Hi! My name is Tyler and I've been tinkering with all aspects of hardware and software since my first brushes with Red Hat Linux and MS-DOS. These days, in addition to my salaried tech job work, I do quite a bit on the side as well, since the venn diagram of my "professional duties" and "personal hobbies" is... just a circle:

• I contribute to OSS when and where I can (with an increasing focus on Nix/NixOS)
• I write long-form technical content on my blog
• I operate general-use infrastructure such typing.ink
• I occasionally appear at places like Fly.io and Linode providing guides and how-tos

Your support means the ability to do more of the above bullet points.

• I have several NixOS modules that live only in my private repositories. More flexibility to contribute upstream means new NixOS modules!
• I'd love to write as much as I'm able to. Additional support means I can justify more content like my Nginx v. Caddy shootout.
• Maintaining generally-available services like Mastodon take time for maintenance and administrative work.

I appreciate your consideration of support!
