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 https://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.

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.
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.

"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
It's about opening / changing minds...
Growing each other like healthier biology & plants.
FreeSchool = Learning / Respecting / Loving / Teaching ourselves like what your parents didn't tell you (the truth / reality) and then walking through it together, warts and all.
Yu can build your mind better.
Set your notification bell 🔔 for me (after follow is accepted) and do it as you go along.... even with any disagreement. Can't stop the first bad thing you see...
Logic, Consent and Emotional Intelligence to use on ourselves with understanding and not just manipulate people in cold world and typical ways.
This takes time... do it "as you go".
All is about progressing our mindset especially against bastards and short-cutters (this includes dev's that don't care) so that the underlying mindwork (and even love between the people) is there and not dangerously sold out / using underlying cold system, with cold people, who have near-0 people skills and only maintain a nicer looking reality which in practise shit on people on the while.
Serving anyone who wants to explore, develop themself and others. We have to improve communication (nothing can last without that). Without comms it's more nearly towards fascism / ultimatums / rug pulls / constant "oh gee it happened again, let is not do anything about it".
Rebuilding things like the mind again is hard but a component check is necessary and one gets better as time goes on (not the opposite in using quick-fixes that undo us over time).

THANKS FOR THINKING ABOUT LEARNING PEACE / LOVE!
========================
Biggest help as small example of what I mean on the Fediverse which you can do now is:
1/ change your Google YouTube links to redirected links to eliminate the bad code and filter out the adverts!
https://redirect.invidious.io/
2/ follow me (take the best of it)
3/ Use non-google search https://www.searx.org/
THANKS FOR HELPING OUT!
We need to use Fediverse / Mastodon etc without direct links to BigTech sites so they get less revenue from us here clicking Fedi links and supplying data to them / tracking us remotely... so not YouTube direct links but Redirected links ! 🔗 ====> https://redirect.invidious.io/
(it's YouTube without the tracking + ads!)
I can help add #bestpractices and inspire what is best from what I know and have seen... If not UNFOLLOW (it's ok but do stick with one or two people more daily).
The participation of people is needed, else we give power away to others that do not care or care much less than we do for people around us directly or from distance.
#FreeSchool #Answers = Friendship as a Solution
On a basic level I would like to make friends because I think this is the way to solving everything eventually which the many can do, and at the same time solves everything else (solving without friendship or just donating isn't always good).
That's all for now. It's boring alone. Let's live this together!
