Who am I?
My name is Hippolyte Chauvin and I'm born in 2004. I study the computer science bachelor (BUT Informatique) at the technological university institute of Grenoble (IUT2 Grenoble), where I follow the course named "Communicating and secure application deployment" which is about system administration and IT security. I gained passion for the Linux ecosystem in 2022, which I use daily since back then.
I was introduced to the world of computers in my young age, when I could spend hours on the family's computer messing around with the operating system and trying to explore every feature it had built in. This experience slowly led me to want to learn how to seriously use a computer, and later to study the field of cybersecurity.
I am also fascinated by music: I play drums, I DJ, and I produce electronic music under the name Ahurac.

My projects
Commitment to software and Internet freedom
Since 2023, I host free software based services on the web thanks to my personnal server, tera-io. These services allow me to escape from ones provided by privacy disrespecting big corporates, and at the same time enhance my system administration and service deployment knowledge.
tera-io, my personnal serverYou can find links to services I host on this website's homepage.
qemush
qemush is a wrapper for the QEMU software. This emulator has a lot of features, and running QEMU machines can sometimes require a lot of command line arguments. qemush aims to provide an unified interface and a basic abstract layer to this software.
qemush is written in a very portable way (in POSIX shell). It works with a system of launchers : a laucher is an user-written subscript called by the main program, that invokes a QEMU process in the end.
You can find qemush's source code in its repo on my self-hosted instance of the source code forge Forgejo.
Music career
I have released a bunch of electronic music songs since 2019. Despite being a proprietary platform, you can find my work on YouTube. I create everything on my personnal computer, using as much as free software as I can.
Here is my latest song to this date:
