I participate in Deuxfleurs, a self-hosted platform for chat, email, collaboration and file storage, where we use techniques from distributed systems to build fault tolerance. Deuxfleurs is not only a technical endeavor: we are trying to promote alternative ways of using computers and the Internet to a large audience for everyday uses, to be more in line with our political ideals. Website.
I am the lead developer of Garage, a distributed object store we created for the needs of Deuxfleurs. Garage provides integrity, redundancy and fault-tolerance while running on commodity hardware. Website, code.
I am/was a contributor to other Deuxfleurs software projects such as wgautomesh, tricot, aerogramme, bottin, and others.
I helped Deuxfleurs transition its infrastructure to NixOS. I also use it for most of my personnal stuff, and I occasionnaly contribute to nixpkgs.
View all my code here and some of it also there. See also my profile on GitHub.
