I have been thinking about a career change for a number of years, but without much direction. I have worked in the UK finance sector for over 20 years, and within finance teams doing various roles for over 25. I'm a maker at heart, but also technical and would like some way to balance these more going forwards.

My need for change is being pushed by constant talk of values at work, but their values seem to always be compromised by the ultimate end goal, and I feel at odds with it especially with world events at the moment. It also doesn't help that I am AI resistant.

Does anyone have experience changing career when over 40, and especially when contemplating leaving a finance role? Really lost in the multitude of jobs to know where my skills might be valued and at a company with good ethics?

Looking for more news sources and blogs to follow via RSS feed reader. Requirements: no Substack, no AI, no corporate bootlicking, no articles about tech unless it’s subversive. Things I’m interested in: international news, joyful weirdness, animal science, anti-fascism, Indigenous news, music and musicians. Already following Unicorn Riot, Doctorow, Sinker, 404 (meh), and ProPublica. #RSS #HiveMind #AskFedi #news

What are your thoughts on someone not owning a smartphone?

#AskFedi

Halp! I just installed Yunohost on my home server with a wired connection.

Access to my apps works fine on devices with ethernet cable. But my wireless devices can only access my admin page, not the app portal.

Is this a common issue?

#askfedi What is the best oldschool #forum software one can self-host on a small server?

"Best" as in some tradeoff of the following:

* bugfree (or not many bugs)
* safe, as in no or no discovered CVEs
* features for users, mods and admins
* maintainability
* safe, as in allows invite-only, and maybe review posts before being actually visible

Background is, that I have been thinking about hosting one for a long time, but it would probably be only for friends and friends of friends.

I get the DDR4 and DDR5 RAM "shortage", but who the fuck is buying up:

* Low end NVMe drives (Gen3/4 <= 1TB)

* DDR4 and DDR5 *SODIMMs*

Who is benefiting?

#AskFedi #MakeItMakeSense

Think it's time for a #AskFedi knowledge share...

Can people name some decent non-US #PC and #laptop manufacturers?
Extra points if they try not to use US components as well (i.e. Intel)

Obviously we have @tuxedocomputers , @starlabssystems and @slimbook to start
And for the sake of mentioning, we have Fujitsu, Minisforum as moderately popular off the shelf brands.

But does anyone have any other to add to the list?

Sorry, US friends
