    I’m currently combining a data protection improvement project with security audits of multiple small to medium charities and we’re also rebuilding our home (a solar powered fossil fuel free widebeam boat). It’s exhausting. I’m also struck by how lack of key skills in some many sectors increases cost and risk!

      Don’t know much about boats or boat-building but that sounds pretty cool. You’re building it completely from “scratch” or starting with a base boat of some kind?

        We stripped it back to the hull as there were so many issues with the original fit out. The hull was largely fine, we needed a vent hole too close to the waterline closed and a beam where the weld had popped welded, and then it was re-treating the bilge with Lanoguard to prevent rusting, then building from there. The floor is in (using recycled plastic lumber and sheets) first fit electrics hopefully in the next two weeks. It’s a journey :D

    A web front end for OpenSMTPd. It’s an off/on - mostly off - project.

    It’s written in Ruby On Rails and runs on OpenBSD.

    It’s a very simple project really - three tables: domains, credentials and virtuals. Ensuring the security of it and writing tests to cover the models, controllers and that everything flows as it should is taking the time and effort. I’m enjoying it!!

        It is. The extra stuff bundled in Rails makes web development enjoyable. Ruby allows me to code without thinking too much, it just seems to flow.

    Currently I’m working on a full lemmy migration, looking around and figuring out how to access everything.

    For some reason the usual search method isn’t working to let me view most communities here with my blahaj account, but I can see them publicly, and I can access everything from an alt infosec account I made.

    Currently I’m in the gathering and planning phase of my cybersecurity venture in my career.I’ve spent most of my working life in kitchens, but I’ve always been a triple boot style power user. I recently got a Google IT Support Cert to try to help me get my foot into the door and open up my horizons to a better more engaging career.

    Non-technical: Just shipped off a mead for a competition so today will be planning for the next batch.

    Technical: Side project web application browser puzzle/word game. First time developing something in node.js so it has become an interesting adventure in learning.
