Longtime open-source user, advocate, and contributor. I’ve been working with and writing about Linux and open source since 1999. Now writing for LWN.net (@lwn). Become a subscriber here if you're not already! https://lwn.net/subscribe/

I post about Linux, free and open-source software (FOSS), music, cats, politics, writing, and anything else that comes to mind. Hates gen-AI slop.

Hello, I'm Henry Hiles, a developer specialising in NixOS system administration and Flutter development. I'm proficient with Nix, Dart, and Bash.

I build maintainable, declarative, and reproducible systems with Nix, usually using flakes, flake-parts, and Agenix. However, I can quickly adapt to any other preferred system. I also build high-performance, intuitive apps with Flutter, usually using Riverpod, Freezed, and Flutter Hooks.

I am into #foss, #linux, #nixos, #selfHosting and #postmarketOS.

I occasionally boost posts without alt text (mostly of raccoons or cats, nothing important).
