I’m Chris, the web developer who likes to say random stuff ✨

At work I'm a web developer currently using Linux, but I'll getting a company laptop and I'll be forced onto Windows. As many know, that OS is a privacy nightmare and full of bugs, right now I'm thinking about going freelance in the near future, I'm thinking about getting into managing Kubernetes, I heard the pay is quite good. 😊

I’ll take a little break, anyway here a doggy! 🐢

For those in the UK & EU, use SimpleX Chat (or anything similar) instead of convenient messengers services, anything that is convenient is shoot to kill by the government 😁

Just found out that I can't undo my own reaction to posts. πŸ˜…

Two useful tools for file transfer over WAN between two machine

For file encryption

For file transfer peer-to-peer (WebRTC) no file size limit

I’m autistic one thing I’m not a fan of and that is political correctness, thinking about that, makes me feel jaded! πŸ˜”

The Island of where I live, I didn’t create the video btw https://youtu.be/7OvAwOLg5kE

As soon as the platform introduces age verification or censorship, the novelty wear off quite quickly and I think that what happened to many centralised social media! The smarted of people including criminals will not submit ID!

What are the governments hoping to archived from this?

I had to stop using cloud storage, nowadays I use external storage with encryption and is turned off 99% of the time so it can’t be easily accessed by bad actors!

As long as criminals are adaptive to change, they are not going to stop! Simple as that!

I left the UK, because I wanted the government to leave me alone, not much for a tax payer to ask for IMHO!

I’m currently in the process of buying a property, so I’ll be quiet for a little while!

Dealing with legacy PHP code is a nightmare, I sometimes get emotional burn out, not fun at all. πŸ˜”

Because of technical debt my company is quite stuck on the legacy version of PHP, I’m sorry but it just awful programming language, an awful tool that I have to use at work and I think it worse than modern JavaScript πŸ˜…

I manage to build a reactive site with htmx, that was easy!

As a Rust user, I never bother arguing with a hardcore JavaScript, it only backfires πŸ˜‚

I got confirmation from Kraken, Jersey are no longer allowed to withdraw Monero (XMR) but thank goodness for swappers 😁

To stop Monero is to stop all crypto currencies, not going to happen anytime soon! πŸ˜‚

They made it as inconvenient as paying for a postage stamp, which chump change to the vast majority, great plan UK government 😁

Most politicians don’t know a thing or two about IT, they are quite thick πŸ˜‚

I like my Thai food πŸ˜‹

I built a simple desktop/mobile application as an exercise with Dioxus framework in Rust, it really nice to work with! πŸ™‚ https://github.com/CJ-Jackson/animal_api_again

By accident I found out MacOS comes bundled with SQLite3 πŸ˜„

If the site ask for ID, I wouldn’t sign up, it just not worth it! πŸ™‚
