I just solved the problem by switching to Manjaro.

The Shield TV should still dramatically outperform the chipset in the Nokia box. Shield will do everything it does and more, and runs a higher Android version.

Another chaotic neutral here. I need my vertical display.
Thanks for the info, good to know winter won’t be any concern.
I should clarify, I used a 1/8 bit but I drilled two holes side by side at each end of the window and then drilled/tapped out the middle to join them, rectangular and closer in size to the external holes. They’re horizontal notches probably between 1/4 and 3/8 wide (not exact, but nothing’s perfect), but 1/8 high.
Even the C1 has its issues. I keep mine locked down to LAN only at the router and it works great, but it runs like shit and has ad notifications on startup if it can reach the internet.
My wife and I have somewhere around 450 hours in it (each). It’s fantastic.
You're probably right with the bullshit going on now. IBM just loves fucking up everything it touches. You wouldn't believe the headaches all the RHEL 9 crap and the end of CentOS has caused for some of my customers. AlmaLinux seems like a decent alternative, but not sure how well it's going to be received long term.
I'll add that I don't know if there are good certs for it, but SQL admins are pretty much always in demand, and I hear that kinda thing can pay well. I knew some folks in business Intelligence (BI) that did nothing but SQL and outputting charts and data for analytics and they made bank. Seemed like a pretty neat job too, I have to admit. It's cool to take data like that and turn it into something useful for everyone else.
And having occasionally mucked around in postgres DBs, yeah, good on them. SQL can be both completely simple, and at the same time, ridiculously complex and involved, all depending on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go. Blows my mind all the things you can do with it with so few commands.
This person got in somewhere good early on and rode that career train. These opportunities rarely exist today unless you arre a charismatic super talented genius.
Not really true. It takes a bit of knowing your worth, advocating for yourself in interviews, and job hopping as needed for pay raises every year or two while continuing to build your skills both on the job and outside of it. IT isn't an industry that lends itself to job stability and high pay if you stay in a role long term, and stagnation can certainly be a factor if you decide to stop learning things.
Also. it's still very possible to get in, but focus these days is DevOps, automation, virtualization, and more recently, AI. You won't make bank in some shitty low tier helpdesk role.
A good start would be certification path to pick up some straightforward "guaranteed to get you work" kind of certs like:
- Linux+
- Network+
- VMware VCP-DCV (and later with experience maybe VCP-CMA)
- Any Redhat cert
- Security+ if you're interested in cybersecurity and/or federal work (USA, not sure about other places)
Alternately, getting a few programming languages under your belt is totally doable for free with Youtube and other online courses and then doing your own projects with public repositories on Github for prospective employers to see. Getting a foot in the door with dev is gonna be very luck of the draw though.
You definitely wont' start out making a wage that high on the Ops side, but finding a foot in the door at between $25 and $30 an hour shouldn't be hard once you get some bare minimum experience under your belt.
College grads may have an easier time, but I wouldn't know, I dropped out and went the certification/experience route some 15+ years ago.
It's a variation on what my wife calls me. It's been my username on forums and such for a long time.
Really great theme. In fact, the soundtracks for Guild Wars and Guild Wars (and all the expansions) are great.
Interesting note on this one - this theme was reused in Guild Wars 2 as the town theme for the new/rebuilt Lion's Arch.
I've been using a Boox Nova 2 since late 2020 and I like it, but it's on Android 9 and won't be receiving OS updates. I also no longer need the Android features I thought might be useful.
I got a Kindle Paperwhite Signature on the last Prime sale and it arrived today. Liking it so far, and the display is quite a bit more crisp looking than the Boox (probably due to the Nova 2's Wacom layer).
I also have an older Paperwhite 4, but I only really use that if I'm traveling and will be out of the house for a while. The screen is too small for comfort with general use.
Shit.
