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), read [the FAQ](https://tilde.club/wiki/faq.html), pick [a tilde](https://tilde.club/%7Epfhawkins/othertildes.html) and [get started](https://tilde.club/~anthonydpaul/primer.html). My Tildeverse pages will serve as a "rough draft".

My handle is "Seirdy" on all the platforms I use.
|
|
|
|
- The [Tildeverse](https://envs.net/~seirdy).
|
|
- Software forges: [Sourcehut](https://sr.ht/~seirdy), [GitHub](https://github.com/Seirdy), [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/Seirdy), and [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/Seirdy).
|
|
- Social (federated): I'm [@Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net](https://pleroma.envs.net/seirdy) on the Fediverse.
|
|
- Social (non-federated): I'm Seirdy on [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Seirdy), [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs/u/Seirdy), [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/Seirdy/), [Tildes.net](https://tildes.net/user/Seirdy), and Linux Weekly News.
|
|
- Email: my address is <seirdy@seirdy.one>. I typically sign my emails with my public PGP key: [1E892DB2A5F84479](./publickey.asc). My key is also available via WKD.
|
|
- Chat: for IRC, my nick is Seirdy on Libera.chat, Snoonet, OFTC, Tilde.Chat, and a few smaller networks. I'm also [@seirdy:seirdy.one](https://matrix.to/#/@seirdy:seirdy.one) on Matrix.
|
|
|
|
My secondary Matrix account for Synapse-only rooms is `@seirdy:fairydust.space`. My Matrix account used to be `@seirdy:envs.net` but I've since migrated to my own Conduit server.
|
|
|
|
If you find a "Seirdy" somewhere else and don't know whether or not it's me, please contact me and ask instead of assuming that it must be me.
|
|
|
|
My preferred forge for personal projects is Sourcehut, but my repositories have remotes for GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg too.

Selected projects
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
### [Clogstats](https://sr.ht/~seirdy/clogstats/)
|
|
|
|
Analyze WeeChat logs to quantify, graph, forecast, and perform anomaly-detection on IRC channel activity. Written in Python; uses Pandas.
|
|
|
|
### [MOAC](https://sr.ht/~seirdy/MOAC/)
|
|
|
|
Generate passwords and analyze password strength given physical limits to computing. Based on a weblog/gemlog entry: [Becoming physically immune to brute-force attacks](https://seirdy.one/2021/01/12/password-strength.html). Written in Go.
|
|
|
|
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. That being said, I think that simply meeting the definition of free software isn't enough: it's one of multiple requirements for software to avoid the possibility of [user domestication](https://seirdy.one/2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.html).
|
|
|
|
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, mpv, mpd, Minetest, Neovim, tmux, newsboat, WeeChat, Foot, and zsh.
|
|
|
|
More information is available in my [dotfiles repo](https://sr.ht/~seirdy/dotfiles); check its README.

### Anime

|
|

|
### 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.
