  8**Warning:** an individual is currently attempting to impersonate me on XMPP and
  9stir up trouble. They've been spamming various groups and posting transphobic,
 10homophobic, and racist content, as well as sending extremely graphic imagery.
 11**This individual is not me.** I do have `amolith@nixnet.services`, but my
 12primary XMPP account is `amolith@secluded.site`. If there's any doubt whether a
 13particular JID is me, please contact `amolith@secluded.site`.

 16## Welcome!

 18My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person, I would
 19be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a musician, developer, sysadmin,
 20co-host of the [Linux Lads] and [Linux Downtime] podcasts, small business owner,
 21and founder of not-for-profit [NixNet.][nn] At the moment, I’m also a university
 22student studying Computer Science. If you're interested in a podcast on personal
 23privacy and security through open source software, keep an eye on
 24[Redacted.Life][rl] for a podcast [Jake Bauer] and I are working on. We're
 25hoping to release the first episode by the ~~beginning~~ middle of 2023.

 62## About the site

 65[Hugo.][hugo] [The theme][theme] is public and available for anyone to use. I'll
 66eventually get it added to [the themes directory][dir] once I clean it up a
 67little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the repo and
 68copy the theme to your site.
