Grumpy Northerner ex-🇬🇧, now in 🇳🇱 where there are fewer Brexiters, TERFs and other fascists [citation needed]. Spends most waking hours swearing at computers. Thank Cthulhu for beer! Got a Rust 🦀 or other gig which is not crypto/AI/other-scam-of-the-week? Ping me.

Account is only locked to keep out bots etc, and follow requests from humans are almost always accepted, even if I don't know you. Try not to look like a spambot.

I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being #fedihired.

What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious crypto and AI stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!

I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in #Perl. If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.

I've also done commerical #Scala, #Python, #C/#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even #PHP (the longest six months of my life).

Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.

Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.

I propose a new slogan for Fediverse: "Where you go to meet people who voluntarily read history books. Even those techs who you thought would be allergic to the humanities."

I'd like to be able to call Kier Starmer the C-word in public but understandably this might offend a lot of people, so instead I'm going to call him an Unrinsed Fleshlight.

As far as I can tell, the only people who have watched Melania are Trump and Melania (who must have been cringing in her seat), the producer, random "celebrities" nobody has heard of who are desperate to be in the public eye, and a bunch of lickspittle hacks doing their usual job of being stenographers for the rich and powerful rather than the journalism they claim to be doing. But remember, democracy dies in darkness, support the Guardian, buy a TV Licence, and subscribe, subscribe, subscribe to the firehose of propaganda.
