Blog

Over time, I’ve written a number of blog posts. Some to voice my opinion, some to help people out with a tutorial, or just because I found something fun or interesting to talk about. You can find these blog posts on this section of my site. If you have any comments, feel free to send an email to ~tyil/public-inbox@lists.sr.ht, or reach out through any other method listed on the home page.
