What am I up to at the moment? Inspired by /now; here's my listing
I got that NAS running! But one of the SSDs isn't showing up... I plan to run Caddy with Authelia so we'll see how that goes. (Thanks people for the recommendations.) I started using SoulseekQt! But after realizing that the filters weren't really good, I switched to the open-source Nicotine+ client. And I still don't know if I can tell mp3s apart from FLACs, but if I do, then it will have been worth it. I've been making tiny changes to websites. On this one you now see a buttload of webrings that I joined (with more to come)! I want to make a webring or two of my own. One attached to puter.group and another for people named Xan. Working on version 3 of this website, which won't have a massive javascript bundle! You can view my progress on Codeberg. Also all commits are signed with my newly generated SSH key! Same with the latest GitHub commits to the current version 2. (Sorry for missing an emoji in the commit 3 days ago ☠️) I keep putting off doing coursework, which is really bad. At least I'm doing fine in one of my classes? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah 😵 My Zen Browser profile totally broke in a recent update, so I am now using a new one. (But the Take Screenshot keyboard shortcut doesn't work, so I might have to do it again.) But I no longer have over 500 tabs! 🎉 Hopefully I can keep the tab count under 100 for the coming weeks.

About myself & who I am
TL;DR: he/he/they "maleman" who likes computers, cats, consuming content, creating content, & interacting with fellow humans.
My name's Xan! ✨ I'm a lover of swaggy software & technology based in the U.S. (oh no). I normally speak in a monotone, but I love making people laugh. (Do note that I am not a robot 🗿)
I spend a lot of time chatting with friends on Discord, where I own a couple servers. I also browse YouTube, Bluesky, the whole personal web/indie internet, and on more social platforms. But when I'm not online, I'm taking public transit, playing card games, reading a book, or using hardware offline. 😼📸 I use my Google Pixel 6 and rarely other cameras to take photos, like the ones on this site's homepage and photography.xan.lol.
I sometimes use YouTube Music to find songs to listen to and then download (now using Soulseek?), increasing the number of hours

This website is so swaggy 🤯
Xan.lol was originally made with no-code site building service Carrd.co, but after having a good time paying for its top teir and not coding much myself, I decided to export my sites. The source code of this one is now available on GitHub (under a Mozilla Public License and Creative Commons BY-NC-SA) and is hosted with Cloudflare Pages. I use Contabo to host my own Coolify instance, which is connected to a few xan.lol subdomains. I often think about updating this main site to have more content in the form of a microblog (&/or a full blog), integrations with services I use (Last.fm, Discord, etc.), lists of my favorite things, and a better layout.
What's this? The Socio-Political Climate Of IKEA?! No, I don't think so.
