Hi, I'm Vikyek 👋

I am an independent solo developer and indie author engineering high-reliability Linux system tools, Arch Linux packaging infrastructure, and developer utilities.

Every utility I publish is built out of a direct need for speed, stability, and zero-bloat architecture. I believe software should be fast, transparent, and completely free of tracking, telemetry, or corporate paywalls.

### 🛠️ Key Open-Source Projects

- **[paru-wrapper](https://github.com/Vikyek/paru-wrapper)** — Power-user wrapper for `paru` and `pacman` featuring a zero-overhead modular plugin hook architecture, automated local repository synchronization (`myrepo`), and seamless development (`-git`) migrations. Selected for the **XERJ Corpus Hub** as a reference implementation.
- **[paru-completion-hook](https://github.com/Vikyek/paru-completion-hook)** & **[rebuild-check-hook](https://github.com/Vikyek/rebuild-check-hook)** — Automated dynamic shell completion accelerators and soname library dependency verification hooks that prevent broken links during Arch upgrades.
- **[toon-mcp](https://github.com/Vikyek/toon-mcp)** — High-performance Model Context Protocol server implementing Terse Object Oriented Notation (TOON) to minimize AI token consumption and reduce context overhead by up to 40%.
- **[vlfstatus](https://github.com/Vikyek/vlfstatus)** — Ultra-lightweight asynchronous status bar daemon for desktop environments (i3, Sway, Waybar) with microsecond latency.
- **Linux Resilience Suite** — Practical storage, PAM, and filesystem recovery utilities including `bcachefs-iso-fabricator`, `btrfs-recovery-tool`, and `pam-alt-luks-compat`.

### 💖 Why Support My Work?

As a solo indie author, I maintain all my repositories, AUR packages (`PKGBUILD`, `.SRCINFO`), manual installation scripts, manpages, and automated test suites myself.

Your recurrent patronage on Liberapay directly funds:

1. **Hardware & Testbed Labs**: Testing filesystem recovery utilities, PAM modules, and kernel hooks requires real hardware partitions, dedicated test SSDs, and multi-kernel virtual machines.
2. **AUR & Packaging Maintenance**: Continuous upstream tracking, soname rebuilds, and bug fixes to keep tools working flawlessly against bleeding-edge Arch packages.
3. **True Independence**: Keeping all my tools 100% open-source, ad-free, and unencumbered by corporate sponsorship or commercial lock-in.

### 🎯 Baseline Goal: Monthly Living Essentials

My active milestone is **630 PLN / week** (~2,730 PLN / month / ~$680 USD).
Reaching this threshold covers my baseline monthly rent and utilities, giving me the stability to focus on independent open-source engineering full-time without commercial distractions.

Every recurring contribution—whether 5 PLN or 50 PLN a week—directly fuels independent, battle-tested Linux tooling. Thank you for your support!
