In Flutter, it is possible to create some exciting animations quite simply. It might seem slightly roundabout initially, but it is intuitive once you understand what is happening. For example, if you need a fade animation, you can use FadeTransition to create this. You need to have an AnimationController and a CurvedAnimation to build it inside a StatefulWidget with the SingleTickerProviderStateMixin for it to work, but once it is set up it is extendable.

Creating a selfhosted VPN is actually quite easy, at least with linode (not sponsored). I will try to summarize how I selfhosted a VPN, and the problems I faced. Server Setup I used a Linode Video to get started. I will go skim through the steps regardless. click on “Create a Linode” (or something, I forgot) From the marketplace select OpenVPN Fill in necessary fields Choose the OS and type of server you want, I chose a Nanode(the cheapest one).

Finalizing choice for hosting service I finally decided to use Digital Ocean’s “App Platform” to host this blog site. So this is currently available on both github pages and DO. This is just a small update to keep you in The Loop. Anyways, I feel like I got this out of my chest so now I can start writing some more meaningful blogs that might be more relevant to coding and stuff.
