Hello, my name is Christoff.
I live in Illinois, USA, outside the St. Louis area. Below I'll talk about my technology and creative interests, and a bit about me personally. I'm going to hashtag the heck out of this post.
the whole "deadbeef" thing is the magic number from #Solaris for freed memory. I simply chose .monster TLD because it seemed cool and I like "extended" TLDs.
I have been using a OpenBSD, #NetBSD, or #GNU/#Linux since the late 1990s as a primary workstation. I used macOS from 2020 to 2025, switching to the #KDE neon distro (KDE plasma is amazing and KDE isn't bloated anymore, yay!).
My current career is as a #pentester where I break into web applications, IP networks, mobile applications (especially #Android), and people to their face or over the phone; code #malware; write documentation; and enjoy helping clients in a third party contractor/consultant role. I started that job change in 2020, when I earned the #OSCP certification at the height of "#infosec twitter" when I did well there.
Previously I worked for about 20 years as a senior-level programmer, and systems, infrastructure, and database administrator. Burnout was very real and I was extremely bored/unfulfilled.
Now that programming and sysadmin stuff isn't my career, I find I enjoy programming and tinkering again.
I am a big fan of NetBSD and always have been. I am not a huge fan of GNU/Linux but I do appreciate things "just working", even if it is full of closed-source binary blobs and other garbage. It was fun in the 1990s.
I know many programming languages but have been paid professionally to code in #C, #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #Java, and #Groovy for big commercial entities like eBay, small companies, and the US government.
I've maintained 99.99% uptime for a 60MM+ platform for years, including failover and backups (that were regularly tested... you test your failover and backups, right?!).
I always wanted to be a cool C and low-level programmer, which I thought for the longest time was being a kernel programmer, but now I know that isn't the life for me.
Emacs is something I've enjoyed since the beginning and I still can't code a #Lisp well. I'd love to be a cool #lisper with #CommonLisp, but haven't gotten there yet. I'm on the #c64 and #embedded #retrocomputing train now.
For creative stuff, I aim to do a lot but tend to hop around as interests take me. I could use some discipline there (someday?).
For #music, I have an electric #bass (Fender Jazz) and electric #guitar. I love #jambands (#GratefulDead, #Phish, #Goose) and that's the type of music I like to play along to.
For #art, I like #acrylic and #watercolor painting. I rarely do it, but think about it a lot and love it when I do it. I don't have any skill or talent, but that's not the point. It's for me and no one else.
For #computing, I am venturing into #C64 #demoscene programming and exploration. Not only was I too poor to get one when I was little but I sorta forgot about it over time. The desire to do cool things in a restricted environment where folks are playing in the sandbox, too, is very exciting and attractive to me. I don't know how to code the #Commodore64 stuff yet, but will! Learning the assembly language (I have zero desire to code in BASIC again and I can just code assembly).
I live with my soulmate and our five amazing cats in a small town outside St. Louis living a quiet life. Just doing our jobs, taking care of daily life stuff, and enjoying each other and life as much as we can. Ups and downs of life chaos, like anyone else, but we're doing alright!
We enjoy exploring places within driving distance and there are a lot of places to go to.
Currently, we're really into playing two-player games together and just started collecting #boardgames. Right now, we're really digging #SkyTeam, #RoyalGameOfUr, #ForrestShuffle, #SentinelsOfTheMultiverse, and this magnet game I don't know the name of. We have #SpiritIsland and #ArcNova to unwrap and learn. We tried really really hard to get into #ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame but the rules are too complicated and confusing, where it felt like we were doing the wrong thing all the time.
I am 46. I grew up loving Star Wars, Star Trek, #SciFi, reading novels non-stop, horror, and watching movies. I collect classic SciFi books from 1960s and 1970s.
I would perhaps describe myself as an extremely curious person, that loves #puzzles and #mysteries, #exploration, figuring out #HumanBehavior like I'm an alien studying humans (I'm good at it, it turns out), that has a keen eye for detail, remembering random little things, and a good listener. I'm fairly adaptable and fluid in most things, which works well for me. My brain works differently than a lot of people, and while frustrating a lot of the time for things I don't understand fully, it is me and serves me well in niches.
Making people laugh makes me happy. I am a #hacker and #tinkerer.

