I’m Victor Mignot aka dala.
I spend most of my time trying to acquire knowledge on computer science through small projects. All of them are licensed under free and open-source licenses and are available on my personal Forgejo instance. I don’t consider myself as a FOSS developer, as most of my projects are just small experiments or piece of software. I’ve still not engaged myself in any notable FOSS project, but I would be glad to. I also tend to self-host various services, and maintaining a small infrastructure at home.
My goal behind this blog is to share my personal experiments and projects. I’m not an expert in any particular domain. As such, and even if I try to check every piece of information I share, I might utter false or approximate statements. I’ll gladly fix it if you find some.
My technical interests are:
- embedded development
- the mobile Linux ecosystem
- the NixOS ecosystem (I use Lix though)
- open-hardware
- trying to repair computers and mobile devices
Here is the list of projects I would like to try to implement myself in the future (I’ll try to keep it updated on the future):
- A package manager.
- A trivial implementation of a Linux init program.
- Improve my current incomplete implementation of a RISC-V hart emulator.
- A KeePass-based password manager for Linux Mobile (as the KeePassXC interface does not scale on mobile screen).
