Hello honknet and beyond!

I'm looking to get #fediHired, available for contract work starting in October!

I am a software and systems generalist, having built and worked on all sorts of systems in different types of environments from education to small business to enterprise. I have lots (6 years) of professional experience in .NET, javascript frameworks, TSQL, mongodb, docker, cloud native stuff, etc, and personally I build a lot of stuff in go, C, shell, and vanilla JS, and I have over 15 years experience as a Linux and BSD sysadmin. I can learn new stuff pretty easily especially when I'm hands on!

I'm looking for part time or full time contract work in any kind of #softwareEngineering, #devOps, or #softwareDesign role that is demonstrably not pure evil. Particular areas of interest are resilient distributed systems; accessible, friendly and low footprint user interfaces; and internal tooling/infra/DX. Working on stuff that actually matters like alternative power, food systems, or comms, or anything arts-adjacent would be ideal.

I prefer remote work but am open to relocation.

My CV is at https://wyrm.online/cv

The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/

But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083

I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.

3 years into HRT my boobs are still like, regularly flaring up in growth phases and being like "hi hello we're here wouldn't it feel nice if somebody touched us" when i'm trying to focus on things @_@

but im being a responsible mom and hoarding some child support money despite my personal feelings and the fact that talking to my coparent is like pulling teeth and she hasnt given me any meaningful communication besides "sorry i havent responded, stress- also do you have money for us?" in months (yes part of my travel plans for van life are going back east in the spring and being a part of my kid's life whether she likes it or not)

(regarding the storage modules im excited to document everything once i finish moving out of here, the whole liveaboard setup has gotten a lot more refined since i started camping in the G wagon at the start of 2025)

@Ashedryden yeah i mean i worked my ass off to pay my rent this year

but at the start of the year when i had just quit WEX and living off savings? i did some of my best work and built dollctl (yes i started it before i quit but the bulk of the work was done after)

then when i started to run out of money my quality of work and ability to focus dropped dramatically

@desea @yassie_j unfathomable depths that we are still coming to grips with, how would anyone else understand? we rest in that absurdity...

reminds me of a lyric of a song i have been singing lately:

i swallow
broken glass and poisoned waters
still, i nourish and grow
who am i?
that can carry all this?
who am i?
that can suffice this?

Your stacks are not leaking
You didn't mix up INC and INC2
You made sure to flip your conditions before refactoring code into a conditional lambda
You cleaned up the return stack before using JMP2r
You are not passing variables on the stack between vector calls
You're using relative pointers imminently after pushing them onto the stack
You are having fun

@brettm i created the repo for honk and its deps primarily to revendor to ensure it can still be built from source but at some point i probably will go in and try to improve interop and UX and stuff (one thing that i have been thinking about lately is the need to manually 'unplug' unresponsive instances)

JCVI-syn3A, a synthetic cell with 493 genes (452 protein-coding; 41 RNA), is the simplest free living organism known. ~80% of the protein-coding genes are functionally annotated, but we still don’t know what the other 20% do (except that removing any of them makes it unviable). There’s also a whole-cell kinetic model for ~98% of the enzymatic reactions in the cell.

This is the real frontier of artificial life, not masses of linear algebra over a text model…
