News flash, most Americans were paycheck to paycheck before inflation, too.

Got told by a teacher at a college that I need to enroll for Cisco classes. But Cisco.com offers free classes. If I complete the Cisco.com classes will I be able to get a cert in Cisco 1 ? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

What is your degree program? Or, what is your career path?

In general, when people say “Cisco” certs, they almost always mean CCNA, which is the associate level Cisco certification, and gives foundational network knowledge that is highly valuable and transferable to other IT and cyber fields.

Cisco CBROPS probably won’t get you in the door at a SOC without other work experience or certifications, unless the place is super aggressive about churning through SOC I analysts.

The water has waves! in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

Only issue with the technology is that the waves were not dynamic; they were deterministic/the same every race.

Looking for a multi-user remote desktop system in c/foss@beehaw.org

It itself is not FOSS, but Network Chuck just had a decent video on setting up ThinLinc for his editing team. I believe it is free for ten or fewer users. There is an admin function that allows you to observe what another user is doing (session shadowing).

In general, for native FOSS, I’m pretty sure you can specify the screen port in VNC, and connect multiple users to the same port, but you’d have to double check the configuration file. Can likely also be done with XRDP.

Executive Director Of WordPress Resigns. in c/technology@lemmy.world

TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.

In summary:

WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.

They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).

The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.

WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.

WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.

This pissed off a lot of people.

WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.

The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

Don’t worry about what you can or can’t do four weeks from now. Stay focused on what you need to do this week.
