This is a good post.

As for why people don't like systemd, it follows the kitchen-sink approach to software and does a lot of things at once.

For people new to Linux I just want to point out - for better or for worse this goes against the Unix philosophy.

Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

I have firstnamelastna.me. Can you get a little creative with the TLDs?

To answer your question tho hello@firstname.com would look better than Lastname@firstname.tld

You can also do a catch all and use anything@firstname.com (eg google@firstname.com) but those get a little spam happy.

I just looked at most (if not all) the apps I have. They all had the option to select what you see by default.

It’s easy! Don’t. It’s not possible to do.

Focus on one small area instead of the whole project. If there isn’t a “beginner” ticket selection then find one (or give yourself a goal). Figure out where that code is and start playing around with it.

As you branch out and work on more and more tickets you’ll gain more and more experience. You’ll understand how different blocks and systems interact and gain a better overall understanding of the code base in general but you’ll never be able to keep everything in your head. It’s just not needed.

And I don’t think it’s been said yet but as a former vi guy a good IDE was a huge boost to productivity. Ease of navigation around the code, intelligent searching, etc really helped out in the exploratory phase.

I’ve used monit for maybe 2 decades now. Works great and simple to use.

Holy Necro….since I’m here tho I think kbin is more set up with this. It has a microblog section although I haven’t really explored it.

Excuse me Sir. Can you please keep your voices down. This is a family establishment.

Keep studying.
