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.
