Personal Bio
Hello there! I'm one of the founders and maintainers of drgnz.club. I take care of server maintenance, updates and other things that noone really quite cares about. I'm generally interested in computer technology and GNU/Linux. Personally, I use Trisquel, Debian and Gentoo. I use this wiki page as a kind of info page about me in general.
Contact
If you want to talk to me, the fastest way to contact me is through my matrix (see sidebar). In drgnz.club we also have a public room, but you need to through the gate. I also use signal and telegram, but I don't give those out to people unless absolutely necessary.
General Interests
Other than minecraft I enjoy games like the Half-Life series, counter-strike 1.6, anything from Frictional Games, Command & Conquer: Red Allert, Team Fortress 2, sven-coop, hollow knight series, some old PS1 games.
I am also a music enjoyer. I always liked Pink Floyd, currently I am listening a lot to Dream Theater and a lot of rock/metal music, though I'm not a big fan of the kind of demonic retard headbanger crackhead metal that people usually think of when they hear the word metal, I distaste that perhaps even more than pop "music". I think Dream Theater is my favorite band right now. I hate electronic music, EDM and other types of robotic, uninspired soyslop music that soyjaks like along with most modern pop "music". I also like Christian music and classical/orchestral music.

When it comes to Computers, I wouldn't ever call myself a computer "nerd" but I got into that point sometime before the plandemic happened. Back in 2018-2019ish I was using ubuntu server on a laptop with 4 gigs of ram for a minecraft server. Because of the low ammount of RAM I needed something headless to run minecraft because the new versions were becoming quite RAM hungry. That was my only exposure to linux at the time.
Later in 2020 I bought a laptop with no windows license, so I thought I might try ubuntu on it. Since then I fell in love with linux and never returned to windows since. Currently I'm using Trisquel on my t440p ThinkPad. I'm a big believer in Free Software and I also try to use as much free software as possible. Though the concept itself is sound and well-argued, I dislike Richard Stallman and the FSF in general, but I wish him good health.
Religion, philosophy
Religiously and philosophically I find myself leaning more to orthodox Christianity though I'm not properly practicing, baptized or 100% sold. I have an interest in philosophy, metaphysics and logic as a concept, though have received no formal training and mostly self-taught (so I'm not gonna pretend like I'm any better at it than studied people). I have a secondary interest in history. I do have political opinions but I usually choose not to share them, since politics is secondary in my life.
In Minecraft and DrgnzCraft
My minecraft playstyle is is defined by my love for large and ambitious builds. I am a good planner but a terrible designer. I wasn't given the gift of being an artist and I know it about myself, but that's why I have waffelo to make beautiful designs for my ideas. I like doing the things waffelo doesn't: digging out large holes, doing chores, automatic sorter maintenance and improvement, so we work in harmony.
I'm also become kind of a redstoner, I did design some of my own redstone builds and designs, for example a an auto-dropper that shuts off when there are no items inside it to ease server load, and the same concept with a minecart unloader. I could not find any guides for these so I did them myself.
This is a list of the various builds on DrgnzCraft that I did
- The Fortress
- Aula Infernalis
- Imperial Pipeworks And Storage
- Railway System
- Nether Highway
- Dexxo's mountain house

List of Projects
Here is a list of projects for Kingdom of Derglandia, from highest priority to lowest. Treat it more like a todo list.
- Aquatic Station, currently heavily work in progress.
- Build a castle inside the Fortress. Build the inner city.
- Finish Aula Infernalis, finish walls, dome and individual floors. Planned for winter holidays.
- Re-do Industrial Area, make it overall more industrial looking, abolish certain farms or rebuilt. Also connect it to the aquatic station once built.
- Build new Railway, waffelo already started.
- Cliffside house or houses, remove that disgusting looking fortress wall and make a nice building there.
- Farms: gold farm, shulker farm, possibly copper farm
