Started playing around with Matrix, but I honestly don't see what the real benefit is. ActivityPub is so fast and seamless, but Matrix applications feel like dial-up Internet.

I do miss when the Internet was smaller and more user-driven, but I definitely don't miss when the Internet was slower...

Best Schwarzenegger film I've ever seen.

"Ultimate Reality is a collaborative performance by Baltimore’s Dan Deacon and Jimmy Joe Roche. It combines an intense musical composition for electronics and drums with a psychedelic montage of Arnold Schwarzenegger films."

Actually, it still starts off on just as much of an unintentionally funny note.

Considering watching this, but somehow I doubt the show is going to be as funny as this preview.

How dare you sir

My pandemic hobby has been data-hoarding. I have 45TB of drives hooked up, and only have 7TB free now. I probably should try to clear duplicates, delete trash, and cull some of the stuff I'll never actually use before I buy more 16TB drives, right?

Or should I just shell out for a massive NAS and never delete anything ever again?

#introduction

I'm new to the Fediverse. Jumped from server to server, but ultimately settled on my own instance for my main account.

I work in Zero Trust networking in Seattle, and enjoy Retro Gaming, 3D Printing, and Hiking. I'll mostly be posting about those things.

Spent all evening messing with Mastodon and eventually setting up my own instance. Learned how to use it, and how not to use it.

Now I've got everything the way I want it and I'm too tired to post anything good.

Anyway, good night.
