### Info
{{< profile-picture >}}
Hello! I'm known as _"redstrate"_! I tend to create things to fill my own niches, and like to learn by doing. This website
is not only my personal corner of the Internet, but also the archive of everything that I created :-)
I'm known as **redstrate**, and I create things to fill my own niche. I program, draw, and occasionally
make bad music and edit videos. I'm an infrequent contributor to open source projects, and also a KDE developer. In my free time, I like to cook and study languages (the linguistic kind).
I primarily speak English, but currently learning Japanese. My progress so far: completed learning ひりがな and かたかな,
and moving onto basic grammar and counting (hence why the rest of this sentence is still in english...)
I like developing software that I would personally use, and it also fills a niche or problem that either isn't adequately solved, or
maybe just want to learn how to do it myself. My languages of choice usually are [C](/tags/c), [C++](/tags/c++), and [Rust](/tags/rust) - and that's what you'll find most of the projects using!
Drawing has been a hobby of mine ever since childhood, and I try to draw when I can. I'm not a professional artist (nor ever will be) so my posting schedule is erratic. My preferred software is [Krita](https://krita.org) when I'm at home, and [Procreate](https://procreate.art) on the go. I also like to animate, but I don't really get the chance to sit down and do it anymore.
I also like to administrate my own servers, and that's what's hosting the website you're reading right now! You can find more details about this setup below.

## Languages
English is my first language, but currently learning two new languages. Here is my current progress:
*Japanese*: &#9733; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734;
*German*: &#9733; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734;

As you can probably tell, I like working with Linux, and using alternative operating systems in general. My preferred desktop environment is
KDE and I enjoy using both Gentoo and Arch Linux.
As you can probably tell, I like working with [Linux](https://kernel.org/), and using alternative operating systems in general. My preferred desktop environment is [KDE](https://kde.org) and I prefer using [Gentoo](https://gentoo.org/), [Fedora](https://getfedora.org) and [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org).
### Software
The primary reason why I develop software is that I find a niche or a problem that either isn't adequately solved, or
want to learn how to do it myself. I don't like developing software just to "develop" it, like mindlessly following a trend
or a tutorial.
I like working in [C](/tags/c), [C++](/tags/c++), and [Rust](/tags/rust) - and that's what you'll find most of the projects using!
### Art
Drawing has been a hobby of mine ever since childhood, and I still try to draw when I can. My preferred software is Krita
(FOSS FTW) when I'm at home, and Procreate on the go. In very rare cases, I'll even stream some of my art process on
Picarto!
