I love playing outside, daydreaming, joking and laughing loudly, reading science fiction with a cat on my lap, cooking and eating vegetarian food, geeking out on space and robots, seeing photos of animals and nature, and learning interesting things from my Fedi-friends. Eastern California, USA; she/her

I only look in here occasionally. Do not expect much interaction, for now I’m waiting out the “Freenode situation” over at Tw*tt*r. (OK, this turned out to be a lie. Apparently one has to follow people here early, because getting at posts of nōn-followees is a PITA.)
Languages: de-DE-1901, en-DE, some la, and I might understand some nl, es or similar.

When moving instances, do notify me first, otherwise I can’t follow you on your new instance (yet). My instance runs experimental software.

Mostly interested in cats. Also, good coffee☕, garlic, cats, nature, European paganism, IT (but not those new-fangled hypes; I like my Korn Shell, Assembly, used to like C; I run VMs, not (never!) containers; I hate the way people try to force systemd upon other people and avoid it and other plagues), cats, music (baroque was the peak of all music, it went downhill from there: Beethoven and Mozart were the beginning of that; love John Rutter’s though, and Nightwish/Tarja…), cats, books, good fanfiction… oh, and, did I mention? Cats! I also dare to sing and dabble a bit in #TeamRecorder, and I go geocaching, opencaching, terracaching, … and occasionally play Munzee.
Dogs and SJWs are not welcome. I don’t come here for deep social discussions or something, so don’t bother me with these. Nor with shudder… politics.

My feed will include RSS posts from other activity feeds of mine (posted via daily cronjob, not in real time, so their post timestamp is irrelevant) as well as RTs and no CWs. RTs are not my own content and belong to the original poster. I often RT posts I do not understand, e.g. in foreign languages, just because the picture is nice or something.

I run my own single-user (so far, but I might admit personal acquaintances if they really want) instance of GtS so some tech trouble may be expected. No custom “emoji” (really, colon-magic-strings, which I loathed on other platforms already), but longer posts.

I’m personnel to Čara🐈‍⬛ (a rescue cat, FIP carrier and FIV+ but so lovely). Black cats are the best! (Though she’s got white socks and bikini.)

Career

Show more

I spent the last decade with designing (konstruktion) drone related systems. As a trained lab assistant for biotechnology I wondered if certain data could be measured by a drone, a technology that emerged at the same time. I started building a tricopter that had a raspberry pi companion that was coupled with the multiwii autopilot so that I could take surveys with a simple one channel NIR to have a NDVI. I got hired by a local company that followed the same target and I spend mupltiple years there with UAS system design for agriculture like automatic fawn detection (mech system integration) , reliable trichogramma dispensers (mechanical principle and design) . I also designed a VTOL system (except the profiles) and took part in adapting autopilot funtions to a autonomous hovercraft. -Fun times-

I started my own company right after so I could work on a broader field including 3D-printing, a technology that helped a lot with protoyping previously. I got lost in a few projects but also developed my own copter platform. It got a little turbulent with drone regulations so it didn´t felt very safe to continue working on it.

The latest project is underbridge, a program that I needed myself and whitch seemed to be a game changer for a few people as well, so thats where I mostly spend my energy these days.

Work @ https://asymptotic.io on GStreamer, PipeWire & PulseAudio. ❤️ C, Rust & Haskell. Atheist. Views my own.

Metalhead. Love Old School Death, Black and Thrash metal. https://www.last.fm/user/sanchayan_maity.

When I am not working or obsessed with code, I love to cook or watch anime. Love to read, but my reading has fallen by the wayside in the last few years. Also spend a lot of time watching food, cooking, train travel and Ramen/Udon street shop videos on NewPipe.

Do you have recipes to share especially using a Skillet or Wok? Send them across 😄.
