Definitely. I’m happy about the way I look and even happier being a decent human being.

Do it, 100% worth it! Also has some extra stuff for already-experienced users if it gets too easy :)
- Comment on Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy 4 weeks ago:
I had the same issue, this is indeed perfect for that level and a nice cozy start for your server admin journey :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
- Comment on Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy 4 weeks ago:
I hope someone else can pitch in with a more indepth instructions, but two things I wanted to mention:
First, forget about hosting your own email from home. Seriously. Even those who do it professionally don’t want to deal with that at home. You’ll find people on fediverse who do it but I’m sure plenty will give you this same recommendation/warning. It’s a huge hassle and it’s so easy to get your domain blocked/ending up on a blacklist and way harder to get out of it.
Second, I can personally recommend linuxupskillchallenge.org if you are really starting from scratch ( there’s a community here: !linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev ). This is how I started and set up my own linux server and started self hosting stuff on it. It’s really basic and won’t teach you everything you need but it’s a great start for setting up your own server. You can do everything with a local server at home that you have set up.

That’s a nice tip, have to try that out. Thanks!
- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 1 month ago:
Vinegar based cleaner for everything and you are good. Recommend a separate, dedicated mirror cleaner for mirrors though. Clean weekly to reduce the need to scrub with more powerful stuff.

100% agree.
This topic just boils my blood every time.
- Comment on The Witcher season 4 premieres next month, Netflix show off recast Gerry from the River and vampiric Morpheus 3 months ago:
Imho the worst that this show did was picking someone to do the screen writing who didn’t care about anything but her own ambitions. Fuck the lore and original story right? Not like all the people eagerly waiting for the show for a year and hyping + doing basically marketing for the show for free AND a popular, expensive nerd actor actively trying to get the role had any passion for existing stuff! They were waiting for the screenwriter’s interpretation, of course!
HBO would have done this better.

- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 months ago:
That’s useful, thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check this out. Especially nice for those who can’t afford new PC’s atm.
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 months ago:
Thanks for the links. I recall reading that installing windows 11 with bypasses might break after some future update? I just didn’t want to offer a solution that might cause issues as well.
For some linux was a good option, but for some I said you can either get a new computer or pay for the LTSC. Thankfully I was able to find some affordable win11 compatible laptops for their usecases.
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 months ago:
I have been called by friends, family friends, and their friends to help with this and so many have hardware that is not supported, and some are not able to afford a new PC right now. That’s my limited and personal experience about this.
I have reservations about installing Linux Mint/other for these people because I don’t have time to help right now and you do need sometimes help if you are slightly tech aware but not enough to be able to troubleshoot yourself or search for right info. For folks who barely touch any settings and just use it for docs + web it’s easy, but for others not always.
Microsoft is such an ass for doing this.

That is so relieving to hear, awesome!
- Comment on The EU has never been closer to agreeing on Chat Control – here's how we got here and what’s at stake 3 months ago:
From the article:
As Voge from the Internet Society explains, Germany is key because there’s a new government in charge. The previous government was indeed very pro-encryption – seeking to make encryption a legal right at home, while strongly opposing mandatory scanning in the block. Yet, the new administration “is giving very mixed messages and no one can definitively say what’s going to happen on Friday,” Voge added.
I really like the idea of encryption as a legal right.

On top of all of this, these fucks don’t seem to be worried about their own encryption outside of office / position.
Fucking idiots. Has anyone told them that them using any of their free-time devices would be suspectible to any exploit that this introduces too (and it will)? Oh, got a new iPad for home? Guess what, you are important enough that a zero-day exploit was worth it to be used on you. Would they get off their career-high for one moment and think…
- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 3 months ago:
Moved inside Europe to another country because my partner had lived 3 years in my home country and complained about everything, so we decided it’s my turn to complain about everything. One more year to go to settle the score.
On a serious note we both love things about each others country and we are both open to live in either. Living and breathing your partner’s culture and environment they grew up in is such a great way to understand them on a deeper level. I finally understand her complaints and she understands mine!
- Comment on How can I see my removed posts from any community? 3 months ago:
This is true but I just want to add that instance admins can purge the uploads/posts entirely with a button that’s right next to “delete”. I recommend keeping a local copy of media you want to keep.

- Comment on Day 371 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 months ago:
Same, mostly because it’s not relaxing anymore and you need to manage time as well. I can’t always commit so much time unfortunately and we all know how toxic some MMO players can be! (not always but yeah)
- Comment on Day 371 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 months ago:
That is so true! And there (atleast when I played) wasn’t much group content so you never had to stress about that either (unlike in other mmos)
