I'm just some guy trying to survive college. I barely survived high school, in a country where your grades matter more than your life. I absolutely abhor the current state of society, and wish for something significantly better. I was lucky enough to have a job lined up right after college. I love the job, and can certainly say that it's significantly better and more ethical than most other jobs out there. I used to love physics at one point of time, but eventually left it for my greater love of messing around with computers. I am rediscovering my love for molecular biology.
I maintain a small homeserver and do sysadmin stuff on it. I write code, both at my job and in my free time. Rust at home, Java at work. If I am going to script something, it's probably going to be in nushell, and not anything else. I like messing around with my arch linux installation and the barebones server that I have. I mostly write code at the OS/firmware level, my interests mostly lying in hardware software interfacing, OS/application layer security, drivers and filesystems, high performance computing, and, oddly enough, type theory.
I like travelling and taking photographs for memories' sake. Most of my photographs are private, for obvious reasons. I'm decently okay at cooking, and can cook passable meals for myself. Hosting others, however is probably beyond me. My hobbies are really boring, reading cute and funny books, sometimes thrillers, and watching movies in a similar vein. I like all sorts of music, and my playlists are basically a dump of whatever I like. Lofi mellow tunes are a long time favourite though 😄
You might notice that I keep it very vague. That is because I value my privacy and life too much to not do so. I hate surveillance, both by the state and the capitalistic greedy douchebags. I value freedom and individual expression, and want the society to be free, and above all, conscious of their choices. I try to make sustainable choices everywhere, and believe in a socialist society.
I like to keep things simple. But also cute and aesthetic. This blog is a culmination towards that step. A lot of it is inspired from Jaime's blog, but I've simplified things and use a different approach to most things out here.
The main index.html is written up by hand, and pretty much the entirety of the rest is created using pandoc+pandoc templates+short snippets of JS. The notes and blogposts and such are managed using zk-cli and zk-nvim, and I use markview to pretty render it in neovim. I also use a couple of my own plugins to manage my agendas and TODOs.
