I have some geek friends that pointed me here for a couple of topics a short wile back, and thought I'd sign up. I believe I had an account what feels like 20 years ago now, when I was living in Auckland, but thought I'd start afresh.

By day I have a manual labour job, so sitting in front of a screen is a hobby for me. I have a small blog and self-host various things all reached from teabag.ninja, for anyone wanting to look. Also playing with the likes of Proxmox at home on some old gear and paved over my desktop Windows with Linux recently - but have been using it on and off for a decade or so.

Seems like a wide breadth of knowledge and interests on here, and a reasonably calm and adult (behaving) community. I look forward to checking in regularly 🧡

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. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time, you will see there are lots of people who post around the forums on a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters help us make sure the community is safe.
