My bio has probably all the relevant information. But for the new folks, an #introduction / #introductions post I can pin:
I'm the admin of https://mspsocial.net though you may know me better from other recent public activities. Contact me if you have questions about the instance or adjusting to mastodon generally.
Other things I do are bike, play volleyball, and get cancelled #onhere for being a pragmatist.
I am selective about allowing followers so I can be comfortable posting privately.

It could grow into something more, but it doesn't have to!
That's a description of the natural effect of "trends" working as intended.
It's okay to not say something about a thing and to move on.
My company is hiring for a #python focused Sr. Data Engineer, #Remote (US Timezones). We maintain an #OpenSource project that ingests legislation from all 50 states and help some very cool nonprofits advocate for change. We'll have more positions opening soon as well; would love to chat via DM!

I get that the threat model is slightly different, but honestly I think it's more likely I'd be subject to a broad supply-chain sort of attack on all users of a particular device or class of devices than I am to be handed a trojan horse'd device intended for specifically me.
@lawremipsum lalalalalala we can't hear you
okay so if you're not supposed to use a random usb drive you got off the street or as swag because it could be compromised, why is any random USB device I might buy (which are all, at this point manufactured by the same few lowest-bidder factories) presumed safe/uncompromised? Is there any sort of consumer protection actually occurring here, or is the whole ecosystem suspect?
I own several paintings from a local artist, to the point that I guess one could say I have a "collection." (You might like her art too! https://www.etsy.com/shop/AshleysArtStudio )
Well since we moved we have two massive blank walls without appropriate art.
So I decided to ask for a commission. She came up with some awesome concepts and is going to paint something specifically for us! I'm so excited! 🎨
