User:D-side

Hi, I'm D-side, or D:\side\ where display name restrictions allow (not here) and escaping is proper. My contacts and a bunch of other details can be found on my website.

I somewhat follow happenings in videogames, self-hosting, smart homes and generally local-first infrastructure that empowers users to stand by their own interests and intentions in the digital age against those who seem to be hell-bent on making that a service that only they can provide.

You'll probably see me around trying to condense my couple decades or so worth of experience with technology products and learnings from a decade of software engineering work into high-level concept overviews, e. g. Cloud (service), Self-hosting, Right to own, Ad block and hopefully more to come.
