Pixel Purrito in Elk: "Hi everybody! 👋I just moved here fro..."

Hi everybody!

I just moved here from @aperezdc looking for a cozier instance, which I should have done earlier... So let's make this an

post.

People call me Adrian, and I'm living in Finland, which is quite different from the South of Europe where I've been born. I've been into

since 1998, my first Linux install was SuSE 5.3 (Boxed! With dead tree manuals!) and life hasn't been the same since. These days I mostly work on @WPEWebKit and a bit on @WebKitGTK for @igalia, and maintain their Buildroot packaging.

On the

front, I used to have a Sony HB-75P but it ended up being discarded (long story) and after two decades without one I finally decided to get a Panasonic FS-A1WSX MSX2+ which has given me plenty of warm fuzzy feelings. I also enjoy doing small pixel art thingies like my doge avatar, mostly with , but it takes me a lot of time and I am not very good at it. Some day I hope to have an 1200 as well.

Thanks a ton to @dashie for running the instance and anyone else involved (if any), it's nice to be in a smaller one and finally understand that it can be indeed nice to scroll through the local timeline

Oh, and I also enjoy photography, sometimes I even develop my own film rolls, although not as often as I would like. Digital photography is a good substitute which I practice with a second hand Fuji

camera.

Pretty jealous of your MSX2+, would love one of those... That and an Atari STe are the two old machines I'd quite like but don't currently have

Atari ST machines don't seem to go for such ludicrous prices as Amiga boxes. I've seen them e.g. in Amibay sold in good condition for a couple hundred quid. A quick search and I've just seen this one: https://www.amibay.com/threads/atari-computer-520-ste-4mb-memory-tos-1-62-good-dma-c398739-001-tested-ok.122268/ — I hope manage to get your Atari fix some day. And that I find an Amiga that won't break the piggy bank
