Christoff, the human<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Introduction</a>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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Solaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solaris</a> for freed memory. I simply chose .monster TLD because it seemed cool and I like "extended" TLDs. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Technology</a> I have been using a OpenBSD, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a>, or <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNU</a>/#Linux since the late 1990s as a primary workstation. I used macOS from 2020 to 2025, switching to the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDE</a> neon distro (KDE plasma is amazing and KDE isn't bloated anymore, yay!).My current career is as a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/pentester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pentester</a> where I break into web applications, IP networks, mobile applications (especially <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a>), and people to their face or over the phone; code <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malware</a>; write documentation; and enjoy helping clients in a third party contractor/consultant role. I started that job change in 2020, when I earned the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/OSCP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSCP</a> certification at the height of "<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infosec</a> 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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PHP</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Java</a>, and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Groovy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Groovy</a> 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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lisp</a> well. I'd love to be a cool <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/lisper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lisper</a> with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommonLisp</a>, but haven't gotten there yet. I'm on the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/c64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#c64</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/embedded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embedded</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> train now.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Creative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Creative</a>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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a>, I have an electric <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bass</a> (Fender Jazz) and electric <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guitar</a>. I love <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/jambands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jambands</a> (<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GratefulDead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GratefulDead</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Phish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phish</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Goose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Goose</a>) and that's the type of music I like to play along to. For <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a>, I like <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/acrylic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acrylic</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> 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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computing</a>, I am venturing into <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C64</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/demoscene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#demoscene</a> 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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Commodore64</a> stuff yet, but will! Learning the assembly language (I have zero desire to code in BASIC again and I can just code assembly). <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Personal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Personal</a>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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgames</a>. Right now, we're really digging <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SkyTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SkyTeam</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RoyalGameOfUr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoyalGameOfUr</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ForrestShuffle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForrestShuffle</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SentinelsOfTheMultiverse</a>, and this magnet game I don't know the name of. We have <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SpiritIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpiritIsland</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ArcNova" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArcNova</a> to unwrap and learn. We tried really really hard to get into <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame</a> 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, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciFi</a>, 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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/puzzles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#puzzles</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/mysteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mysteries</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/exploration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exploration</a>, figuring out <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/HumanBehavior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanBehavior</a> 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 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/hacker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hacker</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/tinkerer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tinkerer</a>.

LadyMarth01Looks like Greater Than Games—publisher of the board games Spirit Island, Sentinels of the Multiverse, and Compile—has been shuttered due to the tariff situation. While I've not played Compile, Spirit Island and Sentinels are the two games I play the most, so knowing that no further expansions will happen sucks.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BoardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardGame</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardGames</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/SpiritIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpiritIsland</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SentinelsOfTheMultiverse</a>
