Profile

Note

This deprecated account, currently i moving git hosting to sourcehut git.sr.ht/~hervyqa

I'm an OpenBSD user, software developer, technical writer, and designer with a strong interest in privacy, security, and low-level programming on UNIX-like systems. Over the years, I've worked extensively with Linux and BSD operating systems, including developing and maintaining a Linux-based distribution for more than a decade.

I actively contribute to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects and enjoy exploring minimalist, keyboard-driven workflows.

I am not here because I am different. I am here because I exist.

— Hervy Qurrotul A.

Contact

Email is the best way to reach me. I occasionally use social platforms such as Mastodon, Bluesky, and Lemmy, but for direct communication I prefer SimpleX Chat or Signal.

Warning

I no longer use Google services, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, or Matrix due to concerns regarding privacy, data ownership, and platform policies.

Encrypted Email

I strongly encourage the use of OpenPGP (GPG) for email communication. Unencrypted email offers little privacy, while encryption helps ensure that messages can only be read by their intended recipients.

You can find my public key and instructions for importing and verifying it below.

Repository

Most of my open-source work is hosted on SourceHut. While I still maintain accounts on other platforms, SourceHut is currently my preferred git forge.

Desktop setup

My workflow is heavily keyboard-driven and centered around CLI and TUI applications. While my obsdc dotfiles setup may not be the most practical solution for every use case, it is the environment I enjoy working in.

My daily tools include OpenBSD, SwayWM, Git, Aerc, Vim, Helix, Chawan, and various CLI/TUI utilities.
