I'm grateful that I have some friends and family who usually understand what it it means to have severe #anxiety.

I'm looking for a #foss alternative to VirtualBox that approaches its ease of use. And by "ease of use," I mean "the ability to spin up things like Tails with two clicks."

Hi, I'm Jeff! I'm a nerd living in New Hampshire with anxiety and depression. (The anxiety is why this introduction is more than a year late.)

My interests are all over the place, but I mostly talk about #Linux, #programming, and #privacy these days. Also #knitting and #crochet, when I'm channeling my inner grandmother.

Occasional random thoughts are free or your money back.

We're early in the reporting process, but if vetted and true, it's hard to take the news that Facebook has labeled #Linux a "cybersecurity threat" (and is banning mentions of it) as anything other than implicit confirmation that Microsoft and Apple are thoroughly compromised.

I mean, we knew this, but every time they say the quiet part out loud, the better I feel about both moving to the #fediverse, and abandoning proprietary software whenever possible.

First pair of proper, wool socks I've made! I'm very happy with them, though I fear they're slightly too big. We'll see how they are after blocking them. #knitting

When are we going to have an honest conversation about the #knitting to subsistence farming pipeline?

Me: "I really think I'm getting the hang of socks, but I I'd like to try an all-wool yarn."

Me, Later: "I should give drop spinning a go. Maybe I'll buy some roving."

Me, Later Still: "How much work could hand-card a fleece really be?"

Me, Even Later: "So if 30 acres is enough to support 100 ewes, and my back yard is..."
