"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.

#unicycle session 9 and 10. I actually found a place I can practice that has walls directly adjacent to the sidewalk! It has shade and isn't super public. Only one downside. It's directly next to the grease traps so it is a little gross but hey, thats motivation not to fall. Progressing a litte bit more. Issue now is my brain freaks out when I'm riding unassisted and then I wipe out. Probably just need more practice to get my brain used to it.

Time spent: 60 minutes

Spring was in the air this morning so it was a nice relaxing #unicycle ride in.

#unicycle session 8: At the point of diminishing returns with the wall and I need to go wall-less. I keep looking for a good spot to practice this but its mostly just delaying due to fear (and being self conscious.) The falls sometimes hurt and I really don't want people watching as I wipe out for the 5th time.

#unicycle session 7: Found an old pair of Converse that I had years ago. Foot placement was much easier than with my Nike that has a flared sole. Now I don't have to place my foot perfectly on every mount to avoid hitting the crank arm.
