I can count binary on my fingers, does that count?

There are 10 types of people, 
Those who understand binary and those that don't.

Best Opensource Software from an Admin perspective so far is: https://www.discourse.org/ - administrating it is basically either click two buttons or from time to time ssh / ./launcher app rebuild .. that's it. It has been running stable for over a year and is so freaking smooth…

I have github.com/nhitze since like forever - thought about changing to something more "speaking" like github.com/nilshitze or github.com/cerillio (on of my gamertags since 2000 or so) - Yes/No/Opinions?

just be careful /dev/null takes your handle from github on every sign in, so dev-null.sh/@nhitze dies with the rename 😅 and github gives the old name to whoever grabs it first

Garrett W.@garrettw17h

I think your current username is fine, honestly

Dominic Jäggi @dominicjaeggi19h

Choose nilshitze. I prefer "real" names because they feel more personal.

Hey Nils. I'm Andy. I have no idea where my towel is, but we share a lot of other interests (including 3d printing, sci-fi, etc). Following. Good luck with the job hunt!

Nick Woodhead @naw10318h

Good works Nils! It's great to meet you here.

Version management can't be something that's a side hustle done by devs, dedicated Sysadmins are needed for this reason or a system to monitor and actual ownership of the process

JDJigar Dhulla@jigar-dhulla5d

Old code can hide serious bugs for more than a decade. This week we saw it up close. A critical flaw in PHP, nicknamed "php2shell", was disclosed and fixed upstream. It let an attacker run code on a server without logging in. The bug had sat in PHP since 2012. Stronger AI models…

Jigar Dhulla @jigar-dhulla6h

Companies from non tech domain don't realize this. Managed server is a good solution for most.

Nils Hitze @nhitze20h2df1a1a

Damn that's a nice idea

@tom how many members having Germany or Munich listed in their bio

Tom @tom20h

282 members have Germany in their profile location, and 18 have Munich. That's members whose profile location mentions the term, not nationality or verified residence. Some may match both, so they can overlap. Counts as of 2026-10-28 UTC.

Can you make the button larger

Want to make a developer cry? Just say, “It’s a small change! "

I know I only asked for a landing page, but can we add a simple admin login where I can change the content? And maybe a way so I can add my staff as admins but with separate permissoins for each of them.

I think the main issue with job hunting as a 40+ right now is, they want a "senior" with 5+ years experience, they don't want to pay for 20+ years.

Rahul Gupta @replyre1d

Create your own org boss; I will intern there even with my 4+ years experience just allow WFH. Let's start a development studio of yours !!

Anyone else looking for a job and being psd of of being completely ignored - like don't you even grant me the basic decency of answering at all?

Patrick Daether @pdaether20h

The harsh reality is that AI changed the game completely (or will, depending on how progressive the company is) . Companies don't need developers, companies need project managers steering a team of AI agents. DevOps and Security is more in demand than knowing how the Quicksort…

Victor Sanchez @juaniquillo22h

Same here. 😞

Martin @nightcoding1d

Did this. It was awful. Now I am self-employed and plan some products besides client work.
