About me
I'm a high school student in the United States. When I have time, I enjoy writing unoptimized code, messing around with Linux and servers, or practicing for CyberPatriots. Fedora KDE btw.
Work
With senior year of high school well under way, it's difficult to find time, but over the summer I was able to work on some projects, the most prominent among them being FetchCv, a developer profile site that I'm working on with a friend. If you want to see what project I'm working on this week, it'll be up on my GitHub.
Recently, I've been working on a server, an old desktop from around 2010. It's running Kubuntu, because for some reason I decided a desktop OS would be great for a server. Now I'm trying to self-host everything, from photo backup with Immich to file backup with Rysnc to web analytics, along with a self-hosted Forgejo instance. Everything's up on my website at hnasheralneam.dev.
A small tool I've made is Activity Log, a time tracking tool with graphs.
