Who am I?
I'm a
Mechatronic Engineer, Chief Scout, Polyglot and Polymath. I like technology, nature, history, phylosofy, politics, etc.
You thought it would be a list of things that I like to do? Okay, here we go:
- Adventure, I'm boy scout
- Music, I'm an audiophile and a saxophonist
- Rally, I like cars, and love my old (daily) rally car
- 3D Printing, I do some stuff, mostly technical, also check my startup NEO3D
- Linux, no I don't use Arch, I prefer Fedora, don't know why
Here are some of my personal interests:
- Knowledge, always trying to learn something new.
- Morals, always improving to be the best that I can be.
- Ethics, may vary person to person, but never hurt, unless someone has been hurt.
Sorry for the bad english, I'm better speaking than writing
What is this Website?
Well, be patient as I make this website, hahahaha. Here will literally be a website for me to put on some ideas. At this time you can check some of my old poetry (from child and teen ages), I will be posting a book that I wanted to write for a long time (I don't have much written yet), things that I recommend, personal projects, personal experiences, etc. So, this is literally a safe heaven for my mind to express.
Knowledge
After much meditation, I finally realized that my only true hobby is to gatter knowledge, and it won`t be fair to only gather and never share. Since I'm have strong insterests on many topics, and I tend to go on rabbit holes, I may have many deep random knowledge, so, here are some...
My current (early 2026) > Resume
The Wikiversity I'm writing about 3D printing. Yes, this wikiversity document does not have any images, because I am making (with my friend) a book (ebook and physical), but you can learn easily here (sorry, it is in portuguese) > Link!

New way to update the Website
Neocities editor was great for me to start learning how to handle HTML conding. I know, my website is pretty basic, and the most extensive stuff that I do is writing more than make any special effects, gifs, artistic panels, etc. My art is my knowledge and this writing. I know, it is not the best way to look in a black wall with tiny white inscriptions and handle all the things I am offering to your mind.
Either way, I've been using VSCodium/VSCode to handle 3dprinter firmwares, university projects and other small stuff. Just now I had the idea to look for an IDE to handle HTML. I really like Sunny's Playhouse offering on flathub, but I tried for 10min to insert all the documents I already have from Neocities, and got stuck. So start researching and got it into VS code. Just added an extensions to visualize the page, and another to ease the arguments oppening and closing, etc. I write in VSCode and upload all the documents to Neocities everytime, so it is an easier workflow.
So, What I want to say here, on this section I will start listing the changes, and the updates will be by a whole update in the files, instead of me typing, little by little saving it, and my activities page starting to ble cluttered.
- Update 1 - Added a new page (Journal), with intentions to write about my daily life. First update using the VSCodium as the main code platform for the pages.
- Update 2 - Added the Music page with the links and list of commands to download music and own it. Also check the youtube channel where I posted my first Tea Talk discussing a bit about my daily way to listen music, some more journal entries and a bit of Tao study.
- Update 3 - Journal updates and explaining about my view in politics.
Welcome!
Feel at home to my little unadvertised place, this for now is a placeholder for when I try to find time in my life to expand this website, sorry to be blank for a while....
Products Recomendations
Earphones:
TruthEar Zero RED - As we wait for the second version so my ears can enjoy this natural, deep and musical sound longer, this still the best IEM I`ve tried. Even though as I don`t have money to spend on much stuff, this one was the most expensive that I ever bought but the BEST!! Just be aware, the nozzle is big, can sore some ears (like mine, I cannot wear for long sessions).
TRN Conch - Not as the same level of RED, but really good package. Pretty natural with not so much details as the RED, but better cable (with detachable connectors), interchangeable nozzles (wich also makes easier to clean!) and pretty light shell, and a bit cheaper!
