aqtrans··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2025)
Location: Austin Texas

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Linux, Golang, Postgres, AWS, nginx, git, HTML, Ansible, Caddy, metrics and monitoring, service reliability, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana

Résumé/CV: https://jba.io/resume.pdf

Email: me@jba.io

I'm a Linux admin/engineer, with some hardware experience in my prior job. Lots of general Linux, Solaris, and UNIX experience; patching, upgrading, replacing OS, hardware, and applications.

Starting in 2014 I've gotten into Golang, building a wiki, Nagios-type monitoring system, and other programs, so I'd love to branch out from the OS engineering and administration side.

All my Golang programs can be found at https://github.com/aqtrans

aqtrans··on All Sonos products will continue to work past May
That would be the perfect solution, even if the upgrade boards came at some kind of premium for those of us who aren't into yearly TV upgrades.

For what it's worth regarding CBS All Access: If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can subscribe to the CBS All Access 'channel' in Prime Video, and use the Prime Video app to watch those shows.

I'm in the same exact TV situation, had to find this workaround to catch Star Trek Discovery, really lame.

aqtrans··on Digg Reader is planning to shut down on March 26
After trying a few of the others after Google Reader shut down, I settled on https://tt-rss.org/. It has an official Android client and quite a few iOS clients as well.
aqtrans··on AMD responds to Linux kernel maintainer's rejection of AMDGPU patch
Ahh, thanks for pointing those out. I completely skipped over those portions...I was expecting some Linus-level chewing out that I'd missed given the tone of the response, haha.

Certainly pretty mild considering the source, though I understand why the second quote would stir things up a bit, especially making it into an "Us vs Them" situation.

aqtrans··on AMD responds to Linux kernel maintainer's rejection of AMDGPU patch
Did I miss the mud-slinging and corporate culture bashing from the original rejection? I can get the AMD dev being a bit sour by the whole situation if they personally spent time working on this rejected patch, but damn.
aqtrans··on Tim Sweeney: Microsoft wants to monopolise games development on PC
What I think is weird is it seems like just a few years ago, Microsoft was embracing Steam. They released (or rather, allowed some team to port and publish) remasters of Rise of Nations and Age of Empires II on Steam, with some really great Steam integration too.

Guess that was before someone at Microsoft came up with this UWP idea and somehow roped gaming into it.

aqtrans··on Visual Studio Code for Go
I've found myself always coming back to VSCode for my (stupid simple, nothing crazy like Docker or anything) Go projects. They've really done a fine job with the editor and extensions. Bravo Microsoft!
aqtrans··on Linode Security Advisory
Yeah, they really gloss over the fact they have no idea how the TOTP secret key was compromised, which worries me the most.
aqtrans··on Security Notification and Linode Manager Password Reset
Yikes...This comment has me seriously thinking about moving my VPS elsewhere. Thanks for spreading this information, this is definitely good to know.
