Love LibreOffice? Got experience with infrastructure and system administration? We are The Document Foundation (TDF), the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice. We’re passionate about free software, the open source culture and about bringing new people with fresh ideas into our project. To assist the LibreOffice community with its work, we are looking for a full-time (remote) Infrastructure and System Administrator, to start as soon as possible. Here’s what you’ll do System orchestration and OS management: Orchestrate, deploy, and maintain all internal and external systems, specifically standard and customised Linux operating systems, with the majority of machines running Debian GNU/Linux. We currently run SaltStack, but proposals for different ways to handle config management and deployment are welcome.

Database, cloud, and App Administration: Administer database servers such as MariaDB and PostgreSQL, cloud storage repositories (such as Nextcloud), web applications, email services, and developer tooling. Network and hardware maintenance: Maintain core physical and cloud network infrastructure, including routers, switches, and NAS storage, amongst them devices from MikroTik.

I'm not sure if we've ever been at a point in history before where competence was an active hindrance to your professional success in the way it is now

yaknow… the #luddites smashed machines that made usable products.

with a fail rate of as high as 90% in something as simple as search and with sloppped “art” that looks like it was created for a Jehova Witness or Mormon magazine, the only thing #AIslop makes is the mirage of shareholder value.

then there’s the ecocidal damage of data centers. and the theft of public utilities.

“anti-tech extremism” is fascist speak for “protect the mirage of our stocks’ value with cops”.
