Mastodon admins, don't forget to add the "ingress" queue to your sidekiq service file after upgrading to 4.0 or you're gonna have a bad time.
Introduction
Redoing my #introduction as it was a bit of a sparse one when I joined.
I am a lifelong #technology enthusiast, having worked in Financial Services IT for more than 25 years, across multiple disciplines including:
* #Unisys #MCP-based #mainframe platforms (A17/A19/HMP NX 6800/Libra 180/Libra 6xx/Libra 890)
* #EMC #Symmetrix storage arrays (DMX 3/4 and most recently VMAX) including experience of #SRDF(S), SRDF(A), BCV
* #WindowsServer (2000 through 2019) including #ActiveDirectory
* Various #Linux/ #Unix OSes (#HPUX/ #RHEL/ #Centos/ #Ubuntu/ #Raspbian) including experience of #GFS/#GFS2 SAN storage clustering
* Virtual Tape Server technology (B&L/Crossroads/ETI Net SPHiNX, #TSM)
* Automation/Scripting (#PowerShell, #NT #Batch, #DOS, #Bash, #OPAL)
* #Security (#PrivilegedAccessManagement, #LeastPrivilege, #IAM, #Firewalls, #EDR)
* #BusinessContinuity/#DisasterRecovery (Design/Implementation/Operations)
Iām focused on learning and getting hands-on with #RaspberryPi at home and #cloud computing solutions both at work and at home.
I moved into a #SecurityEngineering role in 2020, so a lot of my focus is now more security focussed across all tech stacks.
My main focus at present when it comes to cloud is predominately #Microsoft #Azure, with Google and AWS of interest also, as well as other cloud infrastructure services such as those provided by CloudFlare, though Iām planning a move away from them due to their moral/ethical choices.
Away from work and tech, I love to #travel the world with my wife and enjoy very amateur #photography to record our adventures.
I also love most genres of #music, live in concert when I can, with a particular love of #Rock/ #Metal and also #Trance (coincidentally, given the profession of a somewhat more well known namesake of mine!).
Spent the last week toggling between clients and I officially like @tootapp better than the official client ā¤ļø
The behavior for thread expansion was the biggest differentiator. I do wish I could get to search from the main screen with one click instead of two, though.
