iBug

Developer, System Administrator, Geek

Master student majoring in CS at USTC, hobbiest programmer and passionate geek. Mostly a developer and Linux system administrator.

Python, C, C++ and Go are my primary options for course labs and new projects, though I always like trying something new (and that’s why I have a little bit of taste of everything).

Also loves casual gaming, puzzle gaming, and Counter-Strike 2.

In action

I’m an active contributor on GitHub across various repositories, and the current maintainer of Minimal Mistakes. You can see a list of my open-source contributions if you’re interested.

I’m also an avid user on Stack Overflow:

Working environment

My headless workstation in office is equipped with Ryzen 9 5950X, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Docker, LXD, KVM (libvirt), plus all the bells and whistles, and I do my work over SSH (and VS Code Remote - SSH) every day.

Windows Terminal is the best terminal for Windows.
