JesseBot<p>Good evening, Fediverse! I've just migrated from tech.lgbt to my own self hosted GoToSocial instance, and this feels like a great time to do an intro, because I also just turned 32 today!</p><p>I'm a <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> and <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a> SRE working for a gaming company in Amsterdam (Netherlands), and I enjoy hacking on :k8s: <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/kubernetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kubernetes</span></a> projects in my spare time (I write a lot of <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/helm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>helm</span></a> charts and :argocd: <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/argocd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>argocd</span></a> apps). I've been in the hosting/platform/devops industry for around 13ish years and I'm still just as in love as I was before, though where I used to focus on Big Tech, I now focus on self-hosting k8s on metal. Ask me about self hosting whatever project you want, and I can probably point you in the right direction!</p><p>My main operating systems are MacOS and :debian: <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> (love <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> dearly). I'm a <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> and <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neovim</span></a> user, but I cut my teeth on vi and later <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vim</span></a> and so those are still dear to my heart. I want to get more into <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> projects in 2025 and I'm big on using <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/prometheus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prometheus</span></a> <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeassistant</span></a> and <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/keda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keda</span></a> to accomplish those goals. I volunteer with <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nextcloud</span></a> (when I can) to help with their helm chart, and I also have a GitHub org called <a href="https://github.com/small-hack" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">small-hack</a> where I do a lot of FOSS work with <span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.smallhack.org/@cloudymax" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>cloudymax</span></a></span>! Always down to self host something new :heart_cyber:</p><p>My favorite language is <a href="https://social.smallhack.org/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> :python:</p><p>Ik spreek A1 Nederlands, maar ik wil A2 binnenkort. Oh, en mijn favoriet kleur is blauw. 💙 Leuk u te ontmoeten!</p>
