#FediHire #GetFediHired

I'm a #Programmer/#SoftwareEngineer. I'm most fluent in #Python, have some basics in #Java and #C++, but I'm also taking up new languages like #Javascript and others in my eternal journey of getting better and minimising the impostor syndrome that befalls pretty much all programmers (I feel). I'm also very experienced in #CloudNative/#DevOps technologies, and have been the one devising solutions and maintaining infrastructure in a fast-paced startup environment in my previous employment.

I'm passionate in what I do and those that know me here or IRL would know that I'm always yapping about the things I'm learning or working on - I love discussing them, and I love helping people out - esp those on the same boat as me.

This passion has led me into writing and maintaining tons of #FOSS projects like Mango: a content distribution framework based on #Django for #Mastodon and #Bluesky that powers various bots of mine like @lowyat@mastodon.social and @waktusolat@mastodon.social, Charts: a #Helm chart repository for an easy and reproducible deployment strategy for all my projects and everything else I self-host on my #homelab, and Orked: O-tomated #RKE2 distribution, a collection of scripts I wrote that are comprehensively documented to enable everyone to self-host a production-grade #Kubernetes cluster for absolutely free in their homes.

I'm based in Malaysia, but I'm open to just about any on-site, hybrid, or remote job opportunities anywhere. In the meantime though, I'm actively looking for a job in countries like #Japan and #Singapore, in a bid for a desperate lifestyle change. I've linked below my Portfolio (which you too, could self-host your own!), for those who'd wish to connect/learn more of me. Thank you

Bluefin and Aurora 41 are now available on the stable channel! If you've been thinking about trying an atomic Linux, these custom images are a great sweet spot for enthusiasts in terms of new features and stability.

Bluefin 41: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/bluefin-stable-stream-is-now-based-on-fedora-41/5061

Aurora 41: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/aurora-stable-stream-goes-fedora-41/5074

The Fedora 41 updates to Bluefin and Aurora stable channels is coming this week!

* Making moves toward bootc
* Integrating CoreOS more
* Lots of infrastructure work

As part of trying to make the best Linux desktop we can make, we implement Homebrew as the main package manager instead of dnf or rpm-ostree.

"Wait, isn't Homebrew a macOS think?"

Yes: https://www.ypsidanger.com/homebrew-is-great-on-linux/

Here is @dogphilosopher's awesome update on Universal Blue projects at Flock to Fedora!

It was great to see how much interest there was in bootable containers from the Fedora and Red Hat side, but also how many people were learning about atomic Linux through this conference. Awesome representation from him!

Bluefin and Aurora 3.3 is live! Mostly minor changes.

Here's an awesome, short overview of what Universal Blue, Bluefin, and @bluebuild are! Thanks to @Akzel for putting this together. :)

If you want something short to share with friends as you're trying to explain all this stuff, this video is a nice starting point.

"The cloud to desktop Linux pipeline. I like it!"

Cool to hear further discussion from the Linux Unplugged folks. You can definitely take what you're learning about containers and cloud native technologies and apply them to managing your Linux system... with bootable containers!

Good luck with Bluefin for your next long term review, @thelinuxcast! The community is happy to help with any questions you have along the way.

We cover more feedback about Bluefin!

Besides starting with cloud native assumptions for how we put together our custom images like Bazzite and Bluefin, we also make opinionated decisions based on our target audience.

Our target audience are people who want us to take care of most of the decisions.

Here's @jorge sharing more on this mindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CyWH6jx2pE

Have you gotten Bluefin 2.8 yet? Here's the latest!

"We added a “Forged on” date to fastfetch since uptime doesn’t really make much sense anymore so we surface the date you installed your system. Now you can flex your longevity. "

Starting tomorrow we have a series of Test Days coming for different projects. Maybe contribute with testing for the ones that pique your interest?

* Mar 20-26: @Podman_io Desktop (for Windows and macOS as well)
* Mar 21-26: Podman 5
* Mar 25 - Apr 1: Fedora CoreOS
* Mar 27: (Toolbx) @containertoolbx

Get started: https://fedoramagazine.org/contribute-at-fedora-coreos-podman-and-toolbx-test-days/

Hi all, I've just migrated from @irfan@kitsunes.club to this account on sakurajima.social. I'll also be attempting to migrate my main account @irfan@firefish.social to this one in the coming days, but I'm expecting nothing on that front since it's failed so far (update: it seems to have migrated, but the migration of followers seems to not have taken place).

I've moved to multiple servers throughout my time on the #Fediverse in pursuit for a "permanent" instance to be on, and I've never had the chance to write an #intro post lol so this will be my first.

I'm a 26 year old (in Nov 2024) (gfdi) programmer obsessed with languages such as #Python and #Shell, frameworks like #Django, and #CloudNative shenanigans like #Docker, #Kubernetes, and #Helm. I'm also obsessed with #FOSS and #Linux, and promoting them to be more viable each day for the masses so everyone could have not just free but secure access to daily computing.

Entertainment wise, I'm into both English but mostly Japanese content - including #anime. I also often play western and Japanese #games on #Nintendo and #Steam. My primary #gaming devices are my #SteamDeck, my #ArchLinux/#EndeavourOS based #PC, and my old and dusty #NintendoSwitch. My fav animes include #Gintama (as per my pfp), #NatsumeYuujinchou, and #AttackOnTitan. My fav games include #NierAutomata, #StardewValley, and #EldenRing. My fav genres include anything that evokes strong emotions and grabs my full attention like #horror, #thriller, and #mystery.

I'll be using this account to mostly document my passions through mini reviews or rants, even make some friends along the way. I have another picture-based account over on #Pixelfed, @irfan@pixelfed.social. All images I have posted and will be posting will include descriptive/alt text, including my pfp and banner. I also have some bots for posting local (to me, #Malaysia) #news and other relevant data cos the #Mastodon API is just so fun to play with.

May she forever be remembered as the incredible person she was.

Announced yesterday, Regal is a new linter for #Rego, with the ambitious goal of both catching bugs/mistakes in policy code, *and* to help people learn the language! If you ever work with #OPA, I’m sure you’ll find it useful. Check it out, and if you’d like to help kick-start the project by giving at star ️ I’d be overjoyed!
