#introduction

A mid-30s he/him nerd. Husband, dad of 3, programmer, and guitarist. Concerned about the way humans are treated. In tune with that I'm very interested in #freesoftware and open/federated systems where humans, regardless of who or where they are, can participate. I also love #music of many types, (indie rock, funk, classic R&B, and modern bluegrass are some favorites) and random #geek hobbies like home automation, 3d printers, SBCs, even some #retrocomputing. Been on sdf almost 16y

Bastille Day! Just closed my Google account. They started good, and just got worse. And worse. And worse. Time to go, and now I'm gone!

If you are in the Seattle area why don't you go to the Vintage Computer Festival Pacific Northwest? I wish I could go but I live hundreds and hundreds of miles away LOL

and when you are there please drop by the #SDF Public Access UNIX System @SDF booth and maybe say HI to @smj 😅 !

Why do websites try to guilt-trip people into disabling ad blockers when people just ignore ads anyway? https://www.nngroup.com/articles/why-advertising-doesnt-work-on-the-web/

So I'm preparing to take a load of stuff to the electronics recycling center on Saturday morning before VCF, and now I'm trying to remember:

- Why did I need so many narrow SCSI cables?
- Why did I have two bins of IEC power cables?
- How many PCI video cards does one man need?
- Why did I have so many dead hard drives? They don't even spin up.
- What on earth was I going to do with this many mono RCA cables?
- Was it a good idea, at the time, to hoard printer cables?

'profiles' - our community's text-only social networking LOL (along with other tools such as 'com', 'bboard') ... this program was created by @smj in 2003 for finding REAL friends within #SDF... 2003 --- predating #Facebook?! wow 🤪🤪

Just finished repairing the Navtel Datatest 2+ unit (which, according to the Ebay seller was fully working, but in reality wasn't).
Now I just need to run by Gateway Electronics and match the power supply up so that I can charge it and start using it.

Now who can tell me who the guy on the right is....

An #80s quiz
