about me

I'm Zhiren Lin. When studying in Australia, Aussies tend to call me Ziren and some of my friends/mates prefer just Lin. On the Internet I often use errenil, pronounced as "error nil".

I'm mostly interested in the following subjects:

• GNU/Linux (Arch, Gentoo, NixOS)
• Emacs (along with some editor-specific things)
• Programming Languages and Compilers
• Blockchain and decentralized Web3 applications
• Web technologies (Deno, Node.js, TypeScript, etc)
• Distributed Systems and Cloud Computing (I'm learning AWS)
• Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
• Skateboard (out of practice for too long, alas)
• Learning Japanese/Korea and improving English
• Reading long in-depth reports published on The New Yorker
• Watching (some) K-Drama TV series

about this site

Previously the site was built with Hakyll, but after my old domain expired, I planed to migrate my site to a new domain with a new SSG. Now it runs on Lume. As the migration is in process and the site is undergoing reconstruction, expect more.
