As you should be!
After quite a long while working with someone to this capacity, it would be strange not to be on first name basis, but I haven’t worked with you.
I’ve been on the internet for a very long time, and it takes quite a bit of rapport to build before I’m comfortable giving out my first name, let alone my full name.
I definitely understand where you’re coming from, just a stretch at the start for me personally.
Really love the admin team though!
While not strictly required
Technically true, but verbiage leads me to believe its more required than not.
Huh good to know thanks!
Someone found Slender’s pages
Maybe it’s ignorance on my part, but my office and the router in the house aren’t on the same circuit.
Or, at least they have different sections in the breaker.
House is brand new, put up in 2021
You can TRY power line adapters:

Their application can be hit or miss, but mine have been perfect. Had them just under 2 years. Able to get full bandwidth and no discernable latency addition
You are correct, but the topic is applying as an admin, so I replied to the topic.
Aye it’s the humanity problem.
Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of “group”.
Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.
I’d be happy to apply, but requiring a CV and full background check in addition to a video call interview is a bit steep for me.
Just the video call I’d absolutely be applying, I genuinely believe in Lemmy and want to see it succeed, but not to the point that I’m willing to put this much information into non-employment hands.
Good luck on the search.
Can confirm. Was blonde until I was around 6 or 7 when it started to darken.
Goes by Major Zero now.
He misremembered the name of the hole.
Yeah extremely jealous of that lol. Enjoy the ride, it’s a wild one.
EVERY entry in the MGS series from ps1 onward in its entirety (minus Survive) is one of those “if only I could play it for then first time again” games.
Have you ever played them or is this your first time through the series?
Yeah same boat here.
Testosterone got the better of me weight lifting in high school and I fucked up the ligament that holds my left kneecap down.
I pop and crack like a 70 year old and I’m 29 (been happening since I was 17) and I can’t keep my left knee bent for long periods of time without it aching.
I’m trying to stay young by playing video games (primarily rocket league) but they don’t feel the same as when I was younger. That was my actual sign.
Yep same thing.
Moved from Nova to Niagara after trying about 30 different launchers (closed and open) and I don’t think I’ll be changing for quite a long time.
Edit: I can’t read and actively also trying to put my 5 month old to bed.
Please ignore dumb dumb (me)
Sys admin here for quite some time.
This is pretty typical in our field I’ve found, because that’s what it takes to move up in this field.
Non-CS just believe the “oh you work with computers? So you must know how to hack Facebook” logic, so they have to either say they don’t know how and look stupid, or just rattle off some absolute bonkers shit that uses acronyms and such above the non-CSs head.
This eventually bleeds into their reality and becomes a character trait.
It’s more a human/culture problem than a CS problem but I get what you mean :)
Bullet dodged?
Honestly the single biggest thing to self-hosting is breaking stuff.
Host stuff that seems interesting to you, and dick around with it. If it breaks, read the logs and try to fix. If you can’t, revert to a backup and try to reproduce.
If you start out with things that interest you, you’ll more likely stick with the hobby. From there you can move to hosting things with external access - maybe vpn inside your own network through your router?
From there, get your security in line and host a basic webserver. Something small, low attack vector, and build on it. Then expand!
Definitely recommend docker to start with - specifically docker compose. Read the documentation and mess around!
First container I would host is portainer. General web admin/management panel for containers.
Good luck :).
So the issue here for me is lack of pay.
Asking me this through straight employment is an agreement that protects both the worker and employer in some capacity.
Asking this through volunteer work makes me uneasy.
I’m completely happy to volunteer my time to an org that I believe in, Lemmy being a ptime example, but not willing to do so in the case of requiring this information up front.
