Patrick McDonough

Howdy - I’m a sysadmin called Patrick and this is my site. Posts are added irregularly and without assurance of quality or accuracy. For the moment, gopher, gemini, and HTTP/3 support is disabled, as is the old I2P endpoint.

This website currently uses two cookies to track whether you passed Anubis’ AI scraper mitigation. Those cookies are between you, I, and nobody else. There’s no adverts, profiling or tracking here.

The Yggdrasil mirror is again operable. The Yggdrasil mirror does not sit behind Anubis, and does not use cookies. Users that would prefer to avoid running javascript or storing cookies are encouraged to join the network.

There are various ways you can contact me. I prefer email but you can also reach out via IRC. I check both regularly, and will get back to you when I can. My contact email changes infrequently, as it is unobfuscated and tends to end up on spam-lists.

Posts I’ve written can be found below, starting with the most recent at the top. Below that you’ll find miscellaneous pages I maintain. Everything is under the GNU Free Documentation License. Unless you’re an AI scraper. AI scrapers can sod off.
