About my GitHub presence

I moved my personal repositories to SourceHut; you can access them here.

I try to decrease my use of and reliance on GitHub. I currently only use it to follow projects hosted on GitHub, and to contribute to some of them.

To learn about the problems with GitHub, I recommend that you read this article. (It also contains links to other articles on the same topic.)

About me

My name is Solt Budavári (pronounced as "sholt"). I am a free software enthusiast.

My main interests (within IT) are:

  • free (as in freedom) operating systems

    I like and use Linux-based operating systems, I'm most familiar with Debian and its derivatives.

    I'm also interested in BSD's, mostly in OpenBSD.

    I use the OpenWRT router firmware where I can.

  • free (as in freedom) software

  • plain-text based document creation and software configuration

    • light-weight markup languages like Markdown and AsciiDoc

    • converting light-weight markup documents to other formats with software such as lowdown or Pandoc.

    • creating web sites from light-weight markup documents with software such as MkDocs or ssg.

    • plain-text configuration files

      Plain-text configuration files can (in better cases) be read by humans, they can be modified by standard tools working with plain text, and they can be committed to a version control system.

    • infrastructure as code

      Using plain-text files to describe the state/configuration of systems can help create automated and version-controlled workflows, which means less manual work, and more transparency and ease of reproduction. See e.g. Ansible and YAML.

  • automation -- because manual work is a bug. :)
