I’m an architectural scientist [PhD, Python, Climate Data, Building Physics, Mould, Energy Efficiency, Simulations] and historian [Chinese Diaspora] at #UTAS - although I don't post much about those topics here.

Pete, my green cheek #conure lives here too #BirdNerd.

Machine learning researcher and data engineer.

Tree planter and building stuff in my free time.

Pro-Taiwan, Human Rights. Behind many advocacy projects, for decades. Co-Founder Taiwan Report, Keep Taiwan Free, etc. Quoted monthly on radio & papers - often on ICRT. Transhumanist, Post-gender.

European guy (cis; he/him). Sailing the fediversea mostly via Friendica and Mastodon. You'll find I'm a language person and conversational geek. Lived in the UK for a while; took in the language in Barcelona and Taipei. Father, husband, dog owner. Good to meet you! (If you want me to add you back, expose a profile I can read.)

Working in sysadmin, I use #DevOps methods for fine-grained control. I'm interested in technological developments (among others, #semiconductors, the supply chains, and related economics) as well as automation/networking (in Linux and related ecosystems).

More than two decades ago I fell in love with #Taiwan and its people, and have extended family there. You'll find photos I took while on holiday, and photo walks and anecdotes using hashtags and search. I have a Plurk account, too (largely disused).

Long before that, in 1986 I went online for the first time ever using an 300bps acoustic coppler, and landed in a BBS the computer magazine had suggested you visit. Interesting experience, scary being in my early teens then: you can talk to people online! Ten years later I had internet at home at a whopping 33.6kbps when Windows didn't even include the TCP/IP stack.

The times have changed indeed since The Wall fell, and after the browser wars ended.

I'm a GNU/Linux enthousiast and a nerd. I like :star_trek1:​:star_trek2:​:star_trek3:​:star_trek4:​:star_trek5:, programming and walking in nature. I don't like slow internet, monopolies and courgettes.

I'm Dutch so I will sometimes retoot Dutch posts and answer to Dutch posts in Dutch. But most of the time I will talk in English.

There's nothing more to say about me.
