It reminds me of the PowerPoint my company had.

It was this graph showing how many tech people they have since 1960, and the numbers kept multiplying.

How they rated tech people was someone who works behind the computer. So yeah, as we gain more employees, we tend to put them behind computers to do work?

Joplin. I have it as a sync server. But have it tucked away in a cloud server for the times when I'm traveling so j always have a way to access data in case my phone gets stolen/confiscated.

This is pretty neat!

Sounds like you need both the audio and the ebook to make it work?

I typically only have one or the other.

Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.

I don't work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!

"excessive promotion", right.

You're doing great work.

I went back to school in my early 30s.

I have a coworker who went back in his 40s and is changing careers (from tech lead to management). And another who is nearing 50s who just wanted that piece of paper. (IT guy who wanted a fine arts degree)

I'm pretty sure they assumed if you bought their service, you have the competency to properly set it up.

And I proved them wrong.

I shared it because, out there, there is a junior engineer experiencing severe imposter syndrome. And here I am, someone who has successfully delivered applications with millions of users and advanced to leadership roles within the tech industry, who overlook basic security principles.

We all make mistakes!

Haha I'm pretty sure my little server was just part of the "let's test our dumb script to see if it works. Oh wow it did what a moron!"

Lessons learned.

The latter. It was autogenerated by the VPS hosting service and I didn't think about it.

You're not wrong! Devops made me lazy

Now that you mentioned it, it didn't! I recall even docker Linux setups would yell at me.

I published it to the internet and the next day, I couldn't ssh into the server anymore with my user account and something was off.

Tried root + password, also failed.

Immediately facepalmed because the password was the generic 8 characters and there was no fail2ban to stop guessing.

Hey, I did the same thing recently! Set it up on my own server, and after a week, I'm starting to see new accounts being added to my explore feed. But there's no user count.

It's an annoying experience and I'm not fully sure how to resolve it yet, nor have I dung into it.

Probably overkill and I agree with you.

K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it's quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.

I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn't the only one.

Yeah. I talk about the product directly.

Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Mastodon.

I talk about the activitypub and decentralization.

I'm trying to remove Fediverse from the conversation because that's the word that starts to make people confused.

Well to be fair, American companies did that too. They expand their services internationally "for free" and then get other countries hooked on it.

China is just taking a page from that playbook.
