Been coding since 2007, a bit of a cyborg (mechanical vibes), and a total IT nerd.

Love Debian, tech gadgets, and digging into medicine. Learning German (B1, pushing for B2) and would love to chat with German-speaking folks.

Excited to meet new people, share ideas, and talk tech, art, or life’s mysteries.

Drop a message!

My fanless homelab is my pride: running Monica, PiHole, WireGuard, and LiveSync.

Recently changed jobs, and now I'm diving deep into DevOps, especially Kubernetes. I'll post about my journey, from epic wins to total fails.

Also hooked on moody, melancholic art and exploring death studies - fascinated by the big questions.

If you’re into tech or deep vibes, let’s connect! What’s your setup like?

Very much enjoyed speaking about animal grief yesterday, live on US National Public Radio. The program is called "1A" and the host and my co-participant @Susana_MonsO were great conversational partners! The interview is findable at this link. #animals #grief #deathstudies #anthropology https://www.npr.org/programs/1a/

For Dia de los Muertos, an intriguing read, with great images: "The Book of the Dead was not a book in the modern sense of the term but a compendium of some 200 ritual spells and prayers, with instructions on how the deceased’s spirit should recite them in the hereafter." #DayoftheDead #ancientEgypt #archaeology #death #deathstudies

Fascinating archaeology, re 17th-c Poland: "The child, thought to have been about 6 at the time of death, was buried face down, with a triangular iron padlock under its left foot, in a likely effort to bind the child to the grave and keep it from haunting its family and neighbors." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/science/archaeology-burial-vampires-revenants.html?unlocked_article_code=dJgU8ga2cCoW8TQVQteaHatxlTF4j0EZJEAeAbGz346x20_jfF7QCcc7awiJWcscrS0D049othdQXRoTq3Pn-TM5k06-VeL54BDpwEse8OcTjTK-s3Y4AE0xg1j-NbWFYBEEJ9-Ji6BSwCARluLdR0E6XVAdqylTn3fshWb8J7L_zSOGWvROOreOPh14E4krVE0TJsxzbr6AoVAbkoP0_159nHmcSVeq3Em5f8TB7IYzLgr4i2GieGG-CxZLJHxiveTxtcWwQUOuGiHyuvJ4u0mJHX_zhTv_2QEcU0kKFMJ5eYDCUulKqMXeOwE3FHvOcKXef5aj_e_fiY23UGEweR3z6TLSjvU-l8muJKGd6g&smid=url-share #archaeology #anthropology #death #deathstudies #Poland
Undying Dread: A 400-Year-Old Corpse, Locked to Its Grave

In 17th-century Europe, the dead were a constant threat to rise again and bedevil the living. Now archaeologists have found the remains of a suspected child revenant.

The sudden death of Sinead O'Connor left me wondering about the people who rush onto sites such as Wiki to update the page with details of the deaths of the famous. Who are these people? Why do they do it? I am interested in death studies, but wonder about such people. I feel that there is something close to ambulance chasing about what they do.
