Would anyone be interested in hearing about our #FOSS adventure? We''re a feminist non-profit in the midst of migrating from Windows to #Linux: servers and desktops! We try to be as #opensource as possible, for ethical, security and privacy reasons.

Sorry not sorry about the Pixelfed double post 😇

Finally ran a 5K BEFORE WORK 🥳🎉 and my fastest too! #running

This is interesting: #Brave browser has an Ad Rewards system:

“If you choose to see privacy-respecting ads, you earn 70% of the ad revenue. Your earnings accrue in a browser wallet which you can then use to tip and support your favorite creators, spread among all your sites and channels, redeem for products, or exchange for cash. Over 316,000 websites have already signed up.”

Nice to see the creator of JavaScript use his powers for good: https://reddit.app.link/IT3ksaP7C1

Now that we have American presidential candidates normalizing the idea of owning your data like personal property, I wonder how the #Solid project (solid.inrupt.com) is doing?

This is officially the best graphic that explains how #OpenPGP works.

Close enough 👌😅 #womeninIT

If I got a euro for every time someone says to me how rare it is to see a woman work in IT (2 euro for "and they usually look like trolls!") I could finally hire another female sysadmin. 🎉 🧙‍♀️

I'm putting a jar on my desk.

One of my users brought me a brownie today so I already won anyway.

I always feel awkward about gendered award shows, while at the same time being deeply bitter about not making the list 😅 https://womeninitawards.com/ #womenintech #womeninIT

After another ice cold rainy day, with 6 more months of the same to go, and after years of seasonal depression, I've decided that it is seriously time to leave the Netherlands. Not sure how long it will take, but I have to go.

Next question is.. where to move to? 🌍

Update on this issue! Turns out Google broke something 🙌

I'd like to get feedback from users about what we as an IT department should prioritize. Does anyone know a #FOSS or #opensource alternative to https://www.uservoice.com/ ?

I'm honestly a bit burned out today.

There's a list of projects and chores that I have to tackle by myself, but every task leads to 10 smaller tasks. So much to do, so little mental bandwidth.

Ahhh we're currently at that temperature in Amsterdam that makes me want to sell all my stuff and move to Spain. 🥶🥶 #winter #cold #Amsterdam #whydoIlivehere

Before anyone asks; we can't use the Outlook mobile app because there are a few issues between our mailserver and Outlook, such as images and attachments not being visible.

It seems that staying #selfhosted is increasingly becoming impossible.

#Foss update. Sigh.

It's Sunday morning 07:00. I get a notification from my Androids email app (Gmail, I know, only app that works well with an Exchange protocol that isn't Outlook) saying our email server isn't secure enough for their mobile app. Removed the account, added it again, same issue.

“Contact your IT admin for help.”

I am the IT admin...
