Screw the gender binary

Hi! I’m Mica and I mostly use this domain for email but I figured I’d put something here.

I used to try and actually write regular blog articles on whatever I was doing buuuut I’m pretty bad at writing about what I do if I’m not forced to do it. (Neurodivergence might have something to do with it.) I’m trying to get better at it (again).

Here are some recent posts:

• Generating Nix(OS) secrets using declarative templates
• My Nix-based homelab monorepo

Here are some old articles for posterity and cringe (and because I hate leaving broken links on the internet):

• NixOS: Avoiding filesystem corruption with hibernation and ephemeral root
• Restoring my broken file system with Btrfs, NixOS and Restic

You can email me at hatsune@mica.lgbt. Thanks for respecting my pronouns when you do! Oh, and I was also peer-pressured into signing up for Matrix: @hmica:matrix.org. And the Fediverse: @mica@ohai.social.

This site collects aggregate statistics using GoatCounter. You can see exactly what I’m seeing at mica.goatcounter.com or learn more about GoatCounter’s approach from their docs.
