hey, i'm ruben!

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, Fedora and has just started tasting NixOS.

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

• 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.
