A Personal Informatic System

To read is to write, to write is to think.

I’ve been in the goldrush of searching for productivity, effectivity and efficiency since I was outside of an uterus. With tech companies exuding their pitch everyday, everyone is deluding they can change the world, but not everyone can do it in an organic, healthy way. Most of the time, it stays a delusion, a self-fulling prophecy. What’s even worse, in the world directed by patriarchy and totalitarian, you never hear the stories of losers. You never know how losers lose exactly. Which then, empowers more grandiose delusions. The cycle sucks every dripple of the mind, the tycoons feast on the lust of becoming superior and the slope slips toward a more power-clinging world.

We often assume that a certain amount of conditions are necessary and sufficient for a subject to validate their merits and definitions for the subject. We cross-examine their necessity and sufficiency then make our conclusion. This is just one of my superficial understandings of our founding fathers of the modern world from ancient Greek1. I concur this is a sound way to build our knowledge. But often, I found that not many recognize this virtue, or as I called it, a hidden law. Instead of building a sound and strong judgment about anything, we often tend to make hasty generalizations. In my knowledge, this lack of yearning for knowledge, or to put it in an easier word, recognition laziness, is another one of the parameters I discovered for the delusions.

I have done everything in my power to reduce the possibility of making hasty generalizations since I am aware of this law, to simply make sound judgements and avoid troubles in life. One can say I’m narcissistic and material, but this is just one of the many traits of human as a biome. Whether one would like to admit it or not, we live in a manipulated world in which recognition is slanted or abused by power.

Recently, I’ve been working on a personal informatic system to help me avoid abusing the knowledge I currently possess, or failing recognizing the sound parameters of an subject. Before doing anything, I need this intelligence system tell me what, how and where to retrieve the information. It’s a fancy way to describe a knowledge management system.

This is how I implement it. I have Calibre for book management, Audiobookshelf for audiobook management with docker hosting, a 7B LLM(Out of VRAM), a CRM and a RSS aggregator all running on local. Then I manage to let nginx, frps and xray all working on my remote VPS in which frps serve as a reverse proxy. It is a simple solution for my knowledge management needs. I can finally suck the marrow out of the whole human digital asset anywhere, anytime, anydevice. This is what I’ve been working on for the past three days. It is not a tool for all life’s troubles, it is simply an informatic system which aggregate all the best knowledge I can get and ease the way to grow wisdom. My hope is that I can see and recognize necessary and sufficient conditions whenever I face the difficile.
