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), read [the FAQ](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)
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.
- 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: [36B154A782AEA0AC](./publickey.asc). My key is also available via WKD.
- Chat: my nick is Seirdy on most IRC networks. If you don't like IRC, I'm also [@seirdy:envs.net](https://matrix.to/\#/@seirdy:envs.net) on Matrix. I generally prefer IRC to Matrix, and don't check Matrix very often.
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 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
- Serial Experiments Lain
- 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.
