My name is ankhi. I live on planet earth. I have several aliases on the internet. Time travelling CIA glowies from 2 decades ago stole my username. - ankhi - xnkhi - xnkh - ankh I'm typically known for creating art and software. They are often the same. People sometimes ask if I work for the KCC. Do you work for the CIA? preamble I grew up in isolation. Most spend their childhood on earth. Mine was spent on a Dell Latitude E6440 and a ROG Strix G513QY. Have you ever heard of lain? I have since moved out. :D This website was created to write about myself and my thoughts. hardware -` ankhi@notebook .o+` -------------- `ooo/ OS: Arch Linux x86_64 `+oooo: Host: ROG Strix G513QY_G513QY (1.0) `+oooooo: Kernel: Linux 6.18.6-arch1-1 -+oooooo+: Uptime: 12 hours `/:-:++oooo+: Packages: 1110 (pacman) `/++++/+++++++: Shell: zsh 5.9 `/++++++++++++++: Display (CMN1540): 2560x1440, 165 Hz Built-in `/+++ooooooooooooo/` Display (AT220H): 1920x1080, 60 Hz External ./ooosssso++osssssso+` WM: niri 25.11 (Wayland) .oossssso-````/ossssss+` Terminal: alacritty 0.16.1 -osssssso. :ssssssso.
