I am a doctoral student and a junior researcher at NICPB doing research in experimental particle physics.
In my free time I like to tinker with electronics and computers - this means mostly fixing them. In particular I am insterested in Core2Duo era Thinkpads from T60 to T400 for the purpose of Librebooting - over some years I have already accumulated in the ballpark of 30 such Thinkpads.
In addition to my Thinkpad “addiction” I also like to play guitar and bass with friends. I am a big proponent of FOSS and try to have a ever increasing fraction of my software fully free and open source. This obviously means I am daily using Linux.
I really enjoy homemade coffe, which is why I am also a certified coffee barista.
