As of currently, the light mode on this site doesn't live up to what I want it to be.<br>I want it to be something that is the opposite of the dark mode, and it really isn't that. Expect it to change. But, in case you do still want to view it, here are the current css variable colors:<br><div class="code">html.l {<div style="margin-left: 1em;">--navCo: #0F0089;<br>--headCo: #3700FF;<br>--linkCo: #F7E45D;<br>--maCo: #0044F7;<br>--maTxtCo: #C2FFBA;<br>--buCo: #F09;<br>--buTxtCo: #0FF;<br>--buBoCo: #fff;<br>--noteCo: #f25;<br>--noteTxtCo: #ccc;<br>--inCo: #0bf;<br>--inlinkCo: #05c;<br>--selCo: #f51;<br>--selTxtCo: #059;<br>--taCo: #cf4;<br>--taTxtCo: black;</div>}</div>

title: How to Store a Passwords
date: 2023 Nov 2
---
**Disclaimer**: The world of cyber-security is an incredibly complex and constantly evolving topic, and I am not a cyber-security researcher; I create projects for fun.
Storing a password in a server can be intimidating. Password management is incredibly tricky, as anything you mess up could compromise your users' password(s). Thankfully, random websites you've never visited before have a pure HTML blog post from 2023 about that exact topic, and how to do it properly.
Basically, it's just this sequence of steps:
* Generate a long random sequence of characters, this is called a *[salt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography))*(generate for each user, do not use a master salt)
* Prepend(or append, it doesn't matter, just keep it consistent) this to the user's password
* Use a [hashing algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function), such as [PBKDF2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2), to generate a unique sequence of characters that will uniquely identify that password.
* Store the salt and hash in the same place, *do not* store the password on it's own.
And to check if a password is right, repeat the steps, except rather than generating a random sequence of characters, get the sequence of characters that you've stored along with the hash.
## Why Do *This*?
You might be thinking: *That's a bit arbitrary innit?* And if you aren't then you can stop reading now.
This method of storing passwords is the only way to ensure that you are securely storing them. So let's go through some other ways, and why they aren't so good.
### Plaintext Passwords
Storing your passwords in plaintext allows anyone who can get into your server to easily take any password they want, as no matter how good your users' password is, their account will be hacked if an unauthorized or malicious individual is able to get in.
### Encrypted Passwords
This is basically just plaintext with additional steps. As long as your master-key is stored somewhere, it will get stolen as soon as somebody manages to get into your system.
### Bare Hashing
A hash isn't able to be undone, meaning theoretically you should be able to *just* hash your password. This, while a fair assumption, has unfortunately been incorrect for quite some time. There are databases online that store every word in the english language(or just some words) in addition to common passwords and their hashes, and users will often use words for their passwords, even though it's insecure.
This is where salts come in. Due to the nature of hashes, even a single change in a string will entirely change it's hash, as such, if you add a random sequence of characters to a string, then you can entirely change it's hash.

<p>Undertale is an amazing game. I really enjoyed my time playing it. I listen to the sound track a lot(I'm doing it as I write this). I even read a fanmade <a href="https://undertale-au.fandom.com/wiki/Category:AUs">AU</a> called <a href="https://invertedfate.com/chapters">Inverted Fate</a>. The only thing that I haven't done(and don't intend on doing) is a <a href="https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Genocide_Route">Genocide Run</a>. But, there's one thing that's kinda been bugging me since it first found out about it. It's the fact that their's a version of <a href="https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Undertale_(Soundtrack)">Undertale(the song)</a> that wasn't added, and instead was replaced with the version we have now.</p><h1>The Current Version</h1><p>The version we got of Undertale was a pretty good one. It's a little sad, while also filled with hope(just like the monsters in the neutral route. It is kinda the song of their hope, since it only plays during the end of the neutral route). Below is the version we got in the game.</p><audio controls><source src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/undertale/images/6/66/Undertale_%28Soundtrack%29_music_1.ogg" type="audio/ogg"><source src="https://ia902907.us.archive.org/29/items/undertaleost_202004/Undertale%20-%20Lossless%20Soundtrack%20%28toby%20fox%29/toby%20fox%20-%20UNDERTALE%20Soundtrack%20-%2071%20Undertale.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"><source src="https://ia802907.us.archive.org/29/items/undertaleost_202004/Undertale%20-%20Lossless%20Soundtrack%20%28toby%20fox%29/toby%20fox%20-%20UNDERTALE%20Soundtrack%20-%2071%20Undertale.flac" type="audio/flac">It looks like your browser doesn't support the audio tag. <a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/undertale/images/6/66/Undertale_%28Soundtrack%29_music_1.ogg">This is a link to the audio so that you can download it if you so choose.</a></audio><h1>The One that could have been</h1><p>This one is also greate, and I personally think I like it a lot better than the one we have.

