Other Interests and links

Some of my other areas of interest include

• Generalized Programming and Data Science
• Selfhosting

I self-host various services that I use to keep track of what I am doing. Some that you might find interesting include:

• My blog. This is where keep essays on current thoughts.
• My personal wiki. I have found that I understand something best if I have to explain it, so I use this public wiki to track my current and past understanding. I also keep track of resources, tools, etc. as I find them. My goal is to turn this into a resource for others to use in their own work.
• My personal code repository. Due to my background in IT, I prefer to track the work on my projects using Git and a code forge (e.g. Gitea, GitLab, or Github). This is where you will find code from my research projects.

What is this You-ain't-I stuff?

The username or handle that I frequently adopt across the internet is youainti. One day I went to signup for a service and all the nice usernames were taken. I was trying to come up with something I could use and thought: "These other users aren't me." Suddenly I thought "You ain't I", and here we are.
