whoami

im a 19 (2005) year old male, python (mostly) developer and linux user living in greece, thessaloniki


hobbies

programming

i started in 2018/2019 maybe? iirc, i started with c++ (for some reason?????) on a phone... then, i moved to python, and i started making discord bots for a year, and then i gave up (on discord bots) since discord made some bad api changes. after that, i just started doing random, and "more advanced" projects, like web scrapers, websites, etc. check my skills page for more. i still code on a phone, btw. of course, i also code on a laptop. but id say its 50/50. i also can write in web languages, like html & css, but id like to not focus on it, due to how messy the "web development field" is.

linux

im also a linux enthusiast. ive been using linux since 2020 (i think?). i havent used a lot of distros, since void linux "cured" my distro hopping. i wouldnt say im a linux pro, but i also wouldnt say im a noob either. lets say, im in the middle. i use void linux, with a custom (config) kernel (xanmod), + some minor distro configurations like removing packages, etc.

distros ive used in the past:

  1. gentoo
  2. archlinux
  3. ubuntu
  4. fedora (?)
  5. alpine
  6. debian
  7. devuan

android

in ~2020, i became a part of an android community. then, a few months ago (i guess?), i became a helper. i help people flash custom roms, and assist them with other things. i also made a website for my device: laurel_updates

music

i love music (who doesnt i guess?). according to my phone, i listen to music ~20hrs/week (~3hrs/day). my music genre changed a lot a few months ago. it was kinda gay/bad before, so a big thank you to that one person who changed my music taste. i mostly listen to old school hiphop/rap (nas, gang starr, dj premier and more)

genres/taste

i dont really know what genres i listen to, so check my last.fm profile, or check my apple music playlist instead.

more about music

i think its better to put these things into a different blog post, so check it out for more.

games

i like playing games. i havent played a lot of games, but ive played good ones like:

  1. grand theft auto san andreas (favorite)
  2. medal of honor
    • allied assault (favorite)
    • heroes 2
    • airborne elite (?)
  3. need for speed
    • underground 2 (favorite)
    • underground rivals
