3. More about me:
Hi, I am Bryan. I love talking about FOSS, privacy, gaming, and social justice. You can reach me via Mastodon DMs or Matrix (@resplendent606:matrix.org). I’m happy to help with Linux or self-hosting questions.
I live in East Tennessee, USA. I am an omnisexual cis-gendered man (he/him). I have been happily married for 17 years to my best friend. I have a Bichon Frisé who I adore and consider my own child (fur baby). I am type 1 bipolar and I have undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) which has similarities to Lupus.
I am an atheist and I consider myself a "humanist." I identify as left/progressive/eco-Marxist. I am 100% anti-fascist.
I am a supporter for social justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, preservation and protection of our environment, consumer and privacy rights, the Free Software Movement (FOSS), and the defense and independence of victims of genocide and invasion (Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Palestine 🇵🇸).
The use and promote free and open software. It is important to me. I use Debian GNU/Linux (btw) on my desktop, laptop, and Proxmox on m server running VMs of Debian and Home Assistant OS. :gnu: :tux: I also use GrapheneOS on mobile. I am a card carrying member of the Free Software Foundation (FSF @fsf).
I believe privacy is a human right. I have deGoogled myself and I am strongly anti-big-tech. I proudly deleted my Google, Microsoft, and Reddit accounts. I prefer to support organizations who are community run or employee owned (coops), resist the use of trends like "AI," and "LLM's." :NoAI:
I moved to climatejustice.social in August 2025 because I wanted to be around people who are like minded. I am pleasantly surprised that not only does this community share similar interests and goals, there are also some very intelligent people here. I have enjoyed my time here and I highly recommend it if you need/want a new @Mastodon instance.
