People get used to things they understand so they don’t want to learn. Frustration builds as you get older, so I am glad I started a long time ago, and I have a lot of respect for people who are willing to learn constantly and are patient. I learn(ed) from trial and error, I like poking the bear and being able to see what works/doesn’t and why. The responses I got regarding lack of linux usage is that people don’t like spending time troubleshooting, or they get super jaded and just want something that works then and there, just so they don’t think too much about it. But now the irony is that windows will piss them off so much they will have no choice but to learn the distro they choose. It’s like vim, at first it seems strange, but once you learn it you will never look back. Learning is done as long as there is curiosity and need involved.
i don’t see any of his personality, just a cat who is really in want of a treat.
That’s also part of his personality, isn’t it? He’s food driven, nothing wrong with that. He’s going to learn and adapt to his environment, and if that environment includes you teaching him tricks, he’s going to learn and adapt to that. If you teach him tricks, he might do them on his own in hopes of getting food instead of eating plants, or he might not.
This is really up to you, if you have the budget/space for dedicated hardware then you will benefit from it. However, if you are on a budget/space constraints then you could setup some containers in docker either running on the system or in a VM then transfer them over in the future.
When I got into Linux I read every physical book I could. Physical books on a subject tend to be written to have chapters that cover whole material. When you try and learn from multipe ebooks you randomly found online you end up cherry picking bits and pieces and never actually read every chapter, so you miss fundamentals.
Maybe you would benefit by reading a PAPER copy of a book about Linux and the especially command line. Linux is a very command line oriented system so maybe trying to tackle some of the struggles head on will help you unlock apt any other tools.
No sure about 64gb, but for performance/watt and reliable Linux I can really recommend the Amd p16s and t16(s?) machines from Lenovo. Have about seven in the office and they are excellent.
I too, as someone in devops, am wondering what you need that much memory for. Do you simply really like VMs? :)
Also, have you considered doing the really heavy stuff remotely? Whenever I need desktop type power (16 physical cores and 128gb memory) I simply wake the desktop, ssh into it and do it there.
I have a remote dev environment with 128GB RAM. This is for occasions when I don’t have access to that environment. And yes, I run a lot of POCs and tests, and have absolutely ran out of RAM even at 64GB.
Thank you for the Lenovo recommendation. I’ll take a look!
What did it for me was reading the books to my favourite movies and TV shows. It was at least 15 years of no books until I found The Expanse and now I would consider myself a regular reader.
As for where to get books I’d suggest a local library (free) or eBay (cheap).
I started on lemmy.ml, as I code a lot. I got a lemmy.world account when I found a lot of communities there I wanted to join and a lemmy.studio account for music communities. That was a few min before I learned how to subscribe cross-instance. (I couldn’t find the communities) I could clean up teh accounts, but nah, couldn’t think of a reason why.
Now lemmy.world is my main instance with lemmy.ml as 1st backup and lemmy.studio as special interest. (and I found a Dutch instance)
No, fennec the android lemmy app by me. I wasn’t aware of browser when I chose that name and so far no better ideas were suggested, so we’re going by fennec rn
This will be how everybody communicates at work in the future. You tell what you want to say to an AI. It will send a five paragraph polite mail to your coworker. The coworker doesn’t read the mail, but has his AI put a summary in his inbox.
So instead of just telling each other what we want to say, it’s wrapped in layers of bullshit. Which serves no purpose because nobody reads them anyways.
AI powered brain-chips is a concept that terrifies me but also fascinates me because it would avoid this kind of useless bullshit.
Imagine having a very advanced AI in your brain that knows you really well (because well, it’s in your brain). You could have concepts and information explained in the most effective way for you, or (and this really is scary) directly written in your brain so that you suddenly just know something. Your colleagues would just have to think the information that you need to receive, and then their chip and your chip would communicate so that the message gets “translated” to your own “thought language”.
I think that’s the future we will face if we don’t wipe ourselves out of existence first. The “cool” thing is it would be an actual evolutionary leap that would make us something we can’t really grasp at the moment.
The scary thing is it would of course be a shit sold by corporations to transmit ads directly to your brain or some shit

Not sure about any that try to be exactly like Facebook. The closest off the top of my head is Pixelfed which is meant to be like instagram if that seems like something you’d be interested in.
