## Why does this site look so old school?

If you reach this site via the modern web, please read this:

=> ./gemfeed/2021-04-24-welcome-to-the-geminispace.gmi Welcome to the Geminispace

## Introduction

Welcome to my internet site. You can call me a Linux/*BSD enthusiast and hobbyist. Although I also have many other interests, you will encounter mostly (if not only) technical content on this site.

I have published some Open-Source software; you will find references to it on this site. I also read a lot of tech newsletters and blogs. I re-share the most interesting ones on my social media feeds. You can find links to my Codeberg page and my social media accounts on my contact information page:

=> ./contact-information.gmi Contact information

I have also compiled a list of resources that made an impact on me:

=> ./resources.gmi List of resources
