Being 40 and I literally have friends same age as me that are grandparents and some that have new borns. Plus every thing else in between. Life is interesting. Even if we are born the same day the same year we all grow in LIFE at different rates
Grateful for another year of life. Grateful for family, Grateful for my career in Tech. Level 40 (March 3rd) (FYI: There was Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 3 so Super Powers have been activated)

Folks brag about using Arch Linux at HOME but can't automate a task in Red Hat Linux at WORK.

I know I really love tech when I fixed a VPN server issue alone in my house and celebrated like a WWF champ winning the title. No stream, no audience—just me, hyped I solved the problem.

It seems in that last post I was being a jerk. It's gone now. I am grateful to be in a position. Where folks want to hire me for I.T. jobs especially given the economic climate in the United States. My goals are high. My ambition is high. Sometimes that can come off the wrong way.
What NOTE TAKING App do you use for your phone? I been experimenting and trying to find the right one. Please give me suggestions......
LIFE UPDATE • Laid off in March • Savings wiped out • Temp job paid <25% of old salary • New job in Oct. New city. FRESH START. This year broke me—but didn’t finish me. Grateful to GOD & my family. The storm has passed 🌤️
Proof Of Life. Its been a while since I been on here
@milesward.com Hey man tried to send you a message. Just wanted to say hello. Been a while.
LinkedIn sold all of our data. Especially those of us that used LinkedIn Premium. Also Workday is being sued for its discrimination in the A.I. it used that was developed by HiredScore. Please be aware......

Keep telling folks don't sleep on AntiX Linux. Especially if you have super old hardware. It works wonders! I used as a daily driver once because I didn't have a laptop at home & my job was throwing out an old laptop that I took home. #Linux #AntiXLinux
In my Linux Essentials class, they dropped a gem—AntiX Linux. This distro is an absolute lightweight champion, running on the most minimal system specs I've ever seen. And since it's Debian-based, stability is a given. If Ubuntu feels like home, AntiX will be a breeze. 🚀 #Linux
Decided to pivot away from Docker/Kubernetes and get back to the basics. Building my self back up BRICK BY BRICK. Studying to take the LPI Linux Essentials exam. #linux
We are too invested in celebrity drama on Social Media. Those folks aint thought about us a day in their lives yet people are ready to write think pieces on them and cut people off in their own lives based on how they feel about said celebrities. Worry about your own life.
Windows 10 support ends in Oct 2025, leaving older PCs vulnerable. With Windows 11's TPM requirement blocking upgrades, many will turn to Linux instead of tossing functional hardware. I predict 2026 will be **The Year of Desktop Linux**. #Linux
I legit just learned how to pull this up. Always see folks in the Linux Community posting their Linux Machines with a logo (Mostly Arch Linux Users) showing which distro they are using. It's a program called "Neofetch". #Linux
Completed & Documented my first project in Docker. Come take a look at my blog post! (Video coming soon) rfj.hashnode.dev/my-simple-do...
Was curious to see how an A.I. would answer this question..... WHY DO PEOPLE ACT FUNNY WHEN YOU ARE FOCUSED ON IMPROVING YOUR SELF?
Which A.I. tool are you using the most? ChatGPT? Google Gemini? Claude A.I.? Microsoft Copilot? I personally use Gemini the most since I remember a time I couldn't access ChatGPT.

I'm seeing a lot of people in Linux communities trying Linux because of PewDiePie. I strongly disagree with him and his past actions, but I still want to help newcomers explore Linux. Just know where I stand.

While this project has been done for weeks I finally documented it and put it on my GitHub. Next step is a YouTube video. But the work is done! Check out my GitHub when you get a chance github.com/rjohnson46
You all should be so proud of me. I been working on actually using my Github. I actually installed VSCode on my lab machine that uses Pop_OS (Linux) & then pushed the code from my Docker Project to my Github. #smallwins
