I'm Josh, also known as Jodhus. Adequate husband, passable father, functional systems administrator.
Things that make me happy:
- I'm into #retrocomputing. I'm quite nostalgic for the #c64 and #amiga computers I owned as a child.
- My father introduced me to #linux and #openbsd in the late 90's and I've used them both ever since. He was also instrumental in encouraging the concepts of #security and #privacy to me at an early age.
- My way of giving back to my friends/family/community is by #selfhosting and offering various services to them, including services that promote #federation.
- I like to tinker with #python and #rust programming, leading to questionable results.
- I find humor in almost anything and tend to not be offended by much; however, I will explode into fits of giggles for #nonsequitur and #snarky humor. I am a big fan of #mst3k and #rifftrax.
- I love most genres of music, but I'm not a fan of pop and modern country.
- I used to have lots of fun with #nightphotography back when my camera was state-of-the-art, but have not had the chance in nearly two decades.
- The way to my heart is through #thaifood, #sushi, and most other Asian cuisine.

I've already beaten the new Firmament game from Cyan Worlds. I had a couple puzzles that confused me at first, but besides being a bit buggy in areas, I really enjoyed it. Also, the music is fantastic. It reminds me of a mixture of Rich "Disasterpeace" Vreeland (FEZ) and Ben Babbitt (Kentucky Route Zero).
The original recording session of the Wilhelm Scream:
I went ahead and completed the main story portion of Final Fantasy 15 after 150+ hours of doing all the side stuff. I have--issues--with the game in several key points, but I won't deny I had fun.

Calckey install attempts
Calckey install attempts
My first attempt at installing a #Calckey instance was semi-successful, but it's not functioning correctly. The documentation is sparse and a little out of date. I understand that it's a fork of Misskey and that Misskey's documentation might cover the missing parts, but last time I checked (I'll admit, several months ago) the Misskey docs weren't completely translated to English. Also, apparently Rust is now a dependency?
I'm liking what I'm seeing, so I won't give up on it. However, I'll probably let it simmer for a bit before trying again.

Yesterday's Myst Online update was an Age rescued and redeveloped from Cyan's very earliest ideas for the game.

FWIW, I think that Debian's "popularity contest" banner is a good example of an "active choice" approach to getting consent for anonymous on-device analytics.
Clear, instructions on how to stop it, no pressure or dark patterns, and equally prominent choices for "yes" and "no" with a default selection of "no" so that if you install by just hitting "enter" repeatedly, you select "no".
