README

The seventh section of the UNIX man.-pages is dedicated to miscellaneous topics. The convention for referring to pages is by writing “page(N),” where “N” is the section-number, and from there the name “zerau(7)[1]Pronounced “ZERO SEVEN.” is derived. The tagline is “[f]rom the darkness, we rise to the light” – an English translation of a line from the Swedish version of the Internationale: “från mörkret stiga vi från ljuset.” zerau(7) was created on the late evening (UTC+2) of June 18th, 2022.

I am Liele Zerau,[2]Pronounced “LEEL ZERO,” but spelled in a pretentious way. the author of this blog. I mostly write about politics, but the odd life-story also makes its way here. As for those politics, they’re generally left-wing. The way I like to describe my politics is by referring to a phrase used in the programme of the Swedish Left Party’s youth-wing: I want a “classless society, free of oppression – a communist society.” Perhaps it’s a bit optimistic, but if we didn’t aim for the stars, we would never have landed on the Moon.

zerau(7) is hosted on NoBlogs, a blogging-service provided by the Autistici/Inventati-collective. If you like this blog, consider donating to A/I; their servers aren’t free of charge.

“Liele Zerau” is not my real name and this is not what I look like:

A cartoon of a smiling person, standing against a light-blue background.
A portrait I use to represent myself.

As a general rule, I try to link to archived versions of web-pages instead of the web-pages themselves. This is for the sake of posterity, link-rot being one of the vices of the Internet. It’s also partially to cover my backside in case a web-page changes between me writing and publishing a blog-post and someone reading it. If you want to know what I’ve been looking at, there you go.

As the footer of every page here would suggest, the content I post here is – unless otherwise is stated – licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International. The reason I chose this license in particular is because while I don’t support the existence of Copyright, dedicating works to the Public Domain can be a bit tricky if a jurisdiction doesn’t have a notion of a “public domain” – hence why Creative Commons Zero provides both a Public Domain-dedication and a functionally equivalent fallback-license for such jurisdictions. CC0 is a good license, but CC BY-SA has the advantage of being a Copyleft-license. Unfortunately, Creative Commons doesn’t have a “CC0 SA”- or just a “CC SA”-license, and I’m not able to write my own.

Contact-info

I can be reached via email at liele.zerau@autistici.org. If you’ve snail-mail for me, just send it to random addresses in Sweden and you’ll eventually hit the right one.

I’m also on Twitter as @lielezerau.
