My goal last year was to rank in the top 100 of my country.

I’m proud to say I’m nowhere near it. There’s others who have taken the challenge, and I’m all for it!

It reminds me of the PowerPoint my company had.

It was this graph showing how many tech people they have since 1960, and the numbers kept multiplying.

How they rated tech people was someone who works behind the computer. So yeah, as we gain more employees, we tend to put them behind computers to do work?

Joplin. I have it as a sync server. But have it tucked away in a cloud server for the times when I’m traveling so j always have a way to access data in case my phone gets stolen/confiscated.

This is pretty neat!

Sounds like you need both the audio and the ebook to make it work?

I typically only have one or the other.

Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.

I don’t work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!

“excessive promotion”, right.

You’re doing great work.

I went back to school in my early 30s.

I have a coworker who went back in his 40s and is changing careers (from tech lead to management). And another who is nearing 50s who just wanted that piece of paper. (IT guy who wanted a fine arts degree)

Hey, I did the same thing recently! Set it up on my own server, and after a week, I’m starting to see new accounts being added to my explore feed. But there’s no user count.

It’s an annoying experience and I’m not fully sure how to resolve it yet, nor have I dung into it.

Probably overkill and I agree with you.

K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it’s quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.

I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn’t the only one.

Yeah. I talk about the product directly.

Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Mastodon.

I talk about the activitypub and decentralization.

I’m trying to remove Fediverse from the conversation because that’s the word that starts to make people confused.

Well to be fair, American companies did that too. They expand their services internationally “for free” and then get other countries hooked on it.

China is just taking a page from that playbook.

Explain how good trains will help our precious CEOs?

Unless you mean a private train line paid with government funds. Now we’re talking!
