realised i never posted an on my new instance

Hi, i'm Sijmen, a.k.a. vijfhoek, am a 28yo dutchie, and I have been a Fosstodon user for some time. Because Fosstodon wasn't really for me I started off on Misskey, then Sharkey. After a while the itch started again, and I was getting annoyed with Sharkey's bloatedness and bad Mastodon API implementation, so I looked into a new server. GoToSocial was cool but too simple, people recommended me to skip Akkoma/Pleroma/etc and to try IceShrimp.NET too, and here we are.

I like programming, specifically creating new projects and never finishing them (latest one is an mastodon API client: git.sijman.nl/vijfhoek/fedilite), and the odd embedded stuff (I've been building a keyboard I really need to finish someday it's so close).

Other than programming I like coffee, D&D, and self-hosting things. I have got a job in devops (mostly Kubernetes stuff nowadays) and am an (honestly non-practicing) embedded systems master student.

If you read this, send me cat pictures and cool things to self-host.

so yeah that's it i guess doei

@aetios normally no, because as soon as a kernel panic's triggered the kernel is in an unsafe state and the filesystem drivers can't be trusted anymore (i believe)

@j_r @jwildeboer it's just a link to your internet banking, so if your bank has got a normal internet banking interface you can use that as well.

it just shows a big honking qr code by default because most people do their internet banking from their phone, but there's an equally button to pay from your browser

@schmitzel76 @jwildeboer "we only see a Wero logo next to the iDEAL logo" yes, because Wero is iDEAL. they're just slowly transitioning the brand name to not confuse and/or worry people

@thomholwerda De neoliberalistische hel zet zich door, puur omdat de VVD het hardst schreeuwt - niet omdat ze de meeste stemmen hadden. Verder laat de D66 nog geen 3 maanden na de verkiezingen hun belangrijkste beloften achter zich liggen.
