My partner is looking for work. I'd appreciate boosts.

He's looking to move into #appsec, but will accept short #webdev or #devops contracts (<12 months). Location: Melbourne Australia, or remote. For a short enough contract he'd go anywhere though.

He's a senior full stack web dev (Linux/python/django/js/elm, ~12 years).

Experienced in dev ops, dev sec ops and automation (ansible, selenium, etc etc).

He has experience with OWASP ZAP, bandit and Snyk, and is part way through the PortSwigger academy.

FOSS contributions include writing a django authentication function for OWASP ZAP, making a wrapper to improve accessibility and usability for selenium (Elemental), and other bits and bobs.

He isn't on any socials, but if you want to get in touch I can share his email or signal ID (or give him yours).

He and I have been the security people for little apps without any dedicated security team, for the last decade or so. If you're in security you might have met him (or me) at conferences (Disobey, BSides, CCC, Defcon and Ruxmon), because we've been attending since we launched our own app in 2014, picking up everything we can to protect our users.

(Yep, he is aware a move to security from senior dev roles will be a step down in seniority and $. He just really likes security.)

@nixCraft This is wild. AI coding tools need guardrails — especially in production. We're building developer APIs where AI agents can test endpoints safely before touching anything real. The "move fast and break things" era of AI-assisted coding needs better sandboxing.

@nixCraftnixCraft 🐧 13 hours of prod downtime from an AI coding bot. This is exactly why automated changes need proper guardrails - code review, staged rollouts, kill switches. The speed AI brings is worthless if you skip the safety net.

I guess I should do an #introduction

I do #SoftwareEngineering, specifically #DevOps, but #sre and #PlatformEngineering are close enough.

I love C# #dotnet. I can tolerate #Javascript. I'm interested in #golang. I'm into #observability and #reliability. I'm really into the #SocioTechnical nature of the systems we build.

I'm a #trans #lesbian.

I like #photography, #ttrpg, and factory/city builder and 4X games. I also like #StarWars and #StarTrek and various other nerd stuff.

I've been writing software since the early 90s. Mainly #dotnet stack and cloud, but I dabble in all sorts of languages and platforms. These days I'm really focused on #devops, #mlops, and all things software process - mainly with GitHub, but use what works for you!

I'm based in #brisbane #australia 🌏 but I travel a bit and I'm "very online". I've worked remotely for about 10 years.

My handle is @damovisaDamian Brady 🥑 just about everywhere.

Hi! Glad to be here! 😊

Hi. I'm Saket from the Netherlands.

He/him.

I believe #kindness is key to our survival.

Fascists, racists, TERFs, misogynists, etc., give me a wide berth (ideally so wide you fall off the edge of your platform into open-mindedness)

I'm interested in conversations with thoughtful conversationalists on topics such as: #books, #writing, #climate, #politics, #philosophy, #banter, #scripting, #apps, #fediverse, #softwaredesign, #martialarts, #ttrpg, #videogames, #design, #devops

Migrated to hachyderm.io so here's my #introduction

I meddle with computers for a living. Currently under the guise of a #DevOps Engineer which means I get a nice mix of #programming and #sysadmin duties. I get a kick out of enabling other devs to work more efficiently through automation.

I'm dad to a 9 month-old. In the free time that leaves me I enjoy #gaming and #homeautomation.

I'm a #developer #sysadmin #devops #revolutionary #nomad #zapatista fighting on everyday life for a world with less, I mean less work, less troubles, less cops, less bosses, less priests, less consuming, less drama, less empty buildings, less rich people.

yeah, you the rich are the cancer of this world, fck you RICH people, you consume way too much.

and I want more, of course I want more... I want more music, more culture, more friends, more beer, more weed, more life, more water, more plants, more trees, more animals, etc...

And I have this very pessimistic view of humanity, which is slowly changing with the raise of #solarpunk on my life, #solarpunk gives me hope on #opensource, on #resistance, on #decentralization, on becoming #ungovernable

nice to be here with all of u. and fck microsoft, because finally we are enough :)

System Administration, Week 2: Partitions

In this video, we talk about how to divide a single disk -- physical or virtual -- and how the partitions relate to the physical structure of the disk. We show examples partitioning disks on NetBSD, OmniOS, and Linux using the disklabel, fdisk, and format tools.

https://youtu.be/vmL9ZUh_j2U

#sysadmin #devops #sre

System Administration, Week 2: Physical Disk Structure

We'll take a quick look at what a hard disk drive actually looks like. This helps us understand addressing schemes such as CHS and LBA, what physical aspects affect hard disk performance, as well as partitioning requirements. While a lot of this is tied to old magentic-spinning-platters drives, it explains a lot of assumptions partitions and file systems make even if using SSDs.

#sysadmin #devops #sre

System Administration, Week 2: Storage Virtualization

In this video, we cover the concept of storage virtualization -- combining individual disks into larger storage pools and utilizing resources from such a pool. This includes a discussion of RAID and some of the different supported levels as well as Logical Volume Management (LVM). We further illustrate some of these properties by example of ZFS.

System Administration, Week 2: Devices and Interfaces

This segment discusses common storage device interfaces, including SCSI, ATA, SSD, Fibre Channel, and hinting at storage configurations like JBOD and RAID, which we'll get back to in the next video. At this point, it feels a bit dated, and I may skip it going forward and perhaps expand more on enterprise storage, but then again, it's only 10 minutes of your time.

System Administration, Week 2: Storage Models and Disks

In this video, we'll introduce the larger topic of filesystems and storage. In particular, we'll discuss the conceptual storage models, such as Direct Attached Storage (DAS), Network Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Networks (SANs), and Cloud Storage.

System Administration, Week 1: Warmup Exercise 1 - No Space Left On Device

In this video, we try to find out what happens when we run out of disk space as well as how the system behaves when use up all inodes. This is intended as a warmup exercise for our week 2 topic, introducing the concept of disk storage and filesystem behavior.

System Administration, Week 1: AWS Aliases

System Administrators are notoriously lazy, and AWS commands a notoriously lengthy to type. In this video, we demonstrate the use of shell aliases and functions to save ourselves some typing whenever we run AWS EC2 commands.

System Administration, Week 1: The Job of a System Administrator

In this video, we try to capture the job of a System Administrator. We show what things SysAdmins may encounter in their day to day routine, ranging from blade servers and routers to cable ties and power tools and everything in between. As we try to define the job, we find out it's not quite that easy...

It's duct tape and WD40 all the way down.
