## About this site
This website is about computer science. You can find articles (or tutorials) [in the articles section](articles). Also, between 2020 and 2022 I wrote Linux articles for the [Baeldung](https://www.baeldung.com) website, [you can read them here](https://www.baeldung.com/linux/author/nicolasdato).

When I'm confident enought about some never-ending-never-completed side proyects, I push them to [my gitweb](gitweb).

You'll find more content [in the etc section](etc) that is not about computer science. This can include music, movies, video games, swimming, etc.

### The site development

This website is made with HTML and CSS. No Javascript, no cookies, no popups, no ads. Just a website. The style uses [Solarized](https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/) colors and Libertinus fonts. Also, the style tries to be similar to a [*LaTeX*](https://www.latex-project.org/) article.

To easily add content to this website, I use the [Zola static site generator](https://www.getzola.org/). So, the articles are written in [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) first, and then converted to HTML. Those articles are then inserted inside some HTML tempaltes.

## About me

*Swimming, coffee, and heavy metal.*

My name is Nicolás Dato, born in Argentina in 1991, and you can read more detailed information [in the CV section](cv) and [the contact section](contact).

In short, +10 years of C experience and +3 years of Java experience. Also +10 years of experience with Bash, Perl, Linux, etc. Excluding Java, all other experience is in the broadcast industry, developing software at [3Way Solutions](https://www.3way.com.ar/). We produce systems to receive, monitor, analize, and transmit video/audio content, such as TV and radio.

### About my computer

I use the [Slackware Linux distribution](http://www.slackware.com/). I try stick to free software and avoid software and websites that tracks people and ignores privacy. Also, I like self-hosting, and lightweight and simple software. I am fan of [suckless](https://suckless.org/). Sometimes all those ideas conflict with eath other.

My computer runs a local [Searx](https://searx.github.io/searx/) engine configured to use [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/), [Qwant](https://www.qwant.com/), and [Startpage](https://www.startpage.com/). Also, I had run [middle Tor relay](https://community.torproject.org/relay/) for some years, until I had to shut it down. This was because some ignorant IT-security dude didn't know how Tor works. It is also very usefull to have a [MediaWiki](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki). Maybe I could have installed some other lighter service.
