I make my own unforgettable sandwich. It goes like this: homemade wholemeal bread with seeds, homemade butter, lettuce, ham, skinless tomatoes, hardboiled egg, mayo, spring onion or radish or dilled(fermented) cucumber.

10 more years and posts like this will be classified as hate speech and terror act against the state.

I like it. It looks nice, has some unique features and is based on Firefox. But because it's still alpha I won't use it as my main browser but will keep an eye on a project and once it's more polished I will consider switching.

Start with learning about containers. Docker will be good to start with. Learn how to build images, how to run containers, how to connect multiple containers, etc. Next jump to Podman and learn how to run containers as systemd services. It will give you the idea how stuff works behind the scenes.

Next step would be learning about AWS. Since you prefer the hands on way of learning, create a simple project, e.g. a blog, put it in a container and move it to the cloud. ECS would be a good place for that. Once you have it up and running, add more things to the project - Cloudwatch logs, metrics and alerts, Cloudfront to serve static assets from S3 bucket and dynamic content from the ECS container. Next add more stuff like "background" container to handle asynchronous tasks like sending emails, processing image uploads, etc. You could also use Lambda for that. From there you might want to jump to VPC and learn how to hide your containers/Lambdas from public access.

Now, knowing how the basic things work in the cloud, it's time for some devops learning. Learn how to deploy infrastructure using Terraform of Cloud Formation. You could also look at Ansible for configuring your servers. Good thing would be to learn about different tools for logging and monitoring like Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, etc.

Last but not least - CI/CD. Learn about different tools, learn how to automate various processes like deployments, tests, etc.

All those things are just a top level view on cloud. You will also need to learn about Route53, IAM, databases (RDS, DynamoDB, Elasticache, etc.) and whatever you find useful in your project.

Keep in mind that using AWS is not free so always check the price and free tiers.

I know it sounds like a lot but you won't have to learn all of it at once.

As for the certificates, I never was fan of those. I never took any exam as none of my employers required one. More important was hands on experience and projects I could show as a proof of knowledge.

I don’t know if I want to stay my whole life working on Cloud

I was lucky enough to start my career before cloud was a thing so I have experience with bare metal and virtual machines. Nowadays it's little harder to learn this stuff but nothing stops you from setting up a virtual machine and learn how to configure various system services and 3rd party products like http servers, proxies, databases, etc.

ideally I’d like to work with actual computers rather than with cloud

For that I like to tinker with various Raspberry Pi based projects. It allows me to play with electronic circuits, Python, low level system setup and various hardware. I know it's not directly related to managing servers but teaches me to look at a problem from a different perspective.

Winter is coming to an end. I'm going to start planning my garden and building raised beds.

Now, let's put this into perspective - https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/ethnicity-and-the-criminal-justice-system-statistics-2020/ethnicity-and-the-criminal-justice-system-2020

If you want to provide data, do it as a whokr, not what fits your point of view.

There's a quick fix. If a woman starts taking about your height, start taking about her weight.

I am a private person. Not because I have something to hide, I just don't like the idea that my data is being sold which exposes me to various scams. I got to the point where some of my online purchases are marked as fraud due to measures I took - vpn, email alias, delivery to a parcel locker, spoofed phone number, one time cc. But with cars I cannot help myself. I truly enjoy all the "smart" features. Collision detection, ability to press SOS button when I need help, ability to remotely start/stop/lock/unlock/turn on/off ac/etc. I know how privacy invasive those things are but in this case I've chosen convince over privacy.

Bitwarden or Proton Pass.

Yes, I do think something is missing here. As cold as it sounds, it's the single person responsibility to provide for itself. If you are 70+ years old and you have nothing to support your retirement, it's mostly your fault.

It's amazing how people who blame boomers for all the evil in the world, are so sympathetic for other boomers who weren't so lucky.

Oh no. Medicore, overpriced coffee like drink is no longer giving profits? That's crazy. How is it possible?

Don't worry, it's still in the top 10 /s

No, eating in front of the TV is not bad for you. What's bad for you is what you eat. You can sit through the whole movie eating carrots. but if you chose to eat chips/pretzels/popcorn it will eventually kill you (assuming you don't care about yourself).

Devil's advocate here. While I feel sorry for the people struggling with the housing crisis, it always puzzles me when the so called boomer generation is having problems with a living situation. Back then it wasn't that hard to buy a house that by today's standards would be enough to support retirement. I have a feeling that the Media are cherry picking sad stories to get the public's attention (aka clickbait).

Too little, too late. For first month the app was unusable. It took forever to play the music and when it finally got played the missing features made the experience at best mediocre

I'm not going to stick with Sonos. I have already started lookingfosr a replacement. Audio Pro looks pretty good.
