I used macOS from 2020 to 2025, switching to the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> neon distro (KDE plasma is amazing and KDE isn't bloated anymore, yay!).</p><p>My current career is as a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/pentester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pentester</span></a> where I break into web applications, IP networks, mobile applications (especially <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a>), and people to their face or over the phone; code <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>malware</span></a>; write documentation; and enjoy helping clients in a third party contractor/consultant role.

Burnout was very real and I was extremely bored/unfulfilled. </p><p>Now that programming and sysadmin stuff isn't my career, I find I enjoy programming and tinkering again.</p><p>I am a big fan of NetBSD and always have been. I am not a huge fan of GNU/Linux but I do appreciate things "just working", even if it is full of closed-source binary blobs and other garbage.
