Hi!

You have reached balsoft.ru, my personal webpage.

My name is Alexander Bantyev (Александр Бантьев), and I help create awesome stuff at https://tweag.io .

FAQ (to be honest, those are about the only questions I get asked):

***

Q: What do you do for a living?

A: I am a software developer, devops/SRE, Linux nerd, NixOS enthusiast.

***

Q: Why does this website look so good?

A: It's plain text, motherfucker. No HTML, no CSS, no JS, no 15 megabyte images. It renders correctly on 8K TV, 4K laptop, FHD smartphone, 160x160 smartwatch, IBM PC, and my grandmother's typewriter (sans 142 UTF-8 bytes).

***

Q: Are you looking for a job?

A: No, I am not looking for a job.

***

Q: Are you available for hire?

A: No, I am not available for hire.

***

Q: Эй, смотри, у нас открылась вака...

A: Нет, НЕ НАДО ПРИСЫЛАТЬ МНЕ ВАКАНСИИ.

If you want to contact me for reasons other than job offers, use balsoft at balsoft.ru for email, matrix and (in the future) fediverse.

My gpg key is available at https://balsoft.ru/key.

If for some reason you can't reach me on this server (e.g. your smtp server uses an outdated cipher), you can use balsoft75 at gmail.com for an alternative email address.

If you prefer telegram (I don't), https://t.me/balsoft

If you have found a vulnerability on this server, I'd be very grateful if you told me about it. Contact me through any of the ways above.

Idea for site design: motherfuckingwebsite.com taken to the extreme.
