Nina Kalinina

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt

This profile is not managed by Terraform.

Or, as my "professional" email signature says, "IT expert and mixed media artificer".

A late millennial, yet I grew up with a ZX Spectrum and used an i486 as my main PC well into 00s.

I have a degree in electrical engineering, majored in industrial and microelectronics, but somehow ended up building massively distributed computer systems. SCADA with sensors scattered across hundreds of miles, L7 balancing for millions of users, corporate video call infrastructure, helping to delete ~petabyte of data a day, and until recently keeping the lights on for a major cloud provider. I learned a lot during my long-ish career, and this knowledge makes me sad and keeps me up at night sometimes.

I never post here in a "working adult" capacity, and wouldn't dare to speak for my current or past employers. Instead, I engage in playful shitpost and creative exploration of technologies that have no commercial applications.

Feel free to DM me, I'll try to reply to all!

It's pretty incredible to be an adult. For example, every other week I leave the house after midnight.

Not because I want to, but because I have to put the trash out, and I keep forgetting about it or postponing it until the very last moment. Well, technically, "the very last moment" would be early morning, but - pretty incredibly for an adult - I refuse to wake up early in the morning unless there's _a journey_ waiting for me

I am writing a script, and my pen ran out of ink when I was writing "losing hope". Brutal

Me on fedi, a while ago: "aaah my parents - who live far far away - still run Windows 7"
People on fedi, a while ago: "Why wouldn't you install Linux for them and manage it remotely"
Back then, my reply was: "well, the connection is very unreliable there"
Well, what would you know, it's very reliable now. Even phone calls and SMS between us aren't working anymore.

When I first watched War Games (1983) I thought "wow, so weird, not only they had terrible password management, but their test 'AI' system was directly linked to the prod".

Ha-ha. :blobcat_thisisfine:
