This is a short, self-contained page, Also check out my main website as seen in the hyperlink above
WHY AM I HERE?
I am a advicate for a free, decentralised and independent web. Where people are free to write, publish, and host what they want.
I found tilde.club on the random page of marginalia search, an awesome search engine of the free non conglomerate web. If you haven't already, I recommend checking out marginalia search here.
I DON'T USE ARCH BTW
I use Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition on all my modern(ish) gear, Debian on headless boxes or lightweight systems, and on my ancient 2002/2003 computers, being my 2003 desktop and 2002 Acer TravelMate 220, Microsoft Windows XP SP3
I LIKE TRAINS
I infact, like trains. (Yeah, yeah cue the ASDFmovie clip) So, what trains are my favorite?
An electric one not too far from me, the Comeng Electric Multiple Unit. A rugged electric suberban train build between 1981 and 1989 by australian company Comeng. (RIP Comeng company: 1921 - 1990)
For something a bit more old school, the K class steam engines build by Victorian Railways in the 1920s and 1930s. Very reliable, and powerful for their weight.
Jumping over to diesels, the T and X class Diesels built by Clyde Workshops for Victorian Railways under licence from EMD. They were not perchased from EMD due to issues with the exhange between australian and US Dollars.
