Welcome! I am Sophie, a hacker and tinkerer. I'm always seeking to learn, and always willing to teach. 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. Any kind of graphical / frontend work is usually not for me.
If you stumble upon the name Wyvernscale, that's the name of my old gaming clan. I've used this name a lot in the past, but it's slowly being phased out.
Projects
I am somewhat proud of the following:
- neo-ed is the new standard editor. It is a modern, user-friendly, and extensible version of the original
edtext editor from early UNIX, written in Lua, and partially POSIX.1-2017 compliant. - 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.
Articles
On this site, I keep records of my digital misadventures. I want to document unusual problems I encounter, and the solutions I find, hoping this will help out somebody else someday. I will try to keep things as concise and technical as possible.
Sometimes I also just write about things I find interesting, and want more people to know about.
