tsdhHi, I'm Tassilo, a 43 y/o guy from Koblenz, Germany. I've been on functional.cafe, then moved on to emacs.ch and now I'm running a self-hosted <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotosocial</a> instance. I'm a software developer by profession. At work, I mostly (have to) do <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#java</a>, privately I enjoy <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>, <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lisp</a>, and other functional languages. I've done a lot <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/clojure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clojure</a> back in university. I like contributing to <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foss</a> projects like <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emacs</a> and have some projects on my own (see bio). Since about a year, I'm back into <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/trailrunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trailrunning</a> and finished my first 100k <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/ultratrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultratrail</a> this August (the <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/hubut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HuBuT</a>). I love long runs in the woods with our <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/dog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dog</a> thereby listening to some interesting podcast. My family consists of my wife (CEO) and two kids (a 11 y/o son + a 7 y/o daughter, the supervisory board), and me (the janitor). I have a strange musical taste. Either I like something very much or it doesn't kick me at all, i.e., the typical recommendations "if you like foo you will also like bar" never work for me. Anyway, bands/musicians I do like a lot are the <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/aristocrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aristocrats</a>, <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/blackmidi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackmidi</a>, <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/buckethead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buckethead</a>, <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/necrophagist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#necrophagist</a>, <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/carbomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carbomb</a>, and <a href="https://social.tsdh.org/tags/earth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earth</a>.

Cory DoctorowAs a factual matter, America just isn't the land of bootstraps; it's a land of hereditary <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/aristocrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aristocrats</a>.
