My name is Jan Prunk.\u00c2\u00a0I live in Slovenia<\/a> . My enthusiasm for computers started as a hobby in my primary school, when my uncle gave me the personal computer Sinclair<\/a> ZX Spectrum 48k<\/a> back in 1985. It was fun playing games on it, which were loaded through the compact cassette player<\/a>. In 1992, I started exploring the Internet over the Dial-up internet access<\/a>. At that time, I had an Atari PC<\/a> 8086<\/a> XT class with 2400 bps modem, and a Disk Operating System<\/a>. I obtained access through my parents account on Academic and Research Network of Slovenia<\/a>, which was operating on some form of a VAX<\/a> hardware with the VMS<\/a> operating system. I had access to terminal based e-mail and IRC<\/a>. After my high school I started with the student practice at the Software company Hermes Softlab (<\/a>now ComTrade<\/a>)\u00c2\u00a0, where I worked for 2 years building Intranet web pages on Microsoft Windows 95<\/a>. There, I first heard about GNU\/Linux.<\/a> At first I was using it on remote servers for permanent IRC access. It didn’t have a big influence on me until the year 2001, when I also started using GNU\/Linux at home. I have chosen Slackware<\/a> which was one of the most advanced GNU\/Linux distributions at that time. The installation on a home PC has served to me also as an Internet gateway (It’s hard to believe but I had a working IPv6 stack on the early set of 2.x Linux kernels). I also tried\u00c2\u00a0Red Hat<\/a> distribution for a while and later decided to go with Debian GNU\/Linux<\/a> in 2003 which was known to be a well developed, secure and stable GNU\/Linux distribution. In the years 2007-2009 I worked for an Internet service provider<\/a> Telprom<\/a> in Ljubljana<\/a>, as a GNU\/Linux system administrator<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0in the VoIP<\/a> field. My work was based on Asterisk PBX<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0. In 2010 I started with my part time work in a Brittish company MCKAYCOM Ltd.<\/a>, which provides hosting services and Internet access, has a status of Local Internet registry<\/a> and is peering<\/a> on multiple Internet exchange points worldwide<\/a>. MCKAYCOM Ltd. are also a member of one of the worlds leading Internet exchanges in Amsterdam called\u00c2\u00a0AMS-IX<\/a>. If you are looking for affordable IP Transit<\/a> service, let me know. Since 2010 I am working in a security company Sintal concern<\/a> in Ljubljana. I am an eager admirer of the Free and Open hardware design and comply to the software freedom<\/a> and GNU<\/a> philosophy. I am using free software distributions for my daily work, such as Trisquel GNU\/Linux<\/a> , Replicant<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0, and LibreCMC<\/a> . I have attended several FLOSS<\/a> related events, among them the\u00c2\u00a0LinuxTag<\/a> conferences in Germany (2006, 2011), and several networking events, among them the GO6 IPv6 conferences<\/a> , RIPE-64 <\/a>conference (2012) and CEE Peering days<\/a> conference (2017). I try to contribute to FLOSS<\/a> communities as a follower and member of related organizations, such as FSF<\/a>, FSFE<\/a>, Libera chat<\/a>, OFTC<\/a>. When I am not near computers, I prefer to spend my time with other interests. I like to hike or cycle and spend time outside doing photography or attend a concert or an art exhibition. I enjoy listening to different types of music either from my own collection of musical records or from the radio. If the time and finances match together I also enjoy traveling around neighboring countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
