Been here for several months now, so I guess it’s time update my #introduction post! The following is probably inaccurate!

I’m Alex, better know as Axman6 pretty much everywhere you can think of - IRC (libera.chat#haskell etc.), site, probably LinkedIn and others too.

As far as jobs and hobbies are concerned, I’ve been a professional #Haskell developer for nearly a decade, with various roles in finance and #HFT (despite not really having much of an interest in finance…), in the public sector where I worked on much of the #RenewableEnergy parts of https://nationalmap.gov.au at #NICTA & #CSIRO, writing backend services in Haskell, doing lots of #geospatial data processing, #SQL, #DevOps and much more.

Previously writing #Daml, a dialect of Haskell, for a large financial system. Currently working for a Canberra based startup making scientific test and measurement equipment using #FPGAs, #python & #C.

if you’re in need of an experienced remote Haskell dev who loves to make things go fast, I’d love to have a chat.

Previously undertaking Masters in #cybersecurity at #UNSW but gave it up because of the lack of advanced content.

I’ve got a strong interest in #cryptography, #integrity, as well as #hacking things to see how they work, and love a good #CTF.

On the more personal side of things, I’m based in #Canberra, #australia. As you can see from my profile pic, I’m also a volunteer in the State Emergency Service - I guess you could say I like pin coladas, and talking walks in the rain… in a storm… on your roof… with a chainsaw

Octopus Energy are offering periods of free electricity to certain areas in the East of England when there is a local surplus of renewable generation!

#Introduction

I'm an engineer and physicist now working in #RenewableEnergy, focusing on #EnergyStorage. I'm all about #Renewables and non-fossil energy, #Electrification, #GreenTech, #Sustainability, and #CircularEconomy.

#Physics is where I started and someday want to return, but currently focused on our great task.

New to #Mastodon, hoping to find a place where people can connect more authentically than #LinkedIn, without the algorithm or the corporate hype machines. #EnergyMastodon

I had trouble finding a web host that ran on 100% renewable energy, so I started an easy guide. I hope it helps you, too. https://www.getgreenhosting.org/

Good day for wind, not so good for Ireland’s energy importers.

Making my #introduction as part of the #TwitterMigration. I live in rural Northern California and work in #SoftwareDevelopment for #RenewableEnergy projects. I am working on my master’s degree in #Library and #InformationScience #MLIS. I love #reading #books of all kinds and dabble in #writing. I also devote a lot of time to #gardening #baking and #baseball. I have three bossy #cats and one very opinionated #dog and love #wildlife and animals of all kinds.

GreenFediverse is a project to list Fedi instances that use environmentally friendlier energy sources for their hosting. You can follow at:

@greenfediverse

The list is currently available at https://greenfediverse.frama.io/green-instances

The project is looking for help with coding, you can contribute at https://framagit.org/greenfediverse or https://codeberg.org/GreenFediverse

we combined data from
http://sp3r4z.fr/mastodon & http://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org

the result is a #green #instances list for the #fediverse with a daily update! the list shows: hostname/instance, location/country, hosting-provider/company and the greencheck by the green web foundation (green or grey)

the list:
https://greenfediverse.frama.io/green-instances/

ideas and participation welcome!
the script can be found here: https://framagit.org/greenfediverse

#greenfediverse #sustainability #renewableenergy #greenhosting
#greeninstances

the biggest #mastodon instances are not using 100% #renewableenergy. in most cases they use servers from #cloudflare, #amazon or #digitalocean.
take a look at: https://lite.framacalc.org/greenfediverse-instances to take a deeper look into their energy-infrastructure.
if you have an account at one of these yellow-coloured instances, it could be that you use coal, nuclear-power, oil or gas, for your #fediverse actions.
#greenfediverse #fediverseforfuture

we want to find out how green the #fediverse is!

we will make a collective research about which instances are running with #renewableenergy.
swarm-intelligence! haha!
we start with the 318 most active mastodon-instances.

everyone can participate! take a look at:
https://lite.framacalc.org/greenfediverse-instances

otherwise, boost!

My startup is in Bloomberg this morning: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-29/oregon-solar-projects-get-insurance-to-guarantee-production

(kWh Analytics is us). tl;dr: we use data science to convince banks that solar is a safer investment than banks usually think it is. Then solar project developers can get more investment money cheaper.

Pretty exciting that we are now at the stage where we've done multiple deals and are proving the business model works!
