> Antibio [(opposite of bio, and much more fun)](https://www.brendangregg.com/antibio.html)

I'm a [university](https://www.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/en) student and general computer nerd. Currently, it seems that operating systems, browsers (how they work, not webdev) old tech and a teeny weeny bit of server administration and embeded systems interest me.

I have a good amount of [projects under my belt](https://gitlab.com/users/Syndamia/projects), although very few are actually useful. I've put down the more notable ones [here](/software), but [filite-list](https://github.com/Syndamia/filite-list) and [min-youtube-element-blocker](https://github.com/Syndamia/min-youtube-element-blocker) seems to have gotten the most attention (if any).

As for what exactly you can expect in the future, anything goes really. I've done professional-ish web development (back-end + front-end), embeded programming (ok, it might've been a singular Arduion, but thats still embeded!), a whole lot of scripting (even a bit of Batch scripting), more server and system configuring that I would ever want, I have even written in [Haskell](https://gitlab.com/Syndamia/algorithms/-/blob/master/Haskell/LINQuistics.hs) (yes, I'm still proud of this code, yes it can be improved, shut up). So, who knows what's gonna be next.

However there isn't too much I can show now, especially as content on this website... But hey, you gotta start somewhere!

> Setup

I have a desktop (old dude, Intel Core i3-4160, 8GiB RAM and AMD Radeon Sapphire RX256) and a laptop (Lenovo Yoga S730), both running Linux.

My current distribution of choice is Funtoo (for desktop, Debian for servers), but I used to main Linux Mint and Fedora.

As for desktop environment, I don't use any. I always start from a blank, terminal-only install and setup my stuff from there. More notably, I use Openbox as my window manager and lightdm as my display manager. Also vim as my text editor/IDE. You can explore my dotfiles [here](https://gitlab.com/Syndamia/dotfiles) and the applications I use [here](https://gitlab.com/Syndamia/dotfiles/-/blob/main/README.md)
