All joking aside I've just scrolled random amount on scrolling ones and just hit 'end' on dropdowns for decades.

Anything that really needs my actual birthday has a proper method of authenticating who I am.

Me too. To this Day our national Electric invoice standard uses ISO-8859-15. An that's just fine until somebody feels the need to have a look with Notepad, add a random space and save the file.

Notepad then helpfully changes the encoding to UTF-16 and the whole patch errors out somewhere down the chain.

I do live in a bit of a different part of the globe. It is a losing battle here on side of humans. Trees pop up and every year there are less people around.

I like it here, may it make me a hillbilly on a flat ground or not.

It's not like Finland is a perfect country. It's just least shit one.

It's really not that hard. I'm the IT department for a medium sized bakery operation. Around 200 employees. This just means that I'm available when it really is necessary. I'm in situ or on call when orders come in and when shipments go out.

In the end I'm cheaper than outsourcing all the in house software and hardware. And I'm available at 3am when the bakers do their thing.

And yeah, I do have somebody somewhat trained in every bakery. When they're at end of their wit I'm the person they call.

In the end, I'm around 1% of the payroll. IT is not that special.

I'm ancient, websites with little to no CSS (and absolutely no client side scripts) are refreshing. I don't know if I'd like all of web to be like that, but there's something to be said for the absolute individuality of everybody writing their sites from scratch.

It's way too easy to spin up a Wordpress installation and be done with it.

Salute!

It kinda depends on on distance. I live in a country with a long shared border with Russia. Putin, putinists, Ukraine and whatthefuckcanwedoaboutit are regular and well researched debate in here.

In here American politics/elections are not in daily discussions but they surely are a thing to follow/be aware.

So here on Fediverse it is what most active users see and do. It's pretty American (and German). Far away from the war and Putin.

It's really great to be able to browse via all - these days it's very easy to bubble up in some echo chamber. I've been here since the great API apocalypse and you all have made me research so many topics I'd never looked up on my own.

Find something middle sized. I work in a bakery, around 200 employees. I do some industrial automation, in house IT support and I ended up writing ERP for the joint. I think I could get 20 to 30 percent more at a larger company but here I do what I want and not what I'm told to.

There's also the fact that in Finnish it's properly ihmissyöjä (personeater or some such). Kannibaali is quite used loan word but we do have our own.

I have not, and on a glance it looks really interesting, thank you! I will give it a spin and I really hope it is the editor of choice from now on.

I will not make vim my sweet as it is optimized for us keyboard. Most of the shortcuts are awful in my native (Finnish) layout. As much of a heretic I am, there is a place for mouse and windowing display managers.

What I do miss from the Redmont dystopia is Notepad++. Can do anything, can be explained over the phone.

That's the way it works. I had an uncle with multiple sclerosis (spelling?). He used to get his PC infected with all sorts of ransomware back in late 90's. For him credit card was the answer, luckily his siblings mostly got somebody to clean the shit up.
