Tech Concierge, Linux Specialist, Hubzilla/OpenWebAuth/Zot Evangelist

Interested mostly in anything which can increase the use of Hubzilla.
Otherwise any Linux centric projects.
TL;DR - IT Generalist/Linux Specialist, IOW I can do just about anything.

Slackware has been my OS of choice since the 90's when everyone was compiling kernels for their Xwindows desktop...had NetWare and Redhat servers running at home... ran their own Quake servers across dialup connections and occasionally lugged their gaming tower to the office after hours to use the T1 connection to play deathmatches... What's that you say? It wasn't everyone that did that? hmm.. well that's interesting...

Since the late 80's I've used/worked on Dos, Amiga, Unix, Vax, Aix, HPUX, BSD, Netware, Linux (Slackware, RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, Dd-wrt, OpenWRT, and quite a few others including LinuxFromScratch), and even Windows systems which I hear people still use for some odd reason. Personally, I couldn't find a reason to use any Microsoft products about 20 years ago. Appears that it hasn't changed much and still takes more constant maintenance to secure and keep running than anything else. But maybe more people use AutoCad now then back when I did, IDK.

Lately running Debian and derivates (Raspbian, Mobian, Mendel) on more devices; and running more services in docker stacks/containers.

I started programming in BASIC on a Tandy 1000 IIRC, or was it a Sinclair ZX81? Learned AutoLISP and C/C++ around 1990 or so. At some point, to some degree or another (incidental to job/contract, specific programming projects, personal interests), have also worked on code in VB (the classic variety), perl, python, java, php and probably a few others I can't recall now.  

In the 90's I worked with data in FilemakerPro, Access, Oracle, Informix, Delphi, mysql, crystal reports... More recently, mariadb and postgres. Have run redis, solr, etc. as services in docker fwiw. I guess Grafana would fall into the db category. How about some message queuing stuff that I run at home/boat - Mqtt, signalk, nmea...
or we could just move on to network protocols. Like an onion, there's layers...Well nevermind, I forgot how to rattle off the OSI model a long time ago and there's a website or two somewhere... Got the hurricane electric ipv6 certification when ip6 started rollout.
I've setup/admin'ed my own and numerous others' servers for file, print, app, web, mail, DNS, etc. etc.
And then there's the security of all this stuff - user permissions, firewalls, vpn, ids, WAF, proxies... the stories of questionable hacking activity in the days of AOL, keystroke loggers, recording and analyzing packet captures, elevating privileges and creating hidden backdoor admin accounts in netware...
But now even I'm getting bored with this, so in closing: kudos to you if you actually read all of this.

Basically anything in IT (and the construction field as my resume includes to demonstrate general business/management experience) I have either done or have the experience/knowledge to do.
