How many of these things can you do?
1) setup an e-mail account in a client
2) explain what a technical protocol is
3) login to a Nostr client and write a note
4) explain how an automobile clutch works
5) explain what version control is
6) use git from the command line
7) explain what a Bitcoin node is
8) explain how fermentation works
9) edit a document stored in the cloud
10) setup SSH for your computer
Do you want to build a car running on fermented fuel, with onboard computer bitcoin node, voice commands notes on nostr
Make it so.
We can get it done.
I guess the list seems a bit haphazard, but they're all things that are prohibitively difficult to do, if you can't follow instructions and aren't inquisitive, because you need to think about how it works.
I added fermentation because it's a process. If you can give a rough explanation for it, then you understand the underlying process.
10/10, what else you got? Seems pretty standard for our crowd.
It is, but it just struck me that the technological hurdle for #3 acts as a filter for the others.
Doubt there are many people scoring under 3 on Nostr, but IRL nearly everyone is under 3.
lmfao now that you say it, yeah just about everyone I know, even those in professional IT fields. If you took their manual away.
Yeah. 😂
I didn't know how to do 6 and 10 until a few weeks ago, but I can do it really quickly now, just sort of feeling around on the CL and --help.
And now I know ngit and agia, too, and can setup a Linux computer and compile external libraries from source and stuff.
I think this is an odd trait.
Hell yeah! Well I'm usually around if you have questions, and likely so are the rest of the people in this thread :)
I pretty much exclusively use git from the cli now. Some things are nice to do, like conflict resolution in visual studio, or visual branch management etc.
I have been using this tool https://github.com/Everduin94/better-commits for a little while now, it makes things a little easier, especially since I usually do squash merging.
I used to use Source Tree.

Couple weeks ago 9. But I learned a lot about fermentation since so 10 now

Isn't it an interesting list?
Makes you think what is similar.
Being able to sew on a button or tell if bone-in poultry or a cake is done cooking without touching it.
I would add a phonetic alphabet,
& plate a full meal for 8 in an hour.
Heck I can coach U4 football (the hardest thing I have ever tried)
The point of the list is to generate convo and allow a community to strut lol I am a test mule for the devs. I can understand the concepts and like to be creative but can read some html. I have chosen permaculture flower farming as my 10k hours.
all of them but my diabetic failing vision makes some of the tasks harder
you also forgot wireguard, pls study wireguard https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install (pleased i remembered how to type that whole url)
wireguard is God's gift to sysadmins
😱 Not another one.
have to do wireshark tutorials and it's terribly dull
just get that script and run it on an ubuntu VPS, then add the conf to your local machine's /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf and shut up about how you wish you had tunnels
go look at http://oc.mleku.net rn and log into that
the machine hosting that version of nostrudel is sitting behind my monitor
it is forwarded by my 2 euro/month VPS running wireguard and my mini pc which also runs a bitcoin node has inbound connections due to me setting up iptables to do that, in addition to the WG tunnel out that the (one of two) nostrudels run from
The fact that I can understand that makes me depressed because it means I really am a nerd. 🤣
i didn't think you wouldn't understand it but honestly, i had been wanting to run tunnels for a decade and when i finally grokked WG and found that script, omg, my whole world got 10% brighter
Wait wireshark or wireguard? Two very different things
No, both boring network thingies. 😂
Woah hey, watch what you call boring. You can sniff so many peoples packets with Wireshark. That's gotta count for something.
wireguard is cool, it lets you connect things easily, wireshark is just a pentesting tool
like, my VPS now has no SSH, because it only has WG, and i connect to that and then through it use SSH
it flips the script, wireshark is not generally interesting to sysadmins who aren't infosec nerds
yes i checked, i thought i remembered it was a network packet sniffer, yawn... much more interesting is wireguard, a VPN that uses EC cryptography to enable network tunnels
i could think of ways to make it better (like automating possible direct connections between nodes in the VPN instead of traffic bouncing to the server) but the base principle is awesome, and it was way hard to do it with SSH before WG showed up
Reminds me of Heinlein - “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
(3). I also remember having occasion to do (6) once, although I'm not a programmer.
a solid 3 out of those 10
this is an extensive list of varying things. I know all of them, well done!
Also:
11. Rewrite Cisco Netflow so that the NSA can use it to surveil their own citizens
12. Make Cider
13. Use AT codes from a 1980's modem to login to a BBS to discuss how to access the Internet via a SLIP connection instead of a shell Unix account.
14. Take 2 years of coding on VAX/VMS to realise the command NOON means midday, not Not On.
