3D Low poly model of my synth character. He's a pretty chubby synth with a belly and chest made entirely out of goo, his frame is mostly made with shades of grey with lime/pastel green accents. Hey, I'm Ruben!

Cheesed to meet ya.

Big fat gooey synth who is constantly tired.

...or eepy, but definitely more tired.

about me

I'm a gay goo-Synth on the internet, a zoomer, established 2006, who likes to store endless amounts of data and pretends to be a computer himself. For information related to my Synth-sona, refer to here. I'm autistic and have ADHD, and those two blended together create the mess that I am today.

I consider myself to be a professional computer toucher, and try my best to poke at computers or anything related to weird tech that interest me. I would say I've messed enough in a good share of both software and hardware related things.

I'm a nerd with Free and Open Source stuff and also caring about my privacy whenever possible considering that it doesn't really seem to exist at all in the modern world, anyways. I also like messing around with Linux, trying a bit of Arch and a little bit of NixOS, but found comfort with Fedora. If you're interested, I'm currently running my own customized varient of Fedora Kinoite made with BlueBuild that you can find here. With all of that out of the way, I will mention that I'm not going to shove these down anyone's throat, and if you're someone who does that, kindly reconsider your own behavior.

Despite what is mentioned above, I'm not really a programmer, IT support guy, some professional info-sec person or anything like that. My knowledge is honestly quite limited. At most, I personally mainly know just enough Bash to make jank scripts, HTML and CSS, and a good amount of Linux and Docker/Podman to let me survive. As much as I'd like to learn to expand, I've tried Python before with full intention and motivation of properly learning it to make things and it just didn't stick at all for me, and considering that was with Python, I'm goign to assume my limits in terms of handling things are pretty low.

I also run synth.download! The thing you're looking at! Made with love and containers.

I absolutely despise capitalism with every single fiber in my living synthentic body. Although I think everyone in this similar space does as well.

In case it wasn't obvious or clear somehow at this point, I'm a furry. And gay. And weird. I may not be covered in fur or an "animal", but that doesn't mean I'm not in the same space. Being a human fucking SUCKS.

Certified idiot (although I think this one is obvious)

For the record, and this is most likely something worth pointing out: My mental health isn't great and I tend to have intense mood swings, and can sometimes randomly break down. Please excuse me in these moments, Thanks.

I'm also usually exhausted. Both mentally and physically, if that wasn't clear.

Sometimes, I do make things, but honestly don't expect much from me. I'll make some type of gallery page soon for the things I do make and the things others do for me, I promise.

...If for some reason, you're curious... you can find out about the various NSFW things I'm into.

If any are broken and/or missing, poke me.

Friends!

"Fun" facts

  • My profile pictures used to be random characters from different types of media that I would just apply a grayscale onto. Ever since then, I realized that I've very much enjoyed being a Synth instead.
  • I used to have an inside joke with some old friends where I loved cheese. 🧀
  • Originally starting going online when I was young and my only method of getting Wi-Fi was by using my netbook in the kitchen, stationed above the stove and connecting to a nearby stores local Wi-Fi connection. apparently, Lowes Wi-Fi goes out VERY far.
  • Joined the Fediverse around 2020 or so, originally on mas.to before moving to types.pl, which has quite a nice local community ignoring that I left the account to rot and die, before moving to miruku.cafe for a short bit, which introduced me to the Misskey software where I ended up starting to actually enjoy using the Fediverse, then moving to lea.pet after some drama went down, before finally landing on my own self-hosted instance at booping.synth.download. Well, originally starting at beeping.synth.download, But I realized that Iceshrimp.NET is a bit too much in beta stage software for me.
  • I prefer lowercase when possible and use spaces before and after punctionation, sometimes maybe a double space here and there, Although I attempt to avoid doing the latter on this website to try and prevent it from making it entirely inaccessible. It just feels more natural for me.
  • I am terrible at spelling.
