about me

Who am I?

I am a 30 year old tech enthusiast currently living in Canada. I graduated with a BA from the University of Victoria in British Columbia and have lived in the United States and Japan. I am supporter of Free Software and exclusively run distributions of the GNU/Linux operating system on my personal computers. For ethical reasons, I implore others to do the same, though I realize this isn't always practical in all use-cases. In my free time I enjoy photography (though I am not very good at it) and reading (currently Richard Dolan's The Alien Agendas). I am also a fan of films by David Lynch and Anno Hideaki.

My Computer:

I currently use an Asus Zephyrus G14 running Debian as my main machine. I chose this notebook because it has a relatively efficient but powerful CPU that can compile programs and encode video quickly. The discrete GPU is nice for CUDA applications as well, though in the future I will likely be looking for a machine without Nvidia hardware due to their extremely poor GNU/Linux support. I also have a Lenovo Thinkpad X200t, T450s, and a Raspberry Pi 4 which I use as a file server.
