@dev_Paul Either would be cool. I took a class on planing wood with a friend and then I preceded to do nothing with it. He then really got into woodworking and redid a lot of house.
How is your software dev journey going btw? Are you still primarily focusing on web dev?
@dev_Paul thanks :). It’s not where “I see myself in 5 years” yet.
Someone recently told me they don’t like to think of retirement because they are living for today. I get it, but I’m active somewhat in life. I like what I’m doing but it’s fun to think ahead

Killer domains available for the taking thread (save me from myself):
acab.cafe
@dota 我想用Mastodon练习汉语。你学英语的话，我们可谈话英语！
@ColeOnRails No worries! I learned a lot from it and they do a great job going over practical thing and also higher level concepts like how you should organize the app code-wise.
@sigsegv Yeah, I go to a C++ user group and the concepts fly right over my head for now. My associates program has a mandatory C++ course that I hope will sort me out lol.
@neurobongo Ugh, then I hate it too. People should not have to do every job at once.
Calculated it just now. Only about 8950 days until I can retire.

Make the net weird again. Hand write sites like it’s the 90s. Pick interesting domain names and make fan sites or random knowledge known to everyone. Don’t monetize anything. Spearhead new protocols like Gemini. Make mods for games on your site. Make FAQs for obscure games no one knows about. Make public software services available to anyone. Make a news site about a really random subject. Create music in all kinds of different formats. Most of all, do it because you want to!
Thanks, @lucifargundam, those other features you mentioned I wasn’t aware of!

Correct. Accessing the Qoto instance via browser gives you access to it's features as well as access to qoto's other services like video and audio hosting.
@gooseus Welcome, sometimes I feel like I can’t even save myself. :) Love to see devs joining qoto!
I am just starting out in embedded software dev, but when I get some free time I would really like to learn the web of things!

Hello Mastodon/Qoto hoping there will be some interesting conversations here and less meglomaniacs pretending they're the savior of humanity.
Been doing web development for almost 20 years, currently working with #Typescript / #Javascript, #MongoDB, #Neo4j, #Angular, and #NestJs.
I'm interested in #Philosophy, #Politics, #History, #Complexity, #Physics, and #ComputerScience.
I have thoughts on #collapse and our current moment, but I'm feeling gluttonous at almost 500 chars for my first toot.
@Decad3nce I am on iOS and started out on the app but was told that the web version is good and gives you access to qoto specific features.
For example if you’re on the web, you can click the “…” on a toot and then select the option to browse that persons, instance’s timeline.
The mobile site is very usable too!

Adding and removing dual boot partitions via Windows 11

@kristinmbranson That’s a cool product. I had some chalk based dry erase markers where the tip could be pumped that worked pretty well.
I always lose my writing utensils way before they wear out so I didn’t fully reap the benefits of them. :)

I never did proper #introduction post in the 3 years since joining. I'm a nerd of all trades (and master of none), so I'll just pick some:
I like working with #embedded systems, and linking them across the Internet (which some call #IoT). As I want those to be efficient, interoperable and secure, I spend much time around the #CoAP stack of protocols -- both contributing to its specs at #IETF, and writing #FreeSoftware implementations in #RustLang, #Python and on @RIOT_OS (in C).
