Welcome

I am Sophie, a hacker¹, maker and tinkerer. My areas of expertise include programming languages and compilers, all kinds of Linux system stuff, server administration and advanced networking, devops, 3D printing, and many other things I set my mind to.

Projects

I am somewhat proud of the following:

• sysgraph is a compact system state manager, written in hardened C, with as little dependencies as humanly possible. It can run on any POSIX system with a C99 compiler and busybox. I use it to control the services on my servers, and my desktop session. The goal is to eventually boot a system as PID 1, but a lot of scaffolding needs to be erected before that.
• neo-ed is the new standard editor. It is a modern, user-friendly, and extensible version of the original ed text editor from early UNIX, written in Lua, and mostly POSIX.1-2017 compliant. I use it as my main editor.
• My master thesis is currently in the works here.
• This website is generated from this repository. It is produced from Markdown sources by pandoc, using a script inspired by this lovely blog post.

In general, my public projects can be found on my cgit, the artifacts generated from them here.
