Fed up with #thehumanity 's petty problems. I'm now looking for meaning around the Milky Way.

I finally managed to get a job as Dr. Manhattan's PA and part-time blogger.

My instance runs experimental software (GotoSocial).

Languages: de-DE-1901, en-DE, some la, and I might understand some nl, es or similar.

Mostly interested in cats. Also, good coffee☕, garlic, cats, nature, European paganism, IT (but not those new-fangled hypes; I like my Korn Shell, Assembly, used to like C; I run VMs, not (never!) containers; I hate the way people try to force systemd upon other people and avoid it and other plagues), cats, music (baroque was the peak of all music, it went downhill from there: Beethoven and Mozart were the beginning of that; love John Rutter’s though, and Nightwish/Tarja…), garlic, cats, good coffee, books, good fanfiction… oh, and, did I mention? Cats! I also dare to sing and dabble a bit in #TeamRecorder, and I go geocaching, opencaching, terracaching, … and occasionally play Munzee.
Dogs, systemd advocates and SJWs are not welcome. I don’t come here for deep social discussions or something, so don’t bother me with these. Nor with shudder… politics. And I’ll refuse follows from people who endorse ML/LLM (so-called “AI”) and/or content output by them, since the latter is almost always illegal.

My feed will include RSS posts from other activity feeds of mine (posted via daily cronjob, not in real time, so their post timestamp is irrelevant) as well as boosts and no CWs. Boosts are not my own content and belong to the original poster. I often RT or boost posts I do not understand, e.g. in foreign languages, just because the picture is nice or something.

I run my own single-user plus bots (so far, but I might admit personal acquaintances if they really want) instance of GtS so some tech trouble may be expected. No custom “emoji” (really, colon-magic-strings, which I loathed on other platforms already), but longer posts and Markdown formatting. (I hate Markdown, but it’s better than no formatting, I suppose?)

I’m personnel to Čara🐈‍⬛ (a rescue cat, FIP carrier and FIV+ but so lovely). Black cats (even with white nose, socks and bikini) are the best!

Ich wurde vor gut 50 Jahren in Kiel geboren und habe das männliche Geschlecht beibehalten. Etwa eine halbe Aristoteles-Zeit hielt ich mich an Unis auf und habe dort tatsächlich auch Abschlüsse gemacht.
Zwischendurch war ich arbeitslos, aber zum Taxifahrer hat es nie gereicht, weil ich erst zu spät an den Führerschein kam.
Ich fahre gerne Fahrrad und ärgere mich in meiner Freizeit mit oder an dem Computer rum.
Ich mag diesen Planeten, aber keine Nazis.
