Plugged Into Matrix

Hey, it’s Fahim Montasir Misbah. This blog is actually a dumpster. I write about a lot of stuffs, and I’ll dump some of them here when I feel like it. So more likely this place will become a mess over time. And there’s also a Bangla section that you can look over. Make yourself at home, have a good day! :)

How was my IELTS experience and others

Under any circumstances, I’m not the person to give IELTS suggestions to anyone, but the least I could do is share my experience and understanding. Also, one of the biggest reasons for posting this everywhere is that I don’t want others to fall into the same situation as I did. If they do, at least they can get some direction on what to do afterward. My actual exam date was 7th April, which I couldn’t attend because I was so dumb that I didn’t bring my passport with me....

Absolute Basics of MPV

For media players there are plenty of options to choose from. But I like to stick with mpv, mostly because it’s absolutely minimal and higly configurable. It doesn’t have an UI like VLC or Pot Player, but it’s very easy to use and you’re not bound to anything, write your scripts and configure as you want. If you don’t know scripting, mpv-scripts have got you covered with a huge collection of scripts from the community....

My Take on Demolition

I finished watching Demolition (2015) today starring Jake Gyllenhaal. I had never experienced like this before. Or maybe I did; I just don’t remember those moments. I felt connected to the story, to Davis’s feelings. It was like I was realizing every moment, and everything happened around it. Some parts were related to my life or maybe not, it just feels like it is. Sometimes you’ll never know what something meant to you until you lose it....

Movies That I Don't Want You To Miss Out

Watched some great movies recently, and I feel like I really should share my thoughts about them with others. I don’t want anyone to miss out on these films. They are not listed in any particular order. Prisoners (2013) It’s a crime thriller, Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal are in the starring that’s quite enough to make me convince watching this movie. And I must say, I enjoyed every second. Actually it’s not about prison as the name suggests, it’s about abduction of children by serial killer....

z-lib isn't dead (yet)

Disclaimer : This post is not something noob friendly, I won’t give explanation to everything. Find out yourself. You might have heard FBI seized Z-library aka z-lib a week ago. Pretty devastating situation for a lot of people, everyone is mourning over z-lib’s death. People are blaming Coleen Hoover fans on TikTok for this demise (I don’t like her writings TBH). Anyway, there is more to the story. Z-lib isn’t actually dead....

Make YouTube Great Again w/ userscripts

It takes at least three addons to make YouTube bearable for me (e.g. Enhancer for YouTube, Return YouTube Dislike, SponsorBlock for YouTube, Improve YouTube) which is too much just for a single website. The easiest solution would be to start using Invidious or Piped instances. They are pretty great, no addons required to remove ads or sponsors or anything. Not a fan of their UI though, it bugs me during watching a video and I don’t want to missout liking or disliking videos, commenting, creating a playlist and other basic features that YouTube provides....
