Hej, tionisla here, at your service.

some might have met me on my mastodon.bsd.cafe account. Not working in IT but if I'm not professionally working with children and their families I like to tinker with computers. Some of my friends call me a nerd, and I have to confess I think they are somewhat right. Although I'd describe it just being curious and liking to learn and doing stuff with hard- and software. Recently lost my wife to cancer, so I might sound gloomy from time to time but also just got a grandchild I'm really happy about. Based in northern Germany, living between the two seas. Enjoying a good tea.

Started off with my interest in computers by gaming on a Atari VCS. Learned to programm on my Atari 800XL and a C64 of a friend in BASIC and later in 65xy assembler. Got my Amiga 500, learned to code in m68k, C etc, dabbled with Dpaint and Soundtracker. First PC was a P90, installed Slackware on it and used various different Linux Distros from there. Switched to *BSDs about three years ago. Tried FreeBSD, felt right at home again (having fond memories of Slackware), met nice and helpful people and now happily running a Free- and OpenBSD on (even older) Hardware.

I contributed and coded for UADE/Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator - a music player engine for old Amiga music file formats using emulation for replaying them nowadays on *Nix, Mac and other OS. I guess I arrived full circle there too.

oh, the handle derived from the old Elite - space sim and is the name of one of the star systems of the soc "Old Worlds": "This world is very notable for its inhabitants' innate shyness". The user icon is accordingly a Cobra MK3 from the Oolite Remake.

Right on, stay safe and nice to meet you.