title: Creating a Switch in HTML and CSS
date: 2022 Feb 11

<p>A switch is something that is basically just a nicer checkbox. Here, I'll be showing you how to make one.</p>The first step is to create checkbox with any classname; I'll be using <span class="code">switch</span>.<div class="code"><style><div style="margin-left:1em;">input[type=checkbox].switch {}</div></style><br><input type="checkbox" class="switch"></div><p>Next step is to add an appearance of none to the CSS--make sure to add <span class="code">-moz-</span> and <span class="code">-webkit-</span>. After that, you're going to want to set it so that the checkbox a rectangle--make sure it's in <span class="code">px</span>. We also want to set the position to relative</p><div class="code"><style><div style="margin-left:1em;">input[type=checkbox].switch {<div style="margin-left:1em;">-webkit-appearance: none;<br>-moz-appearance: none;<br>appearance: none;<br>position: relative;<br>width: 30px;<br>height: 16px;</div>}</div></style><br><input type="checkbox" class="switch"></div><p>Next we want to create a <span class="code">::before</span> pseudo. In there we want to make it have a position of relative, a width and height that are abit less than the height of the main switch, a display of inline-block, a top and left of 0, a content of anything, color of transparent, and a background color that's different from the one in the main switch.</p><div class="code"><style><div style="margin-left:1em;">input[type=checkbox].switch {<div style="margin-left:1em;">-webkit-appearance: none;<br>-moz-appearance: none;<br>appearance: none;<br>position: relative;<br>width: 30px;<br>height: 16px;</div>}<br>input[type=checkbox].switch::before {<div style="margin-left:1em;">top: 0;<br>left: 0;<br>position: relative;<br>background: red;<br>content: ".";<br>color: transparent;<br>width: 14px;<br>height: 14px;</div>}</div></style><br><input type="checkbox" class="switch"></div><p>Finally add a pseudo called <span class="code">:checked</span> which checks if a checkbox, or a radio, was checked; you'll want to change the before pseudo if the the checkbox is checked. You need to set the left to a bit less than the width of the checkbox; you can adjust it until it looks right to you.</p>Now, let's look at what it looks like<br><iframe style="background:#fff;border:none" srcdoc='<style>input[type=checkbox].switch {-webkit-appearance: none;-moz-appearance: none;appearance: none;background: #efefef;position: relative;border: 1px black solid;width: 30px;height: 16px;border-radius: 0;}input[type=checkbox].switch::before {top: 0;left: 0.24px;position: relative;background: red;content: ".";color: transparent;width: 20px;height: 14px;}input[type=checkbox].switch:checked::before {left: 25px;}</style><input type="checkbox" class="switch">'></iframe>

title: The FizzBuzz Program
date: 2022 Feb 20

<p>A FizzBuzz Program is a program used in many job interviews to see if a programmer is good at problem solving. There are many ways to make one.</p><p>First let me tell you why I write these programs. These programs, at least in my opinion, are good when you're learning a new programming language. It gives you a problem to solve, and all you need to do to solve it. Incase you're wondering, the problem is to make a program that counts from 1 to 100 and replaces all multiples of 3 with Fizz, all multiples of 5 with Buzz, and multiples of both with FizzBuzz. Generally in interviews, they also ask you to add on more multiples, such as multiples of 7 are replaced with Fuzz, and multiples of 11 are replaced with Bizz.</p><p>Now that I've told you what a FizzBuzz Program is, let me show you how I make them in Psuedo-Code.</p><div class="code">for i in 1-100 {<div style="margin-left:1em">toPrint = ""<br>print(toPrint)</div>}</div><p>The first thing I do is I create a for loop, and within it I put a print statement and a variable named toPrint.</p><div class="code">def check(checktomulti, multi, toreturn) {<div style="margin-left:1em">if checktomulti % multi == 0 {<div style="margin-left:1em">return toreturn</div>}<br>return ""</div>}<br>def checkEmpty(string, number) {<div style="margin-left:1em">if string == "" {<div style="margin-left:1em">return number</div>}<br>return string</div>}<br>for i in 1-100 {<div style="margin-left:1em">toPrint = checkEmpty(check(i, 3, "Fizz") + check(i, 5, "Buzz"), i)<br>print(toPrint)</div>}</div><p>The next thing I do is I define a function that checks if one number is a multiple of another, and if it is, then it returns the string, otherwise, it returns an empty string.</p><p>Then I make a function that checks if a string is an empty one, if it is, then it returns a number.</p><p>Once I have these 2 functions, I go back into the for loop and make the toPrint variable have the variable for checking if a string is empty(and if it is replace it with a number) check if 2 of the other function that check if one number is a multiple of another(and if it is, return a string). Finally, it prints the output.</p><p>I've tried this method many times.

