@gnomon hehehehh. Oh it’s resolving itself alright. Right into the ground. But that’s okay, I figure I have a year or so of runway before I need to bounce, company is in a niche that’s hard to lose once you’re in it, but that won’t save it forever. Already looking for new things.

New US Congress bill proposal requires all operating system providers to verify ages https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/new-us-congress-bill-proposal-requires-all-operating-system-providers-to-verify-ages/@gamingonlinux speaking as a parent, I’ve decide that no company gets to know who is using my or my kids’ computers or what their age is.
What are they going to do? Toss me in jail for ticking the checkbox that says “disable this really very important feature, you naughty user you” that every distribution will put in to get through some vague loophole that will inevitably sneak its way in to whatever chatgpt-generated specification the law ends up requiring?
I mean yes, probably.

I’m in a particularly anti-capitalist mood today.This is a helpful reminder that I am actively looking for new employment. I literally can’t afford to work for this company anymore.

My few contacts on here who know me at work now know that I’m looking for a job, so, uh, yeah, I’m looking for a new position. I’m a stereotype. Long-time developer, perpetual polyglot (if pressed, I’m probably strongest in #dotnet, both framework and modern flavors, and favoring f#, but if you look at the list of languages in Rosetta code, you’ll see “my goal”), plenty of experience in different kinds of organizations, have a history that includes dedicated infosec work (pentesting, architecture, help desk, you name it), extensive Linux experience (admin, hacking, even building distros for appliances), and plenty of network engineering. I have mostly been in the fed/mil space and am looking to get out of that space for what I like to think are pretty obvious reasons. I love learning, I love helping people learn, and I’m a big fan of companies that invest in that. I love giving talks, presentations, workshops, etc, and would love to talk at conferences for your company. US only, remote greatly preferred but will commute if fairly local and will move for the right position (I have a family so I’d expect assistance with said move, but we’re not opposed to the concept). Open to leadership roles, but only technical ones. I’ve actually been looking since last march, though I’ve kept it on the DL since folks at work follow me on here. I’m not in dire straits, I’m still employed, but A. I don’t trust the direction the company is going and, B. I’ve been pulled off of development work to do bog standard systems integration and deployment. So I’m looking for a change. And look, I’m not bullish on AI agentic coding (I’m not going to hide my distaste, feel free to scroll my posts), but if your company is using it I’m not going to turn down an offer. I’m nothing if not a team player. Oh, one last thing: if your company is not lgbtqia+ friendly, it’s not “b4ux1t3 friendly” either. I make it a point to try to change organizations I am in for the better in that regard. #dotnet #getfedihired #jobsearch #softwaredeveloper

Overdrafting the utilities account today because we had to pull from it for medical bills. But hey at least our owner and CEO saved a bunch of money on our new health plan, and my premiums dropped by a whole hundred dollars!
That hundred dollar a month savings has now cost me three grand. And it’s only march.
Great job boss man!
