On this website, you will find wikis about shell literacy.

These are just my own wiki files. I create these wikis with commands I use, but don’t necessarily remember, so I can go back to them when needed.1

About me:

I do independent2 research in philosophy and technology.

I also do freelance in customer development (I help tech teams build products users will actually use and/or pay for) and teach people & companies how to do low-data computing and/or low-data websites. I also maintain https://copyleftculture.com.

I don’t use a smartphone; that doesn’t mean I reject technology, obviously: I am a technophile.

You can keep track of my move away from digital glebes3 via twtxt, and you can receive updates of wikis I publish by subscribing to this RSS feed.
