About
Deltie
Who I am
operator noteI am Ottavian Ricci, though I usually go by as Tavi or Delta. I am a sociology student in Rotterdam, currently working part time at DHL eCommerce, and active in the socialist youth organisation: ROOD.
My interests sit somewhere between society and systems: political theory, infrastructure, media, optimisation, self-hosting, writing, and the awkward question of who actually owns the tools people rely on every day. (spoiler alert: its usually a stinky rich asshole)
I like learning by building. I find that way gives you a deep understanding of the fundamentals, and then all that is left is applying it! This site, the services behind it, and the server beside my shoe cabinet are partly practical tools and partly long-running experiments in understanding how digital infrastructure works when you stop treating it like magic.
What this is
deltie.netdeltie.net is my personal hub. It holds the boring-useful things: my CV, contact information, infrastructure notes, a services index, and political writing. The goal is to have one stable place I can hand to people without needing five platform profiles and a pile of context.
The more creative and media-heavy side lives at tavimedia.net. Deltie is the index, identity page, and public doorway. Tavimedia is the media archive and service ecosystem.
