As of a week ago I was introduced to the both SDF and the gopher protocol in more than a passing way, and here I am making a gopherhole on sdf :) These phlogs seem like a nice sort of social network that is away from the hubub of traditional social media. I get the feeling most users here are probably of a similar mind. I've got interests in software development, computer security, metal and woodworking, among others. I like to talk politics but try my best to stay out of the red-team/blue-team arena, since that usually ends up as more of a boxing match than a conversation in my experience. Akin to what Andrew Heaton of the Political Orphanage podcast says, I don't think I'm wrong about things, but if I am I want to be wrong for as short of a time as possible. Shoot me an email if you'd like to chat. I may be slow to respond initially since I'm still setting up the habit of frequenting this place, but I'll get back to you before long.
