I'm Holly and am new to SDF Europe. I'm in my late-30's and am an extremely opinionated FOSS enthusiast. I daily drive Garuda Linux and I believe that RMS has not been wrong about a lot of things, particularly on privacy and software ownership (I mean, that's most of what he talks about but still...). I have a homelab and self-host quite a few services. None are accessible from outside of the LAN because I'm super anxious and can't handle the stress of that lol

I used sdf.org back in 2004 or so in community college. It was a UNIX class and the teacher supplied us with shell logins. I had noticed sdf.org domains in my Mastodon feed recently and booy was that a trip down memory lane. I registered and validated on sdfeu.org a few days ago (since I no longer reside in the US and can't remember my login), and am thrilled to also see Mastodon and Lemmy instances. I'm quite attached to my home instances already, so I'll be subscribing from afar.

On the shell side of things, I've been browsing the bboard, messing with the website stuff, and becoming familiar with the systems. I like it here so far and am excited!
