About page

Hi! I'm Anthony Wang, some random math and CS enthusiast from St. Louis, Misery (er, I meant Missouri).

Here are some useless facts about me that you definitely didn't know before reading this:

  • I've had five blogs and six email addresses over the past few years. I wasted a few hours copying every blog post I ever wrote to this website, but the older posts use BBCode and I was too tired to convert them to Markdown.

  • I have the book Free Software, Free Society (first edition) autographed by the infamous Richard Stallman himself.

  • I love breaking Arch Linux machines and hate running my Arch Linux server.

  • I enjoy violating the Discord TOS every day.

  • Obviously, some people abhor my writing style.

  • I'm currently exploring federated and decentralized systems and developing ActivityPub federation for Gitea.

  • I'm sleeping right now with 1/3 probability.

  • I wasted an hour messing with the MIT Kerberos registration website to get around the frontend's limitation of 3 character usernames, and registered the aesthetically perfect username of xy.

If you'd like to waste your time too, here are some more black holes to get sucked into.

And if you reading this, that means that special patterns in my biological neural networks transcribed into UTF-8 encoded strings contained within Markdown documents converted into HTML and CSS by Hugo with the Gokarna theme deployed to exozyme using Woodpecker CI transmitted to your machine over HTTP and rendered and displayed on your screen have now created special patterns in your biological neural networks. Awesome, telepathy!
