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.

Oddball, computer nerd, aspiring ecosystem co-creator, I've lead a strange and unlikely life. I dropped out of high school and was homeless for several years. During that time I learned Reiki, and how to operate and program Linux computers. I decided to get a job as a programmer, so I created a project and presented it at CodeCon 2004. That led to a career as a computer programmer. I'm now semi-retired and I've turned my attention to my other passion: gardening and ecology.

Ars longa, vita brevis.

IT Consultant from Germany, Linux enthusiast, BSD fanboy and firmly convinced that Ancient Domains of Mystery is the greatest video game of all time (and always will be).

You'll find me here talking about Open Source, self-hosting, advanced networking (proud operator of AS201379), smart home shenanigans, and anything you can torment with a terminal. Cat pictures also welcome.

Left, antifascist, vegan. The trifecta your uncle warned you about.

Je dev pas mal de logiciels libres et #OpenSource. Ça va de l'outil de config de souris gaming au générateur de playlist en passant par de l'optimisation d'images ou du shell PHP *hum*…

J'ai également un blog (blog.flozz.fr) sur lequel je poste surtout du contenu tech mais j'aimerais bien diversifier un peu les sujets à l'avenir.
