Hey, lazy web. Together with AWS and Microsoft, we are working on adding some minimal, native IMDS support to systemd, given how ubiquitous the concept is in the cloud world these days. It's supposed to be fully automatic, and reasonably generic. i.e. all the cloud-specific info (i.e. how to detect the clouds, which URLs to use) are placed in systemd's hwdb database, so that the code itself can be kept generic.
Right now the PR I prepped for this supports 5 major clouds. And I need your help…
I've played myself into a corner. Burned out from developing Every Door the entire last year. Got myself two grants, but after FOSDEM discovered I want to work on neither of them. Can't get this potentially programmable $3 badge out of my head.
Grants do solve some of the open source issues, but generally they should work like arts stipend: not tied to any specific project, just kind of life-supporting salary for unbounded R&D.

Hey friends - I am looking for new consulting projects.
My 20 years of experience in geospatial technology runs the gamut: product, software, data, startups to big corps. I like being open and frank, both about my own skillset (I'll find you someone else!) and about your product / software. I find that usually gets results fastest.
There's a link to set up some time to chat on my website. Looking forward to hearing from you!
