jabster28<p>seems my <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a><span> didn't migrate so here we are.<br>hello. i used to be on fosstodon at </span><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@jabster28" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jabster28@fosstodon.org</a>, but running my own seemed fun so now i'm on my own <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/sharkey" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sharkey</a><span> instance at mace.lol<br><br>i'm currently in university for a computer science degree (no i won't be homeless.). i do a lot of </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/programming" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> and like to mess around with general <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/devops" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#devops</a><span> stuff (containerisation and networking mostly) in my free time, a lot of my mini projects revolve around automating this or that and making it work with everything else i have in my own ecosystem. <br>i </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/selfhost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhost</a><span> a lot of services for ephemeral file sharing and password management etc.<br>my main languages are </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/javascript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#javascript</a> / <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/typescript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typescript</a> and <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/rust" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> but i've been wanting to learn some <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/cpp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cpp</a><span> or c# recently (i don't always want a program that's 1000% correct, cargo.)<br>(also css is genuinely an a tier language. insanely fit for purpose.)<br>i do some </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/networking" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#networking</a><span> and find it pretty fun mostly<br><br>i play a lot of </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/splatoon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#splatoon</a> in my free time. i'm also fond of <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/mahjong" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mahjong</a>, <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/minesweeper" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minesweeper</a>, and <a href="https://mace.lol/tags/tetris" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tetris</a><span> (modern tetris (usually techmino), not the official app) to sink my time into if i'm on my phone or something. <br><br>some more stuff i'm into that's probably more fringe:<br><br></span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/wikipedia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wikipedia</a> editing is pretty fun, though it's rare that i'll get a chance to correct/add to an article that i know about and can source. doing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_conflict_of_interest_edit_requests" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">coi requests</a><span> is cool, though, you see some really interesting people<br><br>i'd love to be able to do </span><a

to (i have neither)<br><br></span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/libraries" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libraries</a><span> are really cool and i'd love to go to more of them and document them. working at one seems fun also<br><br>slightly related but i wouldn't mind getting better at </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/photography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a><span> at some point (maybe make a pixelfed account?)<br><br>my only major political stance on here would probably be that </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/privacy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a><span> is a fundamental human right, and a lot of things online right now don't let you control that as well as you should<br><br>i guess that leads into me liking </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/monero" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monero</a><span>, there's not many other ways you can transfer wealth to someone without anyone else snooping. no, b*tcoin doesn't count, it's simply not fit for purpose.<br><br>that also goes into </span><a href="https://mace.lol/tags/cryptography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryptography</a><span> i suppose. the mathematics inside things like ecdh is pretty beautiful. one of the reasons i'm going to university is to eventually be able to fully understand elliptic curves and a lot of the cryptography we use nowadays.<br><br>that's it, thanks for coming to my ted talk. make
