I know it’s an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I’ve always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I’ve always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We’ve gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn’t mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?
Startrek
I know that it is not very original around 'ere but linux
But do you use Arch btw?
haha, no(mostly). I like what Arch is and definetly do think that there is a place for it but that place isn’t one of my PC’s as I have no time or effort to maintain a rolling release distro and want my pc to consistently work and not break after updates hence my distro of choice Fedora(it is a fork of fedora but it is pretty much fedors really) which is a stable relase distro. I use Arch inside distrobox to benefit from that sweet sweet AUR repo though.
I found that Arch worked the best for me as my main OS, been using it for around 3 years. True that sometimes it’s a pain to set things up, but once it’s done, life’s just so easy!! Though, I use debian on my server.
Awesome
Absolutely random, useless trivia.
I think I’m a general shop nerd. I like making things for myself from scratch. You’ll find me in the kitchen, you’ll find me in the wood shop. I own and operate a 3D printer I built. I suppose it fits a shut-in like myself.
I have a Star Wars room in my house. I’ve been collecting since I was a kid, though not really collecting on purpose until I was older.
I still have lots of stuff from then and I read a lot of books regarding the history and politics of Star Wars (pre-Disney era).
Disregarding the toxicity that has become of the fanbase, I find it incredibly fascinating and scary how democracies turn into dictatorships.

So many things. Japan. Star Trek. 90’s cartoons. Computers. Those are just a few.
The Harmonized Tariff System that helps standardize international trade and Customs. It’s part of my job, but I kind of love it and get really into the Explanatory Notes and CROSS rulings.
If we’re talking fun stuff, Star Trek starship classes.
Among other things I have gone a little overboard on: DIY electronics, robotics; jeep SJs (former), fountain pens and ink, watches, typewriters, vintage audio and media, rc cars and planes, four wheeling, firearms, espresso, photography, gardening. I have other hobbies I’m less nerdy about.
RC cars
Photography
Bikes (even though I don’t ride anymore)
Honestly, I’m kinda afraid to think about it. There’s a nonzero chance I have no in-depth nerdery. Aside from introspection, I’m not sure there’s anything I really can consider myself knowledgable about. At least more than anyone who takes a cursory interest in anything.
Welp, this hits too close to home. The combination of parental abuse, obession with psychology(partially cause by said abuse) and having no friends or going outside depression, plus being inside all the time,daydreaming has led to be having an ungodly understanding of myself and general human behavior.
Is it good? Well, depends on the situation, in my case, its more like a moderm man being totured with electricity, knowing how that works and knowing why are being tortured and where you are and who are your capture, as opposed to being a caveman and having no idea what the fuck is going. In short, it’s not much of use to me
Real. I guess you could say you’re a you nerd?
What you choose to do, is more important than what you have a natural ability to do.
Because the thing you choose to do, you will eventually master them.

Preaching the use of GNU/Linux & GPG. Only had one or two takers. Both I built and maintained for. I’m married to one and the other lives an hour drive away and I don’t drive.
No one listens. No one ever listens bar my wife. I’m offering free computers in exchange for practicing the art of preaching. No one has even accepted it bar my wife. facepalm We’re all gonna die very very soon now.
We’re all gonna die very very soon now.
On a cosmic scale, that’s been true for all of human history.
2030 by our radar & no longer.
Iam curious what exactly you’re doing. Are you setting up encrypted machines and sending PGP emails to each other?
That and reading signatures on software installed.
IT service management. Technology is cool and all, but if your CMDB or your organizational change management culture sucks , you’re going to have a bad time.
