 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,][ll] small business owner, and founder of
11not-for-profit [NixNet.][nn] At the moment, I’m also a university student
12studying Computer Science. If you're interested in a podcast on personal privacy
13and security through open source software, keep an eye on [Redacted.Life][rl]
14for a podcast [Jake Bauer][jb] and I are working on. We're hoping to release the
15first episode in the beginning of 2023.

51## About the site

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