Me

Hello! my name is Twig, or Lydia, or any variation thereof, eg: Ly, Lyd, or Lyds.
I'm basically a cat in like, real life (but mainly the internet) :3
Also, this is a very basic fact a lot of people seem to miss, I'm a (she/her)

I like Linux, programming, math, and other tech related stuff, though in the grand scheme of things, I'm probably in the pit of despair in terms of knowledge about them.

Currently I am on NixOS, which is a declarative Linux distro that offers reproducible builds of the parts of your computer it manages, which theoretically could be everything, but usually isnt.

I have around 5+ years of experience with Linux, and I have been programming for about 3. As a child I would program in Scratch for fun, much like a modern developer, I took other's code and incorporated it into my own. Nowadays, I generally program in Zig, Go, or Rust. Sometimes I like dabble in functional languages like Haskell and Ocaml. Of course, I also use nix, because I mean, I use NixOS.

I also enjoy making digital art. I don't really post my art online, but perhaps this site will be where I end up doing so. I mostly draw my own characters, but sometimes i draw other things such as other people's characters or architecture.

My current favorite song as of Jun 21, 2025: Fever Dream by Dirt Poor Robins
