Yep, about to turn thirty and have been paying into an Ira, a Roth Ira and a 401k, I want to retire as soon a possible and do things that actually make me happy.

I was surprised I didn’t see the other comments brining up the ol pressure aspects.

Would be neat to have a site take in a Url for a post/comment and display a list of top instances or something stating whether it’s visible there or not.

Lmao loo nah tee, like illuminati :D

One of my cats loves to sit inside those little cardboard-esque drink holders.

The other loves cheese and ice cubes

What do parents do then when they’re working since childcare in the US is fucked

In my experience it has more to do with how much less frequently issues happen and/or how often you need to go manually move files/folders around. Just not nearly as much need imo.

Similar situation with mobile devices, I remember rooting/roming/jailbreaking being much more common in the past.

At my prior company (we got bought out) the thin clients clearly ran a Linux system that then connected into a windows VM.

For what would make me completely move, I just want my games to work, I know a ton of effort has been made on that front, but Nvidia drivers kinda stink so performance is a bit worse or completely unusable in certain programs on wayland at least.

Stuff like Wabbajack Skyrim/FO mod organizer modlist support for Linux too, along with modding other games in general usually requires windows because of dll hooking being very common.

Same, I do mean moreso building particular skills that businesses are looking for.

See a lot of “no higher Ed, just learned from experience.” any tips on things to do to gain more experience in sysadmin adjacent skills?

I like to think I’m quite competent with Windows/Linux, been a computer geek since I was really young, in a senior “tech support” position, but the kind of things I do at work are usually less advanced then the random side projects I do for fun… I’m basically the Linux guy for our group but that’s not saying much as the support is next to 0 until you get to an actual product role.

It feels like you’d have to have the job to get the experience, but maybe I’m just not aware of what/if there are any particular projects or things to do that could help with more sysadmin side knowledge.

To give a quick easy example, I have a friend who just started a server maintence type role at a different company and was tasked with setting up a Linux server, she ran into several snags trying to set it up with the documentation she was provided by the company, I asked what distro was it, and what commands was she running? Turns out it was just that she waa given instructions for YUM rather then APT (it was Ubuntu) lol

Not sure how easy this is anymore, but when I was a teen I was flashing my friends phone with cyanogenmod and it died midway through, bricked and wouldn’t charge either.

We opened it up, cut open a charging cable and manually attached them to the battery terminals with the battery removed until it turned back on and we were able to flash stock and back to cyanogenmod lmao

My cat does this, while also ripping it up, so doesn’t matter if it’s over or under

I use a desktop 99% of the time on my TV with a wireless keyboard+track pad and game with a Xbox controller. Though I’m definitely in the minority on that lol

You have reached the Sprint PCS voicemail box of

For me it’s just nice having something in the background, just something you’re not actually trying to pay too much attention to, episodes of a show you’ve already seen, long twitch vods, stuff like that.

I did yes lol

Why will it be better in just a couple months? Something on the horizon?

Edit: Appreciate the responses!
