Welcome to Samsai's home page!

I am a software engineer and livestreamer. I spend my working days at a corporate slinging code and bad ideas and evenings either hacking on my on projects, playing video games and/or livestreaming.

Here I mostly blog about Linux things, programming, various life things and about how big tech is out to get you. I have also in the past written for GamingOnLinux as an editor and still maintain editor status, but am relatively inactive besides basic moderation.
