MentalNet.xyz

Welcome to my digital realm. This is the home server of a passionate enthusiast of extreme metal, hardcore music, Linux systems, programming, and above all -- freedom of expression.

Consider this a sanctuary for the underground, the technical, and the free-spirited. Explore and discover what resonates with you.

🎸Music: From Extreme to Experimental

My musical journey spans the spectrum from brutal extremes to modern innovation. I'm passionate about exploring sound in all its forms, with a particular focus on the raw intensity of underground music.

Extreme Metal & Hardcore

From the blast beats of death metal to the dissonance of black metal, from the brutality of hardcore these genres form the foundation of my musical identity.

Modern Underground

I also embrace the innovation happening in modern pop/hip-hop-influenced underground scenes, where genre boundaries blur and new sounds emerge.

🐧Linux & Open Technology

Linux isn't just an operating system -- it's a statement about how technology should work. As a dedicated Linux user, I believe in systems that are:

Open -- transparent in design and operation
Customizable -- adaptable to specific needs
Community-driven -- built by users, for users
Free -- in both senses: free speech and free beer

This server runs on Linux, naturally, showing the power of open-source solutions for personal infrastructure.

💻Coding & Development

Code is poetry written for machines. Through programming, we create worlds, solve problems, and bridge the gap between human intention and digital execution.

My coding interests include web development, system scripting, automation, and experimenting with various languages and paradigms. Like the technical precision of extreme metal, good code requires discipline, creativity, and attention to detail.

This website itself is a playground for my coding experiments -- minimalist yet expressive, like a well-crafted mosh riff.

✊Freedom of Expression

At the core of my interests in music, technology, and code is a fundamental belief: freedom of expression is essential. Whether it's the unfettered artistic expression in extreme metal, the liberation of open-source software, or the creative freedom of writing code, I advocate for spaces where ideas can flow freely.

I believe in:

Digital privacy and ownership of personal data, that providers requesting data for analytics should make sure the data is anonymized or non-sensitive to the users
Artistic freedom without corporate or social constraints
Open knowledge and the democratization of information
Community-driven alternatives to monopolistic platforms
