That's certainly nothing to shake a stick, OP! Very well done. The last time I compiled a kernel was back in 1999 with Slackware. If I remember correctly it was a version previous to 7.

Open source operating systems and software have put the joy back in computing for me. They've given me something to do that requires continuous learning which thereby helps stave off the major depressive and generalized anxiety disorders that I currently suffer from. Just being able to tinker is kind of like my stim.
Welcome! I am autistic as well and I am currently a desktop support engineer but I have held roles as a system admin before. I am currently taking a free online web development class called The Odin Project so I can leave the desktop support realm. At my age, I just cannot do desktop support anymore because it is overstimulating. I admire your ability to program and I hope I have what it takes to gain that skill set.
At home I use only Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. I hate Windows with a passion. So I am comfortable with the command line and shell scripting. Web development though looks like a whole new animal.
The documentation is kind of a dog's breakfast but you could try building it from source. Note that this is not easy and will require a lot of time and patience. I managed to do it on FreeBSD but never could get it working properly. Lemmy would federate but pictures wouldn't work and I eventually gave up.
I'll take all the luck anyone is willing to offer me. Thank you!
I'm really and truly all for not normalizing the grind and grind culture as I hate it. But right now, I've got to do it. I've got to put in time outside of work on this free online class on web development called The Odin Project because the thought of 20 more years in desktop support sickens me. So if I must grind out a year to improve my life, so sadly be it. I'm going to take a cat nap, recharge, and hit the books.
I add the phoenicity icons and such to liven things up a bit. They work perfectly well.
Thank you! This definitely makes sense to explore further.
ELI5 ... Whats the advantage to using Flatpaks? Are they similar to containers?
This is purely a money move. They want to sell statistical data if I had to guess. I use DoT with Unbound because fuck Verizon.
You would have to implement DNS over TLS. To do this, it's probably easiest to use Unbound and a service like Cloudflare or OpenDNS upstream. Spectrum probably hopes to harvest your DNS traffic and monetize it or maybe they're doing some preemptive sanitizing of your requests to prevent you from going to a bad site. Regardless, I am anti DNS highjacking. It's wrong on many points.
I've found that the case for most CEOs in technology which is why I call them techbros. Arguably, they don't even know business all that well either.
