Sorry for the typo cant change.

Proxmox helper scripts maintainer who went into hospice a couple weeks ago passed. This post on gh is from his wife

I have first hand experience with this.I am late 50s and still at top of my game in my area of expertise. It was time to move on from last job last year and had zero interest from anyone. All through my network so no cold calls either. I know for a fact those positions were filled with late 30s mid 40s people.

So my answer was luckily i retired. The interesting thing is after being in tech for 35-40 years i have no interest in any of it now. Hell after 3 weeks of retirement i didnt. I have a small farm now and play with tractors and such all day.

I agree. I did really well in my career with it

I retired from tech after 40 years this spring. Im now a farmer in the middle of nowhere.

The big thing i see missing from long ago times is a real sense of community and an all in one site ( article , forums etc). They try and some are decent but there just isnt the connection and i dont think that will ever return. I think reddit and the like sucked all that away from sites and the audience is much much broader so i feel they lose some of that “likemidedness” i dunno im just old and cant really relate to the younger “techies” of today.

Oops. Early 96 if i remember correctly. Its been a while :)

Yea we worked on his old site before anadtech. Sheesh so much fun at CES with the gang in lv. Was fun times. My buddy started fusetalk by writing anadtech forums from scratch. It all moved to .net after a couple years and that when i left. Jason stayed on for years

A sad day. My buddy and I were the original developers of anandtech when it went live running on cold fusion and oracle as the backend. I started a hosting company and hosted anadtrch for a few years. Lots of memories there.

You would be very very surprised how many federal agencies still use just a pw for vpn etc access to their whole network. Or maybe you wouldn’t.

Thats blatantly false. I just left an agency with passwords on all thier unix boxed. With zero rotation policies. Its a shitshow

Just dont go SAP about as bad as oracle haveing worked in both shops.

This is exactly what im doing this year. Though im 30yrs in. I bought a farm next to my dad in idaho. Im done in march and moving cross country and growing alfalfa and potatoes

Our county did basically same thing in rural va. Our coop who the county partnered with is now expanding to 5 other counties. 1gb 75 mo. Its been down once in 4 years

Nah. Not NSA. CIA
