Ok reintroduction time I guess.

I am a 42 year old #actuallyautistic Scottish #trans woman. I did my degree in #computerscience and attempted a PhD in #interactivenarrative before stuff happened and anyway now I'm back at university studying #audioengineering.

I like #music but I am bad at it and I try to impress people by saying I speak five #languages but between you and me I'm bad at them, too.

I'm into #ffxiv as my avatar probably indicates, FF in general, really, and I think #anime is real I mean good. That'll do I think. What else do you need to know?

Greetings Everyone! -- Introductions Time

I am Banjo, core developer, and lead architect for Aardwolf-Social. By day I am a security engineer/vulnerability management lead.

The rest of the time I do a LOT of shitposting (usually uncensored), graphic design work, and contribute to other FOSS Projects including Veilid, an OpenSourceStudio (OSStudio).

Please have a profile picture and more than a few posts before sending a follow request.

My main project, Aardwolf-Social aims to be a familiar, and user-friendly, secure alternative to Facebook. If your non-technical friends, and family aren't able to figure it out, then I haven't done my job. It is a work-in-progress (started 3+ years ago), but we welcome developers of all skill level! :D

P.s. YES we are going to be switching from ActivityPub to Veilid as the networking component as it becomes feasible to do so ;)

#introduction

Hi folks, I really enjoy Mastodon. It does remind me of the olden days of #irc and the #BBS era (in a good way).

I teach computer engineering technology at the University of Kentucky. I'm originally from #Germany.

My main interests here:

... i started having thoughts a while back, in a particularly annoyed moment, about the proprietary nature of so much of the audio/music industry. As an audio engineer, this is a particularly true sentiment, as so *incredibly* much of the gear my fellow engineers and i use is entirely proprietary -- both in the software and hardware departments. From how our soundboards are not-entirely-but-close-enough-to black boxes, to how the new digital age has brought so many new proprietary "standards" -- Dante, AES50, etc. There are actually open/non-proprietary standards out there for audio and video transmission over networks, and for sound control. There is no seriously good reason why we should throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at single pieces of equipment.

With this in mind, i started a new project: OpenSourceStudio. The goal of the project is to create open hardware versions of the tools we use on a daily basis in our work, and to allow for a far more modular studio. So far, i have a... start, in the form of a wiki. While this project is still early stages, i believe it has great potential to make our lives better and our work easier.

i look forward to working with those of you who see potential in this project! And please, spread the word! Thank you!
