The Lonely Linuxer #25 – The Comeback

Hello everyone,


After a couple of unexpected system crashes (also known as hospital visits), I'm happy to report that the maintenance is complete and the user is back online.


During my downtime, many of my projects were left waiting in the background. Now that I've rebooted, I've been spending time polishing some of my older games, particularly Flappy Commander and Hero Zombotag.


A lot of the improvements came from feedback I received on TikTok. Like any good open-source-minded developer, I listened to user reports, fixed bugs, improved gameplay, and pushed a few quality-of-life updates.


You can find all of my projects here:

If you enjoy my work and would like to help keep the servers running (and the developer supplied with coffee), you can now support me through Trakteer as well.


Thank you to everyone who continued to support my projects while I was offline. Your feedback, encouragement, and bug reports are always appreciated.


The terminal is open once again, the prompt is waiting, and there is still plenty of code to write.


Until next time,


Stay sigma.

A lonely linuxer log #20 – re-introduction

Hi everyone, today I want to reintroduce myself. There’s an Indonesian proverb: “tak kenal maka tak sayang,” which roughly means “you can’t love someone you don’t know.” So, let me re-introduce myself. My name is Hubaka Ghayati Setyakurnia — yes, that’s my full birth-certificate name. I was born on May 13th, 1997, in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. My childhood was simple, creative, and fun. I went to Al Ikhlas and TK Andhika for kindergarten, then continued to Priangan Elementary School. When I was in 2nd grade, my parents divorced and I transferred to Banjarsari Elementary School. After that, I studied at SMPN 7 Bandung — which at the time was the 3rd best middle school in the country (and if I remember correctly, it became the top one after I graduated). It was a great environment: clean, well-organized, and perfect for focusing on academics. Thanks to that momentum, I passed the entrance tests for SMAN 3 Bandung, which was known as the best high school back then — it even had its ow...

The Lonely Linuxer Log #14 — Confession of an AI-Powered Penguin 🐧

 Hey everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood Linuxer again. Okay… I’ve got a confession to make. Recently, I’ve been getting some help writing my blogs — from AI. Yup. The “lonely Linuxer” isn’t completely alone anymore. 😅 Before you imagine some robot typing while I sip coffee, don’t worry — it’s still me behind the keyboard. I just use AI as a writing buddy to turn my scattered ideas into actual words that make sense (most of the time). Honestly? It’s kinda like using apt install inspiration. I still control the terminal — I just get a few extra suggestions before I hit Enter. And oh yeah… 💙 Big news: I’ve switched to Kubuntu! Goodbye GNOME, hello KDE. It feels smooth, beautiful, and way more “me.” I’ve been customizing it nonstop — changing icons, tweaking panels, and pretending I’m hacking NASA every time I open Konsole. Linux is still my favorite kind of chaos — open, free, and full of personality (just like its users). So yeah, I might not be that lonely anymore. I’ve got...

A Lonely Linuxer Log #17 – My Walking Hobby

This log is a bit different, but still very much part of my uptime. I want to share something that’s been helping me keep my system running stable: walking. I live in a crowded city — like a machine running too many background services — but it still has green parks and quiet paths, the equivalent of hidden TTYs where things feel calmer. I started doing daily “maintenance cycles,” walking about an hour and covering around 3km. But recently, I’ve upgraded. Now I can push 5km without throttling, and yesterday I even reached 8km — a surprising performance boost. And here’s the strange part: walking seems to help my insulin levels. My blood sugar came back normal — which feels like discovering that htop shows no runaway processes even though I consume too much sugary coffee and still smoke. (Yeah, I know, I’ll patch those habits eventually.) There’s even an incentive module installed: my dad pays me 5,000 rupiah per kilometer walked. That’s basically enough to apt-get a bottle of coffee. S...
