I’ve been in the IT field for almost 25 years and I still feel stupid about various things.

The point is to learn and grow. And then feel stupid again.

The best lessons I’ve learned about IT is that knowing where to start is the hardest thing. But with experience, you kind of get an idea of where things tend to go. But you need to have a level of background.

I’ll give you a recent example for me: I recently got a new android phone and have been curious about MagSafe. I know nothing about it except that it was a magnetic plug for old MacBooks before they switched to USB C. I didn’t quite understand how you can have a MagSafe pop socket that you can use to charge via Qi wireless charging.

Then…like an idiot, I realized that it’s a fucking magnet. You just pull the pop socket off and charge the phone.

You don’t know what you don’t know until you do.

Any case, feel dumb. We all do. Learning is the best thing.

This. I do NOT recommend using a Wi-Fi card for any server related activities.

I’m locking this post since the same link was the same headline was submitted an hour before this one.

I’ve actually given this considerable thought.

The MAGA party seems pretty easy to trick. They don’t believe in facts so you could literally be a progressive behind closed doors, so long as you’re racist in public.

The problem isn’t necessarily the voting bloc. The problem is the Republican establishment. You start voting with the Democrats and Republicans more influential than you will start batting at you. You could fight this by calling out fake news, that your opponents are part of the problem. They are Washington insiders, part of the swamp.

But you really have to have the cult personality to do so.

Has anyone tried to file FOIA request against DOGE?

Not that it would go anywhere under this administration but having a record would be nice.

Not OP, but I always prefer bash over python since it’s “lower level”. But that’s just a preference.

Huh…TIL that post pings do not notify the user.

I promise to use my powers for good. 🏴‍☠️🦜

But I wanted to be racist. How can I be both racist and a capitalist at the same time?
