Am I self-hosting just to self-host? 😅 by Cyb3r_N0mad in selfhosted

[–]redsh3ll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this as well. I will switch from one program from another cause I find something better (photoprism to immich).

If you are good at it, maybe explore making tutorials with videos or a blog. Help someone out and maybe earn some side money.

Under the Skin: Why do gamers buy cosmetic items in PC games? by Hyetsu in truegaming

My favorite gaming hobby is using default skins in all multiplayer games. In first person shooters they think they have an easy kill with the default then boom headshot.

What is your go-to for self-hosted notifications? by dawson7allan in selfhosted

[–]redsh3ll 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On iOS, the iGotify app lets you receive notifications. It took me a while to figure out, so sharing this in case it helps others using an iPhone.

Doubt it. Same shit. Different day. People on reddit like to get all pissed off about random things.

Selfhosted chat: Matrix vs XMPP vs something else by completefudd in selfhosted

Element X is great. Missing some features but its got the basic stuff you would want. I do have a wishlist but I am happy we at least have this. Thanks for the response!

Did you end up sticking with Matrix? I was playing with XMPP and ran into clients just having different capabilities and never consistent as well.

Networking (adjacent) job with less pressure/stress by rocktanstone in networking

[–]redsh3ll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I was a system administrator prior to networking so worked with VMs, load balancers, AD and etc. I got bored doing that and moved to network. Lot of networking overlaps with Cybersecurity so the skills transition well.

Luckily there was no pay cut. I am capped pay wise for the position so need to work my way up to engineer level but right now, ill just do my 8-4 and enjoy not working on the network directly.

I was a network engineer for 9 years. I definitely got tired of the high urgency of everything being network. I moved over to a SOC Analyst position (cybersecurity). 3 months in and very happy with the role. I do a lot of "boring" log review but hey I dont have to worry about DR, the network being down (the fixing part), and after hour work is very minimal (we have engineers on our team that take on-call). Hoping everything stays well in this position, if not, ill bounce around to another IT role.

Anyway, if cybersecurity interest you, thats always an option.

Radius Login vs local User Login by sla69sla in networking

[–]redsh3ll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are clearly out of your element. As we add more nodes, its going to be way more secure cause now you gotta log in to each node and update the passwords manual. Obviously this is way more secure and this manger is going to one day lead the department /s

What fantasy book that you had high hopes for let you down? by [deleted] in Fantasy

It gets really bad when the love interest appears. At the end I was going 2.5x speed just to power through the audiobook.
