Whoami

kraileth: Husband, father, computer nerd, language lover, broody person
(Note: My wife would insist that this is in completely random order!!)

I'm a guy well in his 30's and a Linux / BSD administrator by profession. If my job, my family and my primary hobby (playing with and writing about tech) leave some time, I'm also a hobbyist writer of fiction (mostly Fantasy or SciFi). I'm a curious person who likes to go on adventures (both digital and in the real world) and trying out new things (which might be why I'm on Gemini, too!).

Contact

I run the domain __elderlinux.org__. Feel free to drop me a mail. The address is: mynick AT mydomain. No XMPP or other messengers currently.

What I like

Playing with computers - i.e. discovering interesting new programs, optimizing my workflow, make systems be less aweful then they were before, ... (right, the occasional game, too. At least once in a while. Aww, ok, perhaps more like twice a year...).
Learning new things. My field of interest is far to broad for one life, so I'm usually left to choose between way to many things...
Reading. Reading fiction now and then is a luxury, but tech books or any kind of good articles can be great as well.
Heavy Metal (most sub-genres but not all)
Moments of silence and regeneration in nature
History in general and ancient civilisations in particular
(Civilized) discussions on "hot" topics - be it politics, religious belief systems, etc.
Open-minded people who understand that a holistic world-view has room for multiple contradicting truths.

What I dislike

Extremists (people resorting to violence). I'm fine with radical positions and ideas. But there's a hard line which is not to cross.
Hypocrisy (nope, not the band).
Illogical thinking.
Completely unreflected positions...
Indifference towards the environment and carelessnes about the way "modern" society impacts our planet.

What I hate

I try not to. Hatred is a purely negative and devastating emotion. It's all-devouring, not only to the (possible) harm of the hated object but also to the corruption of the hating subject. Nothing constructive or positive can breed from hatred, ever.
