## 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".

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
|
|

|
|
|
|
Written in Go.
|
|
|
|
## Interests, preferences, et cetera
|
|
|
|
I ought to come up with more interests than these, but that sounds hard.
|
|
|
|
### Inclusive design
|
|
|
|
I care a lot about accessibility, resource usage, and compatibility. My Web site may seem simple, but I put over 15 thousand words of thought into its design:
|
|
|
|
=> gemini://seirdy.one/2020/11/23/website-best-practices.gmi
|
|
|
|
Many people frame accessibility and compatibility in terms of "percentage of users impacted" to justify ignoring certain demographics. I find that this mindset somewhat discriminatory. I prefer framing concerns in terms of "populations excluded".
|
|
|
|
### 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:
|
|
|
|
=> gemini://seirdy.one/2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.gmi Whatsapp and the domestication of users
|
|
|
|
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; check its README.

|
### Anime

|
|
|
* Code Geass
|
|
* Mawaru Penguindrum
|
|
* No Game No Life: Zero

|
* Darling in the Franxx

|
* Black Lagoon
|
|
* Serial Experiments Lain
|
|
* Saga of Tanya the Evil
|
|
* Monogatari

|
|
|
|
### 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.
