User Since
Dec 1 2019, 8:31 PM (285 w, 3 h)

I wandered into FreeBSD/390 in early December 2011 and offered to help. Shortly thereafter, I suffered a severe brain crash and had to run away from it for my own sanity (or what was left of it), then the project was abandoned. Fast forward 8 years, and I'm a FreeBSD user again. Another 3 years, and I maintain a port, contribute bug reports, content, and reviews to documentation and manual pages, help a bit with IRC-based user support on occasion, and now learning the ropes of being a committer.

Core features: Muslim, autist, left libertarian, emotional abuse survivor, former nicotine addict, former jerk.

Beliefs (partial list): Black Lives Matter, Trans Women Are Women, people have worth just because they exist, Covid-19 is here to stay and still deadly.

Prone to: punning, instafilking in various languages, foodporning, advocating for accessibility and inclusivity, sleeping in 3-5 hour chunks, strictly enforcing my clearly stated boundaries against violators.

Pronouns: he/him/his (or singular they/them/their/theirs) for English, il (or iel/ielle) for French, or siya/niya/kaniya (please no sila/nila/kanila) if you ever have cause to discuss or mention me in Tagalog.

Alignment: Chaotic Punny, Useful Descriptivist, Nominative-Accusative, and or Austronesian.

Picture: a cartoonish crab wearing an acid green and hot pink facemask and holding a drink with a straw in it, by @SWakahisa.

Schiller Pastiche
Against ambiguity, the words themselves contend in vain.

Obligatory Kipling Pastiche
'Ah!' said the Elder Committer. 'Now I know who has been playing with the Tree;' and he called out, 'What are you doing, Pau Amma?'

And Pau Amma, deep down below, answered, 'Once a day and once a night I pull then rebase my branch. Once a day and once a night I commit. Leave me alone.'

Re your 3, if you change the section title, I would suggest keeping "i386" since it's the name FreeBSD for the architecture itself, minimum processor generations supported regardless, and instead mention which processor generations it supports, or maybe link to the section of the release notes with that info.
