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.

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.
What Huxley feared was that there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Fabien LOISON (FLOZz)
@[email protected]Je suis développeur, principalement #Python, #JavaScript et parfois C et ASM (surtout sur #GameBoy). Je suis aussi adminsys #Linux.
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.
Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)
@[email protected]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.
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.
