It seems the time has come, huh.

@nina_kali_nina Proxmox are currently hiring. It looks like most of it is onsite in Austria but you could try an unsolicited application anyway.

@nina_kali_nina

The company I work for usually has SRE openings. I see one in Santa Barbara, but sometimes there's an advantage being in a different timezone for support. Could try applying anyway

@nina_kali_nina

Ah no :(

Hope you find something good soon.

@nina_kali_nina too bad there's basically no market for knowing how to make windows 2.0 drivers...

I know, I've looked! 😀

[owent@mastodon.social]

@nina_kali_nina none of these are directly my team, but throw a look at https://careers.godaddy/jobs/search?page=1&query=&country_codes%5B%5D=GB

- and good luck!

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@nina_kali_nina senior, ready to eat

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@hp ikr... Maybe I should consider creating such a market

[demoographics@wikis.world]

@nina_kali_nina We have some maybe-suitable roles open ATM - https://wikimediafoundation.org/jobs/#section-8

As a non-profit, it's not the same $$$ as places like Meta, but we do worthwhile work.

[if you have questions about WMF as a place to work, happy to (try and) answer them :) ]

@nina_kali_nina I have this ongoing fantasy that one day I'll start like "Old Crone Tech" and consult for companies that have software or hardware from ye olden times and help them move it.

Decompiling old programs, extending dosbox/etc to deal with weird peripherals, write modern drivers for old peripherals, things like that.

You'd think that there's a market for that kind of thing? But how would you even start...

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@f4grx hey, I'm still employed, actually :) But, uhh, yeah...

[pheedbackphil@mastodon.social]

@nina_kali_nina ISTR BBC.co.uk were hiring recently…

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@hp if there is market for that, then it's either retro-enthusiasts or big factories still operating their Super Important Conveyor from an IBM PC 5150-based SCADA...

[alkoclick@hachyderm.io]

@nina_kali_nina Not my job posting but I run into this today, it's open source, related to a good project (Immich), the only catch is that your paycheck comes from FUTO (you can look them up, they've done some questionable decisions in the past): https://futo.org/jobs/senior-engineer/

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@alkoclick yeah, I'd rather not work with FUTO :<

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@pheedbackPhil they are, but it's onsite, they pay peanuts, and it's the BBC, which makes me so sad I added it to my firewall rules...

[hp@mastodon.tmm.cx]

@nina_kali_nina maybe there's enough of them to support a group of retro nerds...

@nina_kali_nina #BoycottAI

[alkoclick@hachyderm.io]

@nina_kali_nina Was my conclusion too tbh

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@nina_kali_nina oh! I did not deduce that from your message! Sorry!

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@alkoclick thanks for sharing, though!
