Currently searching for a software-related job. I recently graduated with a degree in computer science and have experience in industry from a software development internship. I also have a lot of outside experience working with Linux and *BSD and have developed many pet projects in most major programming languages. These projects include web servers, terminal applications, web apps, games, and simulations. I'm also comfortable with functional programming and can learn new concepts at a rapid pace. In addition to all this, I can understand German and also have basic knowledge of Russian.

If you or someone you know of is looking for a software developer and I meet their qualifications, please let me know.

I got some new soap from the local soap store yesterday and it's really nice. It's lemongrass and eucalyptus scented and it makes my whole bathroom smell nice.

Aerial view of Diamond Head volcanic cone located on the island of O'ahu in Hawaii.

Okay, I think this "fedpost video" on Youtube is yet another government fake, but I will need more time to confirm.

Here are some points:
1. This guy doesn't seem emotional at all about killing his own father. Seriously, even if your father was the most evil person in the world, you would still feel remorse after killing him.
2. His talking points are normiecon tier. Talking about "muh deepstate" (anyone who has done actual research knows that the shadow government is much deeper than that) and Joe Biden.
3. This video was posted on (s)election year. Of course, the feds are going to make shit like this just to stir the pot.

BREAKING: 33-year-old Pennsylvania man beheads father, shows severed head on YouTube, and asks for violence against Federal employees. I censored it as best I could. Holy fuck. Guess he decided to fed post IRL.

I can't tell you how good it feels to finally have a brand name to put on my software licenses. It feels so professional, even though I'm currently profiting off of my works.

Wrote my own RNG algorithm (just take the sine of a seed and increment the seed by one for the next time). I also made it so that enemies can't spawn in the first room.

@mk @theorytoe you missed the point. containers just make things harder. they are nice rube goldberg machines for shit languages like python which are hell to deploy.

when just installing everything from packages, things will receive timely security patches of the distribution.

when using VMs, one has to upgrade a few VMs for this. not great, not terrible.

with containers one has to hope that some image down the stack will be upgraded to include the fix, while the whole setup provides worse isolation than VMs (which already is prone to leakage). with containers the isolation is essentially the same as for plain linux users and chroot. no improvement. cgroups limiting resource usage can be set by the init system, i think systemd does this already.

containers sure have their use case, but mostly they are a crappy solution waiting for problems.

in the end the image is a meme which makes the point that ftp-ing a directory full of php scripts worked better than all the modern shit.

Tried to add random enemy placement to the dungeon, but they all appear in the same room. I realize that the common way to do RNG in C and C++, srand(time(NULL)) uses time (in seconds) as a seed, and since the loop obviously runs multiple times per second, I'm getting the same results.

I think my solution would be to use my own RNG algorithm with a seed that increments every time it is called.

@intentionwebdesign Nobody needs to be "getting into people's inboxes" 🤮

Yes this shit Google is doing is a problem - for recipients who can't get actual personal mail or automated reports they actually *want to get*. Blocking small businesses from spamming is not a problem.
