My day job is in IT. This is my personal account.

Interested in digital sovereignty and related topics.

I'm almost there in my quest to de-google, de-meta, de-apple my online life.

Having a nice time with #opentofu. Automating a lot with #powershell and more and more with #ansible. I really like #openstack.

Hosting stuff at #safespring, #binero. #glesys and in my basement.

Also recently started a company. @pir32

Blatantly, unabashedly pro-democracy. Ex-Michigan farmboy makin' it work since 1958 (born in 1953, but coasted for a few years). Proud and concerned father, grandfather, dog dad, and atheist. Emigrated from New Mexico high desert to New Jersey lake, spring 2022. Used to be a whitewater canoeist, now happy paddling a quiet lake. ClassicPress/WordPress developer; websites for real estate agents. I smoke a pipe, therefore I'm a philosopher. Oxford comma because I'm civilized.

Profile pic is me with my fluffy sheep Ruffles. Header is about a hundred sheep who decided to form a ring on the downs one day. I'm not that interested in sheep, really.

I'm a philomath (many interests; call it polymath-wanna-be) professional computer programmer in Silicon Valley, specializing in operating systems, languages/compilers, sometimes AI, usually non-traditional parallel software and hardware architectures.
