ClaudioM<p>🎉 <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/FirstPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstPost</span></a>! 🎉 </p><p>Nice to be here on this instance with my fellow <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> members! Looking forward to connect with friends old and new! 😁 </p><p>Now, an <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>, As it says on the tin, I'm just your run-of-the-mill graybeard geek who loves tech, music, and the babies they make. 😝 I'm also into <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> and <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/ClassicComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicComputing</span></a>, so I'll try to post some pics from my stash. I run Linux, but I also <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RunBSD</span></a>. 🐧 😈 🐡 🚩 I don't do Windows unless I have to. 🙅♂️</p>
ClaudioM<p>So, I guess it's high time for a new <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>. :flan_sign:</p><p>As my profile description says, "I'm a graybeard geek with a love for technology old & new, a love for music, and greater love for my family."</p><p>First loves have always been computers and music. Was intrigued as a teen by the word "UNIX" when I saw it in an ad on Family Computing magazine, but wouldn't be turned on to it with Linux until the mid 90s and coming full circle with BSD within the last 6 years or so, though probably more than that if you count Mac OS X. :flan_tongue: Music also factors into that and, when time permits, I'll sit at my keyboard 🎹 and doodle around or compose something on my Fedora laptop using Qtractor and soft synths. Still miss using Master Tracks Pro on a Mac, though. :flan_greybeard:</p><p>Speaking of legacy software and hardware, I do enjoy some <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> and <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/classiccomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>classiccomputing</span></a> from time to time with my stash of vintage computers ranging from a Macintosh Quadra 650 to a Power Macintosh G5, along with a Motorola StarMax 4000 PowerPC Mac clone running both Mac OS and BeOS Pro R5.0.3. Sadly, my IIgs was a casualty of age but still remains as a museum piece in my stash. :flan_hacker:</p><p>Of course, all of those took second place upon having a family and kids. The "families" may have changed over the years, but my sons will always be constant for me and are my world. :flan_heart:</p><p>Aside from that, expect silly meme posts, my usual <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/coffee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coffee</span></a> posts :flan_coffee:, my <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/GoodMorning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoodMorning</span></a> / <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/tzag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tzag</span></a> posts, my <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/Goodnight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Goodnight</span></a> / <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/tzaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tzaf</span></a> posts, and everything of my daily life in between. :flan_thumbs: <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/introductions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introductions</span></a></p>
