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](gemini://seirdy.one)

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://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.
