Three countries. One warning.
The UK, Canada, and Australia are all showing signs of managed decline — where rising housing costs, gutted industries, and overloaded infrastructure are pushing societies to the brink.
This video explores how the same political choices have led to collapsing systems, and why Australia is next.

#Trump is proposing to cut, by $2.4B, a program that offers low-cost financing for #WaterQuality projects, targeting the largest source of federal funds for #DrinkingWater utilities, #sewage treatment plants & other #infrastructure like #water #pipes.

The program had gotten a major boost under #Biden’s #infrastructure #law. But Trump claims the money was “heavily earmarked by the #Congress for projects that are ultimately not repaid into the program, & bypass states’ interest & planning.”

#Trump’s #budget requests $13.8B for the #FAA, an increase of $359M, w/much of it intended to addressing the national shortage of air traffic controllers [that’s new].

The budget outlines a $5B investment to upgrade the #infrastructure of the national #airspace system, including a proposed increase of $824M for the year. This includes a $450M initial investment toward a multiyear, multi-billion-dollar #radar replacement initiative.

#hiring update:

Vážení,
pořád sháním 2 devopsáky:

1. anglicky hovořící seniorního Devopsáka na pozici "Azure Architect" na full #remote klientský projekt.
Azure DevOps jako takový tam není, mají Gitlab CICD.
ASAP, of course :)

2. seniorní "Devops a Infra Specialist" do interního týmu, hybrid #Praha, leadership skills vítány.
Je to DevOps role rozkročená mezi team leaderem, kontzultantem a cloud architektem.
Chceme vybrat dobře, ne rychle.

Further bad news for the environment, possibly if the recycling of the toxic batteries can be dominated.

Also, bad news for #Tesla and the #HumanWreckingBall, #ElonMusk, who's having the week he deserves and should be having every week. Cheers!

This is a beautiful time lapse. Kind of makes me miss doing work inside a data center. 😊

The plan for his #DOGE was mapped out in a series of closely held meetings in Palm Beach, FL, & through early #intelligence-gathering efforts in Washington.

Without ceding control of his companies, the richest man in the world has embedded his engineers & aides inside the government’s critical #digital #infrastructure, moving with a swiftness that has stunned #CivilServants.

Inaccessible cycling racks were the last straw that catalyzed the formation of UC Access Now.

It was very difficult getting non-disabled anti-ableists who cycled to use our campaign tool to press UC decisionmakers about the issue!

These cycle racks were installed without consultation with us, but in response to our hard-fought campaign.

We told abled cyclists all along that accessible racks benefit you too! Most rack designs & installations throughout UC do not take upright bikes with trailers, bakfiets, cargo bikes, trikes, etc into consideration at all.

And this is an upright bike towing a trailer parked at the racks installed as a result of our activism. #UCAccessNow #CycleParkingAudit #Infrastructure #Ableism @fedibikes @disability

What are all the kool kids using for infrastructure automation these days? Ansible, puppet, terraform, something else?

Only really interested in foss/floss solutions. The less 'corporate' the better.

I'm looking for work!

I'm a high-level infra and devops engineer and team lead.

I've previously run my own team, and previously worked at Mozilla and Facebook.

I'm looking for infra/devops lead or senior infra/devops engineer positions.

I'm not looking for pure development positions, but writing scripts, glue, and things like CI - as demanded by infra/devops - are totally fine. I just don't want to be developing the product.

The one thing I can't budge on is that I am exclusively looking for 100% remote positions, due to physical disability.

My CV is available at cv.dave.io. I am available to start immediately.

The CV is a Notion page and can be cloned directly into your workspace if you use Notion.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions, and all leads are graciously appreciated. Drop me a public or private mention, or use the other contact details listed on my CV.

That's about it. You are very welcome to boost this post, with my thanks.
