Passion & Resources

I'll be honest — I don't have much money. No racks of x86 motherboards, no collection of mini PCs, no multiple broadband lines, no cloud server cluster on standby.

But that doesn't stop me from loving this stuff — operating systems, programs, low-level logic, code that actually runs. So I often, or rather always, spend my time debugging or writing something new. I do what I can with what I have — one computer, one working logic at a time.

The reality often looks different: People rent servers that sit idle, wasting away. People just want to feel what it's like to "own an internet service" but have nothing to host. There's hardware everywhere — big and small computers, fiber broadband from various ISPs — all gathering dust.

That's the beauty of open source.

I love my programs. If you have idle resources sitting around, take my code, compile it, run it, throw it on a server and play with it. No need to report back, no need to pay me. Let the code run on the hardware that needs it.

On Spending Money & Why Open Source

Not paying for hype, not overdrawing on sentiment.

The current subscription model and platform tax are essentially a tax on time, not on value. I choose to walk half a step behind: freeload when I can, procrastinate when I can. I know they'll drop prices — even go free — after fierce competition. I just don't want to pay the premium for "having it now."

More importantly: I don't make money from open source.

Since these code, assets, and tools are never going to be monetized, I will never spend money on them. No memberships, no API credits, no SaaS subscriptions. Open source should survive the open-source way — not by individuals subsidizing platforms.

So why do I still love open source?

Not because it brings me fame or fortune — those are at best byproducts.

Even if I end up broke one day, open source will still give back to open source:

  • You can freely pull the source code
  • You can grab binaries from Releases or package managers
  • You can read it, modify it, share it

That's the whole point of open source: It doesn't need to charge you, and it doesn't need to prove itself worthy.

My Code Hosting Platforms (by priority)

🥇 GitCode (Primary)

  • URL: https://gitcode.com/k4m7v2pz
  • Features:
  • Generous file storage and LFS quotas (free 2GB LFS, 30GB repo storage)
  • Game projects with assets are first-published here

🥈 Gitee (Backup)

  • URL: https://gitee.com/k4m7v2pz
  • Features:
  • Domestic platform, Chinese UI, fast access in mainland China
  • Public repos are subject to review, not the primary platform for new projects
  • Existing projects are kept as mirrors

🥉 GitHub (Special Cases)

  • URL: https://github.com/k4m7v2pz
  • Features:
  • Slower access or requires proxy, but the global mainstream platform
  • Only preferred when accessing others' repos or Releases
  • Less familiar with maintaining repos in English UI, but comfortable with English when using others' projects
  • Created repos comply with mainland Chinese law as much as possible; starred repos may not
  • Periodic pushes (not every minor change pushed immediately)
  • May develop in GitCode private repos first, then batch-mirror results to GitHub

Sync Strategy

  • Each project has one primary platform where it's first published
  • Other platforms are manually synced via HTTPS as mirrors
  • Don't put all eggs in one basket!