TRN EMX - The evolution of the TRN EMA, a bit more expensive, better cables, better housing, way better bass response, great Earbud for daily life if you don't want silicone tips! There is no need to go above this. I dailyed for sometime with an old iPod I'e been gifted. Great combo, incredible battery life (just losing to Uni)
Headphones:
Sony's WH-1000XM5 - I bought in the airport of Heathrow in London. I've been wanting to buy a good pair of phones with great Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). In the airplane going to the airport I seated beside a British man that had one of these, I've tried and was impressed with how it totally nullified the noise of the engines. On my next flight from London to ShangHai I had these on my ears, and I could sleep like a baby. On my way back, I charged up, stepped outside the security check of PuDong Airport, put them on my ears, slept trough 2x 14 hour flghts, arrive at my destination, took a bus, and in the bus, 36 hours later, it finally died. All this time with ANC on!!! Soundwise is decent, the Zero Red have a beter sound and imaging, the Sony is a bit bassy. For my taste I just lowered the bass and elevated a bit on the highs, the imaging is not great, but for the weight, the battery and great ANC, there is nothing compared! (That I've tested or researched!) Another let down it is too plasticky, but its at least of good quality plastics.
Other Audio stuff:
DAP: Hiby R3 II - For those who don't know, DAP is a Digital Audio Player (remember the old MP3 players? But buffed!). This one is a bit outdated, but powerfull enough for any situation you may be, except streaming audio (for this, check the Fiio M21 and the cheap brother JM21, I never used, but it's higly praised). It can works as a music drive (or data) for car audio (or computers), Audio Board for computers, Bluetooth receiver for your equipment connected via 3.5 or 4.4 jack, bluetooth transmiter for your headphones or bluetooth speaker. Can
Bluetooth Speaker: Sony SRS-XB100 - Little mighty. I had a Fugoo, tough and great sound, not that loud as the sony. Sony's is a little more muddier than the fugoo, decent audio quality though.
Speaker System: Edifier S360DB - Great! Best one I ever had. Thinking on buying it's little brother (351) to my parents. Great clarity and the details are amazing with good Unfs of the low end! You don't need anything more than this.
Computer: I just can recommend one brand at this point - Framework. Pricing problems, we can discuss better options, but go for a MSI, good long term durability. Asus is good, but hit or miss, at least you can find easier in Brazil.
Software - Foss software is great, but we also have great paid software, here is what I personally use and recommend:
Proton Suite - THE BEST general online service! Email, Drive, Calendar, VPN, Documents (text and sheet) Wallet (for bitcoin), Meet (Video Calls), Password Manager, and AI. I do use their AI, as the proton brand is pretty focused in privacy, making things encrypted, not taking and selling data, and even managing the best countries to host it's servers because of the laws. Some hardcore people may say they don't trust and etc (and they will say to host yourself, which is true, will be better encrypted and etc, but way harder). But I have not found other alternative better than this one. As always, you can find it here.
Softmaker Office Suite - There is the free option (you can find it here) but I use the NX version, I pay every two years (got a great deal on it, they always have special offerings), and I really enjoy the full suite, and use it to work a lot. Works in almost any OS. It is the best office suite that I've ever used, the PlanMaker only loses a bit for the Excel of microslop (sorry, microsoft) regarding its power. I really enjoy Softmakers offering, if you want the subscription NX you can find it here. Or if you prefer to pay once cry once, check their yearly perpetual offerings. I've used a standalone offering for 3 years before migrating to the NX. Again, you can find it here.
Plasticity - One of the best CAD alternatives for guys who are not very technical or not very artistic (my vision). Perfect middle ground to 3d modelling. Created by an Indie developer and there is no subscription. You can find it here.
File Pilot - If you use windows, just stop using it... but if you need to use it, here is a better alternative to file explorer. Even Microslop recognized as a inspiration to fix its own offering.
Fedora - Linux torvalds uses it. I use it. Does it need better endorsement? Okay, who am I to put myself beside Torvalds. But my motives are: Great balance between bleeding edge and stability. It broke one time with me (my fault, was experimenting on how to change some grub stuff).You can find it here.
Odysseus - I never thought on start using AI more consistenly before this project. I use AI mainly for translation (in my experience it's better than general translation websites services). Mainly I use Lumo (from Proton, most on the free tier, I pay for the company to help summarize some suppliers documents because my boss does not care about information security [I can rant a lot about this] so manual documents from products I do feed Lumo to help) most of the time, but Odysseus, this interface for AI models is awesome. Made to be made local, so I control all the data. The community on it has been hard working, and the most interesting fact is, PewDiePie was the one who developed it!! Give it a try, it is worth it, just make shure you have a pretty decent computer. My poor 970M can only run 4B models reliably T~T. Do not worry, this website still typed fully by my meaty fingers.You can find it here. Also, I had to stop a bit with this project because I really need a better computer. I cannot use any of the advanced features because of it. If you have the means, consider donating.....
