My name's Jakob, and I'm a self-taught free software hacker. I'm into formal methods, functional programming, computer security, and lifting weights.
That's the short version. I have a longer biography available here.
If you have sent an email to an address of mine ending in 'sdf.lonestar.org' between January 2nd, 2020 and now, I have not received it. SDF has discontinued mail service on that domain. As such, I have a new PGP key.

There are a few non-trivial contributions I've made to various free software projects, which I enumerate here. I take pride in giving back code.
| GNU Guix | May 13 2019 - Dec 28 2019 | Functional cross-platform package manager and a tool to instantiate and manage Unix-like operating systems, based on the Nix package manager. | ||
| Radare2 | Jul 7 2018 - Nov 9 2018 | UNIX-like reverse engineering framework and command-line tools. | ||
| Haiku | Apr 3 2019 - Jun 31 2019 | The Haiku operating system. | ||
| PINCE | Oct 30 2016 - Apr 15 2018 | A reverse engineering tool, comparable to Cheat Engine for GNU/Linux. I still maintain the Arch Linux package, which is unfortunate, as I no longer use Arch Linux. |
The unfortunate reality of hobbyist programming is that projects to be abandoned once that coding itch is satisfied. That's true of many of my projects.
| ox-haunt | Apr 21 2019 - Apr 5 2020 | Haunt-flavored HTML backend for the Org export engine | ||
| Mines | Dec 12 2018 - Apr 12 2019 | Android implementation of the classic video game "Minesweeper". | ||
| Slime the World | Oct 21 2018 - Jan 1 2019 | My entry for the 2018 Autumn Lisp Game Jam; a game about covering everything in slime. | ||
| Rebuild | May 23 2018 - Sep 23 2018 | An attempt at reimplementing Ken Silverman's Build engine, with the goal of being modular enough to host a modern Blood source port. | ||
| wildmidi | May 31 2018 - Aug 31 2018 | A simple [Rust] wrapper around the WildMIDI software synthesizer library. | ||
| Duke on FluidSynth | Jan 13 2018 - Apr 13 2018 | Experimental FluidSynth MIDI driver for EDuke32. | ||
| Hypodermic | Aug 28 2017 - Jan 22 2018 | Proof-of-concept shared object injector that will eventually be integrated with PINCE. | ||
| skullfuck | Mar 15 2017 - Jun 21 2017 | Optimizing compiler for Brainfuck, contained in a single C source file. | ||
| Nekopack | Jan 2 2017 - Dec 1 2017 | Tool for extracting game data from Nekopara's XP3 archives. |
