Welp, after 21 years with Blizzard Entertainment, I was laid off today. What an incredible journey. I got to be part of challenging, exciting projects, and I played a part in shaping the company's voice for over two decades.

One thing you learn living in California is that the most intense growth usually follows after a wildfire. Some plants even require fire to release their seeds.

So we'll see what comes next. If you need an editor on your team, hit me up.

Does stumbling upon and reporting security or access control issues while applying for IT jobs help or hurt my cause?

Am I embarrassing them? I do not emit one iota of snark.

I guess I am out here alerting companies to web compromise, phishing portals they have hosted, and easily acquired access to internal "tech bible" & situational client interaction resources.

Looking for a human translator to convey your human words to a human audience? Maybe that's me!

I translate from Swedish, French, Norwegian and Danish into English (mainly UK but US possible depending on the text - I also work with a USian translator as a team where required). I'm a full Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting for both Swedish and French.

I'm also an Intermediate Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading – in other words, I offer proofreading/editing/copyediting services too.

Oh, and copywriting!

I work on everything from press releases through sustainability reports to novels. Particularly fond of archaeology/history (got to get use from my MA somehow) and personal development, but really I'm interested in almost everything and translation allows me to be a nerd about all kinds of things.

The subjects I *don't* do are legal, financial and medical.

I feel like this needs a pic, so here are two of my three cats looking comfy (if a bit warm).

Alt...

A dark tortoiseshell and a tricolour cat are lying on top of each other, squished into a padded cat bed. The tricolour is looking straight into the camera. They look comfy but a bit cramped.

Any computer-touchers looking for a job? The Cambridge Computer Lab is looking for a mostly Linux sysadmin. Great place to work, I still pop in sometimes, but don’t let that put you off!

EDIT: I believe this requires the ability to be physically in Cambridge (UK) at least some of the time. I am not sure if they can sponsor visas for this job, but they often can.

#Linux #Jobs #GetFediHired #sysadmin

Just a short post to put it out there that I am pretty much always looking for new clients for ops consulting and systems maintenance, on projects big and small.

More than 25 years of experience building and running internet-connected servers and networks of all shapes and sizes for happy clients, some of whom have been with the company for more than 15 years.

Need your server(s) maintained? Want to move out of the US cloud? Upgrades? Migrations? Let me know! 😄

grumpy effective sysadmin available immediately

having my position finally axed liquidated, i'm currently looking for a new position.

i am looking for a senior position, preferably remote work, full employment. i can be the literally senior person in your very own team!

availability date negotiatable starting from 1st of july 2025 – i'm currently located in poland, and for various reasons am not planning to relocate.

current cv available on request (private message will do, with all caveats regarding its privacy, or you can e-mail me on miroslaw AT makabra dot org)

i'm a generalist linux wrangler, with a long (20+ years) and wide (if a bit eclectic) experience –

• system management, configuration management (ansible, chef & co.),

• glue tooling and scripting (bash, python, rudimentary ruby),

• design, setup and management of crucial infrastructure services (ldap, dns),

• general db skills (not at the dba level), devops-y stuff etc.,

• sysadmin-level networking stuff, and the ability to not stepping on toes of the netadmins too frequently,

• very tired familiarity with version control systems (from using to setting up and managing, including ancient and current ones, open source and commercial),

• also with long experience working in multi time-zone environment.

i know cloud stuff (mostly aws), spent some time recently working with the budget infra providers like hetzner or ovh, can do proxmox, have some docker and currently working on getting fluency in kubernetes – i'm already doing plenty of yaml programming.

in my recent job i've managed the most part of our ansible collection designed to set up base system image and then then getting specific services up and running, and have written tooling to help with bringing up and updating the systems using it, including a safe secret management on a small team scale.

i have fluent english and polish, passive german, some russian.

considering the current political and economical situation and that i'm looking for a long-term employment contract, i'd prefer not working for an united-states funded company, and preferably not having much to do with statistical slop generators of any kind (including, but not limited to LLMs).

it would be nice if the company had a minimally acceptable general business ethics profile.

Hi! I'm currently looking for jobs and just learned about #GetFediHired . I'm trained as a linguist with lots of experience in R+D project management and administrative tasks.

I'm a great fit if your company needs someone to fill the role of an Executive Assistant, who is in charge of the logistics, budgeting, indirect purchases, and keeping the lights on while the team is developing the next product or concept.

I'm also familiar with programming, FOSS, and SysAdmin, which makes me knowledgeable in the needs that development teams might have.

If interested or you know someone who might, I'll be very delighted to have a meeting to discuss my profile, experience, and how I may meet your and your company's needs.

Irregular reminder that I'm still looking for work of the type I'd get paid for (I can find the other type much more easily). I'm a software developer in New Zealand. There's a wide range of technology I'm happy working with but I'd probably be able to get up to speed fastest on a project using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React, and TypeScript.

#GetFediHired I am a software engineer with 4 years of experience at backend development and a US resident at risk of repression due to immigration status and history of political activism. I am looking for a Canadian employer who will sponsor me for a work visa, ideally to start in the winter or next spring (2026) in Montreal or remotely anywhere in Canada. If you have any information that would help my search, please let me know.

I do not wish to be deported to Israel, where my children will be forced to serve in the IDF.

I'm in the market for a cybersecurity related position. My background is mostly PKI and vulnerability management. Can someone point me in the direction of a solid recruiter or open cybersecurity roles that aren't ghost jobs? Full remote work is a hard requirement on my part.
