As we creep up on the end of the year, I'm creating an #introduction post because .. apparently I didn't have one :)
I'm Dawgeth aka Matt. I'm a husband, dad, software architect, engineering manager, tinkerer, gamer, and generally curious person who has a hard time leaving well enough alone.
A few things you'll find me talking about:
#Technology - Software architecture, engineering, automation, and figuring out how things work.
#Linux - Self-hosting, homelabs, open source, and running services just because I can.
#Gaming - Steam, GOG, Xbox, and more .. I bounce around a lot!
#Programming - Building little projects, experimenting with new ideas, and occasionally turning a five-minute problem into a weekend project.
#Politics - Hanging out on the left, progressive, interested in local government, civic engagement, and making things a little better for everyone.
#Community - Building spaces where people feel welcome, whether that's online, in the neighborhood, or around a table.
#Makers - Small business adventures, creative projects, crafting, and supporting people who make things with their hands.
#Gardening - Growing food, learning as I go, and maintaining the illusion that I know what I'm doing in the garden.
#Family - A big family, a busy household, and plenty of reasons to appreciate the little things.
I'm a firm believer that curiosity is a pretty good way to spend a life. I have too many interests, too many projects, and probably too many browser tabs open.
Happy to meet new people, exchange ideas, talk shop, or just enjoy the occasional bit of internet nonsense.
Here's to another year of figuring things out!

My dear friends, I have always known you to help those in need. I have not yet reached my goal; winter is approaching, and I do not have a tent to protect me and my children. I hope you will support me, and I extend my sincere respect.

One of our best, happiest family moments in recent years. Being blessed with Rayven, first & only grandchild/nephew. This is when he was only a few weeks old ❤️❤️❤️

It's one of her fave photos of me & Asher together. 2022, Lunar New Year, waiting for a couple of our covid safe guests to arrive for feasting. Wearing our Chinese holiday attire 😊

a good parent don't offer their kids to Big Tech, move the family group to ArcaneChat

The fact that #Anthropic had to take down #Fable5 for users outside of the US by order of the US government shows how critical it is today to rely on US services
Imagine they'd do the same with #WhatsApp, you will not be able to talk to your #family and friends anymore
This should be a wake-up call for everyone to rely on your own server infrastructure, running with #OpenSource #software

Too often, we move through each day without considering the impact of our actions, showing disregard for common decency and respect for others. As adults, we have the power and the responsibility to change that. Let us set aside concerns we cannot influence and make a conscious, mindful effort to treat one another with greater kindness. #mindfulness #family #neighbors #community #environment #currentevents .

#Introduction 👋 I’m Henry. Husband, new dad, church volunteer, Chicago suburbanite, and casual gamer.
My #Faith, #Family, and #Community matter deeply to me. I’m Christian, serve in #Discipleship and #ChurchAVL production. Also enjoy systems, automation, and process improvement; mainly because of my #ADHD.
I’ll post about the #ChicagoBears, any of my 5 #FantasyFootball leagues, #WWE, family/parenting humor, or politics/tech commentary.
Say hello! #Fediverse #Mastodon

NEW: Emma Joyce died at 3 years old. The next year, her sister Ava Joan died.
Then their brother died from the same complication of untreated diabetes that killed Ava Joan.
Later, a fourth sibling died.
Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine.

I collected the grandson from school as arranged.
We've made tea for both of them.
Dad has been on a pub crawl in that London. Mum has been doing work stuff, but not working.
Why are we still sitting freezing in their house and not in our own home?
(No, I haven't a clue what time one of them will be here)
Bored.
#family #grandparents #MyDay
Went over to visit my daughter yesterday and thus the wee one got to visit his aunt, play with her dog, and feed a peacock. Definitely a worthwhile outing in his opinion.
Daughter and the wee one feeding Frank while the grand-dog ignores the entire proceedings, and chews on a lovely stick.

@amydiehl@mstdn.social These young men have mental health issues that are endangering the lives of women around them. They may also be a danger to men around them, the ones who know this kind of behaviour is wrong. On so many levels.
We —men— all have mothers and grandmothers. Some of us have aunts, sisters, daughters, granddaughters, women friends or colleagues. Most of us would not condone the raping of women close to us. Somehow, we’re ok when it happens at a frat party. Or after a hockey game.
I’m not ok with this. It’s one of the reasons I do the work I do.
If you’re a man who is ok with rape or other forms of violence against women, I urge you to get mental health help. This may be the most important step you take for your own happiness and health, and the women you love.
Rape culture is a men’s health issue, and it seriously fucks up our families, communities, and the larger culture.

Good morning.
I'm feeling 'all over the place'
I'm still getting over the feelings I have (mostly bad) about Thursday's clinic consultation, but I think I've got a way forward if my GP is unhelpful.
All I really want is to get my urinary symptoms under control until I have the further tests, and to know that my breasts are safe, and there's no major underlying medical issues - I don't think that's too much to ask.
To balance that, I had a good day yesterday with the grandchildren - hot chocolate and a walk round Hinckley market while Sacha had an MRI.
We followed that with an Asda-bought picnic and a kite flying session on Burbage Common.
The day was founded off by a 'dark walk' setting off at sunset for 2½ hours round the block - 2 of which were good fun (including a play park with torches!). Sacha was sensible and stayed at home.
Today is making rock buns and going to the allotment.
I hope you're less miserable and exhausted than me!
