(it's me!)
So close, so will keep posting in the hopes this might happen this month, still. Thankful beyond words to everyone!
My motherboard died, and I've not been able to accept contract work since, which have been my sole income stream for some time. My setup is ~7 years old, so I'm stuck replacing my CPU & RAM in addition to the mobo.
On my own I'm stuck: no 'puter -> no work -> no funds to fix 'puter
A dear friend set up a #GoFundMe to raise the funds I need (https://www.gofundme.com/f/new-pc-for-shis-livelihood-and-health) which is on the home stretch.
If you have the means & want to help, every bit helps! I've listed other ways to contribute in the replies
I'm looking at the lowest-priced locally-available mATX AM4 board, Ryzen 5 5500 & 2x16GB kit of DDR4, the cost + S&H of which the GFM goal should just cover.

I’m a very versatile nerd with a wide range of skills - think of me as your go-to jack-of-all-trades for all things nerdy
Recently, I’ve worked on e.g.:
Rates very negotiable & I'm open to consider any project. DM me!

Thanks for your time if you read this far!
also: I will get back to posting something other than shilling my begposts, just as soon as I have a computer to post from
It takes me anywhere from twenty minutes to over an hour to draft these posts on my phone; I suck at typing on a touch-screen (and honestly using a touch-screen in general) both because of my fine-motor problems and just because I'm uncoordinated and clumsy
So it's hard to motivate myself to post "for fun" without access to my usual tools, like my keyboard built to fit my special needs, and a properly-sized monitor where I can see what I'm doing, see my notes while I write, and spell-check and research.
tl;dr: silly goofs, flexing my weird projects and being angi about politics will resume once PC is back up and running :P
