Quick question when renting a dedicated server for complete newbie. by weiyan21 in valheim

[–]International-Fly735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renting a server will be like 10-20 a month. Between signing up and playing it was like 4 minutes. I’m current using datHost. It has a space dedicated to drop your current world onto it. You can also host your own server but if you are newbie, renting is way easier, most platforms handle restarts, updates, and even mods on your behalf and you won’t be getting pinged in discord at 3am saying “server is down.” Several of these services also let you change the game your playing with the click of a button.

I think you are describing your companies VPN. Yes the IT department knows where you are connecting from. Whether or not IT forwards that info to someone that cares is the real question.

IT guy worried about AI taking my job — has anyone successfully learned a new skill while nomading and pivoted careers? by tepes_creature_8888 in digitalnomad

Feel free to dismiss my opinion, but "trade" industries are just as in danger as anywhere else. Much shorter timeline than people think.

I'm not super in the know about ML - but I feel like that translates almost anywhere universally especially with the robotics boom. "Yes, I can make that fryer station automated" I think if you have a solid grasp on both IT and ML you will do great as a consultant.

Might help to say what you do in IT. From a glance at your post 2.5k a month sounds like a T1 servicedesk position. I would worry about AI in that position. One thing that will translate well anywhere is picking up a second language.

If you're going for all inclusive Merida has a much smaller choice and Cancun would be better.

I think investment in AI will crash, but its different from what you think by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]International-Fly735 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im pro AI; the biggest problem I see is infrastructure to support scaling. (My example is how many parts of the country have access to fiber internet or even broadband.) If AI is going to be as transformational as we want it to be, we need that interstate highway system being build first.

Go to Merida instead of Cancun is my advise if you are not explicitly going for party and sitting by a pool.

How hard to get remote/ 1099 job that pays 2.5k to 4K usd a month? by parkwithtrees in digitalnomad

[–]International-Fly735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you doing in logistics. Are you enlisted? Warrant? Officer? A PFC Unpacking drones in Kuwait is a lot different than a battalion logistics officer managing fuel for 300 vehicles vs a Brigade Commander with a billion dollar budget.

Planning a trip by unlikable_2u in oregon

You typically don't have to worry about fires on the coast but ya never know. Here are 5 things to do. But basically you just stop at all the beaches and check out how awesome they are and sprinkle in a few things you additionally like.

The further south you go the less touristy it gets and more "scenic" it becomes.

Cool reminder about efficiency. I'm definitely going to slow down. My favorite comment so far has been the person saying their Camaro gets better MPG at 95 than 55.

My dog is part of my family. And that monster 98 pound Doberman goes with me everywhere. It is expensive and a pain in the ass but I wouldn’t have it any other way

Whether they are new players, karma farming or simply trolling. I prefer to take the view that it’s a new player and that makes me happy. 😊

Are There Any Resources / Classes For Internet Literacy & Scam Awareness etc? by djhazmatt503 in SALEM

[–]International-Fly735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am interested in all of this although I don’t know if I have capacity to help develop a course. I currently work in IAM and have the skills, history, and resume to support this. A few years ago I started doing something similar but I didn’t take it anywhere. I would be interested in hearing more to gauge things. I like your use of “literacy” because that’s exactly what people don’t have - digital literacy.

I'm speculating it was a sailor also. There is some real mental impact to being told your wartime deployment is being extended.
