We’re DECSystem10, though sinza is a convenient singular entity that we tend to use I as. We are a plural collective!
I enjoy retrocomputing and find that NetBSD is awesome! In general I prefer BSD to Linux actually.
I enjoy getting old computers to talk to each other, as well as alternatives to the web where possible like Gopher, Gemini, and Spartan!

Vibe-coders (actually probably will steal “slop kiddies”) ruin a good thing yet again.
I turn to retrocomputing to get away from it all because I would expect people in that world to generally agree this is horrible and there’s somehow vibe-coding there too. I’m so tired of this.
My first thought was something like the RC2014? It uses a z80 (an 8-bit processor that was still in production until very recently iirc) as the processor of choice and I have seen a community for the thing!
They also have a Mastodon presence. That’s actually how I first heard of them!
