It’s been a year! So, here’s a re #introduction.
I’m late 30s #enby #lgbtq person, I live in #Finland with my partner and our two #cats.
I play and post about #VideoGames a lot. #Pinball is a very dear hobby.
I’m a chef by profession, so sometimes there’s #food related stuff. I wish I had a green thumb, I dabble with #plants.
I do #crafts, I do #knitting, #crochetting and #CrossStitching.
I love to #travel.
I enjoy #StarTrek, #Batman, #cycling, #coffee and making friends with likeminded people.

New pinned post, proper intro, updated March 2025
Edited 77d ago
Hello!
#Introduction
I just migrated to this server, so will do a new who-am-I since toots don’t migrate. I am a #RegisteredNurse, working in #research. I am an #introvert, moreso since the pandemic. #Chocolate, #reading, #travel, and a little bit of #cycling are my interests. “Likes” are usually me saving a toot for later. More reblogging than posting.
#introduction Excited to chat about all things #data, #tech, and #analytics in the finance and business world. I love crafting innovative analytics strategies and making sense of complex information.
On the lookout for new insights and ideas, and occasionally sharing interesting boosts.
When I'm not in data mode, I'm loving watching #formula1, diving into a good book or practicing my #Greek (yassou!). Eager to #travel and explore new places. Sending warm regards from 🇿🇦 and 🇬🇷

#introduction
I'm a mostly retired "student at large" living in #CampbellRiver on #VancouverIsland in beautiful #BritishColumbia.
I pursue #LiveLongLearning in a variety of ways especially through #Travel.

Things that let you know more about me: I (he/him) am #actuallyautistic, working in #FOSS for 20+ years, first at Red Hat, and now at AWS. I co-wrote an O'Reilly book on Raspberry Pi, but it's super dated now. I do lots of scary packaging in Fedora, and I was in charge of Fedora Legal for 15 years, so I geek out on FOSS licensing stuff. I work at being an ally every day, using the privilege I get from being cis-white-male in tech to lift others. I love #pinball, #travel, games (board, video, whatever), #hockey (go Bruins), puzzles, #frogs, #trivia, craft beer, #Transformers, 3d printing, science fiction, #comics, #LEGO, #cosplay (amateur), #dinosaurs, blue drinks, and taking things apart to understand how they work.
I'm introverted, but I can cosplay as an extrovert for a while when necessary. I love making new friends in FOSS communities and spending time with old friends over good food and drink.
My day dream on long days is to open my own barcade with a little movie theater and a hidden speakeasy.
I believe in sustainable FOSS and people > code.
On the bird site, I had an open offer pinned to help people with their FOSS #legal questions. I am not a lawyer, but I've got a lot of experience bridging the gap between legal and engineering, so if I can be helpful there, please let me know.
👋🏼 About time for my #introduction.
I am a proud #sanfrancisco resident and California native, but #travel as often as I can manage.
I am passionate about #infosec, #privacy, content systems, and #hiking. Oh, and emojis 🙋🏼♂️
More intermittent interests are #photography, #PublicTransit, #civics, and #SolarPunk.
#Iceland day 3. 🇮🇸. Lots of driving and lots of rain. Black sand and columnar basalt beaches, more waterfalls, anxiety over running out of gas, up close and personal with bazillions of puffins, and the northernmost southernmost point in the world.
I tend to be the least squee person in any given room but OMG!!! PUFFINS!!! They are utterly charming.

Introduction
Redoing my #introduction as it was a bit of a sparse one when I joined.
I am a lifelong #technology enthusiast, having worked in Financial Services IT for more than 25 years, across multiple disciplines including:
* #Unisys #MCP-based #mainframe platforms (A17/A19/HMP NX 6800/Libra 180/Libra 6xx/Libra 890)
* #EMC #Symmetrix storage arrays (DMX 3/4 and most recently VMAX) including experience of #SRDF(S), SRDF(A), BCV
* #WindowsServer (2000 through 2019) including #ActiveDirectory
* Various #Linux/ #Unix OSes (#HPUX/ #RHEL/ #Centos/ #Ubuntu/ #Raspbian) including experience of #GFS/#GFS2 SAN storage clustering
* Virtual Tape Server technology (B&L/Crossroads/ETI Net SPHiNX, #TSM)
* Automation/Scripting (#PowerShell, #NT #Batch, #DOS, #Bash, #OPAL)
* #Security (#PrivilegedAccessManagement, #LeastPrivilege, #IAM, #Firewalls, #EDR)
* #BusinessContinuity/#DisasterRecovery (Design/Implementation/Operations)
I’m focused on learning and getting hands-on with #RaspberryPi at home and #cloud computing solutions both at work and at home.
I moved into a #SecurityEngineering role in 2020, so a lot of my focus is now more security focussed across all tech stacks.
My main focus at present when it comes to cloud is predominately #Microsoft #Azure, with Google and AWS of interest also, as well as other cloud infrastructure services such as those provided by CloudFlare, though I’m planning a move away from them due to their moral/ethical choices.
Away from work and tech, I love to #travel the world with my wife and enjoy very amateur #photography to record our adventures.
I also love most genres of #music, live in concert when I can, with a particular love of #Rock/ #Metal and also #Trance (coincidentally, given the profession of a somewhat more well known namesake of mine!).

I curate several Magazines for Flipboard's Politics Desk: https://flipboard.com/@ElectionCentral
A Filiipino tourist was grazed by a train while she was taking a photo in Shifen Old Street, Pingxi, Taiwan. She was brought to the hospital to undergo spine surgery.

Getting very tempted to throw my personal brand behind #OpenSourceByRail as a trend. What if we crowd-sourced popular train itineraries for people to travel together long-distance for conferences?
As I moved instances (again), I guess it's time for another #introduction. Also because time moves on and my original introduction is a little outdated.
I'm Isabelle. I have a busy full-time job, but aside from that I like writing (romance and smut), crocheting, hiking, traveling, and watching Kdramas. I love spending time with my family and pets.
I'm also learning Korean in my spare time for fun.

Hi! I'm Amandine. I'm a French-Costarican biologist living in Mexico with my husband and 3 cats. I just finished a postdoc in plant ecology and I'm looking for new opportunities.

PH government agency to look into influx of Chinese students amid concerns on national security.
The immigration bureau "said that of the 1,516 Chinese who were granted student visas in Cagayan, only 485 are currently enrolled with only 96 onsite with student visas."
