Hi. I’m Kylie. I’m a twenty year old woman pursuing a B.A. in philosophy. I also make music and love to compute.

Music

Projects

Aside from music, I also love doing work with free software and free culture in general.

My main open source project for… a few years, has been an attempt to make my own distribution, Mutiny. It’s been mostly a passion project so far, involving a lot of conceptual planning and architecturing. If you find the ideas behind it interesting though, please get in touch on #mutiny@irc.freenode.net.

• I run a few web services for personal and public use…
  • pickle.zone, a Mastodon instance
  • searx.somas.is, a searX instance
• I really enjoy doing work on OpenStreetMap.
• musl-wiki, a wiki documenting the musl libc
• makedown, a build system for building static webpages written in markdown
• scripts, a collection of useful scripts

Past projects

Most of these things still function fine, but I don’t personally use them much anymore and thus consider them of the past.

• lux, a Linux kernel updater
• git-gerrit, a non-interactive Gerrit interface
• Exherbo Linux, I was recruited as a developer in May 2015. Still technically one, but I stopped contributing actively late 2016.
  • Implemented support for musl libc. x86_64-pc-linux-musl <3
  • Implemented the ability to replace some GNU components with minimalist/embedded-oriented alternatives; coreutils for busybox, etc.
  • Redesigned website to look more modern, and be responsive to different devices.
  • Implemented support for using clang as system C/C++ compiler.
• musl-compat, compatibility headers and utilities for musl libc systems
• Bootstrapped, a clean tumblr theme
• beginning, an init system no smarter than me or you
• gnome-colors-revival, shiki-colors-revival, arc-colors-revival, (once) maintained versions of the “GNOME Colors” suite of themes
