The Lonely Linuxer v2 Log #1: The Next Step

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first entry of The Lonely Linuxer v2. A lot has happened since my previous posts, and I feel like this is the right time to start a new chapter.

The biggest change has been my chatbot project. What started as Herobot Multilingual has now evolved into Herobot-Llama. Instead of simply improving the old version, I decided to redesign it around a local Llama model. It now supports internet search and has become a much more capable assistant than my earlier chatbot. Building it taught me a lot about Java, AI, local language models, and how different components can work together to create something useful.

I also started experimenting with AI in a different way. Recently, I used Google Flow to create YouTube Shorts. It's fascinating to see how AI can help not only with programming but also with creating content. I'm still learning, but I'm excited to explore what I can make next.

Of course, game development is still one of my biggest passions. I've been thinking about returning to some of my older projects instead of always starting new ones. Two games that I especially want to improve are HeroZombotag and Flappy Commander. Looking back at my old work reminds me of how much I've learned over the years. I know there are many things I can polish, whether it's the gameplay, the visuals, or the overall experience.

One thing I've learned is that progress isn't always about making something completely new. Sometimes, the next step is improving what you've already built. Every project becomes a lesson that helps the next one become better.

As always, Linux remains my daily companion. It continues to be the environment where I write code, experiment with new ideas, and build the projects that I enjoy sharing with everyone. There are still many things I want to learn, and I know there will be challenges ahead, but that's part of the journey.

This is only the beginning of The Lonely Linuxer v2. I have many ideas I want to bring to life, from improving my AI projects to updating my games and creating more content along the way.

Thank you for reading and for supporting my work. Whether you've downloaded one of my games, tried my chatbot, or simply stopped by to read this blog, I truly appreciate it.

See you in the next log.

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...
