    You’re young. I switched jobs and profession twice already. For me, it was the other way around and back again. Came from programming (10 years) then Linux adminstration (2 years) and decided to do Geography. Studied it and the programming skills helped me there, too.

    There is always something you can take with you to the next job or profession.

    I wasn’t lucky to get a job where I can use my Geography studies so I am now almost 2 years in web programming. I did not have much experience in the field, but I found a place where my Linux adminstration knowledge is useful and I improved web backend programming skills (PHP) on the job.

    Soft skills count, too. Reliablity, ability to work in a team. Recruiters look for those things.

    And btw. I got my Linux knowledge initially only from personal unpaid studies and projects in my free time.









  • VSCode has theme support; there are light themes, that are not so bright and dark themes that aren’t that dark.

    I prefer a very dark gray, a very good font (Iosevka, tuned to my needs) and an appropiate font size (because wearing glasses).

    I hope, I never get this senior title. It is complete BS to me. And I am glad, that my junior status is gone for good and I have a job title that does not try to tell something about my expierience!







  • Granted, they have config files, but they suggest using the gui for beginners. I don’t know. WTF!!

    Using multiple nginx servers can increase robustness and ease deployments. I never wrote anywhere that I would use one server for one application. In fact, I do the opposite thanks to nginx. But there is a point when someone wants to split up different types of web applications, for instance some of them need node, the others need php or something entirely different that would conflict with the other two. This way configs can be changed during a deployment in production while others don’t need to be touched and unaffected services are not interrupted not even for a very short time.


  • I agree with the author: Only GUI config? WTF!

    If a gui does make the configuration harder then it is a bad tool for the job. Your claim is partly, that OLS makes things easier. I think, the struggle with the gui config illustrates that it doesn’t. If cannot debug a problem with that gui or do not know what an abstract gui setting does, then it actually pretty bad.

    Btw. Nginx configuration can be separated into seperate files and through proxy_pass seperated onto seperate servers.



  • Actually, I have it the other way around. I bought the same keyboard I use at home for work as well. Imagine, you have to switch employers and get a new keyboard in the office. A nightmare!

    I am using a Planck keyboard (40% of the keys a regular keyboard has). This is way outside your 50,- €$£ price range, but I think, it is worth it: Fully customizable key layout and different more silent switches for work.

    I never would go wireless for a keyboard that is not connected to a TV. That reminds me, that I hate the mouse I have to use at work, it is wireless! I guess I buy a second G203 for work, too (without RGB). [=
