Any computer-touchers looking for a job? The Cambridge Computer Lab is looking for a mostly Linux sysadmin. Great place to work, I still pop in sometimes, but don’t let that put you off!

EDIT: I believe this requires the ability to be physically in Cambridge (UK) at least some of the time. I am not sure if they can sponsor visas for this job, but they often can.

Second edit: Apparently I was tired when I posted this and completely failed to include the link to the job. Ooops!

Third edit: I am not involved in hiring for this job. My current affiliation with the institution in question is 'Visiting Researcher'. This means that they keep a desk that I can use (when no one else is using it) and I periodically turn up and hang out with people there. I cannot answer questions related to the job other than to say that it's working with a group of people I choose to visit when I can. There is an email address in the job ad for questions.

A MicroNation Community


I'm just asking if there's a Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed community (or any federated community/forum) that's dedicated to MicroNations here ?

(The Youtube link is just for knowledge purposes

I was also adviced that this was the appropriate community to post this)

Actually, I have been a parliamentarian in my past. Serving as "Advocate" in a Knights of Columbus Council, part of my duty was to be familiar with Roberts Rules of Order, and to advise the Grand Knight on how best to conduct a business meeting, how to deal with disputes should they arise, etc. kofc.org/en/get-involved/colle…

Rose reshared this.

Considering switching from Windows 11 and I have some questions


Considering switching to Linux, but I have many questions.

  1. Gaming - I enjoy gaming and want a Distro that will let me play most games. I have read that keeping nVidia drivers up to date can be (was?) a problem. I currently use steam for 99% of my gaming, I’m aware steam is porting a lot for SteamOS, but what are the limitations of this? Will I have to wait for a port before I can play a new game? Are there stability issues?
  2. I’ve developed a lot of pretty basic macros for excel in Visual Basic, I’m not a programmer by any means, but I can write some algorithms to do QoL coding. Is making the switch to open office seamless? Will my .xlsx docs incur formatting issues? Will my macros translate to whatever editor is used in open office? Does open office use the same codes for cell functions? Are there statistic package add-ons like with excel? Essentially, I’m asking how much work is ahead of me if I make this switch?
  3. I do enjoy the old version of outlook and work with many people who use outlook calendars for scheduling. Is there a similar program that will work with the same functionality on their end? (E.g. a mail client that will allow me to accept calendar invites from others and confirm it on both ends?).
  4. I am familiar with Visual Studio and use it as my IDE for very basic programming (I like to tinker with automating certain tasks in games, again by no means a programmer). Is there an equivalent FOSS version that would have a low learning curve coming from Microsoft’s IDE?

OpenOffice has seen essentially no development since 2011, when the trademark got transferred to Oracle after they bought Sun Microsystems.

The project got forked into LibreOffice to dodge the trademark issue, but it's the same devs, practically the same project, but now under a non-profit organization. Well, and with 14 more years of development.

So, use LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. It will most likely come pre-installed on whichever Linux distro you go with. But you can also try it out on Windows beforehand, if you have concerns.

in reply to exothermic

To me it looks you are pretty deep in MS ecosystem. The easiest to switch to Linux are developers because development on Windows sucks and casual users because they depend only on their web browser. Since you are both a gamer and deep in MS office suite it will be very hard because its completley different ecosystem.

My proposal: recreate your environment in VM and switch on linux host with that same setup. And then try get step by step over a year outside of that VM.

For some people, a passion for space is something that might develop over time, but for Patrick Junen, the desire was there from the beginning. With a father and grandfather who both worked for NASA, space exploration is not just a dream; it remains a family legacy. Now, as the stage assembly and structures subsystem […]

We have been made aware that this person has made an appearance at two different anti-fascist events this month.

He made an appearance at #Northland during an anti-fascist rally where by he attempted to disrupt the action unsuccessfully. He attempted to assault an anti-fascist but was unable to move them with his feeble attempt at a shove before he was whisked away by his mates in blue.

Was asking about this today because I couldnt remember the name or franchise and Lemmy came thru, reuniting me with yet another thing I could remember sound of but not the content or name, long thought lost to the sands of time

Hey Mastodon,

I need a big favor. My friend @Aseelsehwel lives in Gaza, & she & her brother are currently trying to raise money to feed their family, care for their father who is suffering from kidney complications, & eventually leave Gaza for Egypt. They are a family of 6 & it looks like their estimated costs to cover everything would be $50,000.00. So far they are at $32,583.00, can we try to get them over the finish line? Here is a link to their GoFundMe:
