Sorry for the typo cant change.

Proxmox helper scripts maintainer who went into hospice a couple weeks ago passed. This post on gh is from his wife

I have first hand experience with this.I am late 50s and still at top of my game in my area of expertise. It was time to move on from last job last year and had zero interest from anyone. All through my network so no cold calls either. I know for a fact those positions were filled with late 30s mid 40s people.

So my answer was luckily i retired. The interesting thing is after being in tech for 35-40 years i have no interest in any of it now. Hell after 3 weeks of retirement i didnt. I have a small farm now and play with tractors and such all day.

I agree. I did really well in my career with it

I retired from tech after 40 years this spring. Im now a farmer in the middle of nowhere.

The big thing i see missing from long ago times is a real sense of community and an all in one site ( article , forums etc). They try and some are decent but there just isnt the connection and i dont think that will ever return. I think reddit and the like sucked all that away from sites and the audience is much much broader so i feel they lose some of that “likemidedness” i dunno im just old and cant really relate to the younger “techies” of today.

Oops. Early 96 if i remember correctly. Its been a while :)

Yea we worked on his old site before anadtech. Sheesh so much fun at CES with the gang in lv. Was fun times. My buddy started fusetalk by writing anadtech forums from scratch. It all moved to .net after a couple years and that when i left. Jason stayed on for years

A sad day. My buddy and I were the original developers of anandtech when it went live running on cold fusion and oracle as the backend. I started a hosting company and hosted anadtrch for a few years. Lots of memories there.

You would be very very surprised how many federal agencies still use just a pw for vpn etc access to their whole network. Or maybe you wouldn’t.

Thats blatantly false. I just left an agency with passwords on all thier unix boxed. With zero rotation policies. Its a shitshow

Just dont go SAP about as bad as oracle haveing worked in both shops.

This is exactly what im doing this year. Though im 30yrs in. I bought a farm next to my dad in idaho. Im done in march and moving cross country and growing alfalfa and potatoes

Our county did basically same thing in rural va. Our coop who the county partnered with is now expanding to 5 other counties. 1gb 75 mo. Its been down once in 4 years

Nah. Not NSA. CIA

Ill happily pay if i dont have to have 5 different subscriptions to see what i want. Its a distribution problem.

I refuse to do do all that so guess what….

5 day is closed to wild ass guess in my area. Mountains complicate everything

Personal attacks arent really called for. I disagree with op but really?

Yes. Navidrome pplay:sub and beets are my stack and they pass the spouse test.

Not even close. Its using the right tools for the job. I have over 250k tracks in flac. Navidrome and plex handle it just fine.

I agree 100%. I have dozens of friends still from those days that i chat/talk to very often. Friends from “global’ apps ? Maybe 2-3. Once you take the personal touch aspect away its all just noise really.

Would love a tildes invite

Apps are the main driver. If there isnt a very strong client ecosystem it will always be niche. I run jellyfin side by side just waiting for a good tvos client

Or legal?

I nuked 12 years of content. Yes i know its archived and like still available. But at least on the public site i withdrew my consent (my thought process/reason) for them to have my content that i can now only provide with thier completely shitty apps

Thanks for that. I cracked up

Same. 12 yr reddit user. If apollo and old are done then so am i. My usage is down anyway so it wont be that big of a deal

Its all about academic pressure where im located. Very high peer pressure in addition to the school. Basically if you arent getting atraight a’s in honors classes youre a failure. I yanked my daughter from highschool in 10th grade and let her get a ged. The panic attacks were the last straw

Yup. Ours was an odysee system. That started it for me. Been gaming ever since

I migrate my family to zohos family plan when all the crap started with the free google plan. Been about a year and no complaints. Zohos spam filters are much better too imho.

Not mine but have been using this for a while. Very nice tool for archiving youtube, soundcloud etc. Has predone setups for plex and .nfo metadata. Really a big fan. Nice little python app. Very versatile in what you can do and dev is very responsive. Give a look

Exactly. Unforgivable in my book
