About

Projects

I have worked on countless projects over the past five years, for the most part. I started learning to code with Python when I was seven and my interest has only evolved from there. I got into web development due to my uncle, who taught my how to write my first lines of HTML.

Recently, I have been involved in developing several projects, especially with TypeScript, which is my new favorite language as of a year ago. My biggest project currently is p0ntus, a free service provider for privacy-focused individuals.

Almost all of my projects are able to run in Docker, which is my preferred deployment method.

Me and my developer friends operate an organization called ABOCN, where we primarily maintain a Telegram bot called Kowalski. You can find it on Telegram as @KowalskiNodeBot.

I learned system administration from the past three years of learning Linux for practical use and fun. I currently operate a dedicated server in Germany, for use as a mailserver and other self-hosted services. It runs the full p0ntus stack.

I own a channel called PontusHub on Telegram, where I post updates about my projects, along with commentary and info about my projects related to the Android rooting community. You can find us mainly on Matrix as: #pontushub:dontbeevil.lol

Hobbies

When I'm not programming, I can typically be found distro hopping or flashing a new ROM to my phone. I also spend a lot of time spreading Next.js and TypeScript propaganda to JavaScript developers.

I consider maintaining my devices as a hobby as well, as I devote a lot of time to it. I genuinely enjoy installing Arch, Gentoo, and NixOS frequently, and flashing new ROMs to the phones I own.

I am frequently active on my Forgejo server and GitHub, and aim to make daily contributions. I am a big fan of open source software and public domain software (which most of my repos are licensed under). In fact, the website you're currently on is free and open source. It's even released into the public domain!

When I touch grass, I prefer to walk on the streets, especially in Boston, Massachusetts. I also used to swim competitively, though it has turned into to a casual hobby over time.

Editing Wikipedia has also been a good pastime for me, and I have been editing for a year and a half now. As of writing, I have made 6.1k edits to the English Wikipedia. I am also an AfC reviewer, new page reviewer, and rollbacker. You can find me on Wikipedia as OnlyNano. I am not very active on Wikipedia due to my time constraints.

I also have a collection of devices that"s rapidly growing.

Devices

Mobile Devices

I use a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (komodo) as my daily driver. It runs Android 16 Canary and is rooted with KernelSU-Next.

My previous phone, the Google Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah), is still in use as my secondary WiFi-only device. It runs GrapheneOS Beta (Android 15).

I also have a Google Pixel 3a XL (bonito) which I use as a tertiary device. It runs LineageOS 22.2 and is rooted with Magisk.

Laptops

I currently daily-drive with a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 Max, 64GB of memory, 2TB of storage, 16 core CPU, and a 40 core GPU.

I use a Lenovo Thinkpad T470s with macOS Sequoia (using OpenCore) as my "side piece," if you will. I've had it for about a year now, though the screen has since broken.

I also own two MacBook Airs (2015 and 2013 base models) and an HP Chromebook, used as secondary devices. The 2013 runs unsupported macOS Sequoia Beta, the 2015 runs Xubuntu, and the Chromebook runs Arch Linux.

Contributions

I can be found on p0ntus git as aidan. You also can find me on GitHub as ihatenodejs.
