Interests

I play computer games since I am 7 years old. I started with Settler 5, Anno 1602 and Sim City 4. When I was 11 years old I discovered Minecraft on a friends birthday party through one of his friends and was really skeptical first but when I tried it I instantly fell in love with it. Shortly after that I got interested in Modding trough direwolf20 and fell in love with mods like Applied Energistics, Tinkers’ Construct or GregTech.

Then in 2011 I discovered Factorio. It has everything I loved about Modded Minecraft and was heavily inspired by it. Soon I started modifying and writing my own mods which surprisingly got several thousand downloads.

The following years I did several main and side projects including an Android app, contributions to a lot of open source projects, self hosting several services including Nextcloud, Mastodon, Matrix and much more. I started writing Docker Images which I collect in a public repository for everyone to use and improved a lot of Dockerfiles in open source projects. I am collecting Steam games and run a public 1:1 same set Steam card trade bot.

Maintained projects

nixpkgs/NixOS

I am a very active contributor and reviewer on the nixpkgs project, a purely functional packaging system. I also maintain a lot of packages which I personally use in my configuration or are dependencies in it.

ddclient

DDClient is a perl script which updates DynDNS services’s with an IP addresses sourced from routes, websites or ifconfig/ip.

factorio-docker

I am one of the maintainers of the factorio server docker image. I wrote most parts of the CI scripts, keep the images updated and occasionally fix bugs.

nixpkgs-review-checks

An extension to nixpkgs-review which queries hydra about the last build status and runs additional experimental checks.

Personal Projects

Docker images

All docker images I wrote live in that mono repo and get daily builds and pushes to Docker Hub.

I try to make every image multiarch (amd64, arm32v7, arm64v8) where native arm binaries are available or easily coss-compilable (eg Go) or the project is based on a scripting language.

Emoticons Sticker Pack for WhatsApp

A small app that adds 140+ stickers to WhatsApp.

Factorio mods

I have written severall mods for my all time favorite factory-building and management game Factorio.

My oldest mod is from well before the mod portal and only lives on the forums. You can get the source from GitHub.

Factorio mod archiver

The first data archiving script I wrote. It collects all factorio mods, downloads them with a hash file and optionally uploads it all to Google Drive.

Factorio mods bot

A small Telegram bot that sends messages to a Telegram channel whenever a new mod gets released or an existing one updated.
