#introduction Hi everyone. My main interest is #Astrophysics, which I worked on until I retired recently. Also #music, especially #hippy, but I don't despise any of it.

I'm just bouncing off Twitter, things are getting unbearable there. I haven't looked around here much yet. Can anyone tell me if there's anything on the free web that invites optimism in such bad times? @FediTips

New instance, new #introduction toot.

Hello, I am Mark aka Simple Nomad. I have been on the Internet before there was really an Internet. I've worked as a researcher remotely since 1999 for the last 5 jobs with the word "security" in my title (once had the word "scientist"!) Current job at #GitLab the entire company is #AllRemote and I can say that This Is The Way.

I have an extensive #homelab with static public IPs running real services (including this Mastodon instance), this network is a work lab as well as a home base for NMRC (https://www.nmrc.org), a #hacker collective formed mid-90s which still has a few active members.

Personal blog is at https://www.markloveless.net. There you can read utter nonsense, and some extensive blogging on my #solar setup (no electric bill!) here in Texas. Yes this #hippy lives in Texas, I hate sports yet live 3.4 miles away from that atrocious giant stadium here in Arlington where the Cowboys are.

I love #progmetal and #industrialmetal the most. I love #woodworking and have a full shop of expensive tools.
