LinkedIn is annoying, yet remains parked in the management VLAN for lack of alternatives. Vutuv offers an open-source approach featuring ActivityPub and open exports. But is a technically superior profile model enough against the market power of the B2B top dog?
From hand-crafted servers to Infrastructure as Code and AI assistants: Why automation eliminates manual chores while making Linux systems engineering more demanding.
Professional profile & portfolio of Sebastian Palencsár. Focused on High-Availability, Bare-Metal Infrastructure, IaC, and pragmatic system design.
