I haven't hated my work so much since 2007. Guh

In other words, Crane Wife is a great song and @halfwitamerican sings it the best

Ty mountain goats for the most relatable lyrics ever created in all time: I'm going to make it through this year if it kills me

I am the most basic bitch possible musically, and I'm fine with that tbh. Ask me to play a thing, and if it's not mod music it'll be of monsters and men dirty paws or boy with a coin. That's fine with me

It is so exhausting to tell developers that their containers are still my laptop. Iswtg. I don't care that it works on your laptop, your code is still shit, please fix your own memory leaks.

I didn't write your code so I can't tell you why it sucks.

Dolly is currently fuckin me up with silver dagger. She's a goodin. So so sad she passed. Hard to take the holler out.

This week has been bullshit. I am tired of receiving support cases from folks using AI to solve things.

You should be able to read error messages and understand: if it doesn't match the playbook it's not the same thing; and, if you see 127.0.0.1 you know them is is not external.

Jfc.

Very happy that we have acquired a new squirrel yard pet. We keep water for thirsty critters and it is very hot right now

Fascists are coming for art, they're coming for labor, they're coming for queer people, disabled people, people of color, and everyone else they think they can hurt.

AI advances those goals by quite a bit, disempowering labor, undermining the creative potential of art, and normalizing language to make less room for advocacy.

Made pizza dough earlier and have now eaten freshly made pizza.

I just lost my job today, so here we go..

I'm a ~30 years career Sysadmin/DevOps/Server Shepard/Graybeard whatever its called now UNIX nerd.

Looking for work doing UNIX'y stuff. I mostly do automation, and have avoided working with AI and Kubernetes (though I have a bit of k8s experience at two jobs, I just prefer "the old way")

Chef, Puppet, Cfengine, Ansible, Shell scripts, etc.

I've built Linux distributions, and automation tools. Having worked at Redhat, TurboLinux, Penguin Computing, Salesforce, and Chef.

Built and maintained monitoring systems, checks, and lived the on-call life.

Built and managed CI systems, and Pipelines.

I've written and maintained software in Ruby, Python, and Shell. I've dabbled in just about every other programming language you'll find on a UNIX system.

I have spent a lot of time with *BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux, and to a lesser extent HPUX, and AIX.

If its sysadmin work on a UNIX, I've likely done it.

Remote only / West Michigan maybe / not willing to relocate

Watched and enjoyed Coyote vs Acme. Good for what it was going to be. Now watching Looney Tunes Golden Collection as a follow up.

Feel a bit like a kid with saturday morning cartoons.
