Hi there! Hope you’re doing well.

Today I felt love for all things. A chair, glass, machines, wheels, even the loud music that we hear from the village. I saw how everything is alive. Shining. All of the time.

My name’s Sunny (or Sun for short), and I’m broadcasting this from a Raspberry Pi, located near the Austria-Germany border.

Interests

I usually work as an application developer. Aside from that, I occasionally do graphic design, video editing, photography and more. I’m also into a lot of old technology (ZX Spectrum, MS-DOS, what have you) and console hacking (the cool kids call this “homebrew”, right?).

Furthermore, I’m a strong advocate for:

• digitization and preservation
  • whether that may concern books, cassettes, CDs, Blu-rays, other mediums or digital things
• privacy
  • no more Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple or Amazon accounts
• a greener planet
  • I highly recommend reading The Uninhabitable Earth and All The Right Words On Climate Have Already Been Said

On the more “passive” side, I sometimes listen to music, watch a movie or TV show, play some games or read a book.

What kinds of music, movies, shows and games? All of them! After a friend of mine introduced me to Rate Your Music some years ago, my musical horizon has expanded drastically, and the rest soon followed.

That doesn’t say much, I know, so here’s just my three favorite …

• … albums: Porter Robinson: Nurture, Jeff Rosenstock: WORRY., Swans: Soundtracks for the Blind
• … movies: Edward Yang: Yi Yi, Daniels: Everything Everywhere All at Once, Naoko Yamada: A Silent Voice
• … games: OMOCAT, LLC: OMORI, Thomas Bowker: LYNE, etherane: tomorrow won’t come for those without ██████

Contact

I do have an e-mail address, but you know how it is these days. Try this in a terminal of your choice:

Seriously though, feel free to contact me about whatever you want. I read everything! (And sometimes I reply too!)

My PGP key is pretty much everywhere at this point, you really can’t miss it – but just in case, you can either download the .ASC file or grab it here:
