so Google called me the other day and was rather vague on what they asked me for gathering info about poast. that was fine, poast blocks googles access, at least their access they let people search from.

they said they wanted a half hour of my time and that was it, I told them early April. someone emailed me telling me I had to sign a waiver, nope. I had to be on voice call, fine, I had to desktop share -- absolutely the fuck nope

I brought up to the Google exec that I refuse to share my desktop
"I will warn my users about this"
"that would be really bad for you"

OK

Current contract ending next week so, looking for a #job again.

I'm a #FOSS dev (C/Elixir/Shell/Go/Perl) which is mostly network oriented with a bit of admin knowledge.

Here is my basic resume that I use as a base for detailed versions: https://lanodan.eu/

@Gina The thing is, it's actually cheaper and less polluting if you switch from petrol to bio-ethanol. You pretty much just need to get sorghum syrup for brewing alcohol and a little distillery setup. It can even be mixed it with regular petrol.

For diesel engines you can just get the used oil from the fryers and filter it into like a plastic storage tank.

Introducing seeking-maintainers.net! 🎉

A few days ago, @kev asked the community for help maintaining his side-project, 512kb.club. This got me thinking.

There are loads of maintainers out there feeling burnt out, but they can't abandon their project since people are depending on the project to be maintained.

In an effort to combat this, I built a website that lists projects looking for new maintainers. It's still quite empty and has some rough edges, so any feedback is very welcome.

Now you can change the tileset in the editor just by pressing X. It switches from space to ground. This also means I can edit space levels now.

I've included more object loading. I just need to implement one more in-game object.

Wait, were we at war with East Asia or Euroasia? We were always at war with them, right?

I propose a new variant of Godwin's law for internet services:
The longer any given service exists and the more popular it gets (without being shutdown), the chances of it being a honeypot or forced to censor increase exponentially.
