About

Hi! Welcome to our computing community's cozy corner of the internet!

Stuff we do

Build a better world

The web sucks. We'd like it to suck less. To end GitHub's code-hosting monopoly, we're a major contributor to forge federation development. We also offer many decentralized, encrypted, and privacy-respecting alternatives to popular services.

Code cool software

We live and breath code. We've contributed to dozens of projects, including our status page, Arch Linux, KDE Frameworks, Nextcloud, Gitea, Forgejo, ForgeFed, Mastodon, PeerTube, Woodpecker, Toolbox, OpenRGB, Zenpower3, and more. We also maintain over 10 AUR packages.

Hack everything

We do lots of fun stuff. Like installing every Arch Linux package, because why not?

Learn new things

You'll learn some insanely cool stuff from our community. How to make a cursed peer-to-peer network... how to incorrectly encrypt your disk so you can never unlock it...

Discuss with the community

Our community mostly hangs out on Matrix. We're 100% community built and maintained, so everyone has a voice in our project decisions.

Our server

We have a server located in St. Louis in the United States. It's pretty nice: a 24-thread AMD Ryzen 9 5900X proccessor, an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card, 32 GB of RAM, and gigabit internet.

A photograph of the server

Arch Linux is a terrible operating system for servers, but we use it anyways and update monthly. We provide SSH and remote desktop access, code hosting, cloud storage, website hosting, containers, and basically anything else you can think of.

Also, if you've wondering about the origin of the name exozyme, it's just an invented word that sounds cool and contains everyone's favorite math variables x, y, and z. Note that it's "exozyme", not "exozy". Pronouce it however you like.
