-## Hi!!
+![freebsd daemon holding a trans flag instead of their usual trident](/freebsdTrans.png "freebsd daemon holding a trans flag instead of their usual trident")
-TODO do this. French version is already done tho
+
+## 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)
+

+* mail: `vi@violette.town`
+* matrix (\~personal): `@violette:bigblase.xyz`
+* Fediverse (personal++): [`@violets@tech.lgbt`](https://tech.lgbt/@violets)
