I've observed how the January news cycle always sets the tone for the entire year. This is both intentional and orchestrated:

Nostalgic today

i'm probably going to be told tomorrow that i'm being laid off, so if anyone has a lead on a decent remote embedded software engineering or unix/linux systems job, i've got a resume to send you.

i don't like discussing the specifics of who my past clients have been in public. however, my most recent position was contracting with the kernel team of a major CDN and cloud services provider that i know many people on fedi are also current or former employees of, maintaining their internal linux distribution (an customized Ubuntu downstream) for their custom server platforms, porting forward and cleaning up patchsets to newer versions of the distribution, fixing issues in toolchains and libraries, etc.

i've also done embedded software work for a large variety of devices including medical, cellular technology, and industrial control equipment, in addition to some consumer products. i've done board bringup and BSP development with Yocto/Openembedded, Buildroot, FreeRTOS, etc, on most major SoC and microcontroller families. when doing business logic, I am most comfortable in C and Lua, but fine working with C++ codebases, and can learn to work with other languages if a project needs it.

boosts appreciated.

@gabriel Mastodon hate is unjustified and is a stale meme and Pleroma isn't really that good.

I will die on this hill. 🚬

What's your hot take that people just aren't ready for?

I got the Humble Bundle VN and have dup keys for:


If My Heart Had Wings
Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~ + 2016 DLC (separate keys)

Anyone wants/needs anything/want to trade other unused humble shit?

Take the action to own your own computer, even if it is using older hardware.

A system with PC3 or PC4 memory can perform just fine for most tasks (especially if you have 16GB of more).

Use your own hardware. Run Linux or BSD. Take action to remain free. Use encryption.

oh god

99% of smart home crap just feels like

why is it connected to the internet? so it can get updates
why does it need updates? because it's connected to the internet

Josh managed to fix a long standing problem I've had in the CyberChud engine using Claude. Josh doesn't know C, or gamedev, or rendering, or any of this stuff.

Claude even understood how I do memory management, which is clunky and fragile: https://gitgud.io/CrunkLord420/cyberchud/-/merge_requests/1/diffs

"We are currently in the midst of governments finalizing the negotiations with corporations under what terms they will dictate cyberspace to the public. What is good for the public, never mind what the people actually want is irrelevant to this process. The presumption is that a state’s “digital sovereignty” and corporate “innovation” are vastly more important than the interests of the people. This is why all ‘safety’ reforms for cyberspace will inevitably fail to actually increase safety, they’re not really intended to. In fact, the most likely outcome of these ‘reforms’ is to be highly dangerous to the public in more insidious and difficult to quantify ways."
