@freeweb hello 🙂
So - I'm going to assume that AFFG haven't made it over here yet and I'm going to air my concerns about Friday - in a hopefully safe space.
I have no problems with the vigil for democracy happening - I think it is a good idea, but I am terrified that it's going to be infiltrated by rent-a-mob and will result in violence - which will be splashed across the papers and TV as "nats are a disgrace to Scotland" or something.
Does anyone share these concerns?
Is #ScotlandStartsHere running over here on mastodon too?
A quick note for #TwitterExodusScotland it's not what you want to hear if you are hoping for a referendum this year. BUT - if we are left looking for legal options to force a Section 30. It looks like the Belfast Agreement has the period defined as SEVEN years. Meaning we could legitimately argue that Belfast Agreement has a defined period. SEVEN years will of course be 2021.
Page 5, Section 3.
Hmmmm have AFFG just paid people to stand there for the counter protest? Because.... spot the hat. #AUOBGlasgow
Have to say - surprised that other than @Yes2020 there is very little #AUOBGlasgow content on our new social media platform today!
So, we've recorded an 84.7mph gust and an 84.3mph gust already - and the warning doesn't even start until 3am....

Job Hunting, Boost+
Hey I have no idea if any of y'all have contacts that could help, but I'm really looking for job opportunities in Austin, TX!
I can work remotely and I am willing to move and travel!
Quick bio: I have a year's work experience doing test automation and working in the public sector. Details can be given via DM. I've got a Comp. Sci. Bachelor's degree from TAMU and I have plenty of experience in DevOps/DevSecOps/GitOps and general development using version control. I also maintain a lot of stuff on some personal servers! I'm perfectly fine staying in the QA field, but I'm open to other opportunities if they're available.

Right, bird site is a terrifying place right now. I'm shutting out the world because my anxiety can't take the stuff that is escalating in the real world.
Please could I ask that people who are posting stuff about war, hide it behind a Content Warning because some of us - are going to be in the fetus position watching cartoons and pretending everything is going to be fine.....
Thanks.

So - I slept for a few hours, got woken up and ARGH! there must have been a power blip overnight. pfSense was down, complaining it wanted interfaces reassigning. XenServer down - which meant Unifi down.... 3 hours I have been running around trying to fix the network and get the internet back.
Hey weather - go away and leave me alone.
Also - the heating got upset by the power blip, so the house is cold.
Sustained brute force on SMTP since December 22. I'm blocking the entire 4Vendeta network 78.128.113.0/24 since the first attempts came from 78.128.113.171 and each time Fail2Ban has kicked in, the attempts come from the next IP in the sequence.
For what it's worth - DigitalOcean NL and Asia are not far behind being blocked either.
