Welcome to my proverbial corner of the internet.

I am Ame the Squirrel, or Ms. D.O.S. in furry circles.

I am a furry, an avid reader, a game master, and a musician. My career is in DevOps/Platform/SRE/SysOps, or, as I think of it, being so much of a Linux nerd that they pay to automate things.

I absolutely adore computers and technology; yes, even when they are being jerks. I tend not to be too fanatical or tie my identity to any piece of technology or company these days, which allows me to be excited about everything.

Dumb Quick Fun Facts

  • I am extremely a squirrel.
  • I am a recovering meme junkie.
  • I do computering for a career, and I really love computering.
  • I primarily use Linux or macOS depending on the context.
  • Totally addicted to music; others and my own. I would consider music “what I do” but not for a living.
  • I really like lists! (Virgo)
  • Any pony can be your best pony but we all know Trixie is best pony.
  • I practice witchcraft.
  • I tried to be a Gamer™ but failed to get my Gamer™ license twice and gave up..
    • …so I switched to reading, I read a LOT of books.
    • My most read genres are romance, popsci, & social issues.
  • I like to say I am a Rarity but we all know that’s probably a lie.
  • I watch anime as it airs (current season), mostly the shoujo/josei.
  • I am enough of a computer nerd to have nuanced opinions on things like editors, window managers, software packaging/deployment, and programming languages.
    • But I know that said opinions all are based on my use case and needs; it’s a good thing if you prefer something different because diversity is far more important than ‘correctness’ for the health of ecosystems, including tech ones.
  • I play a cartoon spider on Twitch as a hobby.
  • I care a lot about social justice issues like ethics, equity, and accessibility. I am more of a social justice white mage sub red though. (that is a Final Fantasy XI joke)
