I'm still looking for a job in Minnesota, preferably near Minneapolis or Saint Paul. I'm mainly looking for entry level (so little or no experience & no college) IT, just something to get some experience with & start a career. If I can't get IT I want to work somewhere LGBT (not "LGBT friendly", I mean with other LGBT people), but not like a bar because I don't perform well in loud environments. I'm looking for a minimum of full time & $22 hourly, because after all of the math I've done I've determined that's the lowest I can get by with & still save money for emergencies.

I was a radio transmissions technician for over three years, working on servers attached to radio equipment & the radios themselves. I don't want to do radio again though.
I'm proficient with Linux & similar systems & self host a few servers which I share with friends & family, such as my own cloud storage & media streaming
I don't claim to be an expert, but I can write shell scripts too.
I can terminate some cables.

You've been down there. You already know that road. You know exactly where it ends. And I know that's where you want to be....

The headline here is that

(1) the increasingly authoritarian US government demanded that Google suppress videos serving the public interest because those videos are embarrassing to government officials, and

(2) Google readily over-complied with that request, deleting not just the videos but the entire channel.
