about
Build stuff. Fix broken systems. Automate repetitive garbage.
I maintain packages for Void Linux because someone has to do it.
Most of my time is spent making servers not crash and writing scripts so I don’t have to do the same thing twice.
work
Enterprise deployment frameworks, monitoring systems, custom automation tools.
Windows Server orchestration, Linux infrastructure management, CI/CD pipelines.
The boring but critical stuff that actually pays the bills.
this website
could and perhaps will contain satirical content
Created by mist - mini static site generator. Written in 111 lines of Go that converts markdown to HTML with automatic cross-page navigation. I find this name particulary fitting, since mist in german means crap.
I build this piece of software that way cause simple tools are reliable tools. No build system, no framework dependencies, no configuration files. One binary, one command, one purpose. You can read and understand the entire codebase in 10 minutes. When something breaks, you know exactly where to look and how to fix it.
Most static site generators are 50MB downloads with hundreds of dependencies. This is 2MB and uses only Go’s standard library plus a markdown parser.
If you need more than HTML+CSS for a personal site, you’re probably solving the wrong problem.
This site has no cookies, no tracking, no bs. Just text

mksh - MirBSD Korn Shell. Prompt shows exit codes when commands fail - actually useful for debugging shell scripts and command chains.
