Introducing ret2pop
Table of Contents
Figure 1: All Hope Abandon, Ye Who Enter Here
Hello! I'm a person on the internet that does things, such as:
- Music
- Programming
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Linguistics
- Thinking about stuff
And if you're here to do one of these things, I guarantee you're in the right place!
1. Journal
If you're interested, you can read my journal. Note that this journal is not my entire personal life but instead will be a focus on interesting things that I think of or things that are of a technical nature.
2. Blog
My blog contains many longer writings that do not fit into the mindmap format, and some of my writings on some of the projects that I've done.
3. Mindmap
I also have a mindmap, for those of you who are interested in knowing everything.
4. Configurations
Most of my configurations/dotfiles for various programs are literate configurations, and I can therefore publish them. So I did! Configurations include:
- EMacs
- Elfeed
- Qutebrowser
…and many more!
5. Projects
My programming projects can be found on my git server; other projects that do not directly pertain to my projects on git or need a more in-depth explanation are explained further in my blog. I also have a github for those interested.
6. Music and Media
Most of the music that I have recorded can be found on my Youtube channel. Note that it will also contain other things that I filmed.
7. Agenda
Here, you can view my public agenda. It contains scheduled meetings with friends, my groceries, current projects that are in progress, and my groceries. I also keep track of a private agenda, but of course that won't be kept in a public repository.
I think that it's cool to automatically and transparently let people know what I'm up to, so you don't have to ask. Also, it gives me some motivation to do things if a part of my agenda is public.
8. About
Who is the man behind ret2pop? How do you contact him? So many mysteries await…
8.1. About this Website
I wrote this website in org mode. For more information, see the README. Here is how I upload my website:
git add .
rsync -azvP --chmod="Du=rwx,Dg=rx,Do=rx,Fu=rw,Fg=r,Fo=r" ~/website_html/ root@nullring.xyz:/usr/share/nginx/ret2pop/
Then I run magit after.
9. Donate
If you like anything that I do, donate! But should you use cryptocurrency? Should
it be used as a means of exchange? Probably not, but it's cool and free for me to do so here you go.
Alternatively for all of these addresses, you can use ret2pop.eth, if you can resolve ENS.
9.1. XMR
An anonymous form of ecash, the only one out of these that is actually being used for the purpose
of currency (on the dark web):

9.2. ETH (And associated tokens)
Utility in the form of smart contracts (which are perhaps useful for something important in the future),
with first mover advantage in this regard:
0x135Ed80afB7Cd06E494e5Bb737Da8D4B23153480
Note that this includes subprojects such as LINK which I find to have some value.
9.3. BTC
The standard, and probably will continue to be used as a prediction market/speculative asset for the
efficacy of other cryptocurrencies:

Note that all of the above cryptocurrencies I believe are either potentially useful for some niche, or have value because of their de-facto link to other currencies that are useful for some niche.
9.4. Do I advocate for using these as currencies?
Only Monero; maybe they can become better than fiat, but that algorithm that keeps them stable does not really exist yet. Ethereum has some interesting usecases such as with DeFi.
