Email

I can be contactable through email, though I may be slow to reply because either I'm busy doing stuff, having a break, or other reasons.

Public email address
My username in emails is pretty the same elsewhere (excluding Twitter and Facebook), it's the initials of my first name, the full last name and my birth year.


 * – Main contact point for direct manners and security-related stuff. (Also in Outlook and Yandex.Mail), although you could send me email at  but IMAP access is only available on paid Zoho Mail/Workspace plans.
 * – If you're using ProtonMail, you might try to send me encrypted mail over this address.
 * – Recap Time Squad-specific work email.
 * – email address(es) I use in the tildeverse community. The ~vern email address is the one I use currently for sourcehut.
 * or  – Inquiries and support email for my Substack

Legacy email addresses
These legacy email addresses SHOULD not be used for sending messages there, although they'll be forwarded into my Gmail address.


 * – Probably one of my first email addresses.
 * – Probably one of my first email addresses.

Encryption and files
If the contents of the message itself is sensitive, you should consider encrypting it with my main PGP key (either the Keybase one since February 2021 or the refreshed one since December 2022).

For files, use a Send instance, WeTransfer or similar service instead of compressing it to maximum hellscape to be below 25 MB.
