>helping build a perfect decentralized surveillance record

a record of what? Posts I wish to share with the public anyway?

I've been fascinated by Bhutan ever since reading "Beyond the Sky and the Earth". I wish them the best, but with the exodus of young people it's difficult to see long term success. The population is tiny. Will future growth only stem from tourism?

I wish I could say something smart such as “People/Organisations should host their own git servers“, but as someone who had the misfortune of doing that in the past I rather have a non-functional GitHub.

I hear the twitter = public square analogy a lot but I fail to understand it. Here and on Twitter discussions take place. What is the difference?

Why would it ? On our end everything works fine. If you’re not one of the 400 companies, there's no difference

>Jira Cloud is incredibly slow

I have to say it got better after they switched to AWS but Jira not working/being slow is still an inside joke in the office

Nice to know. ADO was floating around the office as some large customers of us use it.

To be honest at this point I don’t see us ever switch away from BitBucket as our environment (non tech employees use SourceTree, bitbucket pipelines etc) is centered around it.

Quite interesting to see how our experiences differentiate as I never got the chance to really understand what I was doing or what is going on but maybe that depends on our different approaches when switching distros

As someone who uses Jira and BitBucket at work I wish they were more reliable. Switching to something like Azure DevOps is sadly not an option for us so we’re stuck there.

I think the article encapsulates the problem perfectly.

When I started to switch from Windows to Linux, I've constantly changed distros picking whatever I saw "cool" people in my online circle use. I switched between Ubuntu, Debian, Arch and it's 100% FLOSS siblings all the time, sometimes using a distro just for one or two days.

It is a stupid Endeavour as you have no time getting used to your environment and so you lack the skills required to solve any problems that occur.

What fixed my habit was actually having to use my laptop for university, where I ran Ubuntu, and later at work, where we used Fedora. It helped me get used to it and tailor it to my needs.

Recently, I've switched at home and work to MacOS ( couldn’t resist the new M1 chips). It fulfills my requirements and works like a charm.

My first guess would have been Web development with Django but if that's a no you might want to give DevOps a try. Of course, it will include a lot of tooling and other technologies (nearly impossible to do it without knowing about Docker/Kubernetes) but people who can develop DevOps tooling are in high demand.

Last but not least you can look into automated testing. Not the most interesting job for many but Python is widely used there.
