👋 Hi, I’m Kevin — Founder & Lead IT Specialist at FOSSnix IT.

After years in IT and my contract at Intel finished, I've started my own business to help SMBs thrive with Linux & open-source solutions 🥳

Outside of tech I’m usually trying new beers, camping, or doing what my cat tells me to do 🍺 🌲 🐱

I'm glad to be here on Fosstodon & connecting with the FOSS community!

Hi everyone,

My CW contract at Intel ended, so I’m starting my own business doing what I enjoy most.

I’m now Founder & Lead IT Specialist of FOSSnix IT, helping SMBs thrive with Linux & open-source solutions.

I’d love to connect with the FOSS community on @fosstodon, but it’s invite-only.

If any members have an invite, I’d be grateful! I’ll be an active, positive contributor 🍻

Here's how *not* to get scammed by printer manufacturers:

Here is my blog post that goes over the technical aspects of this: https://txtechnician.com/r/JKV
Consumer-grade printers: "Toner level" is tracked by page counts
Business-grade printers: Toner is detected physically by a special sensor. Meaning all toner is used to its full extent.

Tie-Day! Small Business IT is the bread and butter of many companies in the US. On Tuesday, I had the great pleasure of presenting UCS to a group of partners focusing on making open-source IT painless for small companies. Here is the matching Tie.
