I mostly get paid to talk to my friends about computers which is nice.
It seems I was radicalised by basic decency. 🤷♂️
Hello nerds. Next month I’m going to be at @oggcamp in Manchester and I’ll be giving a talk on the main stage. If you want to learn something about Infrastructure as Code then come along, sit down, and listen intently.
You will be allowed to buy me a pint afterwards.
What's more exciting than infrastructure? Not much. But what's more exciting than repeatable, reusable infrastructure based on code? Sweet FA, that's what. Which is why Charlie O'Hara will show you how to build and maintain your own local infrastructure using nothing but OSS tools and a git repo.
The Swap Shop is back this year! It's a way for you to get rid of those parts you bought for a project that never went anywhere, and/or find new things for a future project that might go somewhere interesting! Bring your items to OggCamp with you, and then bring them to the table.
We do have some rules so be sure to have a read of the post about it here:

All we wanted was a browser. All you had to do was build a browser. You had one job.
Age declaration and verification in Linux gathers pace, Google blesses us with some hoops to jump through to install the software we want on stock Android, the FSFE lost their payment provider, great new KDE Plasma and GNOME features, and more.
Pretty good summary of where we are with age declaration in operating systems. No mention of the systemd aspect though.
In the wake of Discord’s recent announcement about age verification, Matrix recently came in for a lot of criticism by a lot of people who said it’s not a viable replacement. Andy works on Matrix for a living and Amolith is invested in the XMPP world so we get into secure messaging, trade-offs between security and user experience, federation, and more.
