I am a Clinical Physiologist by trade^W^W^W^W Computer Science student majoring in Software Engineering
who enjoys hacking on code.
My preferred language by a very wide margin is ANSI C, but I am also comfortable with C++, D, Java, Python, shell, and LaTeX.
I recently gave Golang a spin but dislike it a bit or two less than Python
(although its simplicity is nice and it makes creating web apps really easy).
My daily driver is a ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 i7-1260P, and on the run I'll sometimes use my
X1 Carbon--both are running OpenBSD current. I also have an iMac
and MacBook Pro, both of which are rarely used. I administer several servers
in various locations, one of which hosts this site; others include my mail
server, name server, fossil and git servers, and Game of Trees mirrors.
As a supporter of free and open source software, I hack on different projects; chief among them are Game of Trees and Fossil. I have also authored projects I hope others enjoy using. Some of these can be found on the projects page.
This site was initially created due to a dearth of up-to-date and reliable OpenBSD guides; admittedly, this is because it just works and works really well! Not to mention, exceptional documentation in the OpenBSD FAQ and manual pages already provide what is needed. Invariably, however, further explanation and/or tweaks are desired, and documenting such information may benefit my future self–if not other users–in the administration of OpenBSD boxen. Its purpose may since have evolved, but bsdbox is still largely focused on OpenBSD and hacking in general.
As an Internet privacy advocate with concerns over user privacy in the digitial milieu of the Internet Age, I observe a set of principles; the following items define the subset that pertains to the protection of privacy in the administration of this site:
- no data collection beyond the
httpdlog that records date, time, source IP address, and http request; - no data sharing with any third-party;
- no data solicitation;
- clear and transparent policy regarding privacy; and
- any extremely unlikely reproduction of the aforementioned data will be anonymised and only released to this site for educational and/or entertainment purposes.
As a parallel, there will be no attempt to use site engagement for marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes.
Please shoot me an email if you have any questions or would like to collaborate.
