I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.

I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go

• Get your IP address by entering this command
• Type your IP address in this line
• Now forward any chosen port to your proxy of choice and don’t forget to check your firewall settings!

My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.

.top is cheap right now and much easier to make into a phrase

our work uses macs but also Kandji for software management, which also locks you into restarts during business hours 😎

and before that, get the drive name from the “black kid”.

“it’s Linux season”

obligatory its a Unix system, I know this

it’s not just one thing though. For a non technical user, it’s nerve-wracking to worry that if you screw up the install, or download the wrong package, or configure the YAML wrong, or open the wrong port, or there’s a port conflict, or you forgot to update the software… now you’re potentially unprotected (even if that’s not the case - many will still worry).

Not to mention even if you - as I did - had to skill up to understand it, three months passes and you’re terrified to touch it because you’ve forgotten all the stuff you learned to set it up.

Same as how the majority of people don’t even change their own oil on their cars - even though it’s fairly easy.

I grew up in the country with outdoor cats. Birds, frogs, bats, mice… sometimes alive sometimes in jigsaw mode

He’s on second.

ah so like every fucking game and it’s save files for some reason?

wouldn’t the second pi have to be linked to the first?

I was trying to test to see how it worked inside and outside of docker.

I fucked something up and installed pihole and adguard at the same time both in a container and bare metal and received a massive load of error messages that after 2 hours of trying to unstick just formatted the SD card and started over. So then, installing and configuring ssh, fstab the external drive, set a static IP address on the pi took up all of my time so far.

Yes, I agree. Do you have any recommendations on courses / sites to look at?

yes - grew up in the 80s so witticisms like “4 bits is a nybble” are stuck in the brain.

Although it doesn’t seem relevant it’s actually pretty illuminating in what IP addresses are and do so thank you for that

that’s a helpful explanation of subnets thank you

In the paradigm of

111.222.3.4:5/22

if “3” is subnet and “5” is port - what are the names of “4”, “222”, “111”, and “22”?

And is there ever a 000.111.222.3.4:5/22 or another add on?

that’s a cool project, thank you for the suggestion

As more of an artist than a techie for the most part — if you have your medium or at least part of it — the more interesting thing about art is what you have to say about it.

As an example, if you want to draw a distinction and comparison between the age of discovery and the age of technology, you could use the hard drives as a canvas on which to paint a portrait of something like Robert Scott / Lawrence Oates, or Jacques Cousteau, or Armstrong and Aldrin etc.

On that last one - if you could tie the size of the drive in comparison to the size of the code used in the moon landing that might also be interesting.

Anyway, all that to say - art is a mix of medium and message

I will look into this, thank you.
