Bio

I am the sole user on this ActivityPub/Fediverse instance using GoToSocial, a Golang-powered server that's way easier to get working than anything else I tried.

I'm a user of Fedora Kinoite, Debian, OpenBSD and AlmaLinux. Father, husband, garden-digger, guitar picker, cat herder and fixer of the broken and worn. Journalist by day.

The cat in my profile picture is a young Stripey 2. The cat in my avatar is an even younger Elton, whose mom is Stripey 2 and dad is (likely) Stripey 1 (RIP). We have a lot of cats around the house.

LA isn't all about old school diners/breakfast joints/delis, but they continue on, here and there.

This is More Than Waffles in Encino. I've never been before, but the coffee mugs say, "since 1976," and I believe it. HUGE omelet with gluten free pancake. Excellent. With a staff that is SO on their game.

Not cheap, but what is these days? Quality and quantity make it worth it.

I just got an Elk update in my browser. Elk is a great Fediverse client that happens to work very well with GoToSocial, the software running my instance. (And thanks to the GtS developers who helped make it happen.)

It's good to see development in Elk, and I hope it continues. Give it a try.

One thing I learned about the Microsoft Edge web browser (on Windows 11 with a newish Thinkpad T14) is that there is a perceptible delay in the display of web pages. Looking at one of my HTML-only sites, I can feel the lag between clicking the link and seeing the content. I'll have to check Chrome on those same links, but I find that the system — which is my work laptop — performs pretty well overall with Chrome as the browser.
