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.

I'm very interested in free software and licensing of art and the written word. I'm a member-owner of a local brewpub cooperative. I use SDF and Tilde pub-nixes as well as self host what I can.

At 19:00 UTC Monday through Friday I'm on AnonRadio.net doing a 30 minute news show. I read news I've found around the web.

My preferred pronouns are He/Him/His.

Free open source software – vegan – sustainability – one rights – finance – environment – transparency – Linux – freedom – fairness – politics
