About This Website
This website was honestly started as almost a joke, I wanted to make a webpage but when I was purely motivated by the idea of having a funny TLD. At the time I thought "移动" (xn--6frz82g) was fairly unique. Maybe I'm too insular, haha. Anyways, it was fun and I spent a shitload of time working on this website. There was one key flaw in my choice to use some random chinese TLD. Bluesky's social-app doesn't actually properly handle it. So for a year straight I just flat out didn't see people @-ing me on the whole platform unless they used alternative clients. Fun stuff.
About Me
My name is Oliver, and I'm a CSci student currently going through a bachelor's program in my home state of Minnesota. I daily drive Arch on two laptops, of which are shown here under fastfetch:

What else to talk about...
Keyboards
I'm a big fan of split ortholinear ergonomic keyboards. I spent all a lot of time getting good at using them, and now I'm about as good on a split keyboard as I am on a normal one.
My current main keyboard is a Sofle v2 on zmk with two nice_oled panels. The switches are Outemu Crystal Clear V3 Silent Lemons, but I might get something different later if I find tactile switches that are as quiet without feeling mushy. The keycaps are TaiHao Thins, which were so absurdly expensive it's crazy lmfao. Shit was 50 dollars. I also sometimes bring out my Silakka54, which unfortunately had the TRRS port break off the board in my bag on the way to college. It has Outemu Crystal Clear V3 Silent Peaches in it, and just has some wholly clear XDA caps.
If you want to see the FW for my Sofle, check it out in this repo.
Work
I work as the senior (student) sysadmin at my college for the CSci linux lab, and I also work the IT helpdesk on campus. It's honestly a shitload of work, but I enjoy it. I have a lot of experience working with Puppet, now OpenVox, and I learned I really love working in IaC. It's fun.
