest v0.13 - rustls by default

To end out the year, here comes a new major release of reqwest, the opinionated higher-level HTTP client for Rust. We don’t really need major breaking versions to keep providing value. Improvements keep coming all the time. But we did need one to make one…

Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animals (2025)

It’s my last day of writing for the year, so I’m going to try keep this one quick – it was knocked out over three hours, so I hope you can forgive me if it’s a bit clumsier than my usual writing. For some strange reason, one of the few clear memories I hav…

Are people migrating away from GitHub?

I noticed some people migrating away from GitHub recently. I was curious to understand the rationale. Is it a blip or is it a sign of prolonged exodus?

Yep, Passkeys Still Have Problems

It's now late into 2025, and just over a year since I wrote my last post on Passkeys. The prevailing dialogue that I see from thought leaders is "addressing common misconceptions" around Passkeys, the implication being that "you just don't understand it co…

LLDB's TypeSystems Part 2: PDB

In my previous post, I described implementing PDB parsing as a can of worms. That might have been a bit of an understatement. PDB has been one "oh, it's gonna be twice as much work as I thought" after another. Implementing it has revealed many of the same …

Bevy is the most popular and powerful game engine in Rust. Because of its flexibility, it can be used not only for games but also for (scientific) physics simulations. In this blog post, I will share my experience using Bevy for physics simulations from sc…
