I love playing outside, daydreaming, joking and laughing loudly, reading science fiction with a cat on my lap, cooking and eating vegetarian food, geeking out on space and robots, seeing photos of animals and nature, and learning interesting things from my Fedi-friends. Eastern California, USA; she/her

I only look in here occasionally. Do not expect much interaction, for now I’m waiting out the “Freenode situation” over at Twttr. (OK, this turned out to be a lie. Apparently one has to follow people here early, because getting at posts of nōn-followees is a PITA.)
Languages: de-DE-1901, en-DE, some la, and I might understand some nl, es or similar.

When moving instances, do notify me first, otherwise I can’t follow you on your new instance (yet). My instance runs experimental software.

Mostly interested in cats. Also, good coffee☕, garlic, cats, nature, European paganism, IT (but not those new-fangled hypes; I like my Korn Shell, Assembly, used to like C; I run VMs, not (never!) containers; I hate the way people try to force systemd upon other people and avoid it and other plagues), cats, music (baroque was the peak of all music, it went downhill from there: Beethoven and Mozart were the beginning of that; love John Rutter’s though, and Nightwish/Tarja…), cats, books, good fanfiction… oh, and, did I mention? Cats! I also dare to sing and dabble a bit in #TeamRecorder, and I go geocaching, opencaching, terracaching, … and occasionally play Munzee.
Dogs and SJWs are not welcome. I don’t come here for deep social discussions or something, so don’t bother me with these. Nor with shudder… politics. And I’ll refuse follows from people who endorse ML (so-called “AI”) and/or content output by them.

My feed will include RSS posts from other activity feeds of mine (posted via daily cronjob, not in real time, so their post timestamp is irrelevant) as well as RTs and no CWs. RTs are not my own content and belong to the original poster. I often RT posts I do not understand, e.g. in foreign languages, just because the picture is nice or something.

I run my own single-user (so far, but I might admit personal acquaintances if they really want) instance of GtS so some tech trouble may be expected. No custom “emoji” (really, colon-magic-strings, which I loathed on other platforms already), but longer posts.

I’m personnel to Čara🐈‍⬛ (a rescue cat, FIP carrier and FIV+ but so lovely). Black cats are the best! (Though she’s got white socks and bikini.)

Interested in programming, electronics, science, photography, retrocomputing. Bit of a geek, you could say.

"Uncontrolled urge to design things and write programs that sometimes even solve problems."

Career

The latest project is underbridge, a program that I needed myself and which seemed to be a game changer for a few people as well, so thats where I mostly spend my energy these days.
