so who am i

started coding at 10 to cheat in runescape :3 now i'm 27 and i have a server rack in my basement that could probably run a small country. the basement has zero ventilation. i pretend not to notice (pls dont explode).

one person. one extremely overkill setup. dual AMD EPYC 7763s, 2TB of RAM, seven enterprise SSDs, and six RTX 8000s for AI stuff. total cluster pulls about 3kW when everything's humming. my electricity provider loves me.

when something breaks at 3 AM, i'm the one waking up to a hundred discord pings. good times.

i skip docker because it breaks in weird ways on windows. i avoid cloud mystery bills that show up and make me cry. it's just windows server 2019, node.js, and a whole lot of "why did this work yesterday?"

stuff i built

AI Platform

chat.senpai-creations.com - talk to an LLM for free. simple signup, no tracking.

why: every service wanted money or my data. i got bored and threw my own together.

specs: six RTX 8000s, 48GB each. 288GB total VRAM. yeah. it's a bit much.

yes, it's overkill: could've bought a used car instead. chose to run language models in my room like a normal person. electricity bill is fun to explain. worth it to avoid paying openai $20/month though. use it for: chatting with AI without giving away your data, testing prompts, general LLM stuff. don't use it for: anything illegal because logs exist (even if they're wiped daily). server's in my house, not some offshore bunker.

File Sharing

files.senpai-creations.com - upload up to 1GB, gone in 3 hours. free temporary file hosting.

why: was bored. figured why not build my own instead of dealing with google drive's nonsense.

storage: 30GB rotating cache. files auto-delete after 3 hours. perfect for quick transfers without cloud BS.

yes, 3 hours: if you're complaining about free temporary storage not being permanent, you fundamentally misunderstand what "temporary" means. buy dropbox premium or set up your own NAS. expecting infinite free storage is peak entitlement. use it for: quick transfers, large videos, bypassing discord compression. don't use it for: your backup solution because you're too cheap for cloud storage.

Youtube to MP3/MP4 etc.

convert.senpai-creations.com - download and convert videos from any platform. no ads, no tracking, no bullshit.

why: every converter site is a malware-ridden ad-fest that sells your data. built this clean alternative because dealing with corporate greed is exhausting.

tech: yt-dlp and a lot of patience.

Supports: YouTube, TikTok, Facebook
Instagram, Twitter and Reddit

This Hub

hub.senpai-creations.com - you're looking at it. a single page so i stop forgetting what i've built.

why: my memory is garbage and my friends got tired of asking "what's that project link again?"

tech: eleventy because manually editing HTML is for people with more patience than me.

yes, it's basic: could've made it fancy with react and 47 dependencies. chose a static site instead because i'm not a masochist. loads in 0.2 seconds. your SPA wishes. updates: whenever i remember this exists or build something new. last update was probably months ago. you're lucky it still works. might add dark mode eventually. probably won't.

how stuff gets made (it's a mess)

idea hits at 2 AM. i write it down in a .txt file i'll lose. a week later i find it and think "oh right, that."

first version is held together with prayers and console.log statements. i use it anyway because i'm stubborn.

friend asks about it. i show them. they break it immediately in ways i didn't think were possible.

i fix the bugs, slap a 1.0 on it, and push it live. then i forget about it until it either catches fire or someone actually uses it.

repeat forever because apparently i can't stop

the damage (monthly)

i pay for all of this because apparently i hate having money :')

• Colocation: $80 (rack space for the beast)
• Electricity: ~$300 (that 3kW cluster isn't cheap to feed)
• Domains: $50/year
• Total monthly pain: Around $380

when donations cover it, i breathe easier. when they don't, i still keep everything running and figure it out. this is not a business. this is a hobby that got way out of hand.

support (if you want to)

buy me a coffee if you want. helps with server costs and makes me feel slightly less insane for running this stuff.

can't donate? no problem. just use the tools. tell me when they break. that's honestly more useful than money sometimes.

patreon tiers? discord communities? not my thing. i just... build stuff and put it online. it's worked so far.
