Hi there,

I registered yesterday, but forgot to introduce myself.
I'm basically an independent student who loves infrastructure and low-level stuff (OSs, protocols, coding theory, etc). I started using Linux ~5 years ago and I've been exploring all sorts of systems ever since. I try to follow the Unix philosophy as depicted by Ken, Ritchie et al with Research UNIX at Bell Labs, and even further with Plan 9 (which is more Unixy than UNIX itself. :P)

I've been doing all sorts of things, from web development (I spent a lot of time and now I hate it) to assembly language and very simple hardware stuff. My "holy trinity" (kind of) is shell scripting (dash and mksh mostly), C and Go.

I also consider security a very important matter, and the Unix way helps with a lot of related issues, as the lack of simplicity and readability are at the root of most breaches.

These days I'm focused on maths, trying to understand better how this discrete machines work and communicate, and how they could help us improve our capabilities instead of owning us (cyberpunk is happening! /o\).

If you want to talk, you can always ping me on IRC or send me an email. :)


Have a nice day,
