Me stuff

Hello there and welcome to my website (Still under construction). Nice seeing you here! I am mostly active on the internet as u/Khyta on Reddit. I am a passionate book lover and also sometimes do art and photography. I love technology and also like to tinker with it, even when it means to brick one's audio setup in Ubuntu or to get the layout of my papers just right with LaTeX or to experiment with Stable Diffusion. Programming is also a thing which I do in my free time, including building up this website (Which is hosted on IPFS!) I currently am pursuing to finish the 2nd year of the IB Diploma program.

Website hosting on IPFS

Because I hosted this website on IPFS it benefits vastly from other people pinning it. Pinning content on IPFS generates a local copy of the content which is then distributed to other peers. This means that the more people pin it, the more likely it is that the content is available to others for fast access. The hash (IPNS) to resolve with ipfs is:

Reddit stuff

I volunteer as a moderator on the Reddit social media platform. There is a wide variety of Subreddits which I help moderate.

Incomplete list of Subs

My ultimate goal is to work for Reddit Inc. one day and be a part of the community. I want to shape it in a meaningful way to help it build wonderful communities for the people.

Book stuff

I like science-fiction the most as a genre. Currently, I am pulled towards sci-fi books with a time travel element in them. I also quite like sci-fi books with AI or other intelligent robots as protagonists.

Have stuff

Some of the books which I've read are classics. But most of them are quite new and fit into the science-fiction genre.

Want stuff

I have quite a lot of books on my tbr (to be read) list. This list increases almost every time with every visit of the /r/suggestmeabook subreddit or also when I read an anomymized passage in the Recomend Me A Book App (pshhht: They also have a Website). After reading the passage, I can uncover which book I've read and from which author it is. This makes me less likely to judge a book by it's cover.

Art stuff

In my free time I sometimes do a bit of photography. Especially when I'm taking holidays and want to capture nice moments. Occasionally I also do a bit of 3D art using Blender. I've also dabbled into creating artworks with Stable Diffusion.

Photo stuff

To view some pictures I've taken, please visit my Unsplash profile. I currently (2023.04.29) have 5.2 million views and 35k downloads on all the pictures I've uploaded there. I also occasionally take pictures in the holidays for personal pleasure which I do not upload on the Internet.

3D stuff

I haven't uploaded my 3D stuff on unsplash as I did not think that would fit there. To find those 3D renders, one has to go through the posts on my Reddit Profile.
