Welcome! §

My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person, I would be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a musician, co-host of the Linux Lads and Linux Dev Time podcasts, and founder of not-for-profit NixNet. I’m also a software engineer and devrel at Charm and member-owner of MBOA, a wonderful co-op that creates JMP.chat (self-promo ahead). JMP gives you a regular phone number that people can call and text and you receive those on any device you have a Jabber client on. Optionally included with the $5/mo subscription is your own Snikket server for yourself, family, and friends.

Blog §

I will occasionally blog here and that content can be found on the Posts page. Below are a specific few posts that give a good overview of what I typically write about.

• Pull vs push: intentional notifications
• (Ab)using mesh networks for easy remote support
• Replacing YouTube & Invidious
• Typing International Characters

About the site §

Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with Hugo. The theme is public and available for anyone to use. I’ll eventually get it added to the themes directory once I clean it up a little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the repo and copy the theme to your site.

All of the code is released under the MIT license and the content here is CC-BY 4.0. Source for everything is available on my Forgejo instance.

Contact §

I can be contacted through many methods but the most reliable, instant, and my most preferred is Jabber. In order of preference…

1. Jabber: amolith@secluded.site
   Note that an individual has been impersonating me on Jabber for a long while, spamming homophobic, transphobic, and racist content, as well as sending extremely graphic imagery. This individual is not me. If there’s any doubt whether a particular JID is me, please contact the JID above.
2. atproto: @secluded.site
3. Email: amolith@secluded.site
   If you want encrypted email, my age public keys are here on my website.
