I’m not forced to, but occasionally my job kinda requires it so I dualboot (most of my coworkers who are on linux run a windows virtual machine when they need it).

But my previous job required windows due to all the industry specific software only working on windows. No chance of getting that to work on linux sadly. Then I just used windows at work. It’s always my employer’s hardware anyway and I like to keep work and free-time separate so it was ok.

That sounds like a lot of progress, nicely done.

I know the struggle and unfortunately there is no way around it except listening and trying to fill the gaps with context until you are able to take it all in at some point. I tried listening “coffee break german” on youtube for awhile and think it helped, but it was a bit boring.

Yup! Lemmy is full of communities that died out because they were not active enough. Then no one posts new content there because last post was from 6 months ago and it’s perceived dead.

emb already gave a good answer, but I want to add that you can always block a community if you don’t like to create your own curated subscribed-feed and are annoyed at these threads popping up on all-feed.

If you think this community breaks any instance rules on your instance, feel free to report it. Otherwise I highly recommend the above suggestion.

For those who are too lazy to check what people here in the comments are saying, here’s what happpens when you open the page in reader mode:

I’m happy someone is pointing this out. There is so much trash out there that is just maximised for “citation count” because that’s how you get recognition in academia.

One more thing for folks who don’t know: peer reviewed doesn’t always mean someone actually verified shit, let alone read it all.

I’m not saying don’t believe scientists or that the whole research field is a hoax, I just am severely disappointed in the broader scientific community.

Damn

You are on lemmy silly…

@Gork@sopuli.xyz is this true?

Lol have to be careful when I say to someone I use lemmy now to not lead them to a cryptocoin.

And start soon, all the names are almost taken! :D

The damn coins steal all the names and therefore domains. Your username? Probably a cryptocoin name by now

Does Limewire still exist? I’m too afraid to check, probably get a virus from just googling it.

Definitely. I’m happy about the way I look and even happier being a decent human being.

Hey now some of us have no choice. There’s us poor baldies too.

Curious to see whether they combine HBO and Netflix. In the article netflix answers in an ambiguous way.

I bet they are trying to calculate whether this will bring in less money if they combine them, because they can’t just jack up the price of netflix subscription to double immediately after the merging of the two platforms. Many have both Netflix and HBO subscription so it might actually reduce the revenue.

Do it, 100% worth it! Also has some extra stuff for already-experienced users if it gets too easy :)

I had the same issue, this is indeed perfect for that level and a nice cozy start for your server admin journey :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I hope someone else can pitch in with a more indepth instructions, but two things I wanted to mention:

First, forget about hosting your own email from home. Seriously. Even those who do it professionally don’t want to deal with that at home. You’ll find people on fediverse who do it but I’m sure plenty will give you this same recommendation/warning. It’s a huge hassle and it’s so easy to get your domain blocked/ending up on a blacklist and way harder to get out of it.

Second, I can personally recommend https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/ if you are really starting from scratch ( there’s a community here: !linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev ). This is how I started and set up my own linux server and started self hosting stuff on it. It’s really basic and won’t teach you everything you need but it’s a great start for setting up your own server. You can do everything with a local server at home that you have set up.
