Re: Strategy for moving off big tech

[R. Anthony Lomartire]

I was actually just writing up a guide for this. I use Firefox for my
browser, but I make extensive use of the multi-account containers and the
container proxy plugins. I have several proxies set up, one over my own
private VPN and one over Mullvad VPN (who I also recommend). Both using
Wireguard which is a great protocol. The container proxy addon lets you
select which containers use which proxy/VPN or to connect directly which
makes it easy to manage when you do want to connect to some services
directly (for banking where VPN can sometimes cause issues, etc). I also
highly recommend the Cookie Auto-delete addon to clean up cookies from your
default container. KeePassXC and the Firefox addon also make it easy to
manage your passwords without relying on a third party service. Riseup
offers email services, along with XMPP services. I mainly use IRC and XMPP
for chat, along with Signal for SMS. I'm also a big fan of the Matrix
protocol but I don't find as many people using it quite yet. For server
hosting, there are so many options, but I've been relatively happy with
Hetzner, their server auctions have some great deals, although most of
their servers are in Europe so you might not get the best ping if you're
trying to stream video.

Sorry for this messy paragraph, this was just off the top of my head, but
please feel free to reach out if you'd like any further details.

COBOL on HPUX

[R. Anthony Lomartire]

So I recently landed a job working in COBOL on HP-UX. It's been a trip!
This stuff is from before my time but it's been really interesting to
learn. Have any of you folks worked with this stuff? We're looking to
migrate away eventually, maybe anyone with experience there? I'd love to
hear any stories about COBOL or old enterprise mainframe applications
you've worked with. We're probably going to be hiring soon too if anyone
would be interested in a similar gig. :)

Re: Need advice on domain management and transfer

My 2 cents -- I use domain.com and they've been as good as a domain
registrar could be I suppose.

Hello and Ad Tech

[R. Anthony Lomartire]

Hey guys,

Apologies for hijacking the other thread to introduce myself. I just wanted
to say hello and got a bit carried away. I haven't really participated in a
mailing list beyond lurking.

I'm from the seacoast area and work in Portsmouth. I know it is not
particularly Linux-related but I work in ad tech which I've found to
actually be quite interesting. Especially recently, I've been trying to
learn more about the industry as a whole by staying up to date on industry
news. A company, adToken, just released yesterday an Ethereum based
whitelist solution for validating publishers. I started reading up on
Ethereum and smart contracts and DApps, sounds kind of interesting and I
may start playing around with that.

We run a cluster of Gentoo boxes for our web and DB servers. Gentoo is my
first Linux love. I was lucky enough to have a friend who was well versed
in the Linux world back in high school, and he got me started by diving
deep right into a fresh Gentoo install. Nowadays I prefer Arch. Most of my
work recently has been on macOS however as my work is an Apple based shop,
but I still have a handy Arch VM on here :)

Any of you guys have any experience with ad tech, or the advertising
industry in general?

Beyond that I've also been very interested in Go lately. I've reworked my
personal web site from NodeJS to Go and more recently I've been working on
a prototype of some of our backend processes, moving them over from PHP.

Anyways, just wanted to say hello to my fellow NH Linux users, thanks for
reading!
