## Welcome!

My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person, I would
be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a musician, developer, sysadmin,
co-host of the [Linux Lads] and [Linux Downtime] podcasts, small business owner,
and founder of not-for-profit [NixNet.][nn] At the moment, I’m also a university
student studying Computer Science. If you're interested in a podcast on personal
privacy and security through open source software, keep an eye on
[Redacted.Life][rl] for a podcast [Jake Bauer] and I are working on. We're
hoping to release the first episode by the ~~beginning~~ middle of 2023.

## About the site

Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with
[Hugo.][hugo] [The theme][theme] is public and available for anyone to use. I'll
eventually get it added to [the themes directory][dir] once I clean it up a
little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the repo and
copy the theme to your site.
