remember, when you write free software, you're writing COMMUNISM
might start offering cheap containers/VMs on our server, for like Β£4-10/m depending on what resources u need, to help us cover electricity and hardware upgrade costs
server is hosted off a business IP in the UK, with ability to route container/VMs through wireguard, or limited port forwarding / reverse proxying on request
won't have any fancy webui for managing but can just dm us if need container rebooted or ISO attached to a VM or whatever during 10:00-22:00 uk time
if anyone is interested then drop us a DM and we'll figure stuff out
At $ork, Iβm working with a legacy system people have gotten burned out trying to maintain. In part because itβs built on a huge set of pattern-matching rules.
Yet⦠I like it! Such a brain teaser trying to come up with a working rule and cleanly transform data.
Iβve been corrupted by @june, @andnull, and @neauoire, all the blame is on them!
Hi guys, I started working at AWS as a Senior Software Developer. A couple of hours ago, I pushed new updates to AWS to speed things up. I have a good feeling about it. I'm so glad for the new job π
it keeps turning out to be a mistake to put one third of the internet in one building
Hobbies and passion projects are taking a back seat while I do this training for a new job.
I'm on my fourth day now, and making it through.
Setting up my i3 Desktop to bring up an analogue clock on keypress. We chatted about it on #Freebooters latest podcast:
i had a dream that someone on mastodon was scolding me for using corporate toothpaste because didn't i know i could simply code my own toothpaste
So⦠#aws is down and with it @signalapp
While I like #Signal, it shows, again, how vulnerable centralized services are.
Another #zxspectrum rescued!
Upper RAM issue resolved, still needs a colour tune up but it works.
The edge connector needed scrubbing with a glass fibre pen (IPA was not enough on its own), so that the DivMMC would actually work (M1 line perfectly fine).
But it passes tests now π
(NB: yellow line is the monitor, not the Speccy)
Concept name: #AFreePhone or #AppsFreePhone
Build a truly Open (hardware, firmware) dumb phone with a nice e-ink screen first. No apps, no nothing, just a device that can make and receive calls, has a bit of memory to store a list of important phone numbers and that's it. No GPS, no camera, no internet, nothing. Make it run for weeks on a battery charge instead. A SD Card slot where people can put stuff on. Like Wikipedia. eBooks. To read offline and without being tracked.
