I don't work in IT/Tech at all, but I've been an enthusiast since I was young, at first piggybacking off of my dad, then developing my own interests as I got into high school and college. I started self-hosting because I found it interesting and as time progressed I saw the benefits of operating things locally. I only host things within my own network though, because I'm not yet comfortable with how to safely set up external access.

While I know you're being funny, for those unaware, the snakes being referred to with St Patrick were a euphemism for the non-Christian beliefs in Ireland.

Teacher here; this is the first thing I do on day one with new students! You want to build a classroom community of mutual respect; failure to do so makes for a hostile classroom and a wasted year.

My first was SUSE followed shortly thereafter by the initial release of Fedora Core. Lots of distro hopping and tinkering later, I run LMDE these days as my daily driver and I distro hop on the other computers in my collection.

It's my daily driver; the benefits of mint with the stability of a Debian base.

Ah, what a shame, he had some good stuff.

I'm assuming you're talking about the YouTuber; It's been since before the pandemic that I've watched AvE, what did he do?

For me it was during the development of Diablo 3 when Blizzard acted like a bunch of children over community comments/concerns about the art style/direction of the game. I don't feel like I've missed out on much, honestly.

https://what-if.xkcd.com/20/ towards the end he covers this sort of scenario in the form of a diamond sphere.

Perhaps not as full featured as the others, but I host wiki.js for my knowledge base on my local server.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

 

This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Google, but it's a reminder to get off of their services if you're concerned about your data privacy. A Slashdot commenter wondered whether this also applies to the contents of emails on gmail. I'm going to assume it does.
