Hi, I’m “DarthVi”, an IT enthusiast with a Master’s Degree in Computer Science. Aside from CS, I’m also interested in reading, listening to podcasts and gaming. Through this blog I want to share my thoughts about stuff I find interesting and about my “adventures” and projects regarding CS.

My nickname

My nickname (DarthVi) comes from the way Sith Lords name themselves in Star Wars and it also contains part of my name (the “Vi” part). This doesn’t mean I want to look edgy or “dark”, I simply chose it years ago because I thought it sounded cool and ended up using it online.

My passions

Here’s a list of my passions:

• 💻 Computer Science and IT
• 🔬 Science in general
• 🎮 Videogames
• 🎲 Tabletop games (this is a recent one, I’m no expert at all and I own only very few of them)
• 📖 Reading (mainly fantasy, sci-fy and also non-fiction)
• 🎙️ Listening to podcasts
• 🎥 Movies

My favourite podcasts

My favourite podcasts are Hello Internet and Cortex. The first one is currently “in pause”, there are no more episodes coming out regularly, but it has a lot of backlog content to listen to. The latter is still alive, with episodes coming out monthly. Below you can find their logos.

Social media and the like

• Mastodon has become my favourite social media platform, slowly replacing Twitter
• Github where you can see some of my repositories
• Matrix chat, which is a modern decentralized istant messaging protocol inspired by the old IRC and based on HTTP and WebRTC
