polarhive

Hi. I'm Nathan 👋

A geeky student — interested in computers, minimalism, collaboration & the web. This is my $HOME on the internet.

I go by /polarhive on the inter-webs. I write about tech, free/libre software and minimalism. I care about digital-privacy, OSINT and the open-web. I'm also interested in decentralized protocols [matrix/activitypub], GNU/Linux and systems programming.

This site is full of easter-eggs and is built from scratch. Poke around — have fun. Feel free to /email me or sign my /guestbook to say hi.
