* About Niels
|
|
|
|
Niels G. W. Serup is the creator of metanohi and [[/projects/mege/][mege]], metanohi's engine. He
|
|
was born in 1992 and lives in Denmark.
|
|
|
|
He studies datalogi (computer science) at the University of Copenhagen, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIKU][DIKU]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Contact
|
|
|
|
Niels can be contacted at [[mailto:ns@metanohi.name][ns@metanohi.name]].
|
|
|
|
** Software which Niels uses
|
|
|
|
*** Emacs
|
|
|
|
Emacs is a nice text editor. [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Get it]].
|
|
|
|
Links: [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/blobs/raw/master/home/.emacs][my .emacs]] and [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/trees/master/home/.emacs.d][my .emacs.d]].
|
|
|
|
*** Conkeror
|
|
|
|
Conkeror is a nice webbrowser, somewhat similar in design to
|
|
Emacs. [[http://conkeror.org/][Get it]].
|
|
|
|
Links: [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/trees/master/home/.conkerorrc][My .conkerorrc]].
|
|
|
|
*** StumpWM
|
|
|
|
StumpWM is a nice tiling, Emacs-like window mananger. It has much fewer
|
|
features than e.g. XMonad (another tiling wm), but it's simple and
|
|
efficient. [[http://stumpwm.antidesktop.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl][Get it]].
|
|
|
|
Links: <@eval macros.titlelink('/writings/stumpwm')@>, [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/blobs/raw/master/home/.stumpwmrc][my .stumpwmrc]].
|
|
|
|
*** Trisquel
|
|
|
|
I run Trisquel, a fully free as in freedom operating system. [[http://trisquel.info][Get it]].
|
|
|
|
*** Unison
|
|
|
|
I use [[http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/index.html][Unison]] to synchronize files.
|
|
|
|
More and more people are beginning to rely on fancy stuff such as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)][internet]]
|
|
to synchronize their [[http://nxg.me.uk/note/2005/singular-data/][data]]. I don't. I can not be sure there is always fast
|
|
internet, and I cannot be sure that my data is secure, except if I spend time
|
|
encrypting it heavily.
|
|
|
|
When I am done using my desktop computer at the end of a day, I transfer files
|
|
from my desktop computer to my USB flash drive with Unison. Then I place my USB
|
|
flash drive in one of my left pockets and forget about it. The next day, when I
|
|
need to synchronize my files with my laptop, I remember putting my flash drive
|
|
in my lower left pocket. I pick it up and put it in my laptop, and then I run
|
|
Unison again.
|
|
|
|
It's fast, secure and durable (I often have poor or even none connection when
|
|
working on my laptop).
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Things which Niels uses but doesn't like
|
|
|
|
*** GitHub
|
|
When I want to make a git repository available online, I like to do it on the
|
|
server which also hosts metanohi, or a free software online host, such as one
|
|
running Gitorious. I don't quite like the very popular GitHub service, because
|
|
it is not free software. The negative effects of GitHub's proprietarity is that
|
|
its users cannot learn from studying GitHub's code, and that they cannot run
|
|
their own GitHubs. Users mostly use GitHub for public data, and since git
|
|
repositories are distributed, it is easy to move a git repository from GitHub
|
|
to another git repo hosting service --- just change the push address of your
|
|
local repository. All of this means that GitHub cannot cause serious problems
|
|
when it comes to control over the data you give to it. As such GitHub is far
|
|
from being as great a problem as e.g. Facebook. But I still don't like GitHub's
|
|
attitude. I use GitHub because someone created a repository to which I
|
|
contribute code on GitHub, not because of its "social coding".
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Virtual existences
|
|
|
|
In order of randomness: + [[http://hongabar.org/profile/nqpz][My public friendica profile]]
|
|
+ [[http://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:NqpZ][Libreplanet]] + [[http://identi.ca/nqpz][Identi.ca]]
|
|
+ [[http://nqpz.filmaster.com/][Filmaster]] + [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NqpZ][Wikipedia]]
|
|
+ [[https://savannah.gnu.org/users/nqpz][GNU Savannah]] + [[https://gitorious.org/~nqpz][Gitorious]]
|
|
+ [[http://openlibrary.org/people/nqpz][Open Library]] + [[http://en.literateprograms.org/User:NqpZ][LiteratePrograms]]
|
|
+ [[https://launchpad.net/~nqpz][Launchpad]]
|
|
+ [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Schabeindividuum][Uncyclopedia]] (don't take this one seriously)
|
|
|
|
Also, I don't use Facebook (or Facebook-/like/ social networks). If I did, my
|
|
data would be in Facebook's virtual hands. Users have way too little control
|
|
over Facebook. The solution to Facebook and other centralized services is to
|
|
use decentralized services. So in the case of social networking, use Diaspora,
|
|
friendica, or something else instead of Facebook.
|
|
|
|
*** I'm not on Facebook --- I'm on friendica!
|
|
|
|
Apparently someone else sharing my first name and my last name is on
|
|
Facebook. That's not me. I don't use PhageBook. I do, however, use [[http://friendica.com/][friendica]] on
|
|
[[http://hongabar.org/][Hongabar]].
