  • That makes a lot of sense from a company’s standpoint. Not really the best for reliability when you think of business scale support…

    Interesting that most computing activities are reduced to a web front end (is this the correct term?) and the web browser becomes the OS for the usual user.

    At my previous job, we were issued several devices, on which I just used to access the services the company wanted our department to use. Much of the software would take minutes to load… Updates nearly every day… Usually when you were presenting in a conference room.

    The frustration derived from all those times where the computer would freeze just because the OS was using so many resources radicalized me a bit more towards Linux. :)


  • Any suggestions for a noob in the router space? I’m looking to start with some basics, and wasn’t sure if Network Chuck would be the best starting point.

    Sometimes there are some graybeard HTML documentation sites laying around that are great at conveying fundamentals.

    Being in the in between age group that didn’t learn the way the web is structured from an earlier timeframe has garbled my understanding of where I should start and the roadmap of where I want to go.


  • Hoping to spread the good word of Linux at my next employer… 😂 In any way I can suggest and assist someone in a transition to more creative freedom in their projects is a win for me.

    I’d imagine you’ve learned quite a bit working with FAANG companies. Very impressive background!

    A bit off topic… But is there a good starter resource/project for a VPS? Each time I revisit the idea of self hosting, the abstractions can get confusing. Interested in making a Pihole for one, but don’t want to make any tragic noob errors.



  • The unfortunate reality that I’ve come to cope with, is that there’s only so much you can do to attempt to convince people of something contrary to beliefs integrated within their identities.

    Cognitive dissonance is a difficult battle to wage, but it is fruitless persuade those unwilling to be convinced that a large community easily indexed on the first page of the most ubiquitously used search engines is not the best solution to find community.

    It is an unfortunate truth, but it will reduce the harm in your life to distance yourself from these types of group think communities.

    I would prefer to be downvoted and engage in good faith discussion with a smaller group of individuals and possibly have my own beliefs evolve than stay in a corporate environment.

    Sounds like you’ll find more community here on Lemmy.

    We’re a smaller, odder bunch, but in the more reminiscent style of older form posts.

    I really like the sphere here. I ditched Reddit awhile ago for the Fediverse and haven’t looked back since.

    For me, I’ve been a hobbyist polyglot for most of my life. The disconnect I’ve found is in my auditory processing ability.

    I usually can learn to read, write, and speak in a very short period of time. The difficulty comes in the way a native will phrase their sentences, coupled with my deficiency in gauging the other person’s intent behind their message.

    Written communication is the easiest for me, but spoken language carries psychology and nuance that can go over my head. Neurodivergent native speakers seem to have similar idiosyncratic ways of expression…

    I can confidently say I speak 5 languages, but have studied upwards of 25 not counting written ancient languages.




  • Completely agree with NT people being stranger. Whenever I chat with someone ND, it feels like there’s a layer of understanding that just isn’t there with the wider neurotypes.

    No offense taken at all, it’s a fair comparison, but upsetting when you see the similarity in how judgmental and shallow some people can be. Eccentricity is the route I usually take. It ends up dividing the room into buckets depending on the amount of “personality” one can take. Not sure how predictability/spontaneity influences this viewpoint of NTs as well, but as you pointed out, ferocity and being “too good at your job” can also make NTs jealous from what I’ve experienced.














  • I can change the combination of words I use to communicate if that would be better. Tribal knowledge is a term I have heard expressed between a spectrum of individuals from different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds working in technical fields. I did not know that this term was off limits for this forum. It was not my intention that it be extrapolated as an insult towards someone’s race or social class.

    I already am watching some and enjoy going to my local library as well to do so. I understand that it’s not the person’s responsibility. It seems preferable to just look it up without expressing any communication to the other.

    That would help achieve this goal. I would appreciate if you sent this playlist. Social interactions confuse me as well. It is better to attempt them than to immediately jump off the page when a disagreement ensues.
