Hi all, I'm a software engineer, and I'm happy to join the Fediverse! I do a good bit of DevOps work; FOSS makes my life easier. #introduction #programming #foss

Been getting a lot of spam recently after an old email account was on a dump. So I wrote another thing...

#Introductions
I have been interested in FOSS software since I learned about OpenOffice. From there it went onto LInux, and blossomed into getting as much FOSS software into my life. I have been an advocate for getting more people into this community, and have switched a few minds. I am not a developer, but I am definitely a supporter and news spreader.

#introductions #linux
I'm a Linux Sysadmin/software engineer from Texas, USA. I've contributed to a couple books on database servers and have a deep interest in the Linux kernel.

I've worked with Linux since about 1999, and professionally since 2007. I've been away from it all for a decent chunk of time due to some health issues, but I'm back up and ready to begin again - hoping I can find the right situation to do so

I'm also a 3rd Order Franciscan religious, so I live in two different worlds

Another packed episode of User Error is out for your enjoyment. 🍾 This week - why are people so terrible at backups and passwords 🤦‍, films we haven't seen 🎬, pipe dreams 🌑, and we ask 'Is it time to stop making Linux distributions?' . 🤔

Hello fosstodon!

Hi! I'm an Australian high school student and I participate in open-source programming. I contribute various little bits and pieces towards the development of Homebrew software for the Wii U.

I usually enjoy anything related to programming or computer security, and do a little Wii U and Xbox gaming every now and then.

In addition to Fosstodon you can find me on Twitter (CreeperMario258), Discord (CreeperMario#6152) and GitHub (CreeperMario).
