So the issue here for me is lack of pay.

Asking me this through straight employment is an agreement that protects both the worker and employer in some capacity.

Asking this through volunteer work makes me uneasy.

I’m completely happy to volunteer my time to an org that I believe in, Lemmy being a ptime example, but not willing to do so in the case of requiring this information up front.

As you should be!

After quite a long while working with someone to this capacity, it would be strange not to be on first name basis, but I haven’t worked with you.

I’ve been on the internet for a very long time, and it takes quite a bit of rapport to build before I’m comfortable giving out my first name, let alone my full name.

I definitely understand where you’re coming from, just a stretch at the start for me personally.

Really love the admin team though!

While not strictly required

Technically true, but verbiage leads me to believe its more required than not.

You are correct, but the topic is applying as an admin, so I replied to the topic.

Aye it’s the humanity problem.

Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of “group”.

Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.

I’d be happy to apply, but requiring a CV and full background check in addition to a video call interview is a bit steep for me.

Just the video call I’d absolutely be applying, I genuinely believe in Lemmy and want to see it succeed, but not to the point that I’m willing to put this much information into non-employment hands.

Good luck on the search.

Edit: I can’t read and actively also trying to put my 5 month old to bed.

Please ignore dumb dumb (me)

Sys admin here for quite some time.

This is pretty typical in our field I’ve found, because that’s what it takes to move up in this field.

Non-CS just believe the “oh you work with computers? So you must know how to hack Facebook” logic, so they have to either say they don’t know how and look stupid, or just rattle off some absolute bonkers shit that uses acronyms and such above the non-CSs head.

This eventually bleeds into their reality and becomes a character trait.

It’s more a human/culture problem than a CS problem but I get what you mean :)

Bullet dodged?

Spreading democracy for the glory of Super Earth!

My Summer Car?

I remember when I first used Tor. I was like 14.

Found the silk road when it was still up. Poked around for a bit. Cool.

Next onion site I found was also cp. That image is burned into my skull forever. Uninstalled Tor and never went back. Hard pass.

And you enjoy ease of use friend.

Of course it’s fiddly. It’s self hosting - comes with the territory.

That said, I just had a son. Doing pihole lets me block sites per-device so I can kill sites on devices he’ll eventually get, VS leave them accessible for devices from mom and I.

If you can self host, I recommend Pihole (or some other self-serving dns) with hosts.

I use Steven Black’s myself: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Hello fellow admin.

Feel the same way. The most secure network is only as secure as its dumbest user.

Sadly we’re still a couple hundred years off of that being less of a concern :/.

This is what I’m waiting for before I host my own as well. Rather not have to worry that much about constantly having to admin out CSAM.

Holy shit the name is perfect.

Can I beg to become a Lem-pire once I use the site? Instructions not clear.

I didn’t know white engrams dropped in Destiny?

Honestly I’m not yet in that camp. Sure for short term it is for a fact much better than analog smokes, but we know nothing of the long term.

Gotta remember: for quite a while, doctors recommended cigarettes. Sure tech and general knowledge have improved drastically since then, but the method of proving a hypothesis is still done the same way: testing.

I hope it is better. Maybe I’m just getting jaded in my age.
