  "Introduction": "I'm Pixel, based in Blida, Algeria, studying electrical engineering. I've been programming for about 2 years now. Most of what I know didn't come from courses but from messing around, breaking things, and reading source code until I understood how they worked.",
  "Skills & Languages": "Most of my work now is in C, especially for low-level and systems work involving <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System'>X11</a> and <a href='https://wayland.freedesktop.org/'>Wayland</a>. I also use Rust and Python regularly. I'm B2 in English and currently learning Japanese through the <a href='https://genki3.japantimes.co.jp/en/'>Genki</a> textbooks.",
  "My Work": "All my projects and configs are public on <a href='https://github.com/pixel2175'>GitHub</a>, <a href='https://codeberg.org/pi66'>Codeberg</a>, and my <a href='https://git.pi66.xyz'>Git server</a>. Some of it: <a href='https://github.com/Pixel2175/walrs'>walrs</a>, a Rust tool that pulls color schemes from wallpapers to theme your system, similar to <a href='https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal'>Pywal</a>; <a href='https://codeberg.org/pi66/sta'>sta</a>, a minimal status monitoring app in C, similar to <a href='https://tools.suckless.org/slstatus/'>slstatus</a>; <a href='https://codeberg.org/pi66/dwl-patches'>dwl-patches</a>, my collection of patches for <a href='https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl'>dwl</a>; <a href='https://codeberg.org/pi66/dots'>dots</a>, my dotfiles; and <a href='https://codeberg.org/pi66/merodi'>merodi</a>, a markdown-based static site generator.",
  "My Setup": "I run <a href='https://voidlinux.org'>Void Linux</a>. I use <a href='https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl'>dwl</a> and <a href='https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri'>niri</a> as my window managers, <a href='https://codeberg.org/adnano/wmenu'>wmenu</a> as a launcher, <a href='https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/'>foot</a> as my terminal, and <a href='https://neovim.io/'>Neovim</a> as my editor. I browse with <a href='https://librewolf.net'>LibreWolf</a>.",
  "Server": "My site is hosted locally, with the domain <a href='https://pi66.xyz'>pi66.xyz</a> bought through <a href='https://porkbun.com'>Porkbun</a>. I generate it with <a href='https://codeberg.org/pi66/merodi'>merodi</a> and serve it with <a href='https://nginx.org'>nginx</a>. It's static only, no database, no heavy stuff, since the server isn't that good.",
  "Git Server": "I host my own Git server for my projects and repositories at <a href='https://git.pi66.xyz'>git.pi66.xyz</a>.",
  "Philosophy": "<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle'>KISS</a> and the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy'>Unix philosophy</a>: small tools that do one thing well and don't get in your way. I'd rather have something simple and understandable than something feature-heavy and bloated.",
  "Learning": "I learn by building real things and reading other people's source code rather than studying theory first. If I want to understand how something works, I'd rather break it open and rebuild it than read about it."
