A new year a renewed #introduction

I am Dude, associated with the movie but there the comparison ends.

An updated #Introduction for 2025:

I’m a dad, #cat whisperer, #computer nerd, occasional #gamer, and #movie lover. I’m a #quality minded #professional and I make my own #homebrew beer. #freebsd. Enthousiast I love #fitness #walking #programming in #python and #3Dprinting. Busy with #homeassistant and more.
Ik spreek voornamelijk Nederlands, Engels een beetje Duits.

I am an amateur #writer and #photography is immensely interesting to me, and I deeply enjoy wandering, then finding beautiful, strange, and interesting things to capture.

I wouldn't mind being #professional though, so I have an idea I want to try-

I created a #kofi that's similar to #patreon where someone can #commision me for #writing as well as photography.

It's a draft, and #experimental but if you'd like to support or #FediHire me:

@ai6yr nodds in agreement

I work as a #sysadmin and whilst this may not sound exciting, it's kinda necessary, as one's the #janitor, #cleaner, garbage collector, #maid and #librarian together.

So yeah, #documentation, #backup & #restore ain't exciting but they need to fucking work, so in the worst case one can just follow the checklist of instructions.

  • It's like firefighting: You learn, train and stay prepared so that there ain't casualties at all...

Five years of no flying
✈️ ❌ ➡️ 🚅 ✅

5 years ago, I realised that my #academic travels were emitting way too much #greenhouse #gas #GHG (up to 20 t #CO2 / yr) and hence that my #professional activity was not #sustainable. I thus decided to completely ban air #travel (#plane) and travel mainly by #train within #Europe.

5 years later (i.e. now), my professional travels' #carbonfootprint dropped by **a factor 50**, without impacting my #publication records (compared to 2017 - 2019).

I wrote a post for the #blog of @a4e about my experience. Check it out: astronomersforplanet.earth/fiv

The next president will also alter the courts’ #racial, #ideological & #professional makeup. Under #Trump, 76% of judicial nominees were #men, & 84% were #white…. Many had ties to the #FederalistSociety, a *#conservative* #legal group. #Biden’s appointees have been 63% #female & 61% #nonwhite. He has prioritized nominees who served as #PublicDefenders & #CivilRights lawyers, & his picks have tended to be more #liberal than those of past Democratic presidents.
