Privacy, Terms & The Machine

1. The Nature of This Site

This website is a mixture of technical documentation, open-source code, artistic expression and personal notes. It operates at the intersection of human creativity and machine generation.

Disclaimer: Much of the written content on this blog is artistic in nature. It may contain satire, fiction, or exaggerated narratives fitting a steampunk/dystopian aesthetic. Texts should be viewed through an artistic lens and not necessarily treated as literal statements of fact or binding advice.

It's much about my latest idea - stackless. 
Stackless programming has, amongst other things and style,
the huge advantage of making stack overflows impossible.
Buffer overflows would be possible, but won't(shouldn't..) open
the possibilities of code injection or return attacks.

All code here is written by me, personally.
To me coding is an art.

Besides, there is no connection with suckless.
What remembers me, this could be a good starting point
to note some thoughts about Stallman, Thorvalds, and Bernstein.

Me favorizing a minimalistic style, broken down into
small units, or highly abstracted. Less code means less errors..
