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!

I have OpenBSD as a desktop on a laptop I have and it’s great.
Also wanting to get back into retrocomputing.

Don’t know if I want to, but I at least have everything now lmao
Heading to an auction, same as I do every Saturday. :-)

I definitely tend to think short term. If I enjoy the process, then I can go long term, but I am prone to short term thinking.
I’m trying to think more long term though. 😓
