Do you know those video games where you walk around with a little lantern and slowly parts of the map start to light up until you get a sense of where you are? That's what it feels like being a selftaught #sysadmin. Except the map is never ending and sometimes randomly leads you into a ravine.
Ever wonder how buildings get built to a certain elevation? Probably not, but someone like me makes a benchmark for all of the tradesmen to use. This one is for a new middle school that thousands of people will use. There is a hidden history in every structure you enter. If you ever enter one of mine, rest assured that a lot of care, pride, and even love was given throughout the building process.
I started an instance a couple of weeks ago on a digital ocean droplet and have been messing around with a few users. Cost is sustainable. Everything seems like a black box since I'm not familiar with the software yet. Setup had a lot of parts, but it wasn't hard and the instructions were great. I want to thank you @Gargron for putting Mastodon together, it is quite an achievement. A lot of people talk about writing good code and don't do anything. You went for it and did it!
