This is exactly what we’re planning.

I am done done done with the pressure, the incessant need for connection, only to reach out and find that people on the whole are just fucked up.

Where are the relatively normal people?

The measured people, the people who do not have a insane opinion about guns or politics or how people should live their lives?

Where are the people who know right from wrong? Good from evil?

It’s tiresome. I want to be friends with a donkey, stare at some landscape and see my days out in peace.

B.A.M.O

Block and Move On.

There’s a cool book called The Ministry of Food or something by yer man Jamie Oliver.

Taught me a thing or two.

Tasty dishes, simple recipes.

Have a nice sit down.

Zero fucking tolerance.

None.

It’s shit like this that fucks a place up.

Get a grip.

Just go outside.

Dear god.

Mental. I start seeing sounds after 5-6 hours straight driving.

Oh god no, not Salesforce. No no no.

All of our other products.

Speaking of cool projects; build a lemmy app. It can be console app for simplicity.

Not a bad shout. I see wefwef is a webapp. That could be worth exploring.

Thanks.

I’m not giving up a 20+ year career in IT just because I haven’t yet found a way to learn how to code.

There’s more than one way to teach a subject and it would be nice to have even a basic understanding of the mess I am supposed to be supporting,

My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills. I have none, by the way, and I don’t even know where to start.

Some of the usual responses when I state this:

“Automate your work” - I work in Salesforce. Have you seen Salesforce? I’m not a multi faceted systems administrator constantly updating DNS records or working in Active Directory.

“Write a cool app” - What cool app? What is “cool”?

“Open dev tools and look around” - Why? Specifically, why?

Also, learning programming is BORING. Most of the courses I’ve tried are so so stale and they aaallll end up explaining concepts in the same way.

“This is a fleeble and it holds the sping, the sping tells the plus plus that it must do what the herbug says”.

k.

My opinion is that if you give a shit about how and where you spend your time, you will not support a platform run by and inhabited by dickheads.

Vote with your feet, or thumbs in this case.

If you’re not feeling 100%, take a day.

Variables being: do you like your job?

Is your employer a fair employer?

Will the business crumble if you’re not there? I mean, if it does, that’s a company problem, not a you problem.

You should be working to live, not the other way around.

It’s the worst.

Trying to make friends as an adult is hard work!

All these political opinions, skewed world views, left and right biases.

I just want to hang out with some other like minded people.

Correct, that’s pretty much it.

I’m not alone.

Compute was never an issue. I had my instance hosted on Hetzner and it ran just fine.

My concern is the storage, as described above, constantly checking disk space, cronjobs, purging etc etc

And whether I host a single user or a multi user instance is neither here or there. My question still stands.
