I'm a sysadmin and this is my site. Posts are added irregularly and without assurance of quality or accuracy. Gopher and Gemini have been binned - however preliminary HTTP/3 support is currently live.

There are various ways you can contact me. I prefer email but you can also reach out via IRC. I check both regularly, and will get back to you when I can. I am not currently looking for a job, so please don't contact me about job opportunities.

Posts I've written can be found below, starting with the most recent at the top. Below that you'll find miscellaneous pages I maintain.

Consider my site available under the GNU Free Documentation License, with the additional restriction that its contents may not be used to train neural networks, language models, or any other form of AI. This restriction is not ideal, but will exist until the legalities of AI and scraping are clearer.
