I’m frost,

Here are some mostly useless details about me:

  • Age: 17 (at the time of writing)
  • Gender: Male
  • Pronouns: He/Him
  • Location: Somewhere on Earth
  • Status: Unemployed

I’m still figuring things out. I want to be employed by the end of this year, though I’m not sure how realistic that is yet.

Right now, I spend most of my time on:

  • computers
  • the internet
  • systems and behavior

But, that will probably change.

Fun fact: People sometimes call me a robot in real life ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Yeah this site till now has completely been programmed on an Android device. I know shocking right? Well the computer I had broke so now I only have my phone till I am able to get myself a computer.

I have been using termux, with neovim since then. And let’s just say phones are a pain in the ass to get anything useful out of, they are fundamentally designed for media consumption.

I have been using Arch Linux ever since I was 13 so all the drawbacks and limitations of an Android device is very clear to me.

I just hope I’ll get myself a computer soon (⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ


Why I Made This Site

People change, usually in ways that are too small to notice until much later.

I made this site to keep track of that.

Think of it as a record for my future self — what I believed, what I cared about, and how I saw the world at a particular moment in time.

Life has been a bit unstable recently, I had to leave hold of something I thought was permanent. I have a lot of free time these days, however that’s unlikely to last. I don’t use any social apps — I just can’t stand them. The only platform I still use occasionally is YouTube. I’ve also lost contact with everyone I used to know.

Maybe that’s fine. Maybe not. Either way, I’d like to meet new people in real life.

“This guy is a pessimistic idiot, but he’s not that bad.”
— someone I used to know


Before You Read

This site isn’t really about computers. They just appear a lot right now because that’s what I’m learning.

More than anything, this is a place to store thoughts as they are — unfinished, imperfect, and sometimes even contradictory.

I don’t expect everything here to age well. In fact, I expect the opposite.

This isn’t a guide, and I don’t want it to become one. I’m not trying to teach anything or position myself as someone worth following. I’m just trying to leave behind an honest trail of where my mind was at the time. People change, and I will too.

This site is just an experiment:

Can I accept the fact that I won’t stay the same?

Can I look back later and still recognize the person who wrote this?

Can something be worth keeping even if it is temporary?

Is something worth the effort if you know full well at the end it doesn’t carry any meaning?


If reading the above makes you think that I’m somehow suicidal, let me assure you: I’ve already found my meaning and place in this world. My life no matter how boring it may seem I do enjoy it. I fully accept my past, I don’t have any regrets in life, and I will make sure to keep it this way.

Note that: You’re seeing a version of me that only exists at this point in time.

Maybe some of these thoughts will feel naive later. Maybe some will still hold up. I don’t know.

but that’s kind of the point.

This place isn’t meant to be final.
I might just rewrite this page in a year and disagree with half of it.


Contact

If you want to say something:

  • Email/XMPP: frostecho@disroot.org
  • I will add my PGP key soon, the reason I’m not doing it right now is I don’t have any computer, this site till now is entirely made on a cellphone, I’ll be able setup everything nicely once I have it. (Phones really are a pain in the ass).
  • Just use XMPP if you want to talk privately, almost all the clients should be able to detect my OMEMO fingerprint .
  • I would love to here you talk about anything, please don’t feel shy.
  • Message me on Neocities
  • Or perhaps be the frist one to sign My Guestbook .
  • Or you can exist quietly, that works too.

Site Stats

There is also a small record of how this site behaves over time.

It updates automatically when the site is rebuilt, so it’s less “live analytics” and more a snapshot of activity at different points in time.
