### Hi I'm Rootiest 👋

- Name: Chris (or rootiest)
- he/him
- MA, USA (English)

I'm a software developer and maker.

I'm currently spending most of my time working on
[Klipper](https://klipper3d.org) and
[Voron](https://vorondesign.com) related projects.

My dotfiles are available
[here](https://github.com/rootiest/dotfiles).

My neovim dotfiles are available
[here](https://github.com/rootiest/rootiest-nvim).

I've also designed some PCBs for 3D printers and home automation projects.

I enjoy self-hosting, here are a few of my public services:

- [Rootiest Gitea](https://git.rootiest.dev) (Gitea Instance) - Git repository server (like Github)
- [Rootiest Gists](https://gists.rootiest.dev) (OpenGist Instance) - Code-sharing server (easily share single-file code/text)
- [Rootiest Shorties](https://url.rootiest.dev) (URL Shortener) - Make short URLs that forward to long addresses
- [Rootiest Notes](https://notes.rootiest.dev) (Notes/Memos Server) - Like Google Keep with MarkDown support
- [Rootiest Vault](https://vault.rootiest.dev) (VaultWarden Instance) - BitWarden-based password manager
- [Rootiest Wakatime](https://wakatime.rootiest.dev) (WakAPI Instance) - Tracks coding statistics without retention limits
- [Rootiest Photos](https://photos.rootiest.dev) (Immich Instance) - Photo storing and organizing (requires invite due to storage costs)
- More will probably be added to this list over time as I find more fun services to host!
