You really don’t.

Just go outside.

Dear god.

Ah, the humans.

On one hand they’re all for peace and unity but on the other hand they’re still using platforms owned by a man who had a hand in orchestrating military killings, swinging the US elections, facilitating Brexit etc and a man who, amongst other things, has been photographed partying with Maxwell, Murdoch, Trump and all the other evil fucks.

Oh god no, not Salesforce. No no no.

All of our other products.

Speaking of cool projects; build a lemmy app. It can be console app for simplicity.

Not a bad shout. I see wefwef is a webapp. That could be worth exploring.

Thanks.

I’m not giving up a 20+ year career in IT just because I haven’t yet found a way to learn how to code.

There’s more than one way to teach a subject and it would be nice to have even a basic understanding of the mess I am supposed to be supporting,

My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills. I have none, by the way, and I don’t even know where to start.

Some of the usual responses when I state this:

“Automate your work” - I work in Salesforce. Have you seen Salesforce? I’m not a multi faceted systems administrator constantly updating DNS records or working in Active Directory.

“Write a cool app” - What cool app? What is “cool”?

“Open dev tools and look around” - Why? Specifically, why?

Also, learning programming is BORING. Most of the courses I’ve tried are so so stale and they aaallll end up explaining concepts in the same way.

“This is a fleeble and it holds the sping, the sping tells the plus plus that it must do what the herbug says”.

k.

Wow. That is a crazy backstory.

Thank you for taking the time to explain.

Thank you for responding.

I agree, the Ansible route is very daunting and does negate the user friendly appeal of Federated social media. But, it’s early days and I am hoping there will be an emergence of one-click installs soon.

This is digressing somewhat but what’s the deal with Lemmy / China / CCP? I’m a relatively normal 40 something. I just want to use the internet in a normal fashion.

I’m not alone.

Compute was never an issue. I had my instance hosted on Hetzner and it ran just fine.

My concern is the storage, as described above, constantly checking disk space, cronjobs, purging etc etc

And whether I host a single user or a multi user instance is neither here or there. My question still stands.
