Binary-Eater · Binary-Eater · commit 9dcb4cf9045c · 2023-12-10T21:12:24.000-08:00
Add needed changes to make switch possible. Set various posts that would
clutter the m10c theme to draft status.

+
+I am an open source enthusiast mainly interested in low-level programming and
+operating systems. My personal interests are mainly in PC-class development and
+improving the personal computing space in the open source community. On my free
+time, I mess around with input devices and the stacks related to them.
+
+For fun, I have worked on the [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/hid/hid-nvidia-shield.c][hid-nvidia-shield]] driver. I started this project
+after playing some games with [[https://github.com/PiotrGalusza][a friend]] and learning that Xbox controllers had
+first class haptics support on Linux (thanks to the ~xpad~ driver made by
+individuals) while the NVIDIA SHIELD controller I was using did not. We were
+playing [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/263300/BlazBlue_Calamity_Trigger/][BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]] at the time, and it was lame to not have
+haptics support in the game on my controller while the Xbox controller had a
+nice experience.
+
+For my work at NVIDIA, I do specialized work regarding [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol][IEEE 1588 PTP]] and other
+timestamping application support in the [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core][upstream mlx5 netdev driver]] for [[https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/networking/ethernet-adapters/][NVIDIA's
+Mellanox ConnectX NIC product line]]. The mlx5 driver is a large driver due to
+the various enterprise networking applications supported by our family of
+devices. I work on a fairly small part of the driver, mainly components
+involving PTP and recently MACsec these days. If you are interested in how to
+write arbitrary userspace applications that can take advantage of various
+timestamping information provided by the kernel and potentially your networking
+hardware, I would take a look at the [[https://docs.kernel.org/networking/timestamping.html][related kernel documentation]]. I was at
+[[https://netdevconf.info/0x17/][NetDevConfx17 in Vancouver]] on behalf of NVIDIA, and there was an [[https://netdevconf.info/0x17/sessions/talk/so_timestamping-powering-fleetwide-rpc-monitoring.html][interesting
+talk by Willem de Brujin]] (upstream kernel socket timestamping maintainer and
+kernel developer at Google) on this subject as well.
+
+I do enjoy peaking around the datacenter class open source development space,
+since some of the work there can be re-used for personal computer. An example is
+BPF and its original heavy use in the networking space. Now we see more
+applications of BPF in the space of system profiling and debugging as well as
+with [[https://docs.kernel.org/hid/hid-bpf.html][HID-BPF]].
+
+I am fine with being addressed by my real name Rahul Rameshbabu or my online
+profile handle Binary-Eater (you can shorten that to beater if you prefer when
+typing in chat).

+
+* Why I changed the theme of my site?
+
+When I first started this page, I built my own theme [[https://github.com/Binary-Eater/hugo-theme-ghci][hugo-theme-ghci]] based on
+the work done on the [[https://github.com/Yukuro/hugo-theme-shell][hugo-theme-ghci]] theme. I did this because I dislike the
+idea of using someone else's creative work to express myself on a personal site.
+I am really thankful to people who share themes for this purpose. I just thought
+back then I could make something more creative that expresses my interests.
+Unfortunately, reality has a nice way of crashing into you like freight train.
+The work it would take for me to build a creative site on top of upstream
+development work I am interested is too much for me right now. In terms of
+programming, I want to make my C and Rust as strong as possible as well as my
+knowledge of computer architecture and algorithms.
+
+Focusing on improving this website would distract me with the JavaScript webdev
+world (which itself is vast and important). That said, I have seen some flows
+involving [[https://elmprogramming.com/][Elm]] and SPA development that would interest me for this site. tl;dr I
+do not want to write any JavaScript or its derivatives (e.g. TypeScript) if I
+can help it.
+
+I am currently using the [[https://github.com/vaga/hugo-theme-m10c][m10c]] hugo theme for this site but may change things up
+a bit if I ever get time or someone wants to help me out. I was inspired to use
+a more minimal option after looking at [[https://asahilina.net/][Asahi Lina's under construction page]] for
+a while now. It's really cool, but it has no content. That was the state of my
+site for a while essentially. While I thought the theme I made was cool, I want
+to actually post content. I think I will take a content-first approach and
+backtrack on making the site nicer.
+
+Feel free to reach out to me over Matrix if you are interested in helping me
+with designing a better site for my blogs and content.
+
+* Why I removed certain posts?
+
+I had a bunch of stub pages for topics I originally wanted to expand upon. They
+contained now actual content however and served as clutter on this page. For
+now, I have marked them as draft status and they can be found on the GitHub page
+for this repository. A lot of those pages were not related to kernel/OS
+development or any of my non-technical interests. While I find those topics
+interesting, I want to keep myself focused on a core set of topics for now.
