@alice Just my two cents: I heavily recommend getting one used. Back when I got mine, you could get some seriously high-end stuff for $200 used. Probably not quite the case anymore, but it's going to be so much nicer than a new one.

@eniko @nina_kali_nina I've given this some thought (got me mildly nerdsniped there), and I while I think "Accepts" is good enough and is easy to get used to, "Takes" works a little better: "Takes Rough Wood, Sticks, ..."

the concept of supermarkets importing pasta from Italy is wild to me

we can turn grains and egg into funny shapes locally too, then you don't have to ship it across europe

subtitle for people not familiar: Sequoia (just like Ventura which it is already running) was never officially released for the MBP 2015. People got it running though, by basically running Hackintosh on Apple hardware

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
