`""""Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface."
— Doug McIlroy (Unix Philosophy)
- 🐧 Free Software First: Staunch believer in user autonomy, open auditability, and software freedom governed under copyleft (GNU GPLv3).
- ⚡ Local-First & Offline-Ready: Prioritizing tools that operate without telemetry, subscription walled-gardens, or vendor lock-in.
- 🗄️ Homelabbing & Self-Hosting: Running independent services, experimenting with private cloud infra, and reclaiming the Indie Web.
- 🔐 Entropy & Cryptography: Exploring hardware-level primitives, CPU on-chip randomness (
RDRAND), and distributed cryptographic integrity.
