About this site |
Hello! My name is Linus Arver and this is my blog. I originally started a blog about various programming-related things here, but I wanted more control over how the content is generated/stored, and so I created this site. The source code for it (static content generator) is here, and the generated output (the static content) is here.
I have way too much fun writing computer programs. It is by far my favorite hobby, ever since I rediscovered it in 2009. There’s just something about making the computer solve your problems that just never gets old…!
I use free/open-source software almost exclusively as much as possible. Below are some of them.
- NixOS - my favorite OS
- nix-darwin - gives you NixOS-like configuration for your Mac
- Commit Mono - my favorite monospaced font
- WezTerm - a terminal emulator, configurable with Lua
- tmux - terminal multiplexer
- xmonad - the crash-proof tiled window manager
- Emacs - an advanced text editor
- Doom Emacs - Emacs with batteries included
- Qutebrowser - a lightweight browser with Vim bindings
- Org Mode - sufficiently flexible note-taking system
- TeX Live - programmable typesetting
Some months after I started contributing to Git, the community kindly asked me for an interview. What an honor!
A tale about what happened behind the scenes in the Kubernetes community infrastructure-wise in 2019-2020, while the rest of the world slept. Special thanks to Stephen Augustus from VMware who pitched the idea for the talk initially and helping with the recording as well.
These slides are from a talk I gave internally at Twin Prime (they were later acquired by SalesForce). I designed the slides so that they are readable as-is, without a real presentation. Last but not least, I hereby release these slides into the Public Domain — do whatever you like with them!
I wrote this paper originally in 2011–2012, but it was not released until it was finally revised in 2014.
Please email me at linus@ucla.edu for anything related to this blog. I have long since graduated from UCLA, but they gave me a lifetime email address. Thank you, UCLA!
