European guy (cis; he/him; lgbtq ally). Linguist by degree, working in sysadmin for decades, using #DevOps methods. All posts here are my own, not a company account.
Interested in technological development as well as automating your infrastructure (select Linux ecosystems). I appreciate both good coffee and green tea. Regret: have not started the "Data Loss Quarterly" magazine in 2008 when I was with netzpolitik.org.
Father, husband, dog owner. Good to meet you! At one point I lived in the UK; at others I took in the languages in Barcelona and Taipei. You'll find I'm a language person and conversational geek with an open mind. If you want me to add you back, expose a profile I can read.

You'll find photos here I took when on holiday, from photo walks and snaphots. More than two decades ago I fell in love with #Taiwan and its people and 很高興和你說普通話。當你說國語時更好。 好高興認識你。 U play RES? I do too. 叫我藍山的哥哥 ^^ - I'm sociable on Friendica, Pixelfed and Mastodon. I do have a Plurk account, and used to do Twitter too (disused).
Long before that, in 1986 I went online for the first time ever using an 300bps acoustic coupler. Visited a BBS the computer magazine had suggested. Interesting and scary, me being in my early teens then: you can talk to people online! 😁 Ten years later I had internet at home at a whopping 33.6kbps, when Windows 95 didn't even include the TCP/IP stack by default. Recently I celebrated 19 years of using Gentoo Linux; in fedi posts I detail many such things.
The times have changed indeed since The Wall fell, after the browser wars ended, and more so now open source software runs everywhere. We're in for magnificient future changes.
