I set it up for a few days and it just keeps piling up. I’ve kinda given up on self hosting. It’s just not worth the hassle at least not now.
Works with anything plugged into the wall. Software developer most of the time. Helped start a makerspace once.
Will talk about Linux, plants, space, retro games, and anything else I find interesting.

Oh excellent I didn’t see that thanks!
I’ve tried misskey and for some reason posts don’t come through. Closest I got was bookwyrm which seems to workish, but it doesn’t have lists /hashtags like Mastodon does.
Portmaster is amazing.
That’s rough buddy.
Sounds like you have your answer! Also sounds like a fun project. GL!
Game boy and nes are pretty easy with modern day tools.
According to a 2024 survey from MyPerfectResume, 81% of recruiters admitted to posting ads for positions that were fake or already filled. While some respondents said employers did it to maintain a presence on job boards and build a talent pool, it’s also used to commit psychological warfare: 25% said ghost jobs helped companies gauge how replaceable their employees were, while 23% said it helped make the company appear more stable during a hiring freeze. Another damning 2024 report from Resume Builder said that 62% companies posted them specifically to make their employees feel replaceable.
Nasty
Yeah there’s a lot now. Job boards are pulling people’s data for $$
I make a useful thing at work. I make it public as a library. Everyone profits. Thats about it.
The only hard part is to make sure work is ok with me open sourcing whatever im building out. Sometimes Ill need to sanitize a couple of things, but thats about it.
I hate that I understand this. Well done.
7 was the windows where the configuration options started become less pronounced. You had to “know” where to go to change any system configurations. There were also many different ways to do the same operations that XP and some other windows had just one way of doing a thing. I remember something like multiple ways of powering off windows just one example.
Its better than modern day windows in that it had better backwards compatibility layers (in my opinion).
Its all good, as long as people watch. Upvotes/downvotes are just funny money/whose line is it anyways of internet points. AS long as people have a good time on lemmy im all good.
Im glad games work on proton nowadays.
I grew up in the era where my first computers were MSDOS, then over to win 95, then XP. Back then, most of the iterations on Windows were revolutions in what you could do with your machine. But ever since vista…its just been terrible one way or another. I didnt really enjoy Vista, 7, 10, or 11. They all do relatively the same thing. Theres no “killer” app that is exclusive. Even the AI stuff in win 11 is more a hindrance.
Enthusiasts forget, most people don’t care about their operating system, they care about running their programs. Before you HAD to use MS products to run your programs. Nowadays, most programs are going cloud/hybrid in some manner.
Software Developer. I try to get at least one thing done a day at work. Low hanging fruit first. A day may be a feature request, a meeting to go over new features/bugs in a system. I do maybe 4 hours of actual coding a day. But I do save the entity I work for literal millions/hours a year automating some of their workflows. I open source a large part of the work I do, which is supported by my employer, so thats nice.
I am pretty blessed honestly. Its a good gig.
I have an old mac mini that was a server for a good 4-ish years.
The good:
The bad:
I would use it as a specialty server if you have something you do automatically only macs can do. Or as a thin client/vm box.
I used to use it as a CI/CD box before github actions was a thing. If you happen to have one, sure set it up for fun. If you dont and are looking at buying one, I would suggest a cheap dell desktop or (depending on what you want to host) a pi 5 or thin client and throw linux on it.
California does an excellent job at this. You get a notification that your ballot has been counted.
I learned terraform and that helped. But I started in on and ansable/chef.
If it’s on Zillow then yes. The trick is to find houses that are not on MLS/Zillow…but realistically there are none. GL! We got ours wnd in one year it went up 40%in a year.
Also in my area that house is a steal and would have offers before it hit Zillow.
