 6## Welcome!

 8My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person, I would
 9be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a musician, developer, sysadmin,
10co-host of the [Linux Lads,](https://linuxlads.com) small business owner, and
11founder of not-for-profit [NixNet.](https://nixnet.services) At the moment, I’m
12also a university student studying Computer Science. If you're interested in a
13podcast on personal privacy and security through open source software, keep an
14eye on [Redacted.Life](https://redacted.life) for a podcast [Jake
15Bauer](https://paritybit.ca) and I are working on. We're hoping to release the
16first episode in the beginning of 2023.

43## About the site
44
45Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with
46[Hugo.](https://gohugo.io/) [The
47theme](https://git.nixnet.services/Amolith/secluded/src/branch/master/themes/secluded)
48is public and available for anyone to use. I'll eventually get it added
49to [the themes directory](https://themes.gohugo.io/) once I clean it up
50a little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the
51repo and copy the theme to your site.
