Hello! I'm Sasha, aka Sharka. I'm a self-employed freelance writer, trans-f furrified #retrogaming and #Retrocomputing nerd, and amateur VG and popular culture historian and enthusiast from the UK.
Here in my little corner of Mastodon, you'll find me tooting frequently about one of my geeky passions as I love to bring nostalgic joy and cool stuff to peeps!
These passions include #C64, #Amiga and #DOSGaming, #PS1, #PS2, and #Wii, #TTRPGs, #FFXIV, and VG magazines and ads.
Never grew up with them, but still a fan of retro computers.
Collection:
Atari 2600+, 600XL, 1040STE, Commodore VIC-20, 64, 128, Amiga 500++, 1200, Little Sixteen, and Sinclair ZX 128K (Herquline reproduction).
Everything C64 Discord Moderator.
I cannot confirm or deny the rumors that I am a self-aware collection of bash scripts.
SRE at @wikimediafoundation and #Debian Developer. I like #FreeSoftware #security #infosec #privacy and data autonomy, #rust #python #solarpunk #electronics and #cats. (he/him)

#Queens Early Gen-X nerd ❤️ 🇹🇼☕🐱. Online since 1992. He/him. Bi/ace🏳️🌈:bisexual: :asexual:. White lapsed Catholic/Immigrant/ESL/Citizen. Not nice but tries to be kind.
Notes: kindness not extended to bigots. Someone from a marginalized group can be a bigot too. Reverse racism isn't a thing, so fellow white people please don't ever whine about it.
