Disgraceful life? What on earth are you referring to?

Because he's powerful? Seems obvious

What country are you in? I can't see it in the US

I was about to make the same comment. It looks like my terminal.

That post is fascinating. Thanks!

Maybe I'm reading between the lines but all I could see was his grief. I'm a dad too though, so maybe that plays into it.

Try pooling your resources with others. I know my experience was from a long time ago but this is how I see people making it work now as well.

I had roommates for several years after school. It should have been even longer but I had to get married early like a dumbass. If you can at all, use that time to save what you can.

While you're doing that, get experience and connections at work. People will come and go and it'll be helpful to have people you can reach out to that know you enjoy your work and see that you're good at it.

Most companies don't provide good growth opportunities from within so every couple years, look at making a move. My biggest pay jumps have occurred this way.

Don't be afraid to apply for positions that you might feel are just out of reach. Having connections that can vouch for you and help you with your resume are very valuable for these.

Along the way, don't pass up your employer's retirement matching, and save as much as you can. Since you don't have a degree, look for certifications in your industry or take advantage of any help your employer can provide with tuition for college. Don't be afraid to do it slowly if you have to.

I know I had a lot of help getting opportunities but it was always on me to make the most of them. Good luck, I hope you make it where want to be.

Thinking of replaying. I hope you get some good tips.

Are you on Nvidia, Intel, or AMD?

Are you connecting through a proxy? Are you familiar with the name given for the certificate: dsldevice?

It looks like malware that wants to harvest your credentials at every site you visit.

I may have purchased that exact item from Amazon a few months ago. It is 100% worth saving up for a bit to purchase something this good. Debian stable is fully supported. It's currently just my streaming client but it's pretty powerful and sips power compared to off lease desktops or even laptops.
