GRB090423 was the most distant gamma ray burst known when I first started on soc med.
Profile (Sputnik 1) and banner (the Sun) photos are by me.
I rarely boost images that don't have Alt Text.
I boost The Vagina Museum posts; please don't be offended - it's good to learn.
I check your bio & TL to decide whether I follow back.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." -- John F. Kennedy

I'm an open source and privacy fan, while Mastodon seems like the best choice for social media

Hi, I'm John, and I work on things. I pre-schedule daily posts, but generally check in regularly to reply to people and occasionally post something else.

(#fedi22 for discoverability)

Just a lazy fat furry fuzzy floofy solitary brown bear doing stuff alone. Friend-shaped, chill, agreeable and kinda nice but not friendly.

If I can describe myself like a Linux distro, I guess I'm both Debian & Slackware if I'm not hungry, sleepy or sick.

Yeah I trim down followers. I don't like having another graveyard and I don't like big numbers. My posts also disappear after a week.

The logo at the end of my name should be Arch but Debian will do I guess.

I'm a staff engineer working with Python, Clojure, and all the DevOps technologies. Outside of work, I write Rust, contribute to open source, maintain a Kubernetes homelab cluster, and dabble in 3D printing and hardware.

In the past, I taught software engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, and worked with web technologies, across many industries, since 2006.

long-in-the-tooth gadfly, man of the people, and, improbably enough, paid opinion haver

When in doubt, my comments were meant funny, cynical or I was trying to be clever and resulted in being a smart ass.

Physicist lost in the world of energy transition policy. I also do photography from time to time.

Posts in Dutch and English.

I love playing video games. So much so, that I even make them in C++ using raylib! I love 80s Rock and Metal, and hate Nazis.
