realised i never posted an on my new instance

Hi, i'm Sijmen, a.k.a. vijfhoek, am a 29yo 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

@jana As someone who self-hosts e-mail for an association, I'd rather say "Self-hosted email wins this time" honestly

(though my soverin.com-hosted personal email does win again and again)

@bob_zim @alice also sharing my favourite because it’s incredibly easy, so you don’t put it off when you have overripe bananas

50g butter
3 bananas
2 eggs
150g oatmeal
100g sugar
some cinnamon

melt the butter in the microwave, mash bananas with a fork

mix everything (wet ingredients first)

put in baking dish, optionally add some more oatmeal on top

bake for 45 mins at 350F/180C, cool for at least 15 minutes

@neil as far as I can tell, their mail "server" is basically just a redirection to /dev/null anyway (I do not use big tech for email, so M$ basically consider anything I send spam)

@fishidwardrobe @neil "so I assume they were including themselves?"

Directly from the post: "One particular bugbear, for me, of the nonsense, is that yes, it is all men, including me, until someone determines otherwise for themselves."
