@felipe That, and/or pointers to tutorials that helped you. What I want to do first is move away from Wordpress, to a static HTML blog with comments provided by the Fediverse. Or something like that. With some kind of self-hosted metrics. Vague, I know. Simply learning enough to be able to state what I want in coherent terms would be a net gain.
Kit BashirThe knight paused his charger. “Ho, child, what name ye this village?”
The young girl so addressed kept walking, a bucket in each hand.
“YOU THERE! I SAID…”
The door of the smithy that stood on the outskirts of the settlement opened. “Good morrow, Sir Knight”
“And to you, Smith. I was about to instruct this rude youngster…”
The smith regarded the cooling red-tipped spike in her hand, and called out to the girl “Mim, what do we teach you about courtesy to knights?”
“We don’t fuckin talk to cops, Smith”
“No instruction necessary, as you can see”

Orion Ussner kidderI found a technician who'd work on a Linux machine, and she solved my problem (I had no wifi whatsoever) the same day that she received it.
I realize the culture of Linux "fix it yourself!" and I tried. I got a buddy to help. We couldn't figure it out, so I paid a professional to fix it and then tell me how she did it.
I want to normalize this. For Linux to be viable, it can't just be a hobby OS. Paying pros to fix it, and set it up for you, is part of that.
@jimfl A friend of mine, one halloween, went solo scuba diving for lobsters (not recommended; he's done various other non-recommended things as well). But he locked his keys in his car. This was before mobile phones. He went door to door seeking to use peoples' phones in flippers and a wetsuit, with a bucket of lobsters in one hand. They thought he was a trick-or-treater in costume. Also, he's a big guy and perhaps a bit threatening-seeming. It took him a few doors.

Linux Breaks 5% Desktop Share in U.S., Signaling Open-Source Surge Against Windows and macOS
Linux has surpassed 5% desktop market share in the US (5.03% in June 2025), per StatCounter, driven by privacy concerns, rising costs of Windows/macOS, and user-friendly distros like Ubuntu. Community celebrates amid gaming and enterprise boosts, though challenges like software gaps persist; analysts eye 7% by 2027.
Halcyon LoonWell my employer has decided to partner with Palantir, which means it's time for me to find a new job. I was a lot more willing to make 40% less than market rate when I knew my employer wasn't funding concentration camps because they want AI coding tools.
Anyway if you need a UX designer/researcher located around the Minneapolis-St. Paul region of Minnesota, USA who knows his way around US government regulations for CMS quality reporting, healthcare, enterprise software I'm looking!
For all of you who have been so incredibly helpful, I cannot thank you enough!
