Pole 🇵🇱 by birth, Cracovian by residence, computer scientist by education, sysadmin by trade, Linux user by preference (though I also occasionally use Windows), sometimes Perl/Python programmer (with experience in more than a dozen other programming languages), fan of SciFi, fantasy, computer games; married, 58 yo, social democrat, anti-totalitarian, green, pro-nuclear; interested in subjects like STEM, history, politics, literature and music, but not sports, fashion, celebrities, conspiracy theories.

Translator, SF nerd, climate doomer, he/him.

Old white guy living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (#Polesie in Polish) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.

Taking care of a small pack of #dogs (most of them rescue dogs) – #IdąPsięta.

#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small #LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Now also learning #Meshtastic. Coding, mostly in #Python. Luddite.

#Atheist. I don't *believe* in #science – science is our defence against belief.

I try to check facts before I toot.

Fuck nazis.

Zdolny, ale leniwy.

Moved here from my first instance https://qoto.org/@szescstopni where I've been since November 2022.

I haven't deleted my Twitter, for good reasons, but I'm not using it anymore. https://twitter.com/szescstopni

drone, offensive. rants, swears and blocks.

frantically copying whatever's left to free the shoulders of giants from golden handcuffs. building tools to level the playing field

used to patch people's pants (https://pantsbuild.org) at twitter, now threading every tarball together with @spack so you can use anyone's code anywhere anytime no matter who you are.

writes better rust code than you, no longer writes rust for ideological reasons. similar for python. i can be persuaded by a salary commensurate with my value.

wanted in several jurisdictions for crimes against zip files. uv took credit for techniques i invented and CVEd themselves instead of using my code

i wrote the docstrings for libsignal and got blocked by moxie. made a fork that works without a server

oh and i do regex engines now. but Worse

oh and now i'm writing a kernel. but Even Worse

your #1 source for absurdist true crime

I toot as I please
