Hey.

You can find me on Cohost, social media is overrated anyway.

This version of my webpage is based on the JOHN DOE template.

About

My name's Niko Voidlynx, I go by Reth online. I'm non-binary and use they/them pronouns. A fox online, still figuring out the fursona. I'm from Russia and live in a UTC+5 timezone.

You could call me an Apple Enthusiast, I guess. Proudly a macOS user (OpenCore Ventura on a ThinkPad).

I enjoy indie video games, rock music, and a few podcasts.

Work

I'm not proud of my earlier work, to be honest. So here's more-or-less recent stuff that I've made.

• Relay FM Feed Bot

  It's usefulcitation needed to have posts about new podcast episodes in a chronological timeline right on your social media. So I've built this bot in 2 days or so just for that. Well, 2 days not counting countless bugfixes, because of course RSS feeds are like that.

• FurCode v2

  An update of the original FurCode spec, 25 years later, modernized.

• NMF Audio Archive (Build 15.0)

  Tagged MP3 archive for the OST of the No More Future visual novel.

Recommendations

A list of a things I personally use/enjoy, and would like others to know about. In no specific order, of course. This list will expand in the future.

Podcasts

• Upgrade

  Every week, Myke Hurley and Jason Snell chat about tech and it's impact on our lives. This podcast usually gets good around the time that Apple Events happen. Average episode runtime: 90 minutes.

• Cortex

  A monthly chat between CGP Grey and Myke Hurley about their working lives as independent content creators. Love this one, a must-listen if you're into productivity tech. Average episode runtime: 100 minutes.

• Thoroughly Considered

  Monthly show, where Myke Hurley discusses the ups and downs of running a small indie business with Dan Provost and Tom Gerhardt of Studio Neat. It's neat if you like listening to folks rambling about product design. Average episode runtime: 70 minutes.

• Ungeniused

  Bi-weekly bite-sized show, covering an interesting Wikipedia article every episode. It's like a snack for a short walk. Average episode runtime: 10 minutes.

• Conduit

  Bi-weekly show, in which Kathy Campbell and Jay Miller chat about keeping balance of life and productivity, as well as their listeners chipping in about their own balance of it. Kinda fell out of listening to it, but it's pretty inspiring listening to viewer feedback, and getting some stuff done in your life too. Average episode runtime: 60 minutes.

• Reconcilable Differences

  Bi-weekly open-topic podcast by Merlin Mann and John Siracusa. Wish I've understood most of the things they're talking about, I'm so behind on pop-culture references. Average episode runtime: 90 minutes.

Software

• Rectangle

  You cannot use a Mac without Rectangle. This app is a lifesaver, because I love keeping most my windows tidy. And this app makes it incredibly simple, for free.

• Obsidian

  Probably the best note-taking (and writing) app out there. I don't take notes much, but if I ever have to - Obsidian is my choice. Extensible, relatively light, free, crossplatform.

• f.lux

  As of recently, I've noticed that my eyesight got worse. And caring about your eyesight is very important. I usually set this to a more colour-accurate mode though. Still, great software.

Contact

I prefer contact by Email, you can write me over at [email protected]. You can also contact me via Telegram, but I will ignore or block you if you just text me "Hello" with no follow-up.

In case you want to send me money, you can do it via Boosty or DonationAlerts, due to The Current Circumstances.

Woah, a hidden section! I'm predicting that Elon is going to die before 2025. This idiot is eventually going to poison himself or something. I'm gonna make the day he dies a personal holiday, same with any other billionaire. Bezos, Zuck, whoever else.
