About Me

Aloha! I'm CiQL, also known by my gamertag VentingNonsense. I used to go by several other names but I've pretty much solidified behind these. I don't like being referred to by my real name unless I've met you in person, and I don't like meeting people in person, so it's best to just refer to me as one of my previously-mentioned names or any derivation thereof. That being said, I don't exactly hide it, so it's left as a show of trust which I hope you don't abuse.

You can find me on XMPP as vn@ciql.net (which is also my email) and on Matrix as @vn:ciql.net or @ciql:matrix.org if my matrix server is down. I'm also on the fediverse as @vn@ciql.net, and on Bluesky as @red.ciql.net, which you can find a link to on my main page. I'm also on Discord as ventingnonsense, where I have some kind of Sunset Shimmer avatar. (The story behind the character being my Discord avatar is long and uninteresting, but I've committed to the gimmick for nearly a decade now.)

This webserver is hosted on a DigitalOcean (affiliate link) droplet running Debian Stable. In my daily life I run Bazzite as my main OS, and my laptop runs SteamOS because my laptop is a Steam Deck.

Also, here's my public GPG key (binary).
