Cyberus Technology | https://cyberus-technology.de | Software Engineer | REMOTE (Germany, Spain, Canada) | Full-time

Our mission is to build open-source digital infrastructure that stands the test of time. We engineer modular, transparent and reproducible software that “just works,” empowering organisations to run critical systems safely for decades.

Guided by science, data and a deep respect for democracy and human rights, we act as a trusted, family-friendly partner for both customers and teammates. We contribute actively to local, national and global open-source communities while continuously shrinking our environmental footprint. Lean processes, smart automation and sustainable profitability keep us independent—and ready to collaborate for the long run.

CtrlOS is our long-term supported downstream version of NixOS, and it’s a strategically important project for our organization. It forms the foundation for a wide range of customer solutions and internal systems. Building and maintaining CtrlOS is not only technically exciting — it’s also a rare opportunity to bring NixOS to a whole ecosystem of devices.

We’re looking for someone who brings energy, curiosity, and a strong drive to get things done. You don’t need to know everything — none of us do — but you should be excited to explore new territory, solve real problems, and help shape something meaningful.

Pretty cool use of Flakes, NixOS modules and integration tests. :-)

If I have the choice between traveling somewhere during daytime for a few hours or going overnight, I‘d choose overnight every time. Traveling during daytime always feels like wasted time to me, and it’s always a little bit exhausting. During the night I can sleep and arrive at my destination rested and ready to go.

Whichever for me was in 2010 when I set up Ubuntu for my grandma and put a Firefox shortcut on her desktop and she never had any issues with her computer again. Very simple use-case but it was a lot better served than by Windows Vista at the time. These days it’s even better served by an iPad though.

Power consumption sounds really good. Would be great to get this on a micro-ITX board with 4 SATA ports to replace my 10 year old home server. :-)

At least in Firefox you can restore a closed Tab with CTRL (or Cmd on Mac) + Shift + T.

Unfortunately nuclear power is by no means free from CO2. Especially if you need to build new plants, massive amounts of CO2 are released because of all the concrete that is needed.

Doing this for FreeBSD would be a great project. Unfortunately it is also big enough that we couldn’t afford to do it without some kind of funding.

Those are good questions. I don’t understand why you were downvoted.

To answer: We are offering service contracts and contract engineering services around virtualization, KVM and a couple of other topics.

The long term goal for this specific project is to support the security goals our customers have and to enable a couple of KVM features in Virtualbox as well. We plan to keep this updated with upstream Virtualbox and KVM.

Still living here I must point out that you are pointing an equally one sided picture.

While all of what you say is true and problematic, there are people from all over the world living in Dresden and some parts (especially Neustadt) are politically rather left leaning.

Yes, it works quite well. I’m using the NixOS module to configure it.

There’s also a great episode of 99% Invisible about the Sears houses.

> Maybe you could have a currency where if you don't use it, it diminishes.

Isn’t that what inflation is? Maybe at a lot slower scale, but the long-term effect is the same.

If you run NixOS you get a similar experience because it’s often just services.foo.enable = true; edit a couple options to your needs and you‘re good to go. :-)

I wonder if these keys are a thing in Czech? Or anywhere in Europe for that matter…

Interesting. I’m germany we love paper but amazon returns work without the need to print a label at home.

Then again faster travel often results in more sprawl, less dense neighborhoods and does not reduce average travel time very much.

I‘ve been doing exactly that for roughly 10 years and never had a problem with Gmail. You just have to set everything up to latest best practices (DKIM etc.). I‘ve even changed IP addresses a couple of times.

This is the situation in Germany for example. You need to keep many paper originals for 10 years. You can follow a process called „ersetzendes Scannen“ but I‘m not quite sure how that works.

For me I just scan everything and than put it in a binder with a label (like 2022-1) and put the same label on the digital document. This way I still have the document and will be able to find it if needed, but I don’t have to worry about where to put it. They all just go into the same binder until it is full.

Jumpcloud seems to work quite nicely.
