@LoganFive@beige.party #Canada, and I make this sort of hybrid stir-fry and omlette for breakast. With a bit of salsa and ketchup. A bit of avacado on top is also nice

@KevinFlynn Those that manage and control money have the most power. Next are those who manage people. Alas, at the bottom of the totem pole are those who manage _things_.

@mrgrumpymonkey @bagder It irritates me. That man is majorly dis-invited from my #linux geek club. With any luck the Unix gods will smite him.

Hello everyone, I'm looking to be #Fedihired. I'm looking for #Linux #DevOps work. I have 5 years software industry experience, and a B. Sc, in Computer Science. My resume is on my website, as is linked in my Bio. I'm excellent at #SelfHosting, cloud administration, all things networking, #Wireguard, and infrastructure design. I've been recently doing #infosec consulting; looking for more. I'm a #Canadian. I have lots of experience with technologies like #postgresql, #MariaDB, #nginx, #dns, #ssl, forums, #containers, #docker, etc. Also, recently automating things with #ansible. I'm posting this from my own #gotosocial instance. The #fediverse and #DataSovereignty are things I care about, and I give back to these things.
#Fedihire
Yesterday I made a "poor-man's VLAN" out of an old DD-WRT router. I put a Windows box behind it, isolated away from the rest of my homelab. I can RDP into the Windows box with Remmina, as well as #syncthing and ssh/sftp. This is all through a #Wireguard tunnel. The Chris Titus Tech utility was awesome to install all these Windows things. Normally I hate Windows, but that CTT tool made it palatable. I basically made a sort of trash containment system made out of networking, with one #Windows box in it. #OpenSource #SelfHosting #infosec #Microsoft

@veronica I agree with you, but just saying, there's an ocean of self-help gurus out there who would 1000% side with the latter. Side with simplicity, period, they would say. There's nothing beyond simplicity - no further concern to speak of - to hear them tell it. There are no macro-level problems which can be cared about in a simple moment.

@diffractie I saw the awesome #Maker space at the #Edmonton downtown Public library. I was very impressed. They have 3D printers and Cricut cutters for the patrons. A 2-hour orientation is necessary to use both. #Canada
I tried out #tailscale today, and am making a rocky start to hosting my own #headscale server. I normally dislike #Discord, but made an exception to enter their chat forum - where I eventually got helped with my config troubles. I have a working config now, so I'm grateful for the help I got.
#InfoSec #OpenSource
1) Keep on rocking in the free world, if possible
2) Saw a delightful small yellow bird today while biking (perhaps a yellow canary). Was perhaps an escapee pet. Anyway I rejoiced in its freedom.
3) McDonalds coffee is better than Tim Hortons, owl wings down

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social I'm the inventor of the "Super Owl Reverse Proxy" (it's a way to host one's own #GotoSocial server much more inexpensively within one's LAN):

@foone@digipres.club alas, the #OpenSource world just can't make its mind up which is the best, goto GUI widget set/Compositor/Desktop/etc. Like no universal consensus ever really emerges. To be fair, I would accuse Javascript frameworks of the same thing - they keep forever changing as the years pass, never _really_ stabilizing except in order to be deeply mediocre and footgun-loaded (eg. React)

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social It took #Gnome such a long time to come out experimental for fractional scaling. I* applaud them for taking their time and doing it right.*
Rhetorical question: How long will it take them to implement age restrictions? Several more years? How can these sort of projects hope to move fast enough - making similarly deep architectural changes - to fulfill the radically-altering political whims of various governments??

@shemjm@social.vivaldi.net @DGI@graeber.social in Medieval times there was the same narcissism. They used quaint phrases then like "putting on airs", and knights had duels to the death over their honor and reputation, having been slighted in any small way - dramatic and serious contests over status, fame and power. Kings were the same sorts of assholes who were above the law, and threw their weight around - just like the Techbro billionaires of today.
