Hiiiiiiiii!!!111
People call me Grisha offline or [0xa|oxa|oxapentane] online, take your pick. Recovering scientist, chemist with theoretical degree in physics [Note: Not to be confused with degree in theoretical physics :D], hacker, anti-luddite, 🏳️🌈, he/him. Speak en, ru and nl.
During the workdays I’m trying not to cry around the labs of van der Waals-Zeeman Institute, University of Amsterdam.
During my fun time I like to play with radio and look at the large-scale infrastructure. For example have a look at the traffic light thing that we did couple of years ago.
I like self hosting. I use nix btw.
If you haven’t got it yet, I’m staring into my ’puter a lot
About the website
This website is fully static, generated using zola.
I used zap theme at first and while it provided a rather pleasant scaffold to assimilate now there’s not much left of it.
This website is also a manifestation of what I want the web to be.
Simple, fast, no website analytics, no megabytes of JS. HTML and CSS, with couple of JS progressive enchancements that gracefully degrade if it is not your kind of thing, or if you find yourself reading it in links.
Blog [Note: As well as every tag, project or almost whatever] has a rss feed. Feeds have post content embedded, but you’ll loose some niceties like those sidenotes on the margins. [Note: They are CSS trick on wide screen. If you are on narrow enough screen they are inline popups via JS if enabled, and just inline “note” text if disabled.]. I was one of those “blog doesn’t require any JS” and “best viewed in an RSS reader” people, but those small styling things kinda grew on me. Web is not paper, and we better take advantage of it.
You can find the html sources with full edit history nicely published as a git repo. [Note: If we being honest this “publication” is a side effect of NixOS flake input being way less annoying if it is public]
