After I started my first #IT job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in #RPG, for writing down my #sysadmin skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.

I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime

I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job. Updates would be easier...

Il y aurait il un.e #geek dans le quartier qui me conseille une tablette + application #opensource ou #logicielslibres pour la #vente directe de mon #pain à la ferme ?

Spent all afternoon battling webdev trying to place elements in a masthead correctly + the same in all OS/browsers.

Used ChatGPT to analyze the problems and even rewrite half my CSS - with, admittedly, some good ideas in amongst the cruft - but it looks like an unsolvable problem with no more reason to blame Brave than to blame Linux in general.

I should claim bonus points for remembering this is a Karnaugh map - things I first learned about in about 1989.

It's so rad seeing more accessories and enclosures utilizing NVME drives. It's super easy to add HUGE storage to a laptop or mini PC.

"Nous ne sommes pas là pour faire le concours des geeks". Les arguments pétés du député LR Marleix sur l'amendement 8ter pour faire avaler le cassage du chiffrement sur les messageries. Ses camarades élus n'ont pas goûté son argumentation (cc @LaQuadrature). Un bisou à tous nos petits geeks sur Masto

TIL: My computer is roughly 9,000,000% faster than what Mr. Babbage believed his engine would be, at multiplying two 20 digit numbers.

Computer kids in the 90s: I cracked the copy protection on Test Drive 3 using only DEBUG.COM

Computer kids now: What's your favourite package manager for nodejs?

No wonder geeks turn to farming instead.

for those of you who know about web dev . . .

I’m a 90% stack dev (amateur, in my spare time!)

currently I’m building a new web site (OK, four new web sites to be precise)

the HTML works

the PHP works

the mySQL works

I even have some images (with a bit of help and a bit of anguish from an AI image generator)

2 weeks so far

now for the CSS bit

CSS is not my favourite bit

this may take me another 2 weeks!

Early access on the Patreon! The Xiaomi 15 is here, but the phone I have is NOT ready for a review! https://www.patreon.com/posts/xiaomi-15-not-123472388

For how expensive this new 8 Elite chip from Qualcomm is, Xiaomi sent us devices that are scoring behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in my tests. This is not an optimized experience yet.

Wouldn't you know it, we got a DAY ONE patch on the reveal of this phone! Any review out now is ALREADY OBSOLETE! HURRAH! We get to do DOUBLE the work in covering this phone!

Une étude scientifique sur 10 000 lancés de dés (manuellement!) montre que les dés du commerce ne sont pas parfaitement equiprobables.

Les dés avec des angles arrondis ne sont pas plolis de façon homogène.

Certains dés moulés ont un défaut sur la face au point d'extrusion.

We techies really are nerds living in our own little bubble. Every time I talk to friends outside of IT, they just laugh at the things we take for granted. In our world, it’s completely normal to assume that everyone has their own domain, self-hosts everything, avoids anything proprietary like it’s the plague, and probably has a dozen side projects running on some self-built server in their closet.

But then there’s my friend, a mechanic, who finds this absolutely hilarious. To him, it’s like expecting every car mechanic to not only have their own repair garage at home but also to manufacture their own tools and, while they’re at it, maybe even start their own car brand. It sounds ridiculous when you put it that way - but to us, that’s just how things should be!
