So You Want To Connect With Me?

updated: 

First off, let me say thank you. I really do appreciate the people who take time out of their busy days to write to me. Kindness from strangers is always a great way to make someone's day better.

Sadly, as you know, the web is a pretty wild place and in my attempts to keep my digital life as quiet as possible, I’ve developed a reputation of being someone who’s hard to get in touch with.

The mediums I use every day (ish) that maximize your chance of connecting with me are:

Email

Email is the only medium I use all day every day and therefore is definitely the best way to contact me. Feel free to say hello to hello@bryanbrattlof.com or any of the addresses listed in my PGP key below.

Working in Public?

If you want to send me patches or any anything else you want keep public, please feel free to Carbon-Copy (CC) ~bryanb/inbox@lists.sr.ht (archive)

IRC

I'm also one of the holdouts still on IRC. Though this is mostly to talk to Linux people. However don't let that stop you from /msg bryanb hello on ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697

Fediverse

I bring new meanings to the word "lurk" when describing what I do on Mastodon: (@bb@toot.works) I'm on occasionally, though that becomes more regular around baseball season.

PGP Things

If you find yourself in the situation where you need to verify that you're absolutely talking to me, and only me, please feel free to use my PGP key. You can download my public key off keys.openpgp.org using this link, or using the Web Key Directory (WKD) like this:

$ gpg --auto-key-locate wkd --locate-keys hello@bryanbrattlof.com

As of Sun Jan 21 16:11:19 2024, my public key looks like:
