Just got my account on here, and I figure a quick #introduction is in order!
I'm Arky, I'm a gay dude (he/him pronouns) who enjoys being a collie on the internet 💖
When it comes to hobbies away from the fandom, I enjoy #photography 📷, #gaming 🎮, and #hiking 🥾🏞️!
During the day I work as a software engineer (focused on #infrastructure), which doesn't seem too uncommon in these parts 😅

Decided I wanted a link to hand out that wasn't tied to one social platform, so uhh: https://arky.dog
Will add a Flickr account there when I get round to setting a new one up (old one got deleted due to inactivity 😔)
tube strike today and boy am I glad that I'm fully remote now
don't miss battling my way into town on cramped buses

your bank: sorry, what? you want two tractors?
the galling feeling when you're about to go to bed and remember there's laundry to hang up 😔

Judging companies by what I find in their mail headers
You ever have those days where you feel especially like your fursona?
Today I'm like "hello yes, this is dog" 🐶
"encrypted at rest" has become such an industry-wide cop-out
the fact that the disk is encrypted should be the starting point for user data, not the end
I like how privacy-related training questions can be answered by asking yourself "Would a European be horrified by this?"
