Crudely drawn picture of a synth character, looking derpy and staring at the viewer with a large green eye. Their body is mostly colored with shades of grey and accents of green.

cheesed to meet ya.

a synth who is constantly tired about everything.

about me

i'm your "average" 17 year old gay foss enjoyer.

i enjoy messing around with technology, unique and retro, or when it's not being stupid and ruined by "modernity" or corporations.

i'm a nerd into free and open source software and privacy stuff, along with other libre things. i'm not a programmer or anything, though.

also a nerd into Linux stuff, mostly touched Arch and NixOS but have found to stuck with Fedora.

enthusiast in open, decentralized and federated projects, networks or services. favorites include the fediverse and listenbrainz.

i absoluetly despise corporations and capitalism with every single fiber in my living synthentic body 😊💕

Certified™ idiot (i think this one is obvious)

usually, seemingly always, pretty tired and sometimes full of random ideas i know damn well i can't execute at all or end up putting on the heater forever.

"fun" facts

my profile pictures used to be random characters from different types of media that i would just grayscaled. ever since then, i realized that i've very much enjoyed being a synth instead.
i used to have a joke where i loved cheese, in a "i cannot live with cheese, give me the cheese or i die" way. technically the joke does still exist to some extent in a friend group, but otherwise has mostly died out. 🧀
originally starting going online when i was young and my only method of getting wifi was by using my netbook in the kitchen and connecting to a nearby stores local wifi connection.
joined fedi around 2020 or so, originally on mas.to before closing shop and moving to types.pl which has a nice local community, before moving to miruku.cafe for a short while before finally landing at lea.pet.
i prefer lowercase when possible. it just feels more natural.
i am still terrible at spelling. still made mistakes even when making this site. online dictionaries my beloved.
