I don’t pirate music … because there are reasonable platforms and pricing models which make pirating more hassle than it’s worth.

Hopefully Spotify is not the platform you’re talking about. I don’t use them because they do not pay the artists. Bandcamp is the spot for music… It’s really the only place I get music anymore.

Out of curiosity, what country is this? That seems like a really low number… Working full time you would have 760 hours in less than 6 months.

Obviously only talking about user space here… Kube doesn’t have any ambitions to manage kernel drivers or whatever (at least not until eBPF gets wider adoption).

Basically though, they have the same goals. To run programs and manage network communications. Kube does this in an extremely flexible way and it allows you to tolerate failures much more gracefully than the old ways. It’s nowhere near appropriate as a replacement for a desktop distribution though… I’m talking about the server world.

The way kube works is really just a beautiful thing to see and I never want to manage a server the old way again if I can avoid it. The wider infrastructure industry is all moving in this direction and the overwhelming bulk of open-source development effort is going into cloud native tooling… The CNCF landscape map alone shows how huge of an explosion is occurring right now… It’s an exciting time to be involved.

I think you can search for discord servers in the web/desktop app, can’t you? I’m on mobile at the moment and don’t see it in the app. I feel like I’ve done it before though.

Ordinarily I look for something more specific about what I’m trying to do… For self hosting stuff, the kubernetes@home thing is solid. The cncf server is great too. If that’s not you jam though obviously it won’t help… For me personally, kubernetes is basically just a modern implementation of a Linux distro. Obv ymmv.

Lair of the Minotaur at Kuma’s Corner in Chicago. Nothing else comes close.

Yep. Meetups are the best. You def have to go regularly though… Don’t expect magic from day 1.

Warrio all day

Watercolor.

Children play with $5 palettes. Apparently I pay $20 for a single color tube.

Knowing this stuff is fine but make sure to keep your goals in mind. If the idea is to get a job, figuring out how Bluetooth works isn’t going to get you anywhere. You need to move in the direction the wider industry is moving. That direction is running containers in kubernetes.

If you can stand up a kube cluster, write a Prometheus exporter in go, scale pods based on those metrics, and auto resize workloads’ resource requests, then you should be able to find a job without much trouble… These are the things ops people are expected to do in 2023.

EDIT: The CNCF is a great resource for modern tooling.

people that don’t want Linux to evolve

Exactly this.

The philosophical arguments are pretty garbage. I generally want to know if the “it violates the UNIX philosophy” people use browser extensions… That violates the UNIX philosophy too. Systemd “is backed by big corp” but who do you think is actually contributing time/effort/code to the Linux kernel? It’s the device manufacturers who are trying to get you to buy their products… So that fails too.

No offense to anyone reading this but if you’re really passionately anti-systemd, I would not hire you. This is a dumb hill to die on and a red flag.

I have an M1 mbp for work and its honestly unbelievable. It’s one of the nicest machines I’ve owned in years. The chip is a huge part of it.

Unless you’re trying to build custom AMIs for a cloud environment (packer is the answer for this job) then it sounds like a nightmare of a project to maintain long term. You’d be much better off using config management and a more or less vanilla base distro.

“If I treat a man for a broken leg, that’s what they will die of.”

I was a kid when I last had it. Really uneventful. “Count backwards from 10” and you’re out by 6.

My wife had it a few months ago to fix a deviated septum. Her native language is Turkish. When she came to she was only speaking English. The doctors couldn’t understand her “but she seems fine.” I told her she was speaking Chinese just to fuck with her a bit. “Oh no! We need to get a dictionary!” It was really strange… She understood Turkish perfectly fine but was completely unable to speak it.

Other than some funny after effects, it was mostly a non-issue for her as well. She was fine after a couple hours.

I assume you’re American? When you need to talk to people across borders you need something like WhatsApp. SMS doesn’t cut it.

I’d rather use Signal but whatever… I’m being practical. Everyone I know is on WhatsApp.

I see German and French posts everyday.

Never used syncthing so I’m not sure. Resilio is running a modified bittorrent protocol. It’s always been fast and easy for me so I’ve never had the motivation to look into anything else.

Resilio Sync instead of something like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Fastmail is pretty solid too.

They would need to build an office within a ten minute walk from my home.

Check the neighborhood maps on nomadlist. Check out where there are supposed to be cool stuff/people. Usually I just search Google maps for things/streets in those neighborhoods for things that might be interesting… Cafés, restaurants, bars, shops, etc…

You MUST get used to meeting locals when you’re traveling a lot. Meetup.com, couchsurfing, internations, dating apps, or even the hostel where you are staying.

For context, I traveled full time, nonstop for 4ish years before covid. This is how I did the majority of my travel. Things like attractions or museums or historical places get really old really fast. If I never set foot in an art museum for the rest of my life, I will not be upset in the slightest. People, food, shopping, culture… This is the only thing I feel is worth seeing anymore.
