 6## Welcome!
 7
 8My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person,
 9I would be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a dedicated Linux
10user, musician, sysadmin, and founder of
11[NixNet.](https://nixnet.services) At the moment, I’m a university
12student studying Computer Science with plans of becoming a systems
13architect in the future. I don’t have much time to play music so it’s
14(mostly) an “in my room when I have a few minutes” thing. I also host a
15(work-in-progress) netcast called [Redacted
16Life;](https://redacted.life) the subject is Linux and libre software
17with a hard spin on personal privacy and security. Nothing has been
18recorded yet but it's in progress.

42## About the site
43
44Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with
45[Hugo.](https://gohugo.io/) [The
46theme](https://git.nixnet.services/Amolith/secluded/src/branch/master/themes/secluded)
47is public and available for anyone to use. I'll eventually get it added
48to [the themes directory](https://themes.gohugo.io/) once I clean it up
49a little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the
50repo and copy the theme to your site.
