  • How to become a team/department lead?

    跳过

  • Been a team lead in title at my company (small software company, out of the start up phase, but was a startup when I joined)) for over a decade. Only figured out how to be a leader in reality over the last 5ish years.

    Do you want the title of team lead, or to actually be a leader on your team? Those are often two different things.

    Getting the title depends a lot on the politics of your employer. A good place will promote based on merit, others won't.

    Being an actual leader is actually a lot more straightforward: serve the team. Be the driving force behind improving their work lives. That means communicating with them regularly both about what they are finding difficult (and then being a driver in finding a solution) and celebrating them when things go well. It means being a champion for the good ideas others have. It also means asking for help from the team when it's needed; stay humble.

    Through this constant communication a couple of things should start to happen:

    • you'll be able to piece things (solutions, product improvements, bug fixes, etc) more quickly, because your domain and contextual knowledge will be greater than those not serving the team.
    • other team members will start coming to you for things, people will naturally gravitate toward those that have proven to be helpful
    • the team will start outputting higher quality product
    • life for the team will get more enjoyable

    Do all that and people will start naturally looking to you.

  • Judge didn't bar executing them tho. Didn't take em long to figure that loophole out. I hate this timeline.

  • Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner?

    跳过

  • This is how I got started. HP Elite desk Mini. If you want room for full size HDDs then get the SFF version.

  • Why self host a password manager?

    跳过

  • Pretty much this. Combined with how easy it is to install VaultWarden (docker ftw), it was a no brainer for me.

    Also, my little home server is a WAY less juicy target for someone looking to steal and sell a bunch of passwords.

    Been running it for probably about 2 years now. No ISP outages but a couple self-inflicted ones. Didn't even notice the outages in the BitWarden app/extension.

  • How should I continue learning?

    跳过

  • Try to replicate software/apps you use everyday. Not to improve them, but to figure out how they work. In addition to learning how they work, you'll learn the problems the original devs had to solve, and one way to solve them.

  • What's the best affordable pre-built mini server?

    跳过

  • Check out used tiny/mini/micro desktops on eBay. Loads of info here: https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimicro-home-lab-revolution/

    Only downside is going to be no GPU for the AI workload. Maybe some of the later AMD APUs could cut it. If not, all three major manufacturers have SFF variants that are pretty much the same hardware in a little bigger case. Those will accept smaller off the shelf GPUs.

  • Recommendations for cheap hardware upgrade

    跳过

  • 2nd this. Cheap, upgrade-able, more powerful than the pi, and not limited to ARM. Only thing the Pi has on this is power consumption and GPIO.

  • Next step on my self-hosting journey

    跳过

  • Consider a used HP Elite desk SFF (small form factor) with a 6th Gen or later Intel CPU (or the equivalent from Dell or Lenovo). Space for 2x 3.5 HDD for data, an nvme m.2 slot for your OS drive, and a couple of pcie expansion slots.

    1.) it's cheap and replacement parts are plentiful 2.) 6th+ gen Intel CPUs have Quick Sync for hardware accelerated transcoding 3.) fast interface for the OS drive, and room for a pair of multi TB HDDs in raid. 4.) some expandability 5.) power draw isn't horrible, but nor is it great.

    OS wise, lots of options. Ubuntu server LTS is my general go to because it's easy to Google stuff for and is stable. And I don't need a desktop environment. I then run the services in docker.

    Note about Intel Quick Sync when running headless: you may need a display emulator to get the system to enable it. The HP bios (and maybe some others) don't have the option to permanently enable quick sync. The display emulator tricks it into thinking a display is plugged in. You can get them on Amazon for under $10.

  • What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?

    跳过

  • Vaultwarden is pretty game changing. No more reusing passwords and they aren't in the cloud.
