My wife and I are going through a bit of a rough time at the moment. We're privileged to be in a better position than a lot of people right now, but we're stuck indefinitely outside our country of residence (China) and surfing from couch to couch. Most of our money is in a Chinese bank account we can't access while outside China (looong story). If anyone can offer me some paid work I can do remotely from #Aotearoa (#NZ), that would really help.

If the only way you can help is a boost, cool :)

Hi everyone, I'm off the grind, and that also means I'm off the dole. I'm running out of money, and I'm looking for a job.

If anyone needs a sysadmin with 6 years of professional and 18 years of hobbyist experience, please send me a DM.

My toolset includes (but is not limited to) the following:

- Nginx
- Caddy
- PHP-FPM
- MySQL / MariaDB
- QEMU / KVM
- Proxmox VE
- OpenVPN
- BIND (named)
- PowerDNS
- Postfix
- Exim4
- Dovecot
- 3proxy
- HAproxy
- Quagga/Bird (limited, but still)
- Apache
- ejabberd
- Nagios (nrpe, nsca)
- IPtables
- Logrotate
- systemd
- Nextcloud
-

I'm open to learning new stuff.

Please repost if nothing else!

@lightone GitLab is one of the big clients of GitLab and has been suffering from issue spam in their own tracker for quite some time DESPITE reCAPTCHA (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues). There are already several services that you can pay for solving reCAPTCHAs. So I don't think it is an effective solution anyway.

Much of those spam issues could be prevented by rate limiting (which I suggested here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21998#note_215145188) but I'm not sure if there are any efforts going on in this direction.

@lightone Roughly a year ago, there were attempts to completely remove reCAPTCHA (and NOT replace it with another captcha solution): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/29830

However it looks like the follow-up issue is not public: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/33421

Hi fedizens, the fediverse.party crew now have an offical #fediverse account for the project!

The good news in #Mastodon dev these days is that Gargron, the main developer, is "making progress on adding end-to-end encryption for direct messages in Mastodon".

It's probably going to take a while before it gets there. But it's a good step in the right direction.

Apple talks a lot about privacy, but its only marketing. They don't actually care about privacy.

just repos for now - a week or two away from a working demo state and then I'll set up some web presence.
