I like to fool around with emulators, checking out different operating systems, I've got about fifty UNIX, macOS and Windows VM's running under QEMU-KVM, UTM and Proxmox right now, I used to run about every version of RISC OS from Arthur to Select on RedSquirrel.
I enjoy programming. I used to be into BBC BASIC and ARM assembler but now I mostly code C/C++ for work and Python/shell/Go for pleasure. I hate Java and .NET
