Hi! I'm looking for a job or gig! I live in the US (Central Indiana), and would much much rather work remotely.

I have system administration experience with #WindowsServer, #Linux, and #OpenBSD professionally. I strongly prefer the #BSD family of OSes and am willing to work with #NetBSD and #FreeBSD professionally and have played with them off the job. I have done this for about three years.

I also know graphic design. My preferred programs are #GIMP and #Inkscape, but I can use #Photoshop or #Illustrator if need be. I have done this for a decade.

I have skills in development, especially web development, and have professionally developed with #Javascript, #Python, and #Go. I also am trying to familiarize myself with #VisualBasic6 for legacy maintenance. I also have experience working with Microsoft #SQLServer databases, as well as played with other major SQL servers. I've also played with many other languages. I'm also willing to familiarize myself with a tech stack on the fly. As implied, I am willing to touch legacy code.

I have also designed websites, and am quite familiar with #HTML and #CSS. I also got #JQuery to play nicely as well.

I am a jack of all trades, with my strongest skills I feel be in system administration and graphic design.

LLMs and generative AI are something I prefer to avoid where possible. I have experience with working under tight deadlines with a micromanaging boss before recent hype around LLMs, though I'd rather avoid such things if possible.

Alright Fedi, I'm looking for a job out of AI hell. I know chances aren't great for anyone right now, but I'm taking mine anyway.

I'm a (senior?) #Python developer with 10 years of experience in both #DataScience and #SoftwareEngineering (with a preference for the latter). I can find my way around #Rust and don't shy away from #JavaScript. I've done a bit of #React lately and haven't found it terrible.

I thrive in team environments where I have time both to work on my own and in pairs or mobs ( https://mob.sh is a great tool I'd use again, but IntelliJ's Code With Me works too).

My greatest passion is automating the tasks around coding away - testing, building, deploying code with either the shortest set of commands or just fully automated from a pipeline on pull/merge requests.

I won't say no to places that require me to use AI, but I have a strong preference to be able to write my code myself.

Would love boosts for reach! Also thanks for reading 💖

Edit because I'm really dumb: looking in the greater #Mainz/ #Wiesbaden area in #Germany or fully remote. Remote is generally an important factor for me for personal reasons; if your company does things like "3 days a week office", I will only be able to do this in a very small radius.

🎮 SuperTuxKart (Linux' answer to Mario Kart) in trouble - wide PHP2 issue forced servers offline ❌

Want to help? Fundraiser is LIVE --the developers are rebuilding the server in Python (dropping PHP). AI won't be used to write the code.

Please, boost to increase consciousness and reach for this 🙏 free & open source SuperTuxKart is loved by millions.

“Something to keep in mind is that sys.platform actually represents the operating system that your Python interpreter was built for, while platform.system() returns the operating system that your Python interpreter is currently running on.”

#Python

Ok I feel dumb. How in the nine h*lls do I set a default #Python version on #NetBSD ? I don't mean in pkgsrc, I mean the actual "python" or "python3" executable, and those installed by the various py313-whatever packages.

And don't tell me to build from pkgsrc because this machine will need a week to do so. :D

@ltning
One of the reasons #Python (and Ruby, maybe Node) annoy me, moving up by a patch level breaks things - a patch shouldn't break anything if you follow semver rules; minor and major sure. Then there like 3 or more versions, as dependencies which is just nuts. Not a #NetBSD thing, but side commentary on the state of scripting software. Give me #C!.

tl;dr https://www.python-a2z.info/ is a website I created for myself because the online #Python docs need a jump page.

Ever tried to search the online docs for the builtin "set" type? You get every page that has the word "set" in it, and "set" is a pretty popular word!

Same story for "list", "dict", and many more. "f-strings"? Unless you know to look for "Formatted String Literals", you'll be searching for a while.

it seems ppl need to upgrade pip and uv due to the emudhra debacle. #python

Dutch police stopped a car on the A4. Inside they found two living pythons hidden in the center console. Not Python running in the terminal console, but real snakes. They also found mice for feed, a goldfish, and joints. The driver was under influence. All animals are safe now in a shelter.

„pip install“ ins System-Python klappt unter Ubuntu 26.04 nicht mehr. Das System-Python ist als „externally managed“ markiert (PEP 668).

Für Kommandozeilen-Werkzeuge nimmt man pipx:
sudo apt install pipx
pipx install yt-dlp
