I wish more people left the /s off.

Yeah, the sailing in Valheim's kind of a slog.

I've been enjoying starmourn recently, it's pretty good.

They use carbon dioxide, unfortunately. It's not a nice way to go. Source: https://viva.org.uk/animals/slaughter-how-animals-are-killed/pig-gassing-in-the-uk/

Also it's not uncommon to gas livestock to death, I'm not sure where you got that from

Eh, not really. As long as there are still people here to talk to I'm good 👍

Ah how come? I've had to build simple stuff in unity for university, I've not run into issues.

Yeah hiking poles are game changers.

Yeah again I wouldn't recommend it, it seems a bit unnecessary. There are a huge number of environmentally friendly vegan clothing options.

I get omnivores telling me I can replace my vegan food with literal corpses. Dead animals are definitely less environmentally friendly than what I'm eating.

Actually we'd rather you didn't use either, neither of these things are good for the environment.

Yeah, actually I agree with you. PETA isn't a good source, they're like the fox news of veganism.

I'm not a fan of PETA either but that source doesn't say anything about animal rights groups claiming sheep are killed for their wool. Why lie dude?

Do you have any sources for that? I've googled and couldn't find any.

Probably not, programming languages are just tools usd to do jobs. If you like databasey bits you could look at backend work, you'd need to know some SQL like Postgres or MySql. Postgres has a pretty good tutorial on their site here.

If you do go down that route I'd pick up a front-end language as well. JavaScript, HTML and CSS are what you're after. When you've got the basics of those down learn whatever frameworks popular in your area. Probably React or Nextjs.

AI is really maths heavy, just so you're aware. Using Tensorflow or Scikit learn is fine, but unless you understand the math you'll be at a disadvantage.

Hey I can see a lot of people are recommending sysadmin roles, but reading your comments you seem like you're more interested in software development. They're two very different fields and software Dev pays a lot more on average.

It's hard to transition from sysadmin to dev, I've worked in IT as a system administrator for over a decade and I don't know anyone personally whose done it. I wouldn't count on moving into software development from IT.

Either of these positions are immeasurably better than retail :)

Source: former systems admin, now a software engineer. I went back into education for a degree in CS.

Yeah Rust can do all of those things as well, JavaScript is obviously much more common.

Lenovo ThinkPads are really well built. I'd steer clear of their ideapads though, they're the usual consumer marketed rubbish.

Yeah check out https://cronometer.com/ . It's fantastic for this.

The cost is reasonable, you can get 1tb of storage for around £10 a month. Most Seedboxes will let you install VPN servers on them as well, I'm not sure what you pay for specific VPN software nowadays. So you could theoretically replace Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc and have a VPN.

They're basically required for building ratio on private trackers nowadays.

I wouldn't bother tbh. As soon as you start using it in your torrent client other users can see your IP address anyway.

Seedboxes are a pretty good solution.
