Minersphere

Welcome to the only place where the Itlasy run free.

Hi! I am Linsinite, also previously known as MinersHavenM43. I am interested in mathematics, physics, programming, and linguistics, and this site is dedicated to these topics, especially mathematics as that is my main interest right now.

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 (latter used mostly for automation), although they did help me with the PHP backend early on.

Accessility note: the default styling of site is very inaccessible to people with vision issues. To this end there is an alternative style sheet, which in Firefox can be accessed in the View → Page Style menu. It is a bit clunky to activate, but it seems to be good enough to read comfortably according to the person who asked for this.

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 unfortunately 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 in an unused hard drive within my current computer. 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 learning 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 managed to run on Linux. A few months later in October, Sojens gave me the Minersphere subdomain on his Lunarsphere domain 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, reigniting my interest in developing the site. The year 2025 was a golden age for the site, with every single month having at least one page published. This streak ended in February 2026 though, as I got somewhat burnt out of the site. I will still occasionally add content to it, though.

Other pieces of trivia about me include:

Friends' sites
