  • I’m not really a regular poster, much more of a lurker and commenter, but I’m very capable.

    Mixed heritage, AuDHD, cis-male, queer, married to a genderfluid individual and very connected in the LGBTQ community in the Bay Area California.

    Dedicated self-hoster, I handle everything engineering from networking, devops, software development (full stack), server automation, electronics and PCB design, and with the help of genAI I’m finally learning how to build a decent front-end.

    I used to moderate a solarpunk discord server (in addition up the one for my PCB business) but left after the co-founder went a little nuts and then the big breach just made me distrust the platform entirely.

    I’m not sure if my post history is still up on Reddit anymore, as I haven’t posted there in years now, but I used to be quite active under the same handle “pyr0ball”


















  • My diagnosis is in that spike. I got diagnosed late because it took that long to get away from my autism denying parent and enough time living on my own to start wondering about my “weird habits”, especially after starting to meet others “like me”.

    It stopped being a disability in my mind and started being more like a superpower, and eventually out was just who I was and y’all can just deal with it. Of course I leaned boundaries and social graces because we live in a society, but how I view myself and other people definitely changed

    So I think it has a lot to do with how this generation and previous ones changed how they handle autism.
