Here I'm building gradually my personal website.
I plan on publishing useful resources regarding computer science (mainly linux, applications i fancy, ...), photos and routes of some hikes, movies/books i can recommend, resources for learning and some more stuff.
And maybe some videos or articles i find very interesting.

What I do

I am studying Computer Science at ETH. In my freetime I go hiking, running, read a book, watch a movie, ...
Whenever possible I use open source software.

Programs by me

• Simple Reaction Daemon
  • A light-weight systemd daemon to regularly ping hosts and perform actions if a given host is down

Technology

• Nextcloud - Upgrading
• ArchLinux setup
  • Archlinux ARM setup
  • Disable LED on a raspberry pi
  • Disable Thinkpad LED
• my zsh setup
• Private VPN server with wireguard

Tech stuff I plan on writing

This list has no particular order:

• Why to use OpenWRT on your router respective access point
  • How i have set it up
• pihole setup on a raspberry pi
  • use Archlinux ARM and package pi-hole-server
• vim
  • Tutorial on youtube
• tmux
• personal website (this one you are viewing right now)
  • created using pelican
  • How i created it (will eventually land on github without the images)

Studying at ETH

• Entrance exam
  • janiks.me
  • Biology resources
    • Biologie - simpleclub
  • Maths
    • Daniel Jung
• Basisjahr
• EULER
  • use as small supercomputer
• jumphost
  • use intermediate server to connect to ETH internal server (like EULER) from outside the ETH network
• Experiences of specific courses
  • Systems Programming and Computer Architecture
    • Unix50
    • Unix50 - Timothy Roscoe
    • USENIX ATC '21/OSDI '21 Joint Keynote Address-It's Time for Operating Systems to Rediscover Hardware
  • HPCSE I - High Performance Computing for Science and Engineering
    • If you are interesting in writing code that is parallelized on a thread level (using OpenMP) and can utilize multiple computers (using OpenMPI) while also learning about the different performance metrics of an application to measure its performance.
  • Experimentelle Spieltheorie
• Moving to Zurich/Switzerland
  • Housing
    • woko.ch
    • juwo.ch
    • prosenectute.ch
      • This is how i found my housing; I can really recommend it but it may not be for everyone (especially if you seek a more 'classical' student life)
    • wohnen.ethz.ch
  • Sights
    • Uetliberg
    • Hönggerberg
    • Chinawiese
    • Zürisee

If you have any questions, you are hereby encouraged to write me an email
