Welcome to my digital garden – a space dedicated to exploring technology and sharing what I’ve been learning. This site reflects my passion for continuous learning and open-source software, wherein I document my journey, offer insights, and dive into miscellaneous topics that reflect my interest. My goal is to maintain a corner of the Web for self-expression focused on valuable, distraction-free content. I believe in the power of the Open Web as a platform for sharing knowledge.

Previously. From ‘Technical Support’ tales of the trenches. Problem statement: My parents have a Xiaomi Android phone. The amount of bloat in it is horrifying, incredibly disgusting. It is not possible to uninstall system apps – including Xiaomi’s and Google’s – by normal means. Once upon a time it used to be...
