--- date: 2020-10-30 layout: post title: Seirdy (Rohan Kumar) --- Rohan Kumar : He/Him : Age 20 Online Handle: Seirdy Other versions of this website ------------------------------ This page also exists on the [tildeverse](https://tildeverse.org/), 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. Read about the tildeverse's [origins](https://web.archive.org/web/20180917091804/https://medium.com/message/tilde-club-i-had-a-couple-drinks-and-woke-up-with-1-000-nerds-a8904f0a2ebf), [learn more](http://tilde.club/wiki/faq.html), pick [a tilde](http://tilde.club/%7Epfhawkins/othertildes.html) and [get started](http://tilde.club/~anthonydpaul/primer.html). My Tildeverse pages will serve as a "rough draft". Content on this site also appears on my Gemini space (TODO: link it). Location (Rohan, meatspace) --------------------------- Currently living at home in Cupertino, CA 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: - [Tildeverse](https://envs.net/~seirdy) - [Sourcehut forge](https://sr.ht/~seirdy) - [GitHub forge](https://github.com/Seirdy) - [GitLab forge](https://gitlab.com/Seirdy) - [Fediverse (Pleroma)](https://pleroma.envs.net/seirdy) - [Matrix: @seirdy:envs.net](https://matrix.to/\#/@seirdy:envs.net) - [email](mailto:seirdy@seirdy.one) - [PGP: 36B154A782AEA0AC](../publickey.txt) 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](https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/dotfiles); 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](../music.txt) that I've rated 8/10 or higher in my mpd stickers database, auto-generated by some of my [mpd-scripts](https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/mpd-scripts/tree/master/smart-playlists). 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.
