Welcome to my GitHub!
Here, you can explore my projects and contributions to various repositories. Feel free to check out my personal work as well as some of my shared work where I've collaborated with other developers. Each repository listed in each of the previous links (hopefully) has a README file1.
I’m excited to share my GitHub as I seek both paid and unpaid internship and work experience opportunities. Feel free to connect!
I am a hobbyist software developer from Sydney, Australia. I have been programming for a few years. I am interested in FOSS, Python and Rust - particularly how they pertain to game development with frameworks such as Bevy and PyGame, computer history, CPU architecture, kernel and development tools, Unix and NixOS, and general software development.
I use an Acer Swift Go running Linux Mint as my primary machine, and I store all my files on a file server running on an old Spin V running NixOS which I just SSH into over my local network. For software development I Vim2 inside a Tmux session. For handling Mail I use Neomutt, with my emails stored locally over SSH. When I want to access mail remotely I tend to just use Thunderbird. For file management I used Ranger, then switched to lf, and now I'm trying out Yazi. For file browsing, just using FZF3 seems to be enough 99% of the time. For browsing the web I use Firefox with UBlock Origin and Dark Reader. For viewing PDF's I use Zathura. For academic writing and note taking I use a combination of LaTeX for typesetting and VimTex4 for live reloading Zathura. I use MPV and sometimes VLC for viewing media, and I mainly just use RhythmBox for listening to podcasts, music, radio, etc since that's the default audio player that comes with Mint. Hardware-wise I route audio through a Focusrite interface and into ATH MX50 headphones.
Kind Regards,
Joshua Rose
