Hei Hei, I'm Connor Alecks
Welcome to my
home page. I like coding and Nix, two things which go well together... in theory.
About me
- 🎓 Y2 BSc Computer Science @ The Netherlands
- ❄️ Deep in Nix and NixOS, my server is the only thing not running it (Unraid took my money)
- 🦀 Learning Rust, as is everyone
- 🐍 Detest python, too much trauma
- 🧬 Switched from git to jj (Jujutsu) and so should you
- 🖥️ Daily-driving Hyprland on all devices
- 🏊 I like swimming
What I'm tinkering with
nix-dots → my NixOS setup built on flake-parts, for me and family/friends
learning-rust → working through Rust fundamentals, project by project
Languages
I know these languages, not in any particular order:
- Nix
- French
- C#
- Java
- English
and I am learning these languages:
- Rust
Some things I've worked on
- Built a full-stack inventory tracking app (Java/JavaFX) as part of coursework, handled both UI logic and backend.
- Contributed to a robotics coursework project involving drone simulation and keeping a virtual "digital twin" in sync with real robot position data.
My Dots
My dots are quite modular but not overly complex, I like things quite minimal
you can see more screenshots and the files
here.

Special Mentions
Special mentions to these people and/or projects they are amazing and I wish them and their communities the world:
- Vimjoyer - For introducing me to Nix and bringing great projects to my eyes.
- raf - Makes great things I'm unsure if they're human with all that ability.
- Nixos-Apple-Silicon - For saving me from Fedora (never even tried it).
- Asahi Linux - Almost never need to touch MacOS now.
- Hyprland - Love everyone in the nix-nixos channel <3
- Lix - Looking forward to a better future with Nix.
Any Problems?
