Assuming you mean hosting stuff on a VPS or similar, I think the Lemmy selfhosting communities consider that also self hosting on some level.

If you more meant for commercial hosting, there’s no harm in asking, I’d wager a fair few people subscribed probably work in the industry.

If you meant the behind the scenes stuff of running a hosting provider, you might have a little less luck, but you never know

I was about to take umbrage with that on behalf of millennials, but tbh we are a mess—not entirely through our own doing, of course—but definitely a mess.

Con man? CEO? Hedge fund manager?

But seriously, generally anything having an exponential return in this world is pretty unusual and generally not guaranteed if it’s a desirable outcome.

Particularly in a capitalist economy, the business only has to pay you just enough to not leave for a competitor, they don’t need to pay you the true value of your ability unless you’re basically the only person on the planet with the necessary skills.

On the flip side, in booming industries that require specific skills such as tech, you can generally get a pretty linear progression for a while before it plateaus in a good number of organisations.

Do we have an oldschoolridiculous community on Lemmy yet? This would be great content

Honestly, have people forgotten headphones exist?

Not long ago, it used to be a mortifying social suicide to be the kind of person that let their phone make a noise in a public place—let alone for an extended period of time!

Agree this is shit UX but…

How am I just now discovering you can do the swipe to change accounts

Nah the whole point of my server is for running stuff I might want to access at any time

Anything I would be happy to choose to turn on and off probably ends up running on my desktop PC instead

Depends where you get it from because half of them seem to be in train stations and have increased prices because of that.

IIRC the burger is about a fiver from a regular place though, little bit more than a sandwich meal deal from Tesco, but not five guys prices or anything

Might be a country by country thing, but in the UK a burger king whopper is genuinely not a bad burger for the price

I actually find myself seeking one out on occasion

Legitimately if they fix the ergonomics and the charging port it might actually not be a terrible choice. I keep the magic trackpad around for gestures whilst using my regular mouse

Well although he was right, I don’t think he could have drawn this about COVID in 2019, I don’t think anyone saw it coming at that point. Probably was more based on how things were already going

I’m aware, though there’s some nice integration stuff that means you can run GUI applications and share the file system

Interesting fact WSLv1 was actually not a VM and it was the NT kernel speaking POSIX

Oh yeah, I’d say Windows in general just chomps through RAM, but there has been some times that WSL takes it to chrome-like levels

Technically the “Linux on Mac” is Unix based and not Linux, but I agree the dev experience is nicer on my Mac than Windows given the choice. Also rather than docker you can use the WSL stuff on Windows for a much closer to normal Linux dev setup (with a few weird edges).

I end up regularly using all three OSes, so it’s helpful you can finally get a serviceable dev environment on any of the common non-mobile OSes now.

Whenever I develop on Windows, I just use the built in Linux.

First they came…

Well, my wedding gifts are usually proportional to what I imagine the couple have already spent for me to be there.

Someone who throws a wedding with accommodation and everything else all taken care of is going to get a bigger gift than one where I’m just invited to the evening do.

I guess the invite cost something to send so I suppose their gift would probably be about 50p max, if I could even bring myself to send anything.

Funnily if I wasn’t invited to a wedding of a friend for whatever reason and they didn’t send a card like this, I’d probably be more inclined to get a token gift as a congratulations anyway.

Coelacanths are pretty cool

Not for everyone but political activism is a good outlet, be it protests or volunteering to help the election campaign of the opposition when it comes round again. Make sure everyone you know lays the blame in the correct place when shit inevitably hits the fan.

Other than that, get off corporate social media, rage bait is the most effective content for driving interaction, corporate social media algorithms are designed to maximise interaction. You will always be shown the worst of everything on social media.

Similarly identify where your news is coming from and if it’s coming from somewhere with a tendency to sensationalise. Cut anything like that out too.

It’s important to be informed yes, but it’s not essential to be aware of absolutely everything for most people, and if that’s better for your mental health, you should prioritise reduction in consumption.

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking of, thanks!
