GAAAA! I tried running this website and of course it fucking works brilliantly yet I cannot get my Mastodon instance to show me notifications. Maybe I should just give up. LOL

This will be obviously all in the name of authoritarianism. Will the Russian Federation people benefit or will this be a means to control information? Note that my criticisms leveled against Russia could apply to Amurica as well. We Amuricans seem to have wet dreams of Christo-Fascism.

I would highly recommend Linux Mint.

Are you forced to run Windows on this laptop or could you throw a #Linux distro on it?

Fucking wow! Now this surprises me. I wonder what other PII information is being shared with Google, Meta, et al. 🙀

Ah will do! And thank you for the warning!

Then I would go AWS all of the way and hopefully on Linux. And yes, the prevailing advice is JavaScript so I've been convinced. 😂

Interesting site! Thank you for sharing it with us. 😺

Yes, I've added Python, Terraform and Ansible to my personal learning plan. All of what you mentioned is sound advice.

Interesting! Thank you for the perspective. I am seeing a trend of smaller businesses that are bringing services back on premises and self-hosting but I have no interest in working for a small business. I've been there, done that, and it was hell.

I was kind of learning towards Ruby myself simply because the language syntax looks to me to be saner and easier. I realize I am up against quite a challenge developing skills and knowledge in the area of full stack development so I obviously I don't want things to be too challenging. However, the overwhelming advice I have been given is JavaScript is the way to go and Ruby is for niche stuff.

Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed comment. Yes, I truly appreciate the advice. That much said, I am more interested in the free and open source side of computing. I am sick and tired of Microsoft and want to pivot away from them. I get enjoyment out of Linux and the command line; real satisfaction and fun. Nevertheless, I am going to check out the AWS stuff! 😺

You're welcome! I am going to work on it slowly but surely. It's going to be up to me to elevate myself out of my own miserable circumstances. The key to life improvement, I have always maintained, is lifelong education. Yeah, I ain't no spring chicken compared to the kids coming out with degrees but I can probably hang with them with some effort.

I am seriously curious here: Why has popularity of Ruby declined?

I thought Ruby was still pretty relevant given that Mastodon is essentially coded in Ruby but I am coming to the same conclusion you are based on another person's comment.

Thank you! Then it sounds like the more sensible path is JavaScript and nodejs. While I like the idea of personal challenge, I am trying to learn how to do this so I can get out of the skullduggery of my present career as a senior desktop support engineer. I see myself more going towards DevOps with it. From the reading I did about DevOps, it seems that I would need at least some familiarity with a programing language. I am thinking if I could get a handle on JavaScript and python, I would be in pretty good shape, yes?

For real. I have 0 tolerance for people like that.

I like this! It could prove to come in handy when having to potentially pass through areas under the scrutiny of authoritarian agents of the state or against thieves.

The easiest solution is to look into using Tailscale or ZeroTier. Basically it's a cloud-based, software-defined overlay network that won't require you to setup port forwarding or anything of that nature. There is a free tier available for both.

Oh hell to no! Motherfuckers is putting that mildly. Hope karma comes to bite them in the ass! One rule: Don't fuck with cats.
