Back when I started this site around 2020 it was pretty much just me here. Most of the time the new user applications were from ultra lazy spammers peddling penis pills. I realized that all of you have been writing introductions but you don't know much about me so here is somewhat of an introduction.

I'm just a regular guy in the Cleveland, Ohio area who works in tech. I have 3 cats. My hobbies are tech stuff, shooting/guns, gardening, lifting, and to a smaller degree talking about leftist politics. I run this instance as well as I can on my own. Sometimes the site will go down or be slow but you can rest assured that I'm most likely aware of it when that happens. I monitor this site pretty closely.

It definitely feels weird (in a good but anxiety inducing way) to see so many people using the server I set up. Before the influx it didn't matter if the site was down for an hour or two while I worked out a deployment issue but that's not the case anymore. I would like to bring more sys admins on board eventually so if you're interested feel free to reach out.

Glad you're all here!

Hey there, neighbor. I'm on the I-70 corridor. I like that we have so many local people here.
