Like most things there is a book that looks into this. Take a gander at the Wikipedia if your interested (the author argued that there are 11 'nations' in the US). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Nations

If memory holds, server admins can require any of (or none of) capchas, email verification, or manual approval for making a new account. They can also fully disable the ability to make accounts.

Your brain sees the reward (karma) and gets a hit of dopamine. In theory this creates a spiral of encouraging you to post more contet for more dopamine hits. More content pulls in more users...

A short time ago in a server near to your home...

Lemmy Wars

Some background. Some more background.

You can do one year dedicated spend.

But yes. Serverless is a trap to be avoided.

There is an author - Tad Williams, who wrote the "Otherland" series. One of the chapters has the some of the main ensemble going to "treehouse" - aka what happened in this universe when the nerds, geeks and techno wizards took their ball and went home. The series as a whole is interesting if you like sci-fi. That chapter however seems more and more on the nose the older I get.

:x to save and quit. :q to quit. :q! To save and not quit.

Fun fact. WA is looking into getting rid of gas taxes and imposing a per mile driven tax due at registration.

No. $10mm/year for cloud spend is totally reasonable for a website the size of reddit. Honestly it's lower then I would expect.

The best advice I can give is to get away from a front line support role. If you stay in tech you could work your to engineering, sysadmin, data stuff, or project management. If you want to get away from tech go as far as you feel you can (because once people learn your good with computers...).

I don't think they will close themselves off. I think we will see three 'levels' of instance. The big core instances (a handful) which have dedicated teams running everything (might be volunteer, might be staff), a fairly large smattering of small instances ran by corps (the fedverse is a social media platform after all), as well smaller groups of like-minded people (eg beehaw or lemmygrad), and lastly the hobbyist who want to self host.

Two ways come to mind.

One is tmux. The other is editing your .bashrc (I'm assuming your shell is bash, adjust accordingly if it's a different shell) to have relevant info in your prompt (common is username@hostname).

Oh. also Windows Temrinal supports themes, and you can configure different commands to run when opening a given shell.

Im going to to make a few assumptions. 1) your male (or at least buy men's shoes). 2) your in the States. Adjust advise accordingly.

Your big mistake is two fold. One your buying shoes from a mall "discount" retailer and two your probably not rotating shoes.

Let's talk about that first part. Go into Nordstrom (if your not in the states look for the high end department store in your area). The reason is because the staff are trained in the product, and the return is amazing. Your going to be spending $2-400 on a pair of shoes. Talk to the sales person about what your looking for. Your goal is to not end up with a track shoe, but something made of leather with a real sole.

Secondly. You weigh a bunch compared to your shoes. Every step puts some level of stress on the sole(be it leather, rubber, foam, etc). When you lift your foot back up that stress is relaxed and quickly reapplied. Over time this can wear down your shoes. The trick here is to rotate your shoes so each pair has a day or two to "rest" before usage. This (In conjunction with buying good quality shoes) will result in you needing a new pair closer to every 5 years (longer if you get the soles replaced).

The complexity of iptables should not be understated. IMO It should be treated as a firewall if last resort - because there is a very high chance the next person to maintain the system after you will not understand all of your implementation

Then. Honestly. You need to do a radical shift. No matter what part of IT you are in you will still be doing some level of support.

Even if you don't have a Tesla there are a handful of apps out there that will help.

Now if we could get everyone on the same stupid plug - but thats a different conversation.

I think what you are striking on is a difference in platform design. Remember, with social media you are the product to be sold to. Here in the fedverse there is no highly tuned algorithm keeping your eyeballs engaged and your dopamine/cortisol receptors in lock step.

Just remember - as content is generated SEO is naturally going to improve, which will start to bring people into kbin/lemmy via Google.

As people spend time here marketing types will start to notice. Shortly thereafter we will see bots. To me, how we as a community handle those bots will be the real "does this experiment survive" test.

I had the same bug. A full restart of my phone seems to have fixed it.

So I'm a systems engineer in the real world for an (almost) unicorn (current valuation might even have tossed us over that magic number). My salary is on the lower end of the spectrum but I'm happy with it because normally the work life balances is dandy. My total comp is well into 6 figures USD. Oh and I'm fully remote.

Now, this is not something you can get out of highschool. I've been working with Linux for 10+ years, built (and maintained) entire AD forests, have a fairly deep understanding of networking and containerization, etc.

Again. You don't start like me. You start getting a gig in front line help desk and answer questions. In your free time at work you learn (that's never going to stop). Eventually your outgrow help desk and move into some other role (and keep learning). The people who are successful in this field A) can always be learning, B) have a means to destress/avoid burnout and C) have customer service skills.
