About commercialnix

I am a part of a team that provides expertise managing fleets of user endpoints and also servers/cloud for large commercial environments. On this site I occasionally share an in-the-trenches perspective of expertise-driven use of open source in commercial environments.

Due to unethical mafioso tactics of some of the "big tech" companies, commercial entities are not named.

    Knockknock was one of my favorite things back in the day. I love Moxie's mindset. Nowadays I put Wireguard in front of everything.

    You already posted one of the dumbest things ever posted on this site. "no u" isn't going to change that.

    SpaceX values meritocracy first and foremost. Boeing, not so much. One of these companies has a very bright future.

    I write fullstack web applications in Rust, client-side too with a shim for interfacing with some JS for the DOM. So, I can agree with you in the abstract, but I'm gonna have to se…

    I'll gladly finance at 4x the cost (so like around $5,000) to purchase an alternative Pixel for a fully open source bootloader with physically compartmentalized chips with open int…

    If you can post another contact other than LinkedIn, maybe Matrix or SimpleX, that'd be great.

    The more important thing is that I don't have to be. Multi-Sig is still far less risky, complicated, and/or costly than the capriciousness or really -- let's just call it what it i…
