Web #accessibility auditor and #InfoSec student. I long to be part of keeping people's personal information secure, but for now making the web more accessible and working towards my certifications and degree are good uses of my time. Sports fan. Devourer of #sci-fi and #Fantasy. I am #Blind, #autistic, and have #ADHD. Prolific reposter. Boosts are often but not always indorsements. Previously a lot of political content, but no longer.

My hobbies are legion - spanning tech, art, and more. 20 years on SDF Public Access Unix System. Proxmox VE admin since 2008. Turning payphones into hacker art, tinkering with RISC-V and LoRa. Self-hosting LLMs because crypto didn’t save the world economy. Sporadic data hoarder, 3D-printing enthusiast, WireGuard wiz, and lockpicking newbie. Exploring open-source, privacy, security, futurism, ethics, philosophy, and photography. Personal account, no organizational affiliations. he/him.

Supply chain technology guy. I love the outdoors 🏞️, hiking 🥾 and learning how things work ⚙️; interested in natsec, infosec & foreign policy. I also like cars 🚗 & planes ✈️. Formerly of IBM and Blue Yonder; a bit of that sticks with me, I guess.
I work at RELEX Solutions, yet this is a personal account with my personal opinions.

Glorified network janitor. Pretengineer. Friendly neighborhood cyberman. Constantly regressing toward the mean. Slowly regarding silent things.

I boost and toot on politics, tech, fascism — these may seem CWs for you. Undesired exposure to my activity on those subjects is a risk of following me. I would readily CW talking about violence, porn, or other triggers, but not politics. Feel free to block or mute me if that is egregious for you.

Trying to leave the world better, not worse.

I wanted a social media platform to be able to share in my own community.

• I'm Polish & proud of my Heritage
• Into Culture Cooking & Food
• Tech guy. Work is w/ security & privacy. I support privacy on the net & FOSS. I do not support data collection or censorship

I joined this instance to share part of my life & experiences that I think others may enjoy. Especially w/ food & culture. But also w/having to use & navigate in these difficult times when our data is being used against our control
