I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.

I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.

I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.

Hey Fediverse! I just set up a #MarkovBabbler for the #Snipette website and it was very fun so if you want to do something to fight scraper-bots I'm open to setting up a #MarkovBabbler for your website too. Consider this a mini #FediHire ✨

🪴 I'll set up #Nepenthes or something similar of your choice on your existing server, but customise it so it kind of looks like your website and can provide human visitors with a bit of entertainment. I don't know tooo much of its inner workings but I'm a quick learner and am also adept at styling/templating/picking up your website's vibes

✋ I'll assume you're already aware of the consequences of such tools and how effective (or not) they are (but feel free to ask!).

💰 You can pay me $0 to $50 whatever works, of course the more the better! (Also, you probably know this but all these tools are available for free if you'd rather DIY it)

🎧 One volunteer with an account is US Dollars or similar (first come first served, but preference to those I follow) can collect the payments on my behalf and use it to buy me a #Tangara which is also programmed with #Lua same as #Nepenthes

⏳ Offer valid till I get a Tangara (or maybe even after? Let's see!)

My employer has just announced the removal of all hybrid work so here goes. If you/your org is in need of an early career developer with professional experience in #php, #cSharp, and #react, I’m your guy! Non-professionally, I also have experience working with #rust, #lua, and #nix (individually). I can pick up new concepts fairly quickly and I’d say I communicate very well. I’ve worked as a developer for 2.5 years and before that I was in IT for about the same amount of time. Do your thing fedi #getFediHired

This week I am positively chuffed about evolving hackable platforms.

I've been grooving on writing #lua to integrate the various cogs and gears of Neovim's rich ecosystem of software development tools, and it's reminded me of just how much I love feeling like I'm playing with incredibly powerful LEGOs, carefully choosing the ons I want, then stacking and connecting them, ultimately building something powerful and beautiful.

The key is everyone agreeing upon protocols so everything can be pieced together easily.

And when I say 'evolution' I mean actually being able to build upon those protocols and agreements up the stack in ways that bring value to end users.

Language servers are a great example. There is a ton of missing connective tissue to help developers actually leverage LSP features, but the @neovim core team is working hard on filling that gap.

The vim.lsp.config features added in 0.11 are a great example of this. They make LSP configuration vastly easier.

I've been building some of same said connective tissue in my own configuration, and maybe I can contribute some of that upstream to Neovim core.

Anyway, enough gushing :)

I want an #RSS reader where I can write filters in Lua, or some similarly powerful language. Filter based on criteria that combine the day of the week something came in, the title, the feed, what phase the moon is (you can calculate this), the number of vowels in the first paragraph, anything. Does anyone know of anything like this, or will I have to do it myself? #programming #AskFedi #lua

I have a MediaWiki question!

I frequently find myself needing to do the following:
a)Add a page to Category X, where X is dependent on a parameter
b)Add Category X to Category Y, where Y is dependent on the same parameter as part (a)
c)Add Category X to Category Z, which is not dependent on a parameter.

I can automate the first step using a simple template that contains
[[Category:Something with my parameter]], but I want help automating the next two steps.

I realize I'm maybe being a bit vague, so let me clarify with a concrete example (the example that inspired this question).

When
@comicsbyxan published Chapter 11 of Pandora's Tale, I made the corresponding wiki article. The chapter was the first appearance of new character Amelia, so I wanted to
* List in the chapter article that it was the first appearance of Amelia.
* Include the chapter article in
Category:Amelia appearances
* Include
Category:Amelia appearances in Category:Amelia
* Include
Category:Amelia appearances in Category:Chapters by character appearances

The first two bullet points I can do simultaneously,
thanks to the simple "appearances" template.. I just add

{a|Amelia}
To the article on Chapter 11. But I have to do the third and fourth bullet point manually. While that's not a big deal to do once, I have to do it for every new character Xan adds to the comic. Chapter 10 introduced nine new characters at once, so I had to do it nine times.

Is there a way to soup up my {a} template so that when I type, for example,
{a|Example New Character}, it automatically creates a page for Category:Example New Character appearances and includes it in both Category:Example New Character and Category:Chapters by character appearances ? Is this the kind of thing I should to learn Lua Modules for or is there a way to do it purely with wiki markup?

Recent Keylogger Attributed to North Korean Group Andariel

A new keylogger, attributed to the North Korean group Andariel (APT45), has been linked to targeted attacks against U.S. organizations. The malware captures keystrokes and mouse activity, storing data in an encrypted archive. It employs anti-analysis techniques like code obfuscation through junk code. The keylogger sets global Windows hooks to intercept keystrokes and mouse events, modifies registry for persistence, and creates a password-protected archive in the temp folder. It uses SetWindowsHookEx API for keyboard and mouse event monitoring, and GetMessageW API for message queue handling. The malware also steals clipboard data and logs special key presses. Hybrid Analysis effectively identified the keylogger's capabilities, persistence mechanism, and log file creation, providing valuable insights for threat analysis.

Still playing with the idea of building a game with Lua/Love and struggling with the lack of types. I've just become so used to using them that going back to not having them feels really awkward and sloppy. There are variants of Lua like Teal and Pluto that do give us types, but if there's a pleasant way to get them to play nice with Love, I'm not smart enough to figure it out yet.
