Overdue #Introduction:
Hi, I am one of those computer touchers, located in #Berlin, in my late 20s, and this is my first time on any social media.
I have lots of interests (yes #ADHD), like #Vegan #Cooking, #Photography (often #Pets), anything #Space, #Gaming and #GameDev, recently #3DPrinting, trying to do good, the list goes on.
Really enjoying this online space so far, hope to meet and talk to more awesome people on here.
Also some sample pictures I like (with alt-text, of course).
(1/3)
I'm #planning on #graduating in a year or so, so I'm trying to make more #friends and get more involved in the #community outside of my #school. That way, I won't be #alone after I don't have all my school friends and community around anymore. I don't know where I'll go for a #PhD, but this area is still my #home.
I'm into #gardening, #cooking, #sewing, #painting, #CreativeWriting, #reading, #VideoGames, and #anime. I'm from the #Rochester, #NY area.
I suppose it's time for my #introduction post. Hi, I'm a lifelong #TTRPG player, GM, and writer/designer; as a Gen-Xer I've been doing it since the Ancient Days. (That doesn't make me an authority but it means I've played a lot of systems!)
I'm here looking for community and conversation. The birdsite has felt like shouting into the empty, uncaring void for years, and I hope it's better here.
I also dig #videogames, #pinball, #rocketleague, the #NFL and #cooking.
*Updated.*
Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.
I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.
This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

Here's my #introduction long overdue!
Hi! I'm a software engineer during the day and #music #math #planners #stationery nerd during after hours :D
My interests:
- I play the guitar, now I'm moving to playing the bass guitar.
- #emacs and #orgmode. #lisp is growing on me.
- #machinelearning and #jupyter in general
- #statistics
- Mostly #manga nowadays and some #anime. And then I started to learn Japanese as a result.
- #drawing
- Recently got into #lockpicking and #locksport. Tried my hand at #bugbounty in the beginning of last year.
- #cooking
- #fashion
- #chess
I'm a big fan of #irc and #rss feeds as well. I like using Matrix too btw.
I’m Tom, a lifelong Michigander now living in Dearborn. I’m a semi-retired software engineer. In a past life, I, along with @dave0 and @Vaguery, rescued the Workantile coworking community from collapse and ran it for 8 years.
My interests include choral #singing, classical #music, #jazz, #cooking, #baking, and #woodworking. I’m an omnivorous reader, and an active member of the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor. I joined this instance in August of 2018.
Though I created an #introduction post when I first joined the Fediverse back in November of 2022, a quick reintroduction is in order…
My name is Jason Coward. I am a #SoftwareDeveloper by trade and the Chief Architect of MODX, an Open Source CMS project I co-founded twenty years ago. I am an enthusiastic amateur nature #photographer, a #drummer, and a father. I live in Durango, Colorado with my son. I also enjoy #scifi, #poetry (especially #haiku), #cooking, and #hiking.
In our flatshare, we have a bit of a running joke based on someone misunderstanding what was meant with fried noodles (“wait you put them directly into a pan?!”). Since then, I find those dishes where you actually put them directly into a pan very funny, like Pastasotto, or in this case: Spaghetti all’assassina.
The pasta has a bit more bite to it, and it gets a hint of sweetness from the slightly caramelised sugars in the tomatoes.
Hello, fediverse! I'm a father, elder millennial, and software developer primarily in the #dotnet ecosystem. Though I do enjoy working with #react, #nextjs, and other #javascript and/or #typescript frameworks. I came here like many others as part of the #twittermigration. l'm looking for professional networking, learning, and socialization.
I love #coffee, #comics, #philosophy, #dnd, #cooking, #metal, and #videogames.
I want to move to #ireland one day!
Introduction time. Honestly, writing an #introduction has been a mental block and a stressor, keeping me from posting. Let's get it out of the way <3
I hate sounding like an advert for myself, but here's what you can expect:
Commentary on #programming, #opensource, #cloud, #cooking, #nature, #animals, #roleplaying, #fitness, #gaming and #gamedev, and occasionally #bouldering and #zen practice.
I try to stay positive, and and abstain from complaining and rage posting. I do fail in that, a lot.
Hello!
By day I am a UI & Visual Product Designer and obsess over process improvement. In my own time I'm way into single-player games, discovering new foods and recipes to cook, and my two corgis.
Born and raised in Wichita, KS and currently living in the Seattle metro area.

Here's my #introductions post, lost by the account migration:
I'm a Cyber Security Consultant and do pentests for a living. Before that I used to do software, mostly web development. I speak German, English and Russian. Things fascinating me:
- #Cooking
- #Cryptography
- #Design
- #Emacs
- #Infosec
- #Keyboards
- #Lisp
- Japanese and Soviet-era culture
- #PLT
- #OSDev
- #Science
Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

Since I'm new to the wandering.shop, moved over from home.social, I guess a new #introduction is in order. I'm a writer of fiction: mystery/suspense, science fiction, fantasy, and whatever strikes my fancy! I'm currently training to be a book coach to help people through all the things, so they don't spend years figuring it out like I did. I enjoy #nature, #science, #hiking, #biking, and #vegan #cooking and #baking. Oh, also #art and #architecture.
I probably should do an #introduction by now, huh?
Alright, so, hi! My name is Kevin and I'm a security engineer from #LongIsland, NY working at a large ecommerce company. I've gotten to touch a little bit of everything in that role, such as application security, third-party risk, phishing training, security policy, etc. just to name a few. It's given me a pretty good generalist background. Currently, I'm looking to focus on growing my expertise in security architecture.
I am particularly passionate about creating security solutions that don't make people hate the security team. :) It's easy to throw up a solution that's secure without regard to usability; it's hard to create something that is both secure AND user friendly. Solving that puzzle scratches my brain in a particular way, and the reward of making everyones' lives easier sure helps too! I think #infosec overall could use some more mindfulness about what it's like for the humans who have to deal with it... Perhaps we could call it Human Oriented Security?
Outside of security, my nerdiness extends into the kitchen -- I love all things food and drink. Give me an opportunity to try a new dish or cuisine and I'll have a great time! Likewise, I enjoy learning new recipes and take pride in my #cooking. As of late, I've been focusing learning more about on the wonderful dishes of the Indian subcontinent (so if you have any recipes, feel free to drop me some!). On the beverage side of things, I appreciate quality coffee, tea, wine, beer, etc but I don't get too deep into any of them.
Otherwise, I enjoy video games, movies, books, and TV shows, especially if they're sci-fi. My backlog just keeps growing though, so it's a constant struggle to actually enjoy it all! 😅
If any of that sounds interesting to you, you're welcome to follow! I think we've got a wonderful community forming here, and I'm really eager to be a part of it.
See you around!

I do get weirdly obsessed with topics sometimes. But don't we all?