title: Fortress Forever on Linux!
date: 2022 Dec 16
updated: 2023 Jan 1
---
Fortress Forever is finally playable fully on Linux using Proton-GE version 7-41(note: if you change the setting you will have to reboot the game).
If you need a quick rundown on how to download and install Proton-GE, [I've made a video about that already](https://youtu.be/B2LZ8nYd3Bw). It is technically about a different game, however, the problem is still similar enough to apply pretty much the same steps.
It plays pretty well, the only problem is when a local server changes maps, and the font for some of the menus(and the chat) being very... bad looking. It's not the game's fault for the second one, however, it is still something that's annoying if you don't want to do too much tinkering.
I'm glad to be able to play this great game on my daily OS without having to open Bottles every time I want to play Fortress Forever.
Whenever I'm playing Fortress Forever, I'm usually on [MaxTF's Midwest server](https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/server2.maxcommunity.net:27015/)... I have the lowest ping there, not good though.

title: Page Keyboard Navigation on MacOS
date: 2022 Feb 26

Ok, so I feel like a complete idiot right now.
When I've been trying(and failing) to use the <span class="code">tab</span> key on my computer(it's a Macbook) for what feels like forever now. Turns out, it was as simple as hitting <span class="code">control + fn + <<</span>(<span class="code"><<</span> is <span class="code">F7</span>).
To be honest, I thought that it was just an issue with FireFox, and then I read [Browser keyboard navigation in macOS](https://www.a11yproject.com/posts/macos-browser-keyboard-navigation/) and realized that it was an issue with MacOS! This should really be an option enabled by default, but Apple is stupid.

title: Satisfactory Concept: Farming
date: 2023 Apr 16
---
Here is my idea for automating the collection of healing materials(such as Beryl Nuts) in Satisfactory
## Plant Pods
Plant pods would be researchable in the Nutrients section of the MAM. It would cost:
* 5 modular frames
* 10 steel pipes
* 20 biofuel
to research.
You'd be able to build it in a new _Farming_ section in the production category of the build menu. It would cost the user:
* 4 steel pipes
* 2 quickwire
* 5 biofuel
to build. It would require 1 MW of power to function. Plants that are left without power while in there will not continue growing or providing harvest, however they will not die(that'd be annoying if they did).
The user would be able to interact with the planting pod to bring up a menu that tells them what stage of growing it's at(baby, growing, fully grown), how ripe for harvest the plant is(out of 3 states: none, starting, ripe). The UI will have a button to harvest at the bottom, and a box that will allow the plant to be exchanged for another--which would give you a few leaves, proportional to how long it's been growing(0 if baby, 4 if growing, 10 if fully grown), and the amount of fruit they would have gotten from the harvest + 1 extra(for the fruit they put in).
## Robot Farmers
Researchable under the _Crystal Oscillator_. The research cost is:
* 10 Crystal Oscillators
* 5 AI limiter
* 3 quickwire
These little farmers need power to survive, which is why the _ROBOT charger_ is unlocked with them.
This building can be built in the power section. They cost:
* 15 quickwire
* 2 modular frames
* 5 crystal oscillators
to build.
Once built, this building acts like the truck station, but instead of coal, it loads power, and it can only unload items from the bot's inventory.
The Robo-Farmer is then buildable under the _Farming_ section in the production category of the build menu. It costs :
* 1 Factory Cart
* 2 Crystal Oscillators
* 1 AI limiter
* 3 quickwire
* 5 steal pipes
to build.
These little robots have themselves a little UI that allows you to select items they should farm. Once given a task, these robots will always return to the nearest _ROBOT charger_ when their inventory is full, or they are running low on power(robots will always attempt to keep themselves powered). If the robot cannot find a plant within range that is harvestable, then the they will wait until there is one.
## Getting the most out of these resources
Robot Farmers are best at traversing on foundations(they spend less power). As such, it is recommended, that the player create a flat platform that has plant pods with some space between for the bots to traverse between them. In the center, the player should build a _ROBOT charger_, as it will allow the robots the run around equally in each direction. Players should also utilize the _Conveyor Lift_ to bring materials to a layer above for sorting, or other purposes.

title: TF2 disguise Command
date: 2022 Dec 17
updated: 2022 Dec 24
---
A Spy class-specific command
## Layout
The basic layout of the disguise command is very simple.
```
disguise [class : number] [team : number]
```
## `class` Parameter
`1` : Scout
`2` : Sniper
`3` : Soldier
`4` : Demoman
`5` : Medic
`6` : Heavy
`7` : Pyro
`8` : Spy
`9` : Engineer
The reason the classes are in this order is that they were added in that order. As mentioned in the [Team Fortress wiki's article on _Quake World Team Fortress_](https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress#Versions)(A.K.A. _Quake Team Fortress_, or just _Team Fortress_), it mentions the classes were added in the order of _scout_, _sniper_, _soldier_, _demoman_, and _medic_; then _heavy_; _pyro_; and finally _spy_ and _engineer_.
## `team` Parameter
These depend upon what team you're on.
`-1` : Enemy Team
`-2` : Friendly Team
### Specific Teams
These aren't extremely useful, but they exist. They are independent of the team you're on.
`1` : Blu Team
`2` : Red Team
## Example
Normally, when you disguise as a spy of your team, you undisguise. This also applies to the disguise command, allowing for an "undisguise" command.
```
disguise "8" "-2"
```
You're also able to put this into a bind, allowing for an undisguise bind.
