About me

Hey there, I'm Laura (~zotan, she/they), and I'm a queer, anarchist & antifascist network engineer, system administrator and software developer.

You can find me in hackerspaces across Germany, primarily in Berlin, Munich and Karlsruhe. Most recently, I was seen at Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe.

Here you can find my contact info, crypto keys, projects, and a few links.

Many of my services are IPv6-only, and more are soon to follow. Your browser preferred IPv4 while connecting to this website, so please check your connection for IPv6 support before contacting me if your browser displays a network error.
