Thank you

Systems become more powerful by being open and shareable, just like good science. In a futile attempt to list the free and open source software projects and people I benefit from, I am deeply grateful to:

• All the work enabled by foundations such as GNU
• Florian Jacob for invaluable discussions that got me started with self-hosting
• Arch Linux and its various communities that power my personal machines
• The Python community that supports the majority of my computations nowadays; albeit with a melancholic nostalgia to Perl’s line noise aesthetics that I left behind, being led astray at an impressionable age by a webcomic
• NixOS that runs the server
• nginx that serves you the webpage you are reading right now (you’re welcome)
• Fundamentally the Linux kernel
• The neo keyboard layout
• (neo)vim, which is objectively the best text editor after cat(1)
• hugo for generating the website contents
• Syncthing that keeps my machines in unison
