tweedge, 2 years ago to random

Hey everyone, #introductions time. I'm Chris, a small voice in the big world of InfoSec.

You might know me from:

• Helping to break down emerging information about Spring4Shell
• Tracking the impact of pro-Ukraine DDoS attacks
• Trying to figure out why a 2,000-IP botnet was torrenting Ubuntu

I'm going to be microblogging about the research I have in progress before it's as mature as the stuff I mentioned above.

I hope you have fun reading and I look forward to learning from folks here! ^_^

froyok, 2 years ago to gamedev

I figure I could do an #introductions too.

I'm Froyok / Léna Piquet, and I have been working on Substance Painter for almost 8 years, initially at Allegorithmic and now at Adobe.

In my spare time I play with the Unreal Engine, experiment with shaders and sometimes draw stuff. So it's mostly tech art oriented. :)

From time to time, I write articles on my website, often about Unreal: https://www.froyok.fr/articles.html

JordiGH, 2 years ago to Mexico

Time for new #introductions!

I'm Jordi, a #Canadian from #Mexico, living in #Montreal. I've had a super-sheltered and comfortable life. Nothing dreadful has ever happened to me. I'm married to @Not_mermista.

I like #mathematics, #knitting, #skating, #swimming, and old #gameing because I'm old (not that old).

I also do software stuff because of course.

Day job is to write software stethoscopes for other software.

unattributed, 2 years ago to random

So, since there is a large influx of twitter escapee's I'll re- #introduce myself. I'm George, formerly SndChaser, now Unattributed.

I write, sometimes make soundscapes, have run a podcast and a netlabel... I'm a big geek / nerd, and an even bigger supporter of artists using #creativecommons licenses.

I have several websites and sometimes post to #pixelfed. More information in pinned posts on my profile.

#introductions 2022 edition

Hi, I'm Amanda (she/her), I've been here since Tumblr banned titties in 2018 (but I'm also still on Tumblr. Go figure.)

I'm into #gardening, #chickens, #DIY, #mutualaid, #religion, #writing, #history, #food, #music, and #fandom. I love my wife and our pets.

Follows are screened to catch bots and right-wingers, but feel free to request (no need to DM first).

IronSpike, 2 years ago to random

Hello, Mastodon. I'm Spike.

I founded and run a comics publisher, Iron Circus Comics, out of Chicago, Illinois.

I draw and write, and am currently updating a story-heavy, low-fantasy comic called Blikada, which is definitely not about Elf Bolshevism. Honest.

You can find links to both these ventures on my profile page.

This Mastodon will be primarily for art.

Thanks! Here's a self-portrait.

#introductions

Hey everyone! I'm Holly (or monorail, either is fine), local Ice type Mastodon admin. I run glaceon.social, a small instance that I think is, excuse me, cool.

I'm 26, :heart_ace:, :heart_aro:(?), a :heart_trans: girl, and white as the fallen snow.

My interests include programming, video james, and sleeping in until the afternoon. Say hi if you like, I don't bite. (60 power Dark type physical attack? No thanks!)

Typing with paws is tough, so instead of more words, have a picture!

badrihippo, 5 years ago to foss

Hello everyone!

I use Xubuntu and try to go the #foss way as much as possible :duckduckgo: :gimp: :firefox: :xubuntu: :fdroid: :nextcloud:

I've been using Diaspora and the Friendica for a while—now decided to give Mastodon a go! #introductions #newhere

Also trying to get my friends to join the #fediverse (though that's a slow process 😕).

nubreed, 5 years ago to random

Okay so finally doing an intro post:

I'm nu_breed - perennially immature queer fandom old Started off in Buffy, Smallville and Popslash and after a long break found my way back through old school SPN fandom. I recently fell hard for Black Sails which started the writing bug for me again. However, I have resigned myself to the fact that BBC Merlin is my one true love that I will never quit and I am GOOD WITH THAT. #introductions

If you’re joining us, introduce yourself! Tag your post with #introductions & pin it to your profile.

My history goes back to 2003, when Chris Shiflett launched the phpcommunity.org project. We wanted to provide a hub for the PHP community. We built a great community on Freenode IRC & migrated to Libera.Chat IRC (we’re in #phpc). Nowadays, @ramsey manages the PHPC accounts & domains and is working to launch a non-profit for the PHP community.
