Hello! I go by Elnu on the internet, and this is my blog, I hope
you find something of interest here. I’m 18, I’m interested in
programming, GNU/Linux, studying Japanese, watching anime, drawing,
and creative writing. I’m horrible at doing things
consistently.
For now, I’ll be posting small Linux and programming-related
posts explaining how to do various things that I happen to find
useful. In the future, I’ll post larger, more interesting posts.
Stay tuned! (〃＾▽＾〃)
Previously I’ve used pdflatex to render my LaTeX
documents, but I’ve just come across latexmk, which

it’s done), I needed a large list of Japanese words, with the
requirements being that the words be short and without kanji (only
in hiragana). In addition, ideally they should be simple words that
the average Japanese learner would know, and must be in a
machine-readable format that I can use in JavaScript.
I just finished working on Soudan, a Rust-based comment
system!
It’s now live on all posts on this site, feel free to give it a
go in the comments at the bottom of the page! Markdown formatting
is supported. If you submit your email address, it won’t be public,

Soudan is named after the word 相談 in Japanese, which means
discussion or consultation.
The source code is available on GitHub here my Gogs instance here under the GNU …
