Programming weird stuff
Hi! I am auth and I like to auth around! I can't say much about who I am really, there's not much to me anyways other than me doing photography as a hobby and obviously.. programming!
I contribute to many large open source projects that effectively run the internet! Such as the Linux kernel, Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMap. I effectively have the internet in my hands (no it is not)
This site serves as a portfolio/personal-site mashed up together into multiple spicy files that you have the privilege to view as its own.

my main project
auth's RNG
A browser-based incremental game built almost entirely from scratch, and the project I've lived in for a long minute!
It began as a RNG mechanic to one of my hobby ISS tracker sites, which my friend liked, and then transformed into a full game. It uses it's own RNG engine, has it's own database and backend, accounts, backups, a lot more than you'd expect from a gambling-esque web game!
my contributions
Linux
I've contributed to the Linux kernel itself!
I've had patches backported into stable kernels, such as use-after-free fixes, basic one-liners like kfree -> kfree_sensitive, or more complex patches. I mainly review patches nowadays.

Wikipedia
When I don't have the motivation to go through the hell of git send-email.. I contribute to Wikipedia.
I mainly fix tone, add links between articles, and occasionally if I'm feeling spicy... add sources or citations! I don't really have much to say other than that.
my contributions pt.3
OpenStreetMap
I mainly contribute to my local city and neighbourhood and it's pretty addictive for me at some times! I do this a LOT more often than Wikipedia.
I just edit whatever StreetComplete gives me.
other stuff! :)
Further afield
I have other projects that I work on from time to time, but they are not as big or active as my main project(s).
- Bloom
- A personal opinionated Linux distribution, shaped around my own workflow (I use it as of right now!) https://github.com/auth1ery/bloom
- rngames
- A directory for gacha/RNG webgames! I mostly made it because I was sick of how scarce they are on the web. https://auth1ery.github.io/rngames
- cupcake
- A visual JavaScript node editor which is really damn buggy... (and unfortunately vibecoded which is probably the sole reason it's buggy as shit) https://cupcake.cloudlull.fyi
- How to spot something that is vibecoded
- It speaks for itself. https://auth1ery.github.io/how-to-spot-something-that-is-vibecoded/
- HI DUDE
- Stupid game I made for tazl that revolves around a stupid inside joke. https://auth1ery.github.io/HIDUDE/
- Synth
- A terminal TODO list manager. https://github.com/auth1ery/synth
don't be scared... i don't bite!
Let's talk.
Whether it's about a project, a bug you found, or just want some help on stuff, my inbox is open and I'm highly active!! I am not currently looking for work as of right now.
Yes... I am everywhere. The auth is always watching.....................
(If I am not listed here or the username is wrong from here but I tell you to "follow" or "friend" me on that account or platform THAT IS NOT ME!)
