Ever been to an event where you felt more like a face in a crowd than a valued human? Yeah, me too. And after a while, I started craving something more.

That's why I'm making a change in how I bring people together.

If you're ready for events that prioritize genuine connection over endless handshakes, keep reading...

TLDR: I'm moving my events to Luma and I'd love for you to join me there (thread reply following for reasons why)

A charming anime-style illustration depicts a group of diverse young women, each with distinct hairstyles and bright, cheerful expressions, gathered around a richly decorated table laden with tempting pastries and steaming teacups. The soft lighting bathes the scene in a warm, inviting glow, creating a serene and friendly atmosphere. The scene exudes an air of warmth and connection, emphasizing the genuine friendship between the girls, with laughter and gentle conversation subtly filling the space. The girls have a wide range of skin tones and hair colors. A few of the girls have their hair styled in pigtails, and one girl has a flower crown in her hair. This visual narrative perfectly captures the essence of cherished moments shared among friends, highlighting that genuine connections hold far more value than mere quantity

Just got an email from a women-in-cyber org, advertising jobs at Meta.

Zuckerberg's, " more masculine energy in tech" Meta.

You've got to be kidding.

It's becoming very clear that too many US cyber organisations are never going to pick a side. Or not the side of the people, in any case.

This #WITDay, we're celebrating Martine Postma. She's the activist and former journalist who started the Repair Café movement.

“I wanted to do more than just write about it,” Postma says. “More and more people don’t feel good about our throw-away society and are ready for change. [They] don’t throw away because they want to, but because they don’t know what else to do.”

Sometimes being an open-source maintainer is nice. I haven't done paid consulting for the GNUstep Objective-C Runtime for ages (I wasn't doing enough for it to be worth the tax effort and I'm not always able to commit to doing things in a sufficiently timely fashion to set up the expectations that being paid creates), so I added a note a while ago telling people to donate to Murray Edwards if they find the project useful.

Last week, I got the following email from the nice folks at Algoriddim saying (abridged):

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we appreciate your continued work on the GNUstep runtime, and that we’ve made another donation to Murray Edwards to support women in computer science.

Always nice to see things being paid forwards.

💻 Hello Old Friend, Talos II 💻

This was my first IBM POWER9 system, acquired in 2020 and built for home/desk use. Dual socket SMT4 Sforza, 144 threads, 256-512GB RAM, various storage/net/accelerators over the years. [1]

As expected, I fell in love and acquired four IBM Power System L922-2U [2], which are presently in the colo awaiting network rebuild (remote hands this time).

The Talos II has served a variety of purposes, with most of its time running FreeBSD PPC64le (&a bit of PPC64be for fun). Sometimes also Linux, back when I was tearing into qemu code for compiler optimization hypothesis testing, RTX GPU passthrough, +validating assumptions about qemu on P9/le handling amd64 & arm64 emulation.

So, out of storage! Into the rack! New user accounts! But first it needs updated OS drives (the 3x 64GB SATADOM in Raid-Z1 need to be repurposed), and a NIC (25G-DP CX-5 or X710-DA4).

A front view from one of Eva's "HomeLab spill-over into the colo"... server racks, with a pink overlay box indicating the location of three IBM LC-922 Power9 systems. Above those are various Dell PowerEdge servers and an Arista DCS-7060CX-32S switch (ports facing rear). Located at the base of the rack is an APC UPS and APC ATS, handling automated failover of facility / battery power sources for casually "some-9s of uptime" high-availability compliance.

it's funny because it's not just a cartoon making a point, but very literally the majority of every interview I've had in tech sectors. There have been some stand-outs, very few and very far between.

nearly as often I've had their type tell me that my experience surely couldn't be this way, simply because they've never considered life from another's shoes. well, surely they must be right, right?

after some time one gets used to the layers of self-censorship, of maintaining a type of professionalism and expressive-pefection and poise so consistently that it becomes not second nature but a long-forgotten absorbed rule of existing once inside the corporate doors.

since the diagnosis I've let down a lot of those walls, those perfections, just to see how life would be. it did not make life easier, that can be said politely.

A woman in white sits alone on a chair, poised and professional, in front of a panel of men in suits, most of whom are slacking in one way or another. An aptly poignent caption at the bottom of the panel says, "Describe what you can bring to the company." -- resonating with so many in STEM who exist solely as the only woman in a workforce specialization dominated not by merit or experience - but of one's sex.

#WirSindInformatikerinnen Heute übernimmt die Fachgruppe Frauen und Informatik die Kanäle der GI. 🙌

Bereits seit 1986 setzen wir uns innerhalb der GI und darüber hinaus für eine diversere Informatik ein, etwa indem wir:

💛 uns im GI-Präsidium einbringen

💛 Veranstaltungen und Austauschformate wie unsere Jahrestagung organisieren

💛 unser Magazin „Frauen machen Informatik” herausgeben

💛 auf Events präsent sind (z.B. @republica, #INFORMATIK25)

Gruppenbild von einem Treffen der Fachgruppe: In einem Treppenhaus haben sich ca. 30 Frauen aus der Informatik-Community versammelt. Sie tragen blaue Bändchen und lächeln.
