ARCHIVE / EARLIER AUTHOR

The writer behind
the earlier archive.

THT, who used the name TheHolyTachanka, wrote the personal site previously hosted at this address. This is a historical profile, not a byline for the new edition.

What the archive shows

In a 2023 homepage snapshot, the writer introduced himself as THT (TheHolyTachanka), said he was from Bulgaria, and described an interest in information security, Linux and free software. A later About page from 2025 added Rust programming, robotics and political commentary to the topics he wrote about. The archive supplies a public pseudonym; it does not establish a legal name or current affiliation.

Open Systems Fieldbook is operated by a different holder of this domain. Its new articles are researched and written for the current edition.
