hi fedi i'm looking for a job now :3
looking for something anywhere in the metro vancouver (canada) area or remote from there

i've got a bunch of rust/python dev experience in various specific sections, mostly web (backend) with a little bit of embedded and various other things scattered about

i also run a bunch of stuff on linux servers so i've got a lot of experience there (including hosting/managing a bunch of selfhosted services and managing a few fedi servers)

or if nothing else i'd also be happy with any sort of IT job in general

if you or anyone else you know are looking for someone like me feel free to let me know or take a peek at my resume: https://niko.lgbt/assets/resume.pdf

@drwho@hackers.town @kkarhan@infosec.space i use nginx and a few if blocks (yes i'm aware if is evil but to the best of my knowledge if is the only way to get a boolean AND expression) set $redir_to_gz 1; if ($host = gz.niko.lgbt) { set $redir_to_gz 0; } if ($http_user_agent !~* (claudebot|ZoominfoBot|GPTBot|SeznamBot|DotBot|Amazonbot|DataForSeoBot|2ip|paloaltonetworks.com|SummalyBot|incestoma)) { set $redir_to_gz 0; } if ($redir_to_gz) { return 301 https://gz.niko.lgbt/ } as for the actual stuff behind gz.niko.lgbt server { # SSL and listen -- snipped # static files root /var/www/gz.niko.lgbt; location / { add_header Content-Encoding gzip; try_files /42.gz =404; gunzip off; types { text/html gz; } } # additional config -- snipped } gunzip off is very important because if the client doesn't support gzip encoding nginx will blow its foot off without that 42.gz is generated with dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=102400 | gzip -c - > 42.gz

@kkarhan@infosec.space may i also add i personally redirect these bots to gz.niko.lgbt which returns a innocent looking 100MB HTTP response with content-encoding: gzip that decompresses to 100GB and the only way to find out is to actually decompress it so if they want anything they gotta go through it
