Talk to as many people as you can. Read everything available. Take part in as many virtual 'social' activities as possible. So much of what you get out of an internship is about what you put in, and that requires much more effort when you're remote. #AskTwitterEng

I see folks building bedrock-type abstractions more and more these days and adding on @tbsp's list, I tried to gather every single virtual machine designed explicitly to fend of bitrot or digital obsolesce by targeting a frozen specification I could think of. I was wondering, I'm sure I must have forgotten some, if you can think of one that is not on the list, could you please let me know! wiki.xxiivv.com

Does anyone know how to use @nextcloud on a headless *client*? They used to have a `nextcloudcmd` utility but that appears to have been deprecated. > nextcloudcmd is not in focus for us anymore as virtual file systems are the future. https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/1086 Anyone know where the latest nextcloudcmd is? Or how I use a "virtual filesystem" on a headless Ubuntu client? Related

I don’t usually post DMs, but this is a rare exception as I actually asked him before doing so and he consented. Danial is a local Malaysian. Several months ago he asked “Would be cool if you could repost our current portfolio of projects as well, under KD Labs 👀”. I invited him to the Network School campus, as I do many Malaysian builders. He also said he wanted to build a virtual campus for Malaysians, a similar vision to me regarding a network state. Of course, I support him in that vision!

You have to call like seven APIs to get a VM in the cloud. Create a VM, a network, a storage device connected to a VPC and then attach credentials. Like that's not intent based. I want a VM.

Their words
I think the lesson from all of that is that humans talking to humans and being together in the real world or a virtual world, is a naturally empathetic medium, which naturally leads to bonding, and though conflict sometimes occurs, it's just generally so much more promoting of our social norms and good interactions between people and positivity promoting.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
