Hi I'm 90s Script Kiddie, I grew up online. I do #devops and #automation code stuff for my job. My hobbies are #gamedev, #vintageelectronics, #gaming, #repair ing stuff to keep it out of the landfill, old #apple hardware, #linux admin (I run my own mail, web, media etc servers) #network admin especially #pfsense, I love #books, #anime, #manga - reading in general really. #music too! Jazz, alt-rock, pop, folk, chiptunes... I also enjoy #cooking and am trying to get better at it. Beliefs-wise I'm something of an anarchist, yearning for a #solarpunk future I'll probably never live in, but I do what I can to do #mutualaid for the people in my circle. If you're my friend, I will set up all your electronics for you, replace the battery in your phone, give you some free mail or web hosting... whatever! I try to limit my consumption of news media for my own sanity, but I love reading about what people are doing in their own words. That's why I love the Fediverse, and it's why I'm lurking around on #gopher

I don't have a lot of friends. I've always been kind of a loner, and a little awkward. Luckily, I love my own company and have no problem spending time alone. Those few in my circle are people who I think make the world better by being in it.

I'm a #queer #bi #enby and I don't really give a hoot about what pronouns you use for me. Actually, I sort of feel like however you labeled me I'd want to break out of that box somehow. I guess I'm pretty contrary.

New #introduction who dis.

Ok #vintageElectronics nerds! tell me about these things…

The “MR” designation denotes some kind of diode (it stands for Metal Rectifier, a notation hangover from before silicon/germanium diodes) and they’re obviously arranged as full bridge rectifiers

They’re in a PSU made for the British Post Office in 1972

The brown stripe seems to denote the + end, but what does the other stripe mean?
