French version is already done tho +![freebsd daemon holding a trans flag instead of their usual trident](/freebsdTrans.png "freebsd daemon holding a trans flag instead of their usual trident") + +## hey hey + +My name's violet, although i spell it violette in french. I am a student in +computer science just about to graduate with a mastery degree in Sherbrooke's +University, Québec, as well as an engineering degree in Polytech Annecy, +France. + +This site is here to share everyday's stuff, as well as important notes for +people close to me. + +I really like low level stuff, and see how a computer works at its heart, from +a software perspective. I like sneaking around and go see how stuff works in +Linux, FreeBSD, or even some BIOSes (i own a librebooted X200, and regularly +"play" (or heavily complain) with Seabios). + +On my free time, i like to play guitar, and listen to music (Sherbrooke has an +amazing live Jazz scene!), rock climbing and taking pictures. I'm not remotely +close to being good at any of this things, but i enjoy practicing them +nonetheless. + +## This website somewhat sucks +But i like it! I really enjoy doing simple stuff, and when those things are +efficient and performant. Therefore, i won't be using JavaScript or anything +like that. + +Also, since i like playing with old tech, i want my services to be accessible +to as many devices as possible, without making them or their user suffer +(remember the X200? yeah browsing web on it sucks ; most website require JS and +load tones of stuff, uselessly draining its battery). + +### dark theme +There's a dark theme that loads along your preferences set in your browser. If +you chose dark theme there, everything *should* play nicely with it here. +However, if you wanna switch, there's still a button **BUT** since i don't use +JS, i cant store your preferences, so it reset at each page change. Sorry! + +### Languages +Im french, and i'll try to translate pages (but we both know im lazy and will +not do it quick) in English and french. There will be some specific for fr/en +tho, since some are write-up for me / friends / family, and would have no +purpose once translated. + +## Services +I have a git server here running Forgejo +[git](https://git.violette.town/violette), Once Forgejo has federation ig i'll +be able to contribute to other people projects? Anyway, i also have a matrix +server along with its QoL stuff (turn + ntfy) and a couple of mail servers. +Since i operate myself those things (and there's no backup) stuff has and will +fail from time to time. I'm still learning :) (its getting better i swear) + +## Contacts +There's the stuff i use to talk to people: +* mail: `vi@violette.town` +* matrix (\~personal): `@violette:bigblase.xyz` +* Fediverse (personal++): [`@violets@tech.lgbt`](https://tech.lgbt/@violets) + +## "Professional" +* CV: [CV](https://git.violette.town/violette/cv/raw/branch/typst/main_public.pdf)! +* git: [violette.town](https://git.violette.town/violette) +* github (old): [@thebigblase](https://github.com/thebigblase) + +well that's pretty much it! i'll see you around :)
