So my business' cashflow issue has got to a point where it's no longer solvent - there's nothing left in the pot at all.

I need to find something else, if only temporarily to get back on my feet and pay next month's household bills.

I have good Linux sysadmin skills and 3 years experience doing it for a nonprofit. I'm also a competent copywriter for web and audio.

Any pointers to anything - remote especially - would be greatly appreciated. Location is N. England.

i like the traffic light approach 🚦red - i am intolerant to it, and i will fight it, yellow - im tolerant to it, but i wont support it with my own effort, green - i will help u take this further

This is fucking beautiful. A #pdx carpenter union member is at #OccupyICEpdx offering union positions to ICE agents willing to quit their jobs.

Programming is this weird job where you need to find this 1-2h of concentration to do something game changing but the whole world of distraction, old bugs, stupid problems and everything else is against you.

Also it's hard to have way more than 4h of real concentration per day.

I think people miss out on the biggest benefit of a society built around cycling.

Everyone's glutes would be so well developed.
A solarpunk world would be a world of amazing butts.

This has made me do a think

Thanks but no tanks

Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:

1. Centralized.
2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.

Powerful.

Anyone have a view on #GitBook vs #MediaWiki as a public way of developing a collection of informative documents, and presenting a view of a system (organisation, campaign, movement). Open to continuous collective (re)writing.
Look&feel of GitBook seems so much cleaner, MediaWiki typography IMHO is not pleasing.

But what's under the hood? What are they like to manage & maintain? How easy is it to put a different skin on MediaWiki?
GitBook costs, but offers a not-for-profit free option.

There's already a flagship site up and running:

The dev is working on #ActivityPub support and is requesting feedback on what more needs to be done:

#Alternatives

From https://jjg.2soc.net/2018/06/13/foss-isnt-capitalism/ written by @jjg :

"However something went very wrong shortly after this. The generation who grew-up programming their own computers figured out that they could sell the software they wrote, and the harder it was to write the software, the more money they could make selling it. So instead of finding ways to make it easier for regular people to write their own software, they made it harder."
