Ari.lt: Free and open source world of Ari Archer.
Welcome to my website, visitor 1572641!
Before I start explaining who I am, if you're here on this page because of one of the users using ari-web services and you want to report abuse, please contact me using one of the contacts listed on this page (such as the ari@ari.lt email). You may also leave a comment on the guestbook.
My name is Ari Archer also known as Arija A., but most commonly referred to as Ari. I am a 17 year old, neurodivergent, transgender, open source developer from Lithuania who does fun stuff in primarily Python (~8 years) and C (89, 99) (~4 years).
I've picked up programming at first in Python, writing various programs on my phone, and later on discovering a community where I could share my code. At the time I didn't have access to a computer, so I used to play around with basic JavaScript on my local library computers. At around 2019 I got access to a personal computer, which is where my main FOSS journey started - exploring more technologies and understanding them more in-depth, not being limited by a locked down phone.
I hated the limiting feeling of being on Microsoft Windows 10 very limiting, so soon after getting a personal computer I installed a free and open source Linux kernel distribution - and I've never went back to Windows ever since then. Democracy, freedom, shareability and customization ("hackability") are huge values for me.
Technology is a big part of my life, and I am way past the stage where I find just technology fascinating - I find various problems and their optimal solutions very interesting and I like to come up with my own - even if it's "reinventing the wheel" or "impractical" - I like to dig deep into it and understand how it works at its core, rather than relying on high-level features of an abstraction stack. I was always a person like this, not specifically in technology - I was always the nerdy science kid - but everywhere.
Even though I'd consider technology, problem solving, and computer programming a big part of my life, I also enjoy a couple of more things. Such as:
- Exploring various social issues (wars, injustice, freedom of people, abuse, discrimination, environmental problems, ...)
- Cooking - I really enjoy putting together a healthy, vegan dish, which's recipe I can share with others.
- And also blogging, as archiving things and thoughts has been a huge part of my life since forever.
But generally, I am pretty much open to try everything at least once if I have the time and energy to do so.
People often describe my personality as kind, accepting, open-minded, and nonjudgmental due to the way I interact with the world and people - I am always accepting of people no matter what they've gone through or are going through. They also see my logical side and describe me as intelligent, analytical, and creative because of how I tend to approach various logical problems. Though, this side of me can sometimes be overpowered by my emotional side if I lose control of my emotions.

This is a brief description of me as a person, I probably cannot fit all of it in a single page. I do hope that this is a good introduction to what I do, what skills I posses.

# Pages and redirects
Ari.lt includes multiple pages and redirects which include various information. This is a manually collected list of some important pages. If you want a full list of all pages see the sitemap.xml which has all possible pages on this site in an XML format - mainly used by indexers.
Ari.lt is still in the middle of migration to full-featured self-hosting, so some stuff might break or change with time, although I try to keep backwards compatibility possible.
