## Presentation

Hello web world.

This blog tells my experiences with software, computing, "hacks",
hardware, technology and whatever comes to my mind I want to share.

Usually, when I talk about software I mean
[free software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html). This means
that most probably I won't talk about proprietary software and operating
systems like Windows, MacOs, etc... but only about GNU/Linux, GNU/Linux-libre
distributions or whatever fully free computing environments will come up. Who
knows what the future will hold us...

At the moment I am a proud [Parabola GNU/Linux-libre](https://parabola.nu)
user running a very lightweight desktop environment like
[spectrwm](http://www.spectrwm.org) after going through years of
[OpenBox](http://openbox.org). I have used
[Replicant](http://www.replicant.us/) for the mobile phone but in the end I
settled for a plain Lineage OS because of the amount of problems that
surfaced up.

I hope this turns out to be a useful blog for anyone who encounters
similar computer science problems.

Enjoy!

P.S: I also hope my use of english is correct. If that is not the case don't
hesitate to mail me.

## Comment rules

Every post (and some other pages like this one) contain a comment section which
is just a `mailto` link to my private mail containing an id to that post or
comment. You can just click or copy that link and send me an email.

When you send me an email I will moderate it. By default I will report
verbatim:
- the subject
- the sending date
- your name, if present, or your email if you request so in the comment. If
  none is available I will simply use `anonymous` in this field.
- the content which can be written in krmarkdown (the one used on GitHub and
  GitLab)
