Hiya! Name's Freya, finally got on here after years of reading the forums and suchlike. Not really sure what to say about ourself, blind plural system transfem rando getting increasingly annoyed with some of the utterly unreasonable restrictions on our home internet plan, came up here honestly to get some opinions, but this ain't the forum for that. No clue what to say from here so... ask us anything, we guess?

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally, as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments, not the people behind them.

Welcome aboard

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Hi Freya, glad you stopped looking in the window and finally walked in through the door!

This is a great place, and there's almost no good question that goes unanswered here. Some of the members occasionally get passionate and fired up in their comments - try not to take anything too seriously.
