The best way i found was obsidians import which was what i was trying to avoid. I was making standalone markdown files and after the import i needed to do some cleaning since obsidian or onenote did OCR on the images to create alt text but quotes in the alt text broke image links.

So only good tutorials/ guides are allowed?

How does one get from shitty to good if they can't try to begin with?

Does this apply to other things, like coding, as well?

Just make sure to read their FAQ

  1. Site wasn't properly reflexive for mobile
  2. If this is a portfolio then i would remove a lot of stuff like "watch list" and "current obsession". The focus should be on your work and future projects
  3. Notes are ok for a start but can be improved. I think a "posts" or "blog" would be better section title, and the content should try to teach something you've learned rather than be the notes you took for a subject. The difference is that teaching reinforces your understanding of the topic. So pick something smaller from those topics and teach it. I wouldn't redo your current notes necessarily, but going forward i would pick a more focused topic and teach.
  4. i would then move the "blog" or "posts" to your front page to show the most recent content and then link to /posts where the rest of it can be found. Or highlight projects on front page instead depending on what you want focus to be.
  5. move your front page content to a more "resume" section that includes a section for the tools you know. And still think about the length/space of this page. Like a printed resume, too long is bad. So make sure it outlines things nicely

Overall if it was just a personal site id say its ok. But as a portfolio site you have some work to make it align with your goals. Good luck!

What is the point in being Archbased and only now supporting Btrfs out the box?

It sounds like ext4 is still an option during install, the change is just that the default filesystem is btrfs.

Is Arch Linux the right fit for a newbie to Linux? The right answer is "it depends", not "never". Would I recommend Arch to my mom? No. Would I recommend it to my programmer colleague who already lives in the Powershell? Sure, why not.

Yup, i had a lot of people tell me that arch wasn't a good beginner distribution, and had some friends try to talk me out of it. But i was planning to move to Linux for over a year and had set up Linux servers in the past. Just hadn't used one for my main PC. I've been on arch for over a month and it's been fine. I still wouldn't recommend it to every beginner but I'm not going to say it's never appropriate.

  1. User devices (main workstations, phone photos, etc)
  2. Local NAS (sync w/ #1, backup to #3)
  3. Cloud backup w/ commercial provider

They added 2 weeks to it.

Here's a txt summary of the books

And a shorter txt summary

I have had the same experience. Have used all three at some point but mostly use nginx for new servers

(Not an admin)

Do you mean blogging literally within lemmy, or linking to an external website? (Edit- i see you mean within lemmy to cross post to reddit. Leaving rest of my post for some thoughts anyway)

My advice would be to set up a static website and use that for your blog. like hugo but there's a few good options out there to generate static websites. This way if an instance ever does disappear then you still own your content. This also means you aren't limited to a specific community and could share a post where it most directly relates rather than just an individual community where you dump everything.

If you're wanting comments directly on your posts then some people have integrated comments into their blogs by using a federated platform (one example using mastodon). So for instance they make a post on lemmy or mastodon/etc and then in their blog they link the blogpost to it. Now there can be discussion on your blog/lemmy and you aren't at risk of losing so your posts. There's also other ways to do comments like utteranc.es or remark42 too.

tldr IMO if you're wanting to build your own blog/platform its better to have ownership of it and not keeping it only on someone else's server.

I assume Yale isn't broke but idk. Universities are just like any other business where they will cut products that aren't making money or performing as well as others. The article talks about the course needing many teacher assistants to field student questions and hold labs, and that originally these costs were covered by a donation which has now run out.

It also could just be some internal politics and blaming it on financials is the public reason.

But you're not wrong that student tuition costs should theoretically go to the courses they sign up for

 

Hi all, I'm relatively new to this instance but reading through the instance docs I found:

Donations are currently made using snowe’s github sponsors page. If you get another place to donate that is not this it is fake and should be reported to us.

Going to the sponsor page we see the following goal:

@snowe2010's goal is to earn $200 per month

pay for our 📫 SendGrid Account: $20 a month 💻 Vultr VPS for prod and beta sites: Prod is $115-130 a month, beta is $6-10 a month 👩🏼 Paying our admins and devops any amount ◀️ Upgrade tailscale membership: $6-? dollars a month (depends on number of users) Add in better server infrastructure including paid account for Pulsetic and Graphana. Add in better server backups, and be able to expand the team so that it's not so small.

Currently only 30% of the goal to break-even is being met. Please consider setting up a sponsorship, even if it just $1. Decentralized platforms are great but they still have real costs behind the scenes.

Note: I'm not affiliated with the admin team, just sharing something I noticed.
