I am Sloan Gray, known online as @styrigx — I like taking things apart to understand them, then putting them back together.

My way of learning: replicate → learn → iterate → filter. Copy it until it runs, understand how it works, make incremental changes, drop what is useless, rebuild from scratch when needed. This carried me through touch typing, Mihomo configs, an invite-code board, and several open-source projects.

Currently working on: an Astro personal hub, a bilingual blog, a Muse tips handbook, textbook knowledge bases, and a clean invite-code sharing board. Everything runs on Cloudflare — no VPS.

From pasted subscriptions to hand-written rules: a mesh-restructured config with policy groups, dynamic pools, and a WARP MASQUE fallback.

The first time I completed the "replicate → learn → iterate" loop. It has been my default way of learning ever since.

Goals

in progress

Now and later:

01

Get styrigx.com

Move the hub to the root domain and the blog to a subdomain, one unified entry.

02

Keep shipping open source

Weekly review for the Muse handbook, keep expanding the textbook bases.

03

Keep writing

Write up the tinkering. Accountable to myself, useful to others.

04

New phone

Waiting for an eSIM-capable device to get a Hong Kong number.

About me

Sloan Gray. The Great Gatsby was my gateway into foreign literature. My motto: "To understand the world, take it apart; to believe in it, put it back together."

Deep in the Samsung ecosystem. I tinker with networks and websites, and turn what I learn into open-source projects.
