The last time you were wearing a hat, what type was it? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

An Akubra which I have had for about 18 years. It's like a cowboy hat but Australian and made from rabbit fur felt.

I had no idea this had a name! When I was a small child we lived by the coast and my dad had a small yacht, one day I remember the keel lodged on a sandbar and he used the anchor to pull it free. Unfortunately we moved inland when I was 5 and dad sold the yacht.

Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs in c/technology@lemmy.world

Not to mention most "8-bit" CPUs had a 16 bit address bus.

Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I worked for a small software company for 6 years after finishing uni. I was the first person the founders hired. It was a great time and I learnt a lot and got to make a lot of decisions and had a lot of freedom.

But they didn't pay anywhere near as much as a corporate job so when I got offered significantly more money to work for a very large company the small company couldn't match it and pushed me to take it as a huge career and development opportunity.

It's been great working at the big company but I really miss the culture and involvement I had at the small company.

Your first distribution in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Ubuntu sometime around 2008 or 2009 after there was an install disk in a PC magazine. I didn't use it for long and went back to windows, but I experimented again with Debian a few years later and these days I daily Manjaro.

Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

+1 for namecheap. I'm happy with them as a registrar. Their support has always been fast and helpful if I have an issue. I use CloudFlare for DNS as they were easier to setup something for dynamic IP.

Best way to dockerize a static website? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I just use nginx alpine, if freenginx proves to be the better option later it should be fairly trivial to switch the base image.

I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I'm Australian, I hate the way our government treats our healthcare system and continues to make decisions in favour of companies and to the detriment of the Australian people, but holy hell is our system better than in the US.

Each time I read an article like this I'm glad to live here. This is never a decision we would need to make, we wouldn't even question going to the ER in a case like this.
