Yeah, just heard from them. &#34;After reviewing your resume, your multiple years of Linux, Open Source, and hardware experience is impressive but, unfortunately, not the experience we are looking for.&#34;<br/><br/>30+ years of Linux, security, hardware and Open Source experience isn&#39;t what they&#39;re looking for when it comes to a Linux Technical Support Engineer position. It really seems that the only way to get a job in any Open Source company is to be known in the Open Source community and, sadly, I&#39;m not well known.<br/><br/>That is it, folks. At the age of 58, I officially give up on the tech world. I have zero ideas what I will do now. For the past 30+ years, this is all I have ever known. Currently, my existence is the very definition of shitty life. Should be a great weekend ahead. 2025-06-06T16:56:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqcpvucdx0v0gj85zpfm7wjmrjg7vcdjqpkcewgqcveje5dvx89dszyrnwnwc547967l9hyhu4ldy7wlrfdl8c5lp5nr2uchxzynqfe0np5jsa0lj I&#39;ve been with Cynderhost Web Hosting for years, and during most of that time, I couldn&#39;t say enough good things about them. The price was right, my shared hosting sites were fast. And I mean, really fast. Lately, though, the hosting has gone down hill. Not sure if they are just focusing more on the higher tier hosting that is more expensive or the hosting just isn&#39;t as good as it used to be. My sites have been running much slower over the past few months. And I mean, noticeably slower. I&#39;ve reached out to them multiple times and each time, they say they&#39;ve done something in the background and my sites should now be faster. They&#39;re not. Listen, I know it&#39;s shared hosting and I shouldn&#39;t complain, but the sites used to be fast. What&#39;s changed?<br/><br/>Looks like I have to start looking for new hosting but cost is always the stopper. I&#39;m unemployed and, quite frankly, broke. Unfortunately, the only way I can use hosting is to use shared hosting, which will probably just suck. I should just get used to it, I guess?<br/><br/>Ah, unemployment. I don&#39;t recommend it.<br/><br/>#webhosting #hosting 2025-06-06T14:54:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9lrm75nsq0a4ul5qhhs2qpe3m3jhqguhwlyjq4f856f5x7m00a2czyrnwnwc547967l9hyhu4ldy7wlrfdl8c5lp5nr2uchxzynqfe0np5h67xd4 Anyone know what happened to the <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub17j940q3af3vc6y7fjp2vz4hk5jjh9y9a6q4xywzq8da3lzqw5uhqrc9p5j" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Ubuntu Security</span> (<span class="italic">npub17j9…9p5j</span>)</a></span> podcast?

The reasoning was that as a uBlock user, I was concerned that uBlock would stop working, at some point, with Vivaldi since it&#39;s Chromium based. Well, leaving Vivaldi was a mistake. I see that now. The folks at Mozilla are absolutely clueless as to what their users really want in a browser. They made the decision to end some services so they could focus on AI in Firefox, and this is only one issue of so many. <br/><br/>The small team at Vivaldi know and understand what users want in a browser and they are constantly building and adding these features all the time. Do I wish that Vivaldi was 100% Open Source? Of course! But I can look past this because the team at Vivaldi are awesome, the community is awesome, and they are building a browser that users want. It&#39;s really this simple. Oh, and with Vivaldi, Linux isn&#39;t a second-class citizen. For me, as a 30+ year user of Linux, this is hugely important. And for this reason, they deserve my support. <br/><br/>#vivaldi #firefox #linux 2025-05-31T02:27:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2s4rqk5gfjjjc5ujex2jg7fngalrh90j46c8cw6xcns9xusesk6szyrnwnwc547967l9hyhu4ldy7wlrfdl8c5lp5nr2uchxzynqfe0np5y326he I donated to <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1rkw6a3qcgxxzmgrmysn48umna28za0jvaz2ev72wmycgvcvkmp0sa45q62" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Signal</span> (<span class="italic">npub1rkw…5q62</span>)</a></span> again, and I think you should, too.

Both my laptop and desktop are running the latest Fedora and have been for about 3 months. I may go with CentOS on the server soon. Just not sure how much I really want to tackle that project right now. <br/><br/>Why the change? Pretty simple: Community. The Fedora community is nothing short of awesome, and in the 30+ years that I&#39;ve been running Linux, I&#39;ve always said that community in an open source project is the most important part of the project. <br/><br/>#community #linux #fedora #redhat<br/><br/>UPDATE:<br/><br/>I feel that I need to add a bit more context to this post. A few people have commented asking what I think is wrong with Debian and why the change. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Debian. It&#39;s an awesome Linux distribution with a great community. I&#39;ve been running Linux for more than 30 years and the past 15 years, Debian has been running my hardware. I just want to try something new for a while. I still have Debian running on my server and another desktop that I do a lot of testing on. I will never completely stop using Debian. 2025-05-19T18:31:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0v4crxgwexrn5n7t6txq6jkc2sujwra93t6urmxlhs5uedt27swqzyrnwnwc547967l9hyhu4ldy7wlrfdl8c5lp5nr2uchxzynqfe0np5wr2j23 After canceling Amazon a month ago, I thought my Amazon Unlimited Music subscription would cancel, too.
