Why not make a multi-lingual site
You can visit en and CJK for that. Individual RSS/ICS subscription is also available.
I know quite a few lingua franca1 (reading/listening proficiency only), it will become impossible to maintain and update each on a regular basis, not to mention that some languages have no written form at all.
What? You know about the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)? Sorry, I don’t.
What is “Geekademy”
It’s a word I coined and used since junior high school, a combination of Geek and Platonic Academy (Ἀκαδημία)2.
I wish to buy geekademy.com domain back in 2018 when I decided to use a dedicated domain for my old blog, but it’s already taken.
In the end I just picked up another word I coined as my domain.
Is the site favicon “Star of David”
It’s actually a 🔯 Dotted Six-Pointed Star, but yes, I use it as a reference to ✡️ Star of David.
What is “Sine īrā et studiō”
It’s a famous quote from Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus.
The literal meaning is “without anger or passion”.
For details on the change and why I discarded the previous VENI VIDI VICI,
see RIP (written in Chinese).
License, you know, the CC0/Public Domain/CC BY 4.0 stuff
Good question! I can keep talking on this specific topic for 2 hours3. In short, unlicensed and all rights reserved.
As CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0, CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0, GFDL-1.3-only all have their shortcomings and we are now at a time copyright law & common sense being challenged by LLMs, I’m still waiting for a serious guidance other than the wrecked DMCA.
However, you are allowed to copy and redistribute the text material without derivatives in a non commercial way, as long as you give the appropriate credit. For codes, AGPL unless otherwise noted. Just note that I hold the right of final explanation before the ideal non-existent law comes into act.
How to contact you
If you are not in a rush, I have a (rarely used) Matrix account @vinfall:tchncs.dewhich will be checked regularly per quarter.
That’s really slow for an instant messager, I know.
