A Controversial Takeaway:
If cloud vendors really cared about your mission, they’d let you leave without a ransom. Non-profits aren’t tech labs. Your impact dies when you fund Azure’s ski trips instead of village networks.

Hi fedi folx. I was laid off just before the start of the year. This is a reach out for support, not in the monetary way but in an information and connections way.
I'm wanting to use this as an opportunity to work for organizations who's values I can support. I am looking for a remote role, working with a nonprofit.
I'm a chronically ill trans person in the US. A sys admin with 5 years experience, mostly in the windows ecosystem with some moderate Linux experience. I have done some containerization and virtualization. I love to improve systems, processes and security.

I normally don't post about my day job here, but I want to share an interesting opportunity for new grads in software engineering. My team at work will be hiring an intern for a year-long program starting in 2026. This is for new or recent graduates of a bachelor's degree. Applications are open NOW through January 12, 2026.
The program is built around mentorship and building experience with an aim to help some of the many students left behind by the increasing job requirements for a decreasing number of entry-level jobs in our industry.
We're a scientific non-profit organization and we love to see job candidates who are passionate about using their software engineering skills to help scientific and medical research, but no prior lab/medicine/bio/neuro/etc experience or education is required.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, reach out to me or see more details and apply here: https://alleninstitute.org/careers/internships/?jobId=596702BA-990A-D918-3EB0-09214C9FF809
