I’m a tech founder and recovering SysAdmin. I helped found DevOps and grew up in open source. These days I am convalescing from a decade of physical and mental neglect while running Puppet.

I sometimes write about startups, founders, and other topics I like.

I am an angel investor, mostly in areas of expertise (infrastructure and dev tools) and interest (local first software and power tools).

I am generally default-accept on first conversations.

Working on a new terminal: Ghostty. 👻 Prev: founded
@HashiCorp. Created Vagrant, Terraform, Vault, and others. Vision Jet Pilot. 👨‍✈️

Longtime open-source user, advocate, and contributor. I’ve been working with and writing about Linux and open source since 1999. Now writing for LWN.net (@lwn). Become a subscriber here if you're not already! https://lwn.net/subscribe/

I post about Linux, free and open-source software (FOSS), music, cats, politics, writing, and anything else that comes to mind. Hates gen-AI slop.

Here to talk mainly #politics, #EUCitizensRights, #FOSS, #FCStPauli, the environment, and the Oxford comma. 🥃🐧🌳

Music makes me happy. Especially, #SKA, #Punk, #MetalCore and old school #HipHop. But really anything that puts a smile on my face.

Always in good spirits

KDE dev by day, hobbyist gamedev by night. Generalist FOSS contributor. Finnish AuDHD neurodisaster. I like metal, industrial and EBM music, and I love FPS, RPG and spacesim games.

Does not want to talk about "AI", LLMs, cryptoscams.

My opinions are always my own. Like my shitposts.
