Okay. $dayjob has gotten to the point where I need to do something about it.

I'm officially looking for other opportunities in the sysadmin/IT/devops/etc space. I've been a linux/unix sysadmin generalist for ~20 years now and I'd like to apply my considerable skills and experience to the aid of some organization seeking to do good things in the world.

You can find my resume at github.com/48kRAM/resume (Yes, my resume has a Makefile)

Open to both remote positions but also to relocation. I enjoy having my hands on hardware and fixing problems. And, of course, I'll bring all the retro gaming nerdery with me.

I'd love to #getfedihired :)

Thanks

You understand, right?

Bluesky is funded and developed and operated by THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE who *sold* your most recent community.

It is the product of exploitative capitalist long-termers who will sell your *next* community as rapidly and disdainfully as they did your last one, because THEIR INTEREST IN COMMUNITY IS IN EXTRACTING ITS VALUE.

Fedi's hard, sure. And it's not any safer, agreed.

But at least it's not made to benefit the very people who screwed us LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO.

This is how trans-genocide sounds:

The fact that the $7.25/hour federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 is atrocious.

But it's actually far worse than that.

The federal minimum wage is worth ~30% less today than it was worth in 2009.

It’s worth ~40% less than in 1968.

It’s time to raise the wage.

i might just carry n95 masks for the rest of my life. they're great. weigh nothing, take up no space, fix so many problems. stinky? smokey? pollen? pet dander? forgot to shave? want to avoid face rec? have to be around sick people? dont want to have to show emotions? nbd! one piece of paper fixes all of these problems & more!

@coral Recreational Anger: read things that upset you so you can feel upset, and share it so other people can be angry along with you and you feel less alone. These things needn't be true to suffice: make some up.

Habitual Disdain: hating someone because you have for a long time, attributing malfeasance to everything they do. Share "information" (truthful or not, it doesn't matter). The more shaming and blaming you put on them, the more easily you can justify your disdain.

These are the textually-transmitted diseases of social media.

I was finally getting used to NOT having quote-posts.

Please, can we not hate-share things? Don't QP to dunk. QP to "yes-and," and QP for memes, but don't QP hate into your friends' timelines.

This is not mine, but I find it to be a practical guide for discourse on the #fediverse or in everyday life, for that matter:).

Share/boost it, if you find it useful.

We do not know who we are because we've been indoctrinated to be no different from machines.

"Google will still index your Fediverse content when it appears in the timelines of other sites..." 

@freeschool I don't think people are gonna do that because the general population really doesn't care if Google makes money by indexing their content.. infact that will only make their content more popular so they'll probably be happy about it.. me personally, I wouldn't post something publicly I don't want others to see
