Messing with CRT shaders, designing custom aperture grills and dot masks that never existed.

Software-Defined Radio. Pretty cheap entry and fun to screw with. I recently moved to the sticks and now there is nothing to find, sadly.

Recently started writing niche essays on video games but haven't had the best time coming up with more ideas and have 0 ability to advertise my own work.

I also have this weird thing wear I take pictures of the cats on cat-product packaging because I'm afraid they'll be forgotten.

Playing terminal.

I like fleshlights. I have quite a collection of them.

I love troubleshooting, even though I complain a lot about it, I still do it.

That doesn't mean that I use systems that require high maintenance like Arch Linux, but openSUSE doesn't have the same support as other known Linux distributions, so I sometimes have to adapt to the options I have, like using containers or compiling for my system.

I also like to provide support for people and help family/friends with whatever they need, tech-related or not.

It may sound silly, but a lot of family (whom I try to avoid) always tell me to charge for the things I do, but I like to help and even donate a lot of things when I can. I also have been trying to give back to the FOSS community. To me it's like a hobby, and money isn't everything.

I always thought "high altitude ballooning" would be a cool ass hobby.. but living in PA.. would make it difficult to track down payloads once back to earth 😀
