23rd April 2022 - First Year on SDF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Listening to smj playing with telephone systems on OpenVOIP, aNONradio. So it has been a year of being a member of SDF. Both since I joined and got validated. I found SDF after catching an article on gopher and it answered many of the things I have been looking for. It provides a remote shell to access key files and to run programs while out and about without carrying a laptop. This is something I achieved through a colocated Raspberry Pi for a while and using VCS'. SDF is much simpler than those options. I first explored using SDF-EU but found it very quiet. I decided to have a look at the main instance and I discovered a wonderful community. I have found myself learning lots about ssh key management, using sshfs to move files around, streaming with mixxx, marmots, SIP phones, Nebraska, different music genres, BSD flavours, plan9, gopher, gemini, port forwarding, the fediverse and other such things. The community make SDF what it is. I never thought I would enjoy listening to some chap exploring various parklands of Omaha, Nebraska and finding wildlife. Thanks SDF for being a weird and wonderful place! My only regret is not finding SDF earlier.
