#LookingForWork

Full-stack developer, been working with the web since the 90s. #HTML, #CSS, #Javascript, #Python, #PHP, enough #Ruby and #Node to get myself into trouble. #LAMP is fine but other stacks are fine too; I'm a quick learner.

Any position is okay; I've been out of the office for a while and I''d be happy doing just about anything as long as the income is stable.

Formal resume: github.com/joyeusenoelle/Resum

Please boost and share freely!

@jordyd @jordyd i heard that was even more of a pain to install than freebsd. looks like you've already eaten the frog, this'll be sweet 'n easy.

@jordyd I like it! looking forward to the tooting that follows. 😀

@jordyd I've been toying with freebsd as well. are you going with a well tested laptop make/model, or just gunning it and dealing with the fallout?

No, /this/ is the year of the Linux desktop! I'm sure of it! Also third parties in the US political system!

Going to try and understand the Mastodon API so I can write a Dart wrapper for it. Wish me luck, OAuth may be my doom 🙃

@rokups

You are right that you should never expect anything back from #opensource, as it's just a #marketing tool.

But note that the #hackers' #ethics behind #FreeSoftware would made such #Copyright removals pointless!

As a FreeSoftware programmer, I welcome any contribution and I'm PROUD of it.

much easier to run + chromedriver in a virtual display. no messing around with vagrant/virtualbox.

Finally phasing out OSX. Promoting Lubuntu 16.04 to my fulltime os

what is 's policy on data collection?

@kaniini alright, now to googling! thanks.

@kaniini okay, thanks. So how do you interact with octodon.social and other instances you want to be a part of WHILE running your own instance?

@FeyTechnologist Have you looked at netlify.com for hosting your static site? I've used netlify + hugo for 20 sites, and it works swimmingly.

@kaniini you seem experienced with this - if I were to run my own instance, could I get a curated feed of specific instances I want to 'follow'?

Would that be the Federated timeline for my instance?

@kaniini I'm going to go with rabbit conspiracy, if anyone else asks :)

@kaniini what's the pleroma.dereferenced.org instance about? Couldn't find an about page.
