## Other versions of this website

This page also exists on the tildeverse, a bunch of *nix computers that let people sign up for shell accounts. A typical shell account features clients for IRC and email, common terminal/commandline utilities, and (most importantly) web hosting. My Tildeverse pages will serve as a "rough draft".

Would normally be in Portland, OR during the school year, but COVID-19 happened.

## Location (Seirdy, online)

My handle is "Seirdy" on all the platforms I use:

My username is Seirdy on Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters; my nick is Seirdy on many IRC networks.

My preferred forge for personal projects is Sourcehut, but my repositories have remotes for GitHub and GitLab too.

## Interests, preferences, et cetera

I ought to come up with more interests than these, but that sounds hard.

### Free software

The word "free" in "free software" refers to freedom, not price. I recommend looking it up if you aren't familiar.

I lean towards simplicity; I usually prefer CLIs that follow the UNIX philosophy over TUIs, and TUIs over GUIs. If a piece of software is complex enough to require a funding round, I would rather avoid it. There are exceptions, of course: I use a Linux distro with Systemd (Fedora), after all.

Some software I use: Fedora, Alpine Linux, SwayWM, Pandoc, mpv, mpd, Minetest, Neovim, tmux, newsboat, WeeChat, and zsh.

More information is available in my dotfiles repo; check its README.

### Anime

I watch anime. Some of my favorites, in no particular order:

* Code Geass
* Mawaru Penguindrum
* No Game No Life: Zero
* Black Lagoon
* Ascendance of a Bookworm
* Saga of Tanya the Evil
* Monogatari
* Attack on Titan

### Music

I've put together a periodically-updated list of tracks that I've rated 8/10 or higher in my mpd stickers database:

=> ../music.txt music.txt

It's auto-generated by some of my mpd-scripts:

=> https://git.sr.ht/%7Eseirdy/mpd-scripts/tree/master/smart-playlists mpd-scripts

I'm a fan of glitch, trailer music, and symphonic and power metal; I've also recently been getting into Japanese rock thanks to a few anime openings. Some of my favorite artists are The Glitch Mob, Pretty Lights, Beats Antique, Hammerfall, Badflower, Celldweller/Scandroid, Helloween, Two Steps from Hell, Nightwish, Mili, and MYTH & ROID.
