Hi all, I've just migrated from @irfan to this account on sakurajima.social. I'll also be attempting to migrate my main account @irfan to this one in the coming days, but I'm expecting nothing on that front since it's failed so far.
I've moved to multiple servers throughout my time on the #Fediverse in pursuit for a "permanent" instance to be on, and I've never had the chance to write an #intro post lol so this will be my first.
I'm a 26 year old (in Nov 2024) (gfdi) programmer obsessed with languages such as #Python and #Shell, frameworks like #Django, and #CloudNative shenanigans like #Docker, #Kubernetes, and #Helm. I'm also obsessed with #FOSS and #Linux, and promoting them to be more viable each day for the masses so everyone could have not just free but secure access to daily computing.
I'll be using this account to mostly document my passions through mini reviews or rants. I have another picture-based account over on #Pixelfed, @irfan. All images I have posted and will be posting will include descriptive/alt text, including my pfp and banner. I also have some bots for posting local (to me, #Malaysia) #news and other relevant data cos the #Mastodon API is just so fun to play with.
Bookshop.org is the alternative to Amazon that supports independent bookstores, so when it offers something of mine, I provide their link to the book. The science-fiction / technothriller crossover, SUBORBITAL 7 is a paper book here (and at Amazon etc)--and is also an #ebook.
Are you in LA area? I'll be at Dark Delicacies bookstore with these fellow writers (see pic) this Sunday the 17th starting around 3 pm. We'll be reading excerpts, signing, answering questions, scratching our privates, and generally hanging out. I'll sign anything but a check. 822 N. Hollywood Way

Alfred Hitchcock's second to the last film and he don't give an f...
Gratuitous nudity and violence, Hitch is letting it all hang out.
Despite knowing the killer early, there's still a solid amount of suspense through most of the running time.
There's mordant dark humor peppered throughout, and the jokes land despite yourself.
If you haven't seen it in a while, there's a lot that still holds up. And the stuff that doesn't (from a 70s point of view) is unintentionally funny.
Lovely! Lovely! Lovely!
Bob's your uncle?
The title itself feels pretty lazy though.
A 25 second book-trailer, provided by my publisher, for my near-future military science-fiction novel, SUBORBITAL 7. Excellent reviews in Library Journal, Financial Times and elsewhere. Paper and #ebook both.

#introduction
Hello everyone
I'm new here. I love bicycle riding, nature, anime, prog rock, jazz fusion, classical music, city pop, surfing trough old style websites and more. Also like Japan and Japanese culture, mysteries and thriller movies and tv series.
Thats abour me for now.
Thriller dziejący się w Bieszczadach, który trochę nawet potrafi zaskoczyć. Język autora jest giętki i poczytny, natomiast mam wrażenie, że autor trochę przesadził w "mastermind" planie postaci i mimo że zakończenie jest zaskakujące, to trochę też pozostawia pytań. A to nie jest gatunek i taka książka, która powinna takie pytania zadawać. Tym niemniej, można spróbować.
"Pustynna pułapka" (1997) - bezjajeczny mąż, jędzowata żona i sprytnyy kochanek: żona i kochanek postanawiają zabić mężusia na pustyni, ale coś idzie nie tak. Filmowo to czyste kuriozum - zbędne, psujące nastrój elementy komediowe i niewiarygodna psychologicznie ewolucja męża od sikającego na widok broni eunucha do dzikusa, który ze zwierzyny zmienia się w łowcę. Głębiej - rzecz o inflacji męskości, także pod postacią maczyzmu kochanka, i jej wypaczającym wpływie na kobiecość.

Last few days of this promotion! Included is my standalone sci-fi mystery/thriller, ALL THE WHYS OF DELILAH’S DEMISE ($0.99 on Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play...)
Le trailer laissait présager un film complètement fou. Les critique disent que c'est génial. Perso, j'ai trouvé ça "juste" bien et vraiment trop long. Un John Wick à la sauce indienne.
"Ostatni pasażer" (2013) - ciekawy niezależny thrillerek bazujący na społecznych lękach post-9/11 i gloryfikujący (słusznie!) heroizm zwykłych ludzi, w którym mocnym punktem jest brak uczłowieczania, psychologizowania czy, co byłoby już chyba najgorsze, usprawiedliwiania sprawcy.
‘Love Lies Bleeding’ Review: Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian Electrify in Rose Glass’ Unpredictable Body Horror Thriller (www.indiewire.com)
The “Saint Maud” filmmaker’s second feature is an equally alluring and repellant mashup of disparate genres and ideas.
