howdy all. click on my profile name to see a little bit about me. been into computers/tech since the dawn of the www.* - but only doing it professionally for the last 20 years - aerospace/defense, civil engineering/architecture, and now finance/banking.
15 years of redditing down the drain (as it were), and here we are - ditched it a few days ago & started here (well, lemmy.ml first but lemmy.world seems to be more stable). this distributed federation platform is really interesting from a technical perspective, and dynamic... and there seems to be less toxicity - it's there, you have to go looking for it though (lemmygrad, etc). I've been adding to the communities as I can - those here on lemmy.world as well as a few over on kbin, midwest, and a few other instances.
I'm on the west coast (best coast) for the time being but eventually I'd like to transition to a more of a nomadic way of life - hopefully within the next 18 months, or so (reference https://lemmy.world/post/176167).
hopefully we can enjoy some fun conversations.
west coast best coast!!
That's awesome dude!
My Lemmy app (jerboa) seems to think the parentheses and period is part of your link so here it is without: https://lemmy.world/post/176167
Van life seems tempting. I saw a post somewhere about mostAmericanss preferring pre internet life
yeah, larger cities are beginning to become unmanageable/ungovernable, there's too many people and too much poverty/crime - granted, the people that can afford to leave do so, and as a result the local tax revenues decrease as well... but I see that as their problem, not my problem.
I still need internet to work/acquire currency, but 5g (or just LTE) is basically everywhere except very remote places. with the right networking hardware, it's rather simple to get internet access via the cellular system (satellite based internet is an option but the tech isnt quite there yet) - I'll be going with a bonded cellular router, probably Verizon and Tmobile, they have complimentary coverage zones.
