Hi Lemmiers

Long time SDF user when SDF, Hobbiton and freeshell were feeling like home.

Moderator of a nearly non existent community on Reddit, let's give this instance a try, can't be worse than Reddit 😜

Greetings, SDF from drelcott.

Greetings everyone! I'm new to the SDF but an old UNIX fart from wayback with a fascination for the intersection of art and computing and the creative applications of technology.

Totally love the community and really appreciate all the hard work that goes into it! I hope to be able to help out as I get more familiar with the lay of the land.

I'm a devops engineer with MIT Online Learning by day and I love tinkering with old computers, gaming, and spending time with my wife and our rescue pup by night :)

Please take care and look forward to chatting with you all!

s'up everyone.

I'm lambalicious admittedly I'm a lurker both here and on the SSH side of things and only mostly visit the bboard when I remember that I like to use SSH for stuff that is not daily job. I work with computers, but they are alas not as cool as the computers from the movies I like to watch. I'm from Chile, so my English is ESL but el glorioso Español es very good. I like cats, too. I hear the internet loves cats.

When I have time for myself I develop plugins for DokuWiki and also sometimes code stuff for working with some SQLite databases. Sometimes maintain a legacy C++ library thingy. Oh and I play Nintendo games obtained via totally legit providers.

Hello!

I joined the SDF a number of months back but got more involved about 2 months ago when I upgraded to a MetaARPA membership.

One of the things I just adore about the SDF is that, as a new comer, it seems to emphasize the creative, artistic and social aspects of computing rather than being yet another place for entrepreneur culture mavens to try out their new side hustle :)

I have nothing against making money, but I fell in love with computers in the 80s because they were bicycles for the mind, and I want people to remember that :)

I've been stumbling around the Boston area for close to 40 years now. I adore old computers, reading anything and everything I can get my hands on including but not limited to science fiction, urban fantasy and science/history.

It's neat that MetaARPA members get PBX extensions - it would be neat to organize a voice chat every now and then if there isn't one already!

Thank you to everyone who helps make this happen. I look forward to figuring out how I can pitch in helping to continue to make this place awesome :)

hope i'll have fun staying at sdf

Hello, all!

Hi! I'm a developer (mainly backend, but studying system programming and happily tinkering after work). I'm considering closing my accounts on centralised social networks for good. I've tried mastodon and nostr, but the microblogging format is not something I particularly enjoy. I'm also setting up my capsule in the gemini space and trying out gopher as well. Happy to connect there as well if anybody is interested :) You'll find me commenting/reading on lobste.rs as well.

Hi all, I am an OpenBSD ports maintainer, and hopefully at some point kernel hacker

Hello world! I'm one of the many reddit refugees who found out about lemmy after the blackouts. The ray of light in the whole twitter debacle was finding out about mastodon, and the greater fediverse, so when I saw reddit going the same direction, I was already primed to look for a federated platform to jump ship to.

Lately I couldn't help shake the feeling that the current state of the internet was just wrong, and I longed for the early days when it felt like a giant collection of unique and interesting communities, all linking to each other. I truly feel like this is the next step in the evolution of the world wide web, and that massive corporate-controlled social media websites were just a brief distraction from actual progress.

It's good to be home.

Hello world! It's good to be here!

Hi all! Just migrated from Reddit because of the shitty new API regulations. Knew about the SDF for some time now and just recently discovered its Lemmy instance. I am just a nerd who likes low level programming and hacking on stuff. Hope you all have a great day!

Well hello there, we're on the air.

Hello, SDF.

Hello world! I spend my work days logged in to some servers which if I interpret mtr correctly are just up the hill from SDF in Tukwila. I joined SDF in 2010 after watching SMJ's interview on the BBS Documentary. It's neat to be able to log in to this living UNIX system and type w and see a bunch of other people logged in doing their thing whatever that is.

I've been a Reddit user since almost the beginning - my carefully curated set of subreddits have been my favorite way to follow my interests over the years. I love old.reddit's clunkiness and information density. I'm intrigued by decentralization and federation and think it would be cool to move away from the big silos.

Hello World!!! I am... ;)

Hi sdfpubnix lemmy community peoples!

Just wanted to say hi...I finally created an account here to check it out. Another way for me to be differently social with people I like! Many familiar sdf operators here. Hope to see more of you around on the system, in the COM[MODE}, in the gopher underground, on smolnet, and the fedifferentlysocialverse!

it's me, saba (or sam)! Been here a long time, but not on much. Currently trying to follow lemmy stuff from my #snac instance

rgu here! Excited to see this option opening up :-)

Edit: I'm a Husband, a Dad, and an Old Man working in tech. Hello everyone...

Hello, I'm saba! I've been on sdf a few years, can't remember exactly when I signed up. I'm currently a metaarpa supporter because sdf provides a lot of great services to people with similar interests to me. I've been on the mastodon.sdf.org instance since it's beginning. I signed up on lemmy.ml 3 years ago when I first heard of it and then didn't really visit it much for a couple years. With the recent reddit exodus, I started using it again. When I noticed it was getting busier, I thought it would be great if sdf hosted an instance, then I got the email about this instance! Great to be here! You can also chat with me on irc or sometimes on com if I have time and am listening to anonradio.

Been here for a few days but hello world!

Just glad there's enough content to mostly stay here vs give any traffic to Reddit

Hello!

Greetings to higher primates.
