--- title: Welcome! layout: home cover: ./cover.png --- ## 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] I also work with [MBOA,][m] a wonderful co-op that creates [JMP.chat][JMP] (self-promo ahead). [JMP] gives you a regular phone number that people can call and text and you receive those on any device you have [an XMPP client] on. Optionally included with the $5/mo subscription is your own [Snikket] server for yourself, family, and friends.

[posts]: /posts - [Pull vs push: intentional notifications](/pull-vs-push-intentional-notifications/) - [(Ab)using mesh networks for easy remote support](/abusing-mesh-networks-for-easy-remote-support) - [Replacing YouTube & Invidious](/replacing-youtube-invidious) - [Typing International Characters](/typing-international-characters) ## 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.

In order of preference… 1. **XMPP:** `amolith@secluded.site` 2. **Email:** `amolith@secluded.site` If you wanted encrypted email, my [age] public keys are [here on my website.](/age.keys) 3. **IRC:** `amolith` on [Libera] and [NixNet] 4. **Matrix:** `@_bifrost_amolith=40secluded.site:aria-net.org` If you absolutely must contact me over Matrix, do so through an XMPP bridge like the one above.
