Hello, World! And welcome to my website visitor 1990466 :D

My name is Arija A., also known as Ari Archer (she/her). I am a 17-year-old neurodivergent, transgender, open source developer, thinker, and a wannabe cook, (im)practical writer, and researcher from Lithuania in education (gymnasium/high school (12th grade)).

If you don't care about the rest, I invite you to sign the guestbook to mark that you found this site! :)

# About Me

In short, I've been programming for most of my life. I started young - my journey began on a phone with Python, before graduating to Linux and a personal computer. Since then, I've chased projects that excite me, learned by creating things, and done my best to support FOSS and the community. I'm passionate about digital freedom, tech accessibility, self-hosting, creativity, and "figuring out how stuff actually works". If you want the full story, read my bio!

# What I Do

Develop open source projects (Python, C, web, Linux, and more!)
Maintain public, hosted infra including services such as email, git, jabber/XMPP, databases, advertisements, and more (open for respectful use!)
Blog and share notes on FOSS, programming, recipes, and the things I learn
Experiment and "reinvent the wheel" for fun, exploring, and learning
Participate in fighting Regimes, addressing unjustice, and helping people bypass censorship

# Why Does This Site Exist?

Because big tech keeps locking things down, and I want to build a corner of the web that is open, hackable, and welcoming to all. My philosophy: the power to create, tinker, and host should not be reserved for corporations or the privileged few. I'm here to provide, share, and (hopefully) inspire others to do the same :D
