Minersphere
Welcome to the only place where the Itlasi run free.
Hi! I am
The high quality content on this site is hosted in the general Index section, which has subsections on Mathematics and Linguistics. There's also some other less quality content in the Miscellaneous section, created in the very beginning of this site's history back in late 2022.
Minersphere is hosted by my friend Sojens and developed entirely by me using raw HTML, CSS and PHP (last used mostly for automation), although Sojens did help me with the PHP backend early on.
About me
I was born in 2008 at the age of zero, with my Martian star sign being Aquarius. Like most people of my generation, I started using technology at a very young age, getting a laptop with Ubuntu 12 from my mother by around 2013, of which all data was lost due to Hard Drive Collapse™. I then got a proper computer with Windows and Ubuntu from my father in early 2016, whose data is thankfully still safe. I had it for two years before getting my current one in early 2018.
I started my programming journey in 2020, first using Python. I don't remember why I started in the first place, maybe to make some game? Really don't know. Anyways, in 2021 I started to learn C++ by making a Hyperrogue mod, which went well but was unfortunately left unfinished. Since Hyperrogue's codebase is written mostly like C code, I also started learned C by extension. Even today, these two languages (Python and C) are still my favorite programming languages. Returning to my computer, in July 2022 I finally got rid of Windows and started using Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) full-time. Of course, like any migration to Linux, I did have to give up some program I used, that being paint.net, which somehow no one has gotten it to run on Linux. A few months later, Sojens gave me the Minersphere subdomain to tinker with, which made me better at HTML and web development in general.
Fast forward two years to February 2024, I switched from Ubuntu to Mint due to Ubuntu's "shadiness". Later that year in June–July, I started really getting into 4D, probably because of Kyle Hill's video on the tesseract. Not long after that, I got into polytopology, which not only made me more interested in mathematics than I already was but also made me open a geometry section on Minersphere, which reignited my interest in developing the site.
Other pieces of trivia about me include:
- I am Brazilian;
- I am male, my WOKE pronounce are he/him;
- I am asexual (chastity is not woke);
- I am an agnostic atheist (technically also a Catholic since I am baptized and chrismated);
- My favorite video games are Minecraft, Geometry Dash and Terraria;
- Currently, my favorite musician is Kane Pixels, my favorites of his being Commuter Lane and A Job in Silicon Valley, 198X. This changes frequently;
- As of writing this at 00:55:52 11/05/2025 (UTC-03), I have ran out of things to say.

Darflen - Paradock's site, Twitter clone
Dervland - Derv's site, whatever I list about it here will probably be inaccurate in a couple months
Fifty Third Dimension - Tessimal's site, has various mathematics and geometry pages
Sojens' various sites - Ranges from social media, stories and some games