This morning, as I was preparing our breakfast of pottage and stale bread, my 3-year-old tugged at my doublet and asked with furrowed brow:
โFather, is it not true that in the absence of a sovereign powerโwhether it be Parliamentarian or Royalistโman is thrust into a condition of perpetual conflict, a war of all against all? And if so, are we not living amidst the very Leviathan Hobbes warned us of, yet without its unifying force?โ
I nearly dropped the trencher. Itโs moments like these that remind me: even the littlest among us can perceive the chaos of the Commonwealth when the bonds of social contract fray.
Children know.

Leaders from countries all over the world are starting to look at Free and Open Source Software options to move their local governments and cities away from the proprietary lock that American tech companies have on them. They no longer want to have to rely on America. Personally, as a Free and Open Source Software advocate, I love to see this. Many of us do. But a question for Trump supporters: How the fuck is this making America Great Again?
I know that I'm preaching to the choir, but Trump supporters are absolute fools.

On the morning of June 22, the warehouse section of a factory located in the ASTIS industrial site in the Efeler district of Aydฤฑn was set on fire by the Eziz Gabar Militia using a sabotage technique.
As a result of this retaliatory action carried out in memory of our heroic comrades who fought selflessly and became martyrs in Aฤrฤฑ, Batman and ลฤฑrnak, the factory was significantly damaged. The colonialist fascist Turkish state is mobilizing all its resources and carrying out operations against the freedom guerrilla in the four parts of Kurdistan, primarily in the common struggle of our peoples.
The fascist-occupier AKP-MHP gang regime, which is based on the policy of destruction and denial, continues to attack the people and revolutionaries within the scope of the collapse plan that has entered its 9th year. The political and military failures it has suffered have brought the fascist torturer AKP-MHP gang regime to the point of ending.
The occupying army, which can only confront the freedom guerrilla, which has proven its invincibility in every area it is present, especially in Northern Kurdistan, with thousands of soldiers and counter-strikes, dozens of warplanes, UAVs, UAVs and attack helicopters, is still unable to achieve the desired result by hitting the guerrilla resistance.
The unyielding resistance of the comrades who were martyred in the clashes that continued for days increases our determination to fight, and is also the reason for fighting until victory in our just cause. The military operations that are being expanded and continued in Bakur will be fruitless. It will grow the guerrilla resistance.
Until the fascist-occupier AKP-MHP gang regime and everyone who is a part of this dirty war pays the price for these attacks, it is our call to all young people and revolutionaries; Today is the day to grow the guerrilla and its resistance, to demonstrate the steel will of the united struggle against fascism and to take revenge for the martyred comrades.
We call on our patriotic and revolutionary people to actively resist until we uproot the colonialists and occupiers from the lands of Kurdistan and Tรผrkiye!
Long live HBDH!
Long live our Guerrilla Struggle!Long live our Revolutionary Peopleโs War!Long live our United Struggle!Martyr Namirin!

โIn 1889 the Treasury Departmentโwhich then oversaw immigrationโdecided that a native-born child could not be sent out of the country with her foreign-born mother. So it admitted the foreign-born mother to take care of the citizen child.
โIt was not โthe intention of Congress to sever the sacred ties existing between parent and child, or forcibly banish and expatriate a native-born child for the reason that its parent is a pauper.โโ

I was in grammar school from 1947-55. Every single student in our large (50+) classes had ALL communicable diseases โ I even had pertussis for almost six months, which nearly killed me. The polio vaccine was a true miracle for the scourge it was for thousands. We have almost 80 years of successful history that proves the efficacy of vaccination. We simply cannot let one batshit crazy person, stupidly nominated and wrongly confirmed, affect our health this way.

in reply to Partisan • • •Die britischen รbersee-Kolonien mit mehrheitlich europรคisch-stรคmmiger Bevรถlkerung (USA, Kanada, Australien usw.) sind nur deswegen keine Kolonien mehr, weil sie irgendwann unabhรคngig geworden sind. Der kolonisierten Bevรถlkerung hat das nicht wirklich geholfen.
Wer sind eigentlich diese "Linksliberalen" in der heutigen Parteienlandschaft? Bei Grรผnen-Wรคhlern rennt man damit ja eher offene Tรผren ein (und den Parteifรผhrungen ist das Thema in der Regel zumindest bekannt), und rechts davon sehe ich nur autoritรคre Parteien die bestenfalls wirtschaftsliberal sind.
