  • Everyone deserves an initial base level respect, regardless of their age, that ammount of respect can either be increased, decreased or lost entierly, all based on their actions.

    I do not subscribe to the “respect your seniors” mantra, seniors can be complete dipshits just everyone else can.

    That being said, it is dumb to not listen to experience from a senior, though they will probably have shown through their actions that they should be listened to.








  • I am an IT guy, this means that I work with IT for a living, I spend my days banging a spanner against Microsoft 365, Entra and other systems and make them do stuff.

    I don’t want to pay for the privilege of doing the same on my free time for no pay.

    Now, I see that you are a lemmy.world user, let me ask you the same question:, why haven’t you created your own instance yet?





  • IT guy here, if there is one thing I wish for, there are many days where I wish I was just a cleaner, to actually be able to complete a task that is visible for a change and not just stare me blind at a half functioning JIRA board, a broken active directory and list of 365 teams almost as long as the list of employees.

    Not to mention having to deal with systems I have no idea about and should have zero access to but somehow have global admin and am incharge of access controls which are half documented, yet the system is the most important in the company.

    We are working on improving it, it goes slowly…

    If it paid the same, I think being a street view driver seems interesting/fun…




  • There are several governments in Europe and abroad that have ordered DNS lookups for specific domains to be blocked.

    They probably mean that we can’t trust the government to keep information free and need a way to restrict governments from blocking DNS lookups.

    Unfortunately, you can’t really do DNS in a decentralized manner as the concept is based on a hirarchy.

    Example:

    If you want to go to www.coolsite.org your computer would make the following requests:

    • Hey root server, who handles requests for .org?
    • Hey .org DNS server, who handles requests for .coolsite.org?
    • Hey .coolsite.org DNS server, who is www.coolsite.org?

    I don’t really know how to decentralize this…
