About
rebtoor is the anagram of Roberto, my name. Or, better, my favourite name. [1]
I've chosen it for several reasons:
- i love how it sounds
- it contains the word
toor[2], which shows my love for *BSD operating systems - the other anagram sucks
Ok, but who are you?
A (literal) greybeard in his 40s, making his way through life.
Code
I also have Gitlab, Codeberg and Sourcehut accounts, and probably i will use one of them for my personal projects in the future.
Social
There's nothing social there, only ads, trolls and people going nuts for engagement. It was fun while it lasted. Capitalism, you know...
I still believe in the decentralization of the fediverse though, I'm just not ready for it yet.
Contacts
Don't!
Just joking, if you want to contact me, drop me an email: me at ${!hostname/xyz/com} [3]

If we have already met or talked, you can even ask me for my Signal ID, the only instant messaging app that I trust.
Are you still using Telegram? You shouldn't. Let me quote [4] the amazing Meredith Whittaker here:
Telegram is a social media platform with DMs.
so, thanks but no thanks, I've already express my concerns about social networks, even the ones sugar-coated with some kind of encryption.
From time to time (almost never lately) I'm also on libera.chat and OFTC IRC networks as rebtoor or on Matrix with nickname \@rebtoor:fedora.im
