Nerd.

Ok, to be precise: white cis male (I know); italian citizen born in 1983; started playing with computers at the age of 7 years old and never stopped. Went from developer, to sysadmin, to IT consultant, to sysadmin again.

Hot takes:
- The latest is not always the best version. The second to last is the best version.
- Debian is underrated and Ubuntu is overrated.
- I've never seen a whole IT infrastructure based on Arch Linux and I hope I never will.

People keep training machines on human responses and behavior and then they’re shocked and fooled when they react to input exactly like humans superficially do.

The weirdest thing about my old Dell XPS 13 9370 is that even though it was ordered in The Netherlands with the usual English int'l keyboard, it has a rupee sign on the 4.

Someone asked me today if I could share details of the Texas card.

I had no clue what the Texas card was.

Turns out it was the 'Tech SaaS card', ffs.

People who use X are increasingly radicalised until they end up as Nazis.

People who use Mastodon are increasingly radicalised until they end up as C programmers.

My experience of the #fediverse :

Year 1 (2023):
It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms.

Year 2 (2024):
I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"... and I make a lot of new (techie) friends.

Year 3 (2025):
My techie friends encourage me to start self-hosting with #YunoHost... and I do! (GoToSocial, PeerTube, NextCloud...) I LOVE it.

Year 4 (2026):
I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication 💁‍♀️
