updating servers to NixOS 23.05 but it's a big pain, mostly boiling down to Mastodon

Save me from all the IPFS evangelists jumping on the NixOS storage issues to shill their favourite toy without thinking for a moment about the availability requirements

mozilla, advertising, grumble 

So Mozilla is just straight-up running ads on MDN now.

When are we all gonna stop pretending that they're any meaningfully different from other companies?

stop calling it "Linux" and start calling it by its actual name, "Torvalds' Monster"

tech meta, anti-indigenous/white supremacist terminology 

really dislike the prevalence of the phrase "cargo cult" in tech circles, i've seen it a few times recently and it gets on my nerves.

if you've never thought about this before: it's a white supremacist pejorative implying that indigenous folks are backward and foolish.

i'm going to be out of work in a month

anyone looking to hire a remote GoLang backend engineer?

i have practical experience with:
GCP, S3, kubernetes, microservices, oauth, Grafana, SQL and NoSQL, websockets, pub/sub, ActivityPub, federation, gRPC, Linux sysadmin, low-level Linux development, code generation, Debian and Void packaging, X development, so much shell scripting...

i'm one of the GoToSocial project core developers and admins

some of my many personal projects i maintain:

go-afwm: simple X window manager (using my own generated X library)
histcat: converts binary shell history files to plain-text
teelim: pipes stdin to a file of fixed-size output (simpler logrotate alt.)

see my personal git repository for my many, many libraries and utilities i've designed: https://codeberg.org/gruf

see my github profile for the work i do on GoToSocial: https://github.com/NyaaaWhatsUpDoc/

i have strong ethical principles, and those come through in the code i produce

DM me on here if you're interested

boosts appreciated ❤️

Looking at my upcoming minor schedule

> Deliver a proposal for a creature
