#introductions

For the newbies. Ugh, well, what to say? I'm a Free Software hacker. I use a mechanical keyboard and trackball and I am an Arch/Parabola user. In a former incarnation I mostly did industrial robotics and computer vision, but now I'm mostly interested in self-hosting and things pertaining to running communications systems.

I've always been interested in self-organizing systems and emergent processes. Systems which try to survive. This is the commonality across the various things I've done.

• Buzz words
• Bureaucracy

My main projects are !Freedombone, a self-hosting system for home servers and libdeep, a C/C++ library for deep learning.
