so basically i build stuff when i'm bored, which is like… all the time T.T i'm probably a tad too arrogant and definitely too weird for polite company, but i've made my peace with that. be cringe, be free >w<

i don't really do "the accepted way" of doing things. if a convention stands between me and the thing i actually want, i will politely walk around it, through it, or occasionally reimplement it from scratch just to prove i can. perfection isn't a feature request, it's a vibe, and i chase it way too hard for someone who started every one of these projects out of pure boredom :P

i self-host most of my nonsense on my own DNS server, on my own domains, because why would i let someone else hold the keys ( ˘ ³˘) currently grinding through an HF Cloud-Native Engineer program, which is a fancy way of saying i get graded on things i was going to overbuild anyway ehe.

okay so this is the big one. crimsonhaven.to is a full distributed anime-streaming framework i built basically because i was bored one evening and it just… never stopped >.< it's not one repo, it's a whole ecosystem of seven, and the architecture is genuinely the thing i'm proudest of because it does something clever:

the whole trick: move the scraping, the resolving, and the video bytes off the backend and into the viewer's own browser — so hosting cost scales with your library size, not your watch-hours. bandwidth is expensive and hard to scale, so… i just refused to pay for it. ( • ̀ω•́ )✧

yes there's a recurring vampire-queen OC named Luminas Crimsonveil ("Lumi") narrating half of it. no i will not be explaining myself. ( ^ . ^ )

AbyssC is a performance-first, modular compression engine written entirely in Rust. eight codecs, four containers, one CLI, one GUI, same core underneath both. and then, because i apparently hate free time:

• ✍️ my own from-scratch entropy coder (ans.rs) — a block-based rANS that owes nothing to any external crate. four interleaved states per block, reciprocal-multiply encoding, single-lookup decode, folded across every core >w<
• 🔐 sealed .abyss archives — Argon2id → ChaCha20-Poly1305 STREAM, authenticated end to end. "the surface cannot read what it cannot open" 🩸
• 🌊 streaming by nature — a 100 GB file costs the same RAM as a 100 KB one
• 📖 reads the surface's forms too (.7z, .rar, .iso, the whole zip family) even though it refuses to create them, because taste

adding a codec touches exactly one file and one detection table. the rest of the engine does not stir. i think about that sentence a normal amount. ( ˶ˆ ꒳ˆ˵ )

• 🤖 countdown-bot — a Discord bot that parses natural-language reminders ("tomorrow at 5pm", "in 3 hours") into SQLite-backed countdowns
• 🧛 lumi-welcome-bot — yes, Lumi has her own welcomer bot with full vampire-queen personality
• 📰 Auto-News — pulls RSS, "refines" it through AI APIs, publishes to a site, hands-off
• 🎮 genshin-dps-calc — honestly i don't fully know what this is either, i just wanted something to host on my own DNS server :P
• ☁️ AbyssEngine — a from-scratch push-to-deploy PaaS (webhook → build → deploy → run), my (would-be) cloud-native semester project

i like the low levels (writing an entropy coder, injecting forbidden headers, minting signed edge links) and i like the high levels (making a UI that a mortal can actually use). the middle is where conventions live, and the middle is negotiable ehe~
