Hi.  

I'm a professional computer geek in the Bay Area. I've been a sysadmin, designed and built networks, been a penetration tester, done security research, and incident response. I'm flexible enough to work as in aerospace engineering as well as computational pharmacology.

I'm still #unemployed.

I'm searching for a job, on-site or remote. If you're hiring, please DM me, or at least send me a link or two? Please?

Boycott request, now through May 25.

"REI’s unionized workers are calling for a boycott of the retailer’s biggest sale of the year after contract negotiations faltered."

"The workers recently approved a decision to call for a boycott of the retailer’s anniversary sale, which will run from May 15 to May 25. They’re asking the public not to shop at REI over that time period."

If you’re in the U.S., please consider signing this petition regarding proposed Medicaid work requirements. People with ME/CFS and Long COVID need to be designated as medically frail to be exempted from these work requirements in order to continue to receive benefits. As someone who has moderate ME/CFS, I am homebound and am unable to meet my daily needs without assistance—people who are severe or worse can’t get out of bed. #MECFS @mecfs #LongCovid

Edit: all set now! Answer is "Do not use FaceTime".

Hey, slightly urgent question re FaceTime and privacy.

Somebody wants to FaceTime with me and has given me their phone number to do so. I have FaceTime on my MacBook which I would be using. If I do this, does it expose the email associated with my Apple ID to the other user? Does it expose the phone number associated with that Apple ID to the other user?

I know that if I originate a meeting in FaceTime on MacOS by creating a meeting link to share, I expose at least the email address of my AppleID to the other party. I know this bc I get a pop-up warning to that effect when I go to connect to that meeting. I don't know if it also gives up my phone number. But I also know the person who uses the link to meet with me does not give up their information to me.

I have no idea how this works with phone numbers. What info would I be exposing to this other party if I used their phone number to connect with them from macOS?

Here's a strange situation:

thousands of #Rust developers use #bacon, #broot, #dysk, or #lazy-regex every single day — tools I wrote, maintain, and improve for free.

Their companies, though? None of them want to hire their author.

If you use my tools at work and your company does #Rust, I'd really appreciate a hand landing a job or freelance mission. A boost goes a long way. 🙏🦀
