 7## Welcome!

 9My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person, I would
10be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a musician, developer, sysadmin,
11co-host of the [Linux Lads,][ll] small business owner, and founder of
12not-for-profit [NixNet.][nn] At the moment, I’m also a university student
13studying Computer Science. If you're interested in a podcast on personal privacy
14and security through open source software, keep an eye on [Redacted.Life][rl]
15for a podcast [Jake Bauer][jb] and I are working on. We're hoping to release the
16first episode by the ~~beginning~~ middle of 2023.

52## About the site
53
54Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with
55[Hugo.][hugo] [The theme][theme] is public and available for anyone to use. I'll
56eventually get it added to [the themes directory][dir] once I clean it up a
57little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the repo and
58copy the theme to your site.
