"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve"… or something.

Hello, or hello again—if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything nice.

If you think you know me by another name… I cannot argue with that… not even a little bit.

New here, and by that I mean that this is a brand new instance.

Single user GoToSocial instance, self-hosted on my own hardware; this is not my first.  It's just like that scene from the Matrix with the Architect: we just keep torching it and starting over, and we're starting to get pretty damned good at torching it.

I've had a WriteFreely instance before, and I think I might have another one here in the near future, honestly.

GED in 2011 at 17; no qualifications otherwise, at least literally on paper.

No human children; cat dad, though.

NixOS diehard on desktop/server.  The host machine for the VM for this server, as well as the VM itself, both run NixOS and always will.  Currently using Niri on the host machine and loving it.  GrapheneOS diehard on mobile.

Love projects, especially the kind that are never finished because they're never supposed to be.

Grew up in Oregon and moved to New Mexico with my family when they did.

I ride a unicycle.  Trying to learn violin.  These things don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, I hope.

ADHD and Tourette Syndrome, both professionally diagnosed for the first time when I was 20-something.

My dad passed away last October.
