Friendly greetings!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm Ariadne Conill, the operator of this website.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have spent the majority of my life hacking on [free software][fs].
|
||
|
|
My work includes starting [the IRCv3 project][ircv3], writing a lot
|
||
|
|
of the code commonly used on IRC servers, writing [Audacious][aud]
|
||
|
|
(a popular music player for Unix-like systems), [libucontext][luc],
|
||
|
|
[pkgconf][pc], [ifupdown-ng][ing] and several other key components
|
||
|
|
of the [Alpine Linux system][al]. Additionally, I have contributed
|
||
|
|
numerous security, robustness and privacy fixes to federated
|
||
|
|
software such as Mastodon and Pleroma, and standards such as
|
||
|
|
ActivityPub. In a past life, I was a Debian contributor, but have
|
||
|
|
been working on Alpine exclusively since 2010.

|
||
|
|
on improving container base images and software distribution
|
||
|
|
ecosystems.

I'm `Ariadne` on most IRC networks. Until May 22, 2021, this
|
||
|
|
included freenode, but anybody on freenode past this date using
|
||
|
|
that nickname is likely an impersonator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also email me at ariadne -at- dereferenced.org.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also founded a community of like-minded folks that presently
|
||
|
|
use [Discord][dt]. Please read the rules before participating.
