Dispatches from my not-so-latest experiments, exploits, and the occasional wanders to the unkown thats successful enough to be written down.

About Mega Nugraha

Developer, Problem Creator & Professional Procrastinator

Hi there! I'm Mega Nugraha, allegedly a developer. Realistically, I'm just someone who's too stubborn to quit and too caffeinated to think clearly.

Currently studying Computer Science at some backwater university in Indonesia while pretending to understand LLM distillation, because apparently running 7GB models on my laptop to generate grocery lists is peak productivity.

I'm a professional procrastinator who builds task management apps instead of managing tasks. I run LLMs locally because trusting the cloud is for people who don't read privacy policies, and I believe in the power of containerization to solve problems that containers created.

Most of my commits happen between 11 PM and 3 AM because apparently that's when my brain decides to function. I judge your cable management and think Arch is overrated while NixOS is for masochists.

R2 Object Thrower

File uploader with real-time usage tracking that prevents you from bankrupting yourself on cloud storage. Uses Cloudflare's GraphQL Analytics API because apparently everything needs to be complicated now.

Silly-Widgy

An Electron task widget that uses 200MB of RAM to display 50 characters of text. Features smooth animations that took longer to implement than the actual functionality.

Laravel Docker Nginx Boilerplate

Docker setup for Laravel because running PHP directly on servers is apparently too simple. Three containers to serve one web application - the modern way.

Wait-A-Moment React App

Loading page for when your serverless Laravel app is taking a nap. Pings sleeping applications until they remember how to respond to HTTP requests.
