contact
chat
the best way to get ahold of me is irc (if i'm not around, i'll see
it soon™). i'm benharri on freenode and ben on
tilde.chat
i'm also on xmpp as ben@hmm.st. feel free to drop me a line there if irc is too tricky!
if you don't have an xmpp account, you can register one on my server. there's even a web chat!
i have too many email addresses (eg *@bhh.sh), but i
mainly use ben@tilde.team or mail@benharr.is. if you use gpg, make sure to use my tilde.team
address. here's my pubkey.
social media?
i'm on twitter and mastodon, but i try not to check them all that much.
