About me

MUSIC

Music lover and decent pianist

I love music A LOT. I appreciate most genres but particularly house, electro, and more recently pop and french songs. Also weird/fun mixes :-p Below, some of my favorite artists (non-exclusive sample):

PHILOSOPHY

Basically, happiness and connecting with people

I notice how much happiness is forgotten during everyday life. The feel of the rain, the smell of that flower, the warmth of a kin are gifts I want to accept. I found the book 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalaï Lama and Howard Cutler life-changing. I'm a very calm and introverted person, though that doesn't prevent me from having and expressing my own opinions, sometimes a bit too frankly... whoops.


SPORTS

Both sea and mountain

Favorite would definitively go to sailing (catamaran). Skiing is nice too, a bit of hiking won't kill me, and some people will say the first one isn't a sport, but I can hold more than my own at kicker and ping-pong. Try me!


HOBBIES

Anything can fly!

I've spent a lot of time flying RC models (and making the weirdest possible craft). So far, I've flown a plane made with LEGOs and a custom 3D-vectored aerobatic plane, both handmade... the adrenalin of an 'uncontrolled rapid landing' stopped just inches before the ground is something. Nowadays, I spend most of my free time coding and watching anime/movies, and building random stuff.


TECH

❤️ nerding out on everything

Starting out on mainstream OSes, I've distro-hopped Linux (and ROM-hopped on my smartphone) for a fair bit of time. As a proficient user, Windows doesn't even compare, but somehow I still HAVE to fill out Microsoft Word documents... Having a free, hackable and open ecosystem to work and play with is starting to become a 'must' for me. (nerd warning) I ran ArchLinux for a few years but I'm now using Garuda KDE with a BTRFS+LUKS along linux-zen and zram setup, on that not-so-linux-friendly ideapad 5 pro. My mini-pc server runs on plain Ubuntu, as my plethora of self-hosted services (including this website) is fully dockerized anyway.


IDEAS

My future projects, or at least what I'd like to do when I have some time

- Create my own good music player (WIP) - Collaborate to Neovim itself - Implement absolute volume management in Linux