Cellphone - Sony Xperia line (I use a 1 Mk6, that I bought used in Taipei, half of the price and I bet it can be used for many years to come). I love my cellphone, to make it better it just need to come with GrapheneOS or another variation.
3D Printers:
List first, explanation later (Check the dedicated Page):
Entry Level - Sovol SV06 ACE!
Big size (350mm³) - Cheap: Sovol SV08
No money problem: Siboor Voron V2.4
Bigger (500m³) - Sovol SV08 MAX
Intermediary/advanced Materials- Cheap: Qidi Q2
No money problem: Visionminer 22 IDEX v4 (this can print any material)
Multimaterial (I do not agree with multicolor) - Cheap: Sovol M1D, not launched but very promissing
No money problem:Prusa
No, I do not receive any money recommending this stuff (I want to, any money is welcomed! Consider donating, hahaha), and I only recommend what I own or tested (and/or believe in the mission). I am a picky buyer, so I will only recommend high quality stuff!
Politics and history
This will be rant/information dumping about countries, politics and a bit of history, this is knowledge that I cumulated over many years diving into many, many rabbit holes. If this get to long I may expand to a dedicated page, hahaha.
First I need to talk on how I view politic positioning. I think the square where you have on the left focus on social problems, right on the economic, Liberal and conservative on old values and new revolutions; it is not the best way to view politics, actually, this is how I see most Brazilians think of, but it is not only historically wrong, it is not fundamentally correct. It started in the past when it appeared in the French Revolution in 1789 with the members of the National Assembly divided between of the supporters of the previous regime in the right and the revolution in the left. But when we started talking about the Political Compass, which is the most famous way to talk about politics, where you define by the square: Left and Right for the Economic Axis and North and South Axis for the Sovereign of the State, as Authoritarian and Libertarian. But in my own personal studies and deep thinking I still believe it does not encompass much of the reality. So here is my opinion, I present you the Political Biparamyd (or Political Prism, as I prefer):
So here is my thinking, you cannot measure morality against authority. In the same way that the Political Compass insert the X Axis as the Economical which is simple: Do you value more to share the enrichments or you value the individual to get rich by himself? The Y Axis, the Morals; are you satisfied with the current or older social morals? Or do you prefer to revolutionize and change everything? Make all new? The Z Axis, the Power of the State; humans need to live in social circles, and we organize by making organizations, we give them moral we call institutions, and the collective of all that with the most power we call State. So, how much power you want your state? All powerfull, that no one can compete against? Authoritarian and your versions... Now you do not want a State at all, my friend welcome to the Anarchist league.
Now the most interesting fact is that if a person cannot view it in the full view, only in 2 axis, so it means that he cannot see depth. If he can only see the X and Y axes, and started seeing their "Favourite Politician" getting more and more to the center, mostly of the times they are moving from the far to the center, but in reality they are moving to the Authoritarian region, and because of this movement in the Z Axis the XY table become smaller and smaller, and the views will start to stay more in the center.
Brazil:
With 2026 Elections going on, I want to first give my support to Renan Santos, the only candidate with a projects for our future, not so much fan of his past, but better than any one else. Bellow is the idea of a article I was writing
Brazil Crisis Script
Intro:
Health Crisis, Economic Crisis, Educational Crisis, Labor Crisis and the cause of it all, the political crisis. In these times, we are entering into several crisis, making the word seem even a synonym for Brazil.
To understand a little better why our country is the way it is today, we have to look to the past. Let's go back even before the Portuguese landed in Brazil, so I'll give you a summary and some facts.
Portugal, the first country to form a state as we know it. And the king made an agreement with the pope to house the Knights Templar who were being imprisoned, thus forming, in 1319, the Order of Christ (whose symbol was the red and white cross). In this order we had various navigators, which became the new explorators for Portugal, and helped not only expand it's empire but also it's routes for trading, making Portugal a go to for specifics. These guys were good, they tend to befriend locals and merge with them than do what the Spanish did: kill them all and colonize the place. Of course, nothing is a sea of roses (brazilian expression, deal with it).
