So the issue here for me is lack of pay.
Asking me this through straight employment is an agreement that protects both the worker and employer in some capacity.
Asking this through volunteer work makes me uneasy.
I'm completely happy to volunteer my time to an org that I believe in, Lemmy being a ptime example, but not willing to do so in the case of requiring this information up front.
As you should be!
After quite a long while working with someone to this capacity, it would be strange not to be on first name basis, but I haven't worked with you.
I've been on the internet for a very long time, and it takes quite a bit of rapport to build before I'm comfortable giving out my first name, let alone my full name.
I definitely understand where you're coming from, just a stretch at the start for me personally.
Really love the admin team though!
While not strictly required
Technically true, but verbiage leads me to believe its more required than not.
You are correct, but the topic is applying as an admin, so I replied to the topic.
Aye it's the humanity problem.
Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of "group".
Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.
I'd be happy to apply, but requiring a CV and full background check in addition to a video call interview is a bit steep for me.
Just the video call I'd absolutely be applying, I genuinely believe in Lemmy and want to see it succeed, but not to the point that I'm willing to put this much information into non-employment hands.
Good luck on the search.
Honestly the single biggest thing to self-hosting is breaking stuff.
Host stuff that seems interesting to you, and dick around with it. If it breaks, read the logs and try to fix. If you can't, revert to a backup and try to reproduce.
If you start out with things that interest you, you'll more likely stick with the hobby. From there you can move to hosting things with external access - maybe vpn inside your own network through your router?
From there, get your security in line and host a basic webserver. Something small, low attack vector, and build on it. Then expand!
Definitely recommend docker to start with - specifically docker compose. Read the documentation and mess around!
First container I would host is portainer. General web admin/management panel for containers.
Good luck :).
... I blame the kid's sleep regression and my lack thereof.
I'll give this a shot, thanks!
Honestly I'm not super concerned about the contents being public.
As far as a forum/wiki, I'd like it to look like it was meant for this job, those would be a little more on the hefty side just for posting some images/text to.
I would build it myself but I've got a 4 month old. Not a ton of time to sit down in React.
This is close, but I'd like to be able to manually add text to each review (for my benefit really) and general x/y star reviews for them.
Also it really wouldn't need Auth - I'd be the only one actually editing the pages.
Spreading democracy for the glory of Super Earth!
Used this for all of 10 seconds and fell in love.
