There's a continued obsession in the tech industry with code output. Often it's phrased as "maximizing the time spent writing code"

But what even is "writing code"?

Consider the following summary of a morning at work:

8am - sit down at desk, remotely or in-office
9am - standup
9:30am - open JIRA and read next ticket
9:45am - writing code
noon - break for lunch

Hello Fedi friends,

I'm currently planning my written tutorial for #YunoHost - from the POV of a newbie.

The guide will have a simple but ambitious goal: to encourage non-technical people to try self-host their own #NextCloud instance... and show them that it's something accessible to all, thanks to the wonderful https://YunoHost.org

I have tried other similar tools and YunoHost IMHO is simply the best and most secure solution. I've been using it for 11 months now and I have ZERO complaints. It just works... and it's effortless.

I'm thinking of splitting my written tutorial in a 3-part series... because doing everything in one go for a non-technical person could be overwhelming.

Part 1: registering a domain name and signing up for a VPS*

* yes I know technically you could forgo a domain name but I think having one is more empowering long term... and I'd go the VPS route because it's the most headache-free for a newbie. I can do the whole thing in 12 minutes with a VPS... and experienced headaches with a Raspi. I think for a total newbie the VPS is the way to go... especially if we factor in security issues. The stakes are lower

Part 2: installing YunoHost and tweaking DNS settings (assigning domain for NextCloud and creating a subdomain for YunoHost admin stuff, etc.)

Part 3: installing NextCloud (which people voted for when I asked which app I should install in my tutorial) and seeing what it can do.

Thoughts?

Is a 3-part series overkill or ok? I'd like to encourage people to set aside 30 minutes a day for this, so that the whole thing is not too overwhelming.

Eager to hear what you think about this!

P.S.: tangentially related but ICYMI: my Ghost blog is now federating thanks to https://MagicPages.co. You can follow it here: @eleElena Rossini

YunoHost: garden your own piece of the Internet!

YunoHost is a system that installs itself on a server and allows you to install and maintain - with very little technical knowledge - digital services (apps) that you control.

日本はこういう態度を取らざるを得ないし、中国はこういう態度を取っても許される。そういう状況になっちゃってるんだよ。高市支持者は現実を見てくれよ...。

While my experience isn’t the same as this woman, I absolutely feel it. Everything is an uphill battle (and it’s worse if you’re multiply marginalized!) and every issue makes you feel like it is all your fault.

The tech industry has not made the kind of progress I had hoped when I started doing dei activism 15+ years ago.

How come criminal psychopaths run the place?

No more than 1% of the popn & typically marginalised by their communities, today's criminal psychopaths have organised to an unprecedented level (via the internet, for all its goods)

For psychopaths, power is everything. Money is just a means to it

They have no empathy, so no conscience.

The disorder is so far incurable; only we can stop them.

Even chimps throw out bully leaders.
