@nina_kali_nina I have this ongoing fantasy that one day I'll start like "Old Crone Tech" and consult for companies that have software or hardware from ye olden times and help them move it.
Decompiling old programs, extending dosbox/etc to deal with weird peripherals, write modern drivers for old peripherals, things like that.
You'd think that there's a market for that kind of thing? But how would you even start...
@hp if there is market for that, then it's either retro-enthusiasts or big factories still operating their Super Important Conveyor from an IBM PC 5150-based SCADA...

It seems the time has come, huh. Is anyone looking for a senior SRE with deep Linux expertise and experience with infrastructure at massive scales (ex-Meta, ex-Apple)? UK, remote (happy to visit the office anywhere in the UK every month or so). I prefer working on the automation, CI/CD, load testing, or low level debugging. However, I will not work on anything related to generative AI.
#getfedihired@nina_kali_nina Not my job posting but I run into this today, it's open source, related to a good project (Immich), the only catch is that your paycheck comes from FUTO (you can look them up, they've done some questionable decisions in the past): https://futo.org/jobs/senior-engineer/

@alkoclick yeah, I'd rather not work with FUTO :<

@nina_kali_nina ISTR BBC.co.uk were hiring recently…
@pheedbackPhil they are, but it's onsite, they pay peanuts, and it's the BBC, which makes me so sad I added it to my firewall rules...

@nina_kali_nina maybe there's enough of them to support a group of retro nerds...

You might want to reach out to formula one teams that need to use rather old tech to keep their historic early 90s cars running. I read Williams has someone who buys up specific models of solid state drives from 1991/92 for their 1992 car to keep it going at heritage events.

#getfedihired@nina_kali_nina Oh no, hope you find something soon. Afraid we have no SRE jobs for your level (only junior https://smartnumbers.jobs.personio.com/ ), and there’s an expectation of 2 days/week in the office.
