I'm here for the docs, the death metal and the donuts. Actually, I'm not here for the donuts, but the alliteration was hard to pass up. Geographically confused. Current: Athens, Write the Docs. Ex: Berlin, Portugal, UK, Travis CI, Buildkite, etc

Lascaille's Shroud@lascaillesshroud.bsky.social · 3w agoA few days ago my bike stopped working after a few months of problematic and dangerous issues.
