Engineering and experimental music. I am interested in amateur radio, particularly in homebrewing equipment. I hold an Extra License with the callsign KO0I, but I’ve only recently found the space to build my HF antenna. I have been playing with RepRap machines for many years (since 2010) and presently own my best approximation of a Prusa i3, I use it to print all kinds of things. I enjoy gardening, zero-waste, tinkering, trading, being outdoors, and bicycling.

Why? I’m getting tired of streaming services when I have media on my machine that I’d like to stream. Having things gathered up allows for a more reliable source for the media. I also wanted to have a uniform experience across devices...
