I’m a tech founder and recovering SysAdmin. I helped found DevOps and grew up in open source. These days I am convalescing from a decade of physical and mental neglect while running Puppet.

I sometimes write about startups, founders, and other topics I like.

I am an angel investor, mostly in areas of expertise (infrastructure and dev tools) and interest (local first software and power tools).

I am generally default-accept on first conversations.

About me: Software Engineer network/cybersecurity, pilot/CFI, Libertarian, electronics, Ham, rocket/balloon tracker

Hi! I'm Ian Kluft. Follow me here to see posts from all my Mastodon accounts. Or follow directly by my topics of interest at @ikluft (aviation/science), @AstroHawk (space) or @KO6YQ (tech/local). I post in the account whose topic is closest to what I'm posting. I originally made this account for access to the big Mastodon instance's search.

Avatar is a selfie of me standing up, outside, with a neighborhood of palm trees and stucco houses behind me. I'm wearing light sunglasses, red lipstick, and a sleeveless shirt with a balloon animal print. Not shown: my walker. #IIH #IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension #fibromyalgia #disability #TransRights

Anti-DEI is white supremacy. Black lives matter. LGBT+ rights are human rights. Healthcare, security, a decent income, and housing with dignity are human rights. Abortion is healthcare. Science is our best hope as a species. Kindness and empathy are the noblest of human traits.
