About
I’m a slow-tech philosopher, speciality coffee snob and a proud dad. I love bikes, the outdoors, computers, text-based interfaces and simple technology.
I’ve used the online alias “Hund” since the beginning of time. Not to be anonymous or anything, but simply because I grew up in the early days of the Internet, when online aliases were something that everyone used. The name “Hund” means dog in Swedish. And as you can probably guess, I’m a crazy dog person!
Computers & Linux
I got my first computer quite late in life, and I have never worked with computers, which seems to surprise most people. I have however contributed quite a lot of time and resources to various Linux and open source projects over the years.
My journey with Linux, started with Ubuntu in late 2006. I quickly became deeply involved with the Swedish Ubuntu community. And in recent years, I switched over to Gentoo (with OpenRC). I like sane operating systems and software, that’s straightforward and robust. The ‘modern’ and overcomplicated operating systems are not something that appeals to me.
Outdoors & Cycling
I have in my older days, taken up my past interest for biking. I used to love riding technical single tracks with my mountain bike, back in my youth. These days, I prefer more scenic routes on gravel and forest roads. I have also picked up an interest in bikepacking. Which, is something that my wife is still a bit sceptical about.
When I’m not out with my bike, I’m usually out hiking in the woods, with and without my family. I hope to get out on more multi day hikes as soon as my son is old enough for this kind of adventures.
My Website
My website is made with love using Neovim and the static site generator Jekyll. The website is hosted at GleSYS, which is a Swedish company that uses green and sustainable energy.
Worse is better
My website consists of 100% static HTML code. There’re no cookies, no JavaScript, no database, no calls to third parties or any kind of tracking by either me or anyone else.
This also means that there’s no fancy features, like a search feature. The idea is to use the search function that’s built in to your web browser. I have tried my best to do a reasonably good job of categorizing and tagging my posts, so it should be easy to find whatever you’re looking for.
The advantage of a static website, is that everything is simple and uncomplicated. The website can be hosted on a potato, while still being lightning fast. Static websites are also more secure and more inclusive.
