I talk about #retrocomputing a lot. I also do a lot of #gardening and occasionally make #bread and #beer. I have been a Unix #sysadmin for about 30 years but I think I'll be OK.
I live in #Melbourne, #Australia and sometimes tell jokes on stages around here. I co-host a #StarTrek podcast with @ThePingMachine
There's a bus that runs from West Footscray to Laverton station which takes about an hour end to end, and I believe that might be a better way to get home than the actual replacement bus service.

I feel like a grumpy crank but I really dislike short fiction posts that *look* like a regular post from someone until you get to the end and find out it's got some weird swing into nonsense.
I've muted a few tags to avoid a lot of them in my home timeline but occasionally follow a reply that looks like a normal reply to someone and get thrown into them.

I've been wondering why my Backblaze bill has been going up steadily over the last year and figured it was just general currency-related shenanigans and life in general, but I probably should have checked my object storage retention policy settings and not forgotten I was messing around with that last year too.
It's probably OK to allow things to be removed sometimes, once you've stopped fooling around with your backend and are no longer trying to stop yourself from making any mistakes that'd result in days of re-uploading files.
