Hi! My name's ThrIf (with a capital i), but you can also call me flo. I'm primarily
a gamedev / programmer and a big open source nerd from austria (NOT Australia, the one
in Europe). I also like to dabble in a bunch of other stuff and learning various other
things too like making this website or hosting my own
little homeserver! I primarily code in the godot
game engine (genuinely the best engine I've ever used) and otherwise just use
VSCodium or Code-OSS with extensions for development.
For Operating system, I use EndeavorOS on my PC and more recently NixOS
base Arch on my Laptop (NixOS ended up being too much of a pain over time and I felt like
there was never a "properly correct" way to structure my config. Maybe I'll return to
it at some point...), although I'm still very much a linux newbie.
I'm very big into open source software and most things I make are open source on my codeberg (like this website itself)! Gamedesign isalso something that lives rent free in my head, especially weirder stuff, or things that kind of bend the rules a little. Other stuff about me, uhhhh I like music and wanna learn making that and toki pona is cool so I wanna learn that too.
I also think it's very important to have a baseline understanding of a lot of the things you regularily interact with. We live in a world where people specialize in a lot of fields so that others don't need to be familiar with them, and that's a good thing. But that also opens people up to being taken advantage of (in my field, that's a lot of the megacorps like google or microsoft, that you are effectively forced to interact with). And I think learning the basics in just a couple fields makes you so much more resistant to that. It's just such a shame that people don't really seem to care about the things they are using on a daily basis.
