Hi, my name is Plastic Bottleneck! I’m a student from Germany
working with computers and other technology stuff!
I am interested in various scientific fields, including astronomy,
meteorology, radio operations, and computer science.
Collecting computers has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can
remember. To date, I’ve collected around 49 of them!
The oldest one in my collection is the Sperry Univac (1955).
When I was young, I got my first Commodore C64 from a friend. Programming
on it was a lot of fun!
Sadly, a bad power supply bricked it.
The MOS6502 fascinated me because it can run basically anything!
That’s how I got into programming a bit of 6502 assembly back then.
Now, I primarily program in C — which I LOVE! I've also done some HDA
and other chipprograming!
My main operating systems in daily use: OpenBSD and 9front
The 9front grid consists of 1 file server, 1 authentication server and
16 CPU servers
I primarily use OpenBSD and 9front over Linux because of the stability
and the super clean codebase they provide.
Radios fascinate me too! I have built multiple antennas for different
purposes, such as receiving NOAA weather satellite images or QSOs from
around the world at night.
One day, I want to complete my ham radio exam and go live like the other
cool operators!
Another hobby I love is playing the piano and church organ.
I’ve been doing this for nearly 14 years now.
I also collect instruments.
In total I've got one grand piano, one upright piano, 3 harpsicords
and 5 organs!
You can reach out to me over IRC at irc.libera.chat!
My nick is plbn and am mostly active in #plan9, #openbsd, #hamradio,
##chat and #linux
Maybe my GitHub can be interesting for you too!
