you should really carry no less than 5 computers on you at all times, like a sensible person.

Joined mastodonapp.uk back in Nov 2022. I have a 'backup' a/c on mendeddrum.org.

Oldish bloke, got to retirement age in 2024. Now retired, due to the old line about "when it stops being fun, stop doing it".

Anyway, old-school coder. I've worked with everything from punch-cards to Perl, via machine language and microcode, C, C++, SQL, etc, etc. Now a happy Linux user on Garuda.

Getting more radically 'left' as I get older. I despise all racists, homophobes, Nazis, etc.

N.B. very much still a work in progress <insert web 1.0 work in progress animated gif>

She/her

* (*) Self-diagnosed Just a bunch of girly bytes exploring a new world in Second Life who also happens to have a fediverse account. Pronouns: she/her, \(\sqrt{-1}\) / \(\sqrt{-1}\)er. Catgirl, Kuwuntu user and webkitten. In my late 40s. Virtually a girl (and illegally lesbian) since 19/01/2007, but carrying the sin of being closeted forever. Professional daydreamer. I enjoy any interesting conversation about diversity, cats, windsurfing, boat sailing, big extensions of water, sunsets, caves and underground places, Open Source, Linux, C/C++ development/debugging/footgunning, casual game development, 8 bit retrocomputing, RC models, and (trying to) build my own stuff. Software development kink, dom, won't have mercy of the compiler or of software patterns to get what I want, and to get it now. If you're a software engineer, I can make you cry. Chaotic good with exceptions. Might have C++PTSD. I can provide emotional support texels and virtual hugs, or even hand out a spoon if you've ran out of them. Please treat me kindly, because even if only virtual, I also have a heart 💜. No questions about First Life. What happens in Second Life stays there. #nobridge #nobot.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... PC Revolutions, C compilers clacking huge Floppy Disks , Lisp Machine Nirvana, Unix Wars, building an early ISP, Metro Wireless, #Startups that went down, Hardware Image Processing, Objective C training from Brad Cox, first C++ Conference, unreadable Perl, lots of Python, Ruby, #Clojure and now back to #Python, #DevOps, #AWSCommunityBuilder, #Serverless, #Sourdough Software System and Cloud Architectures. Not time to die!

I'm the Grumpy Old Ape, father of many, ex of two, long-time user of C++, writing 24/7 software that keeps people's lights on. Expect political, social, environmental, and programming-related posts. And maybe some about cooking, gardening, raising kids, or even k-drama. (As if any of those were not political…)

Most of this will be in English, but you might have to gloss over the occasional German post.

"I'm not intentionally leftist; I'm just trying to behave like a decent human being."

I love playing video games. So much so, that I even make them in C++ using raylib! I love 80s Rock and Metal, and hate Nazis.

🌹🏳️‍🌈⬆️

Structural biology (XFEL crystallography, cryoEM, electron crystallography) data processing methods developer. I use my degree in chemistry to write software to use physics to understand biology. As of 2024, based in Hamburg. Ich hätte gern, wenn du mein schlecht Deutsch korrigierst, ob du das willst.

70% coffee by volume. I’m really into electronics, 3D printing, and sewing right now, and trying very hard to learn German. I have a very fluffy and affectionate cat. Big fan of bicycles and trains, better public infrastructure generally, and investment in collective wellbeing generally. Food motivated; very easily bribed with coffee and pastries. Always learning. On the spectrum (hard X-ray, ~12 keV).

I'd rather you get a sense of my values from checking my feed, but in very-very-brief, fascism is bad, open source and open science are necessary but not sufficient, and the right to repair includes yourself.

Hugs: yes please. Flirting: no thank you. Please have your bio filled out when you follow-request.
