    Hi! I hope you are all doing well. This is just a quick introduction! I'm a Senior Cloud Consultant for a multinational corporation. First UNIX systems for me were SunOS, IRIX and AIX back in the day. I moved over to Linux very shortly in the late-90s and then OpenBSD. Around 2001 I moved over to FreeBSD and stayed. I use FreeBSD on all my servers and I used FreeBSD as a primary desktop at work from 2009 to 2013. I'm getting back into FreeBSD after a bit of a hiatus, let's see where it takes me. Kind regards....

    It would be nice if... Configurable for the instance the user (i.e., me) belong to. Automagically converted the URL to use the above, and if the account of the link target is outside the configured instance, convert to double "@" form. For example, I imagine if anyone belonging to @bsd.cafe pastes some URL from the tab that mastodon client is running, it would be something like ``` https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@User/11111 and if anyone belonging to @bsd.netowork attempts to open the toot via the link, converted to https://mastodon.bsd.netowork/@User@bsd.cafe/11111 with input to indicate the conversion is wanted or not on click. Maybe annoying to implement, though.

    Stating the obvious: there'll always be work within professions such as plumbing, carpentry, and building. Hands-on building. Hands-off building, with code as a virtual construction material: there's no obvious niche. I would not know where to start, or finish. I should optimtimistally assume that the vast majority of niches will be short-lived, compared to the lifetime of a human. I'm not a developer, but over the years I have thrown (or crowbarred) myself into various niches. Chandler was my favourite. I knew that development had ceased, but it was the best tool for the purpose at the time. Good luck!
