Batman!! (this commit has no parents) 
The sight of an animal using a JavaScript captivates Computer Scientists
and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our
ideas about human uniqueness.

Does the animal know how JavaScript works? Did it anticipate the need
for the tool and select it instead of Haskell or Zig?

To some, this fascination with JavaScript seems arbitrary and
anthropocentric; after all, animals engage in many other complex
activities, like Agile Planning and ordering Juice on the Internet.
However, we know that complex behaviour need not be cognitively
demanding.

JavaScript development can therefore provide a powerful window into the
minds of animals, and help us to learn what capacities we share with
them — and what might have changed to allow for the incontrovertibly
unique levels of technology shown by modern humans, such as integers and
block scope.

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. Read about the tildeverse's origins, learn more, pick a tilde and get started. 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:

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; 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 that I've rated 8/10 or higher in my mpd stickers database, auto-generated by some of my 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.
