### 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.
My current interests include: operating systems, functional programming, webdev (without **any** libraries, pure JavaScript), old tech, some amount of server administration and a teeny weeny bit of computer history.

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) seem to have gotten the most attention (if any).

As for what exactly you can expect in the future, anything goes really.
I've done a lot of low(er)-level programming, a bit less functional programming, professional-ish web development (back-end + front-end), a whole lot of scripting and more server/system administration that I would ever want.
So, who knows what's gonna be next.

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

### Setup

The machines I own and use are:

1. Once prebuilt, now personally upgraded, desktop PC from 2015
   - Intel Core i3-4160
   - 16GiB RAM, DDR3
   - AMD Radeon Sapphire RX256

2. The very powerfull and tiny Lenovo Yoga S730 from 2019
   - Intel Core i7-8565U
   - 16 GiB RAM, DDR4

3. A significantly less powerful, but immensly more useful and nicer to work with Lenovo ThinkPad X270
   - Intel Core i5-6300U
   - 16 GiB RAM, DDR4
   - 1080p screen (aftermarket replacement)

All of them use Linux.
My current desktop distribution of choice is [Gentoo](https://www.gentoo.org/), but I used to main [Linux Mint](https://linuxmint.com/), [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/) and [Funtoo](https://www.funtoo.org/Welcome) (in that order).
For servers, I use Debian, though I have used Ubuntu.

As for a desktop environment, I use Openbox (which is a WM, I know) alongside mostly Gnome applications.
The [exact (Gentoo) packages](https://gitlab.com/Syndamia/dotfiles/-/blob/main/.b/etc/portage/sets/openbox-de) as well as a [more general package list](https://gitlab.com/Syndamia/dotfiles/-/blob/main/.c/Application%20Stack.md) is available online, in my [dotfiles](https://gitlab.com/Syndamia/dotfiles).

My primary text editor is [vim](https://www.vim.org/) and shell is [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/).
