Since toot.cat won't let me set up a redirect notice:

I might move on to ng0@social.n0.is ... Giving the server setup a try.

this is to test if toot.cat arrives at my instance

but I might even use x.n0.is again, which will break the connections.

I started digitalizing GuixSD notes for all kinds of purposes. I'm not sure if I'll upload it or propose as a book somewhere, but we differ so much in detail from more "traditional" Linux distributions that this is necessary. Back when I started, 20 years ago now, I took notes on paper and also printed manuals because I needed the info, to learn it. Now there's so much even I get lost sometimes. Yesterday I forgot how to hack on perl5 with Guix on GuixSD.

s.n0.is is no more in the public sense of access, because what the hell. run your own instances. really. it even works locally, because it has no own database.

So for various reasons I'm working on crawling and scraping datasets. Mostly python3, but as I like Lisp more, I'm also occasionally looking into how it could be handled with Lisp. Would anyone be interested in blog posts about this? I have to filter those posts then for some reasons.

I'm keenly interested in finding new remote work.

I have entry-level skills in like, writing documentation, HTML/CSS, and a little python/javascript/etc. I'm more experienced with tech operations and I'm most experienced doing project coordination - my best job was with Sedazad, an NGO that looks into how countries control their Internet.

I don't have a resume atm because this is unexpected, but if you know anyone looking for a nerd, please pass this on. emsenn.net

writing python2 + python3 compatible applications and bindings is quiet the fun ride.
