re-#introduction

Hi, I'm Andrew! I'm a software developer from the UK pretending to be a blue fox on the internet!

I'm a massive dork and am interested in amateur radio, electronics, engineering, programming, trains, space, science and a whole lot of other things! o3o

I work for a big Enterprise-ey company, but I like writing small, concice bits of code which are easy to be picked up and understood by others. I also care about accessibility and ethical programming (that is, using programming to make the world a better place instead of using it to make profit!)

My account is locked to act as a bot deterrent, feel free to drop me a friend request. 💙

fogs mastodon be like:

The more I seem to see of the trans and wider LGBT community, the more I seem to see it's full of horrible folks.

Old friend of mine I care lots about is having people she used to consider friends accusing her of things she didn't do, contacting her partner's IRL friends to tell them they're in a relationship with someone manipulative, and getting them kicked from all the trans chatrooms she's in.

*sigh* I thought we were all supposed to be better than this.

Might just go into work warly today and try and get up to speed.

Found a fun article about using SSH to determine user's ssh keys using GitHub's public API.

I wouldn't do this on a production server, but for hobby projects?

@dashie Hope you are safe this weekend with the protests ongoing. 💙

Keep cool, but don’t freeze.

Got a donor unit for a project! (It’s optical drive assembly is dead, not disassembling a working console!)

The only time I'll hate on someone is if they're being an arsehole, because that hurts other people.

...and unlike being LGBTQ+, being an arsehole is a choice.

There's a lot about the LGBTQ+ community still I don't understand. A bunch of stuff is rather off the beaten track as far as my upbringing is concerned (I was brought up in a rather conservative family).

But you know what? I don't need to understand everything in order to respect it. As long as you're not hurting anybody else, you do you! Be the person you want to be!
