Selfh.st is a great directory and newsletter.

You can also interpret it as, “Read their fucking manuals.”

Tell me you don’t read the manual without saying you don’t read the manual.

I can recall a few! Mastodon. Lemmy. PiHole. Penpot. Mealie. Uptime Kuma.

They all mention required steps to upgrade between releases, including what to do to your docker installations and environment variables.

RTFM

It’s all mine.

you’ll be sitting in a chair instead of breaking your back

Oh, you’ll still be breaking your back. (Invest in a standing desk before it’s too late!)

Busted into this thread to recommend Let’s Encrypt, certbot, and my favorite ways to authenticate domain ownership in containerized environments. Not those certs.

Only get the certification(s) you need to get the job you want. As someone who sometimes has to run the technical interview – I will ask you if you have the cert we require for the position. Regardless of your answer, I’ll then see if you can do the job (or can learn to do the job quickly based on similar experience).

If you have the cert but can’t do the job, you’re fucked.

If you can do the job, but don’t have the cert, I’ll tell you to get the cert ASAP.
