Hey Fediverse fam, This year taught me resilience. Focusing on rebuilding & moving forward. If you're able to help my Bday recovery fund, I'd be so grateful. If not, knowing you're in my corner is enough.

I do, now it's bluesky or reddit and even then. A disappointing future this is

White Washington State ferry docked at terminal during vibrant orange and yellow sunset over Puget Sound with the Olympic mountain range visible on horizon

Empty ferry terminal parking lot at sunset with white passenger ferry docked at pier, warm orange sky reflecting on calm water, Olympic mountains in distance

Seattle skyline at dusk with glass skyscrapers, including a triangular tower, rising above parking area with security booths and parked vehicles

Another day, another Seattle sunset! With a surprise bonus!

Definitely need to invest in a camera outside of my phone as I know I could do better with literally any physical zoom lens. Know anyone looking for a Technical Project Manager?

Always open to new opportunities and making new connections!

Ultra wide shot of the Washington State ferry passing in front of the sunset going over the Olympic mountains.

And the ultra wide version!

Give a small update on the fundraiser, it was a partial success and we were able to move in!
Just got lots of bills to pay after the fact and it's rough but so far we're making it.
Anyway here's a picture I took yesterday of the sunset and the ferry

Going for the Developer relations position like I wouldn't just give both sides candy and play Chutes and ladders until everyone on all sides agrees to more bug fixes.

You're so right, too much extron today and not enough aruba

It's never DHCP and when it is, it's always DHCP

In between it all I took this nice picture in #bremerton

Anti-homelessness Housing Fund

Hey everyone, I set up a fundraiser to help us get our housing situation figured out. Anything and everything helps! While our goal is $2k, even $1 helps. We really tried everything to make it work so Thank you to anyone that feels so obliged as to provide anything.

Posting to the Internet can be difficult at times, especially when in need. So, here I go I guess.

Congrats Greg!

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!

A few options without pushing away users could be:
Remote support is a good start, maybe a patreon where users can suggest and test the next ideas or features, maybe offer training services to businesses.

I'm trying to think of some of them myself for a project I'm working on.

@withenoughcoffee.com on Bluesky My talk, The intersectionality of Human Psychology, Security and The Era of AI and Misinformation. from #LinuxFestNorthwest is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beDzvX-o2o8

One of my favorites, Thank you again for this wonderful call to action!

We must ALL be aware of the way we interact with information & AI, as well as helping those who don't know how to do that yet. So check out it out!

bluesky has been achieved externally

@bad-example.com on Bluesky FOLKS WE DID IT ✅ I'm typing this on @aviva.gay's deer.social ✅ which posted to @alnkq.bsky.social's AppViewLite ✅ which is listening to the @blacksky.app atproto.africa relay [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Congratulations @bad-example.com! An open Bluesky helps the open ATmosphere grow, and helps the open source cause as a whole. So excited to see this all lining up!

This is such an important thread, it's entirely the reason I'm working to meld their Fairness testing into curriculum at my college. Even outside of that, it's Very important to be aware of bias when writing anything that affects people.

Bluesky's entire structure is finally being entirely de-tethered from its closed source pieces. Check out @bad-example.com on Bluesky their work towards an open social network.

pretty damn close to a 100% top-to-bottom bluesky-free bluesky

Absolutely, it was wonderful! Also, It's entirely because of you I'm starting the process of diving into the BLT-7B model we talked about, I'll be posting results if I can get it going proper. That lack of tokenizer means quantization is a bit wack but we prevail!

Of course! Your talk about the Intersectionality of Psyc, security, and AI was incredibly insightful. I especially loved the NeuroSpicy tangent that happened during. Hope to catch you, Hazel, and the others again soon for more fun in the future!

#LFNW25 was a supurb event, from learning Fairness Testing to The geology of Open Source, Linux Security and nix-bitcoin, to Free Software and Framework toys. I enjoyed every bit & am stoked for the future!

Specifically I want to thank @hazelweakly.me and @withenoughcoffee.com for some great talks!

So many projects right now, between Salesforce, College, and my own personal endeavors. Honestly hoping at least one of them can help network me a career continuing the tech I enjoy.

Anyway, Heading to #LinuxFest tomorrow! Lots of exciting things to learn and discuss with #linux heads alike.

A graphic of my social media accounts across three services, along with my profile picture of my face at a 3/4 angle: Mastodon - @BobSteva@pnwzone Bluesky - @theoppositereaction.com Nostr - @BobSteva Or using the OpenVibe app, follow on all three services from a singular place.

So while trying to figure out social media, I found @openvibe.social and it's allowed me to post across three of the latest medias as well as engage!

Follow me or just check out what I post on all three.

While I knew about the ability to broadcast internet over ham, I had no idea the Puget Sound has its own network. Having never heard of HamWan, its super cool and is exactly what I was thinking, just actually Implemented! Not on the airwaves yet, but once size and finances allow I'd like to be.
