## 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 dedicated Linux
user, musician, sysadmin, and founder of
[NixNet](https://nixnet.services). At the moment, I’m a university
student studying to obtain my Masters degree in Computer Science with a
concentration in Systems. I don’t have much time to play music so it’s
(mostly) an “in my room when I have a few minutes” thing. I also host a
(work-in-progress) netcast called [Redacted
Life](https://redacted.life); the subject is Linux and libre software
with a hard spin on personal privacy and security. Nothing has been
recorded yet but it's in progress.

## Blog

I will occasionally blog here and that content can be found on the
[Posts](/posts) page. Below are a specific few posts that give a good
overview of what I typically write about.

* [Replacing YouTube & Invidious](/replacing-youtube-invidious)
* [Typing International Characters](/typing-international-characters)
* [Consuming News](/consuming-news)
* [On smoking a pipe](/on-smoking-a-pipe)
* [Part of my cellar](/part-of-my-cellar)
