The comparison to modern travel is a bit off though... The vast, VAST, majority of humanity would never travel further than a few villages over in their entire lifetime. The 'mixing' of cultures isn't nearly as pronounced as you're suggesting. Consider that even medieval "France" was made up of over 6 distinct cultures with often different languages.

As both an extreme unicyclist & rollerblader, unicycles are actually incredibly safe. More safe than a bicycle. The top speed is very slow comparatively, and if you fall... You fall on your feet. Forwards? Feet. Backwards? Feet. Sideways? Feet. If your feet were strapped into the pedals (like rollerblades...) it would be a deathtrap.
Human-accelerated global warming wouldn't happen via a handful of deer.... But global warming was going to happen even if humans never existed. Global temperatures have waxed and waned since before life existed. The only difference here is that we're pressing on the gas pedal (literally) and accelerating the process. The idea that global temperatures would have never climbed without humans empowers denialists by giving them a strawman to point at.
The dark ages didn't happen. They're a myth perpetuated by protestant historians in the 1900's who were trying to imply that the era between the fall of the Western Roman empire (600s) and the reformation period (1500's) were this awful collapse of society due to the Catholic Church 'straying from gods light'. It's totally bullshit of course and any modern historian (regardless of religion) wouldn't use the term.

Generally to be "in-demand", you need about 6 years of experience & highly desirable certifications (at least one security cert such as sec+ or CASP, dns-related cert such as Infoblox CDCA, and typically something else like cloud engineering or maybe automation engineering related). Getting into DNS is usually something that happens after you've already been an enterprise network engineer for a number of years. It's highly specialized and rather difficult.

Not possible. While AI can theoretically do the job, error is too expensive. AI already does much of my work, but I have to make risk assessment & I run the automation systems. I already automate much of my daily work. But when big stuff breaks, automation won't fix it.
Any company that is willing to fire me to save costs isn't worth working for. The job is so in-demand that if I put "looking for a job" in my linked-in, I get multiple offers within the hour. Not even joking. That's how I got my current job.
DNS engineer here.
It's always DNS because no one wants to hire us. We're prima donnas that don't work much and demand large salaries. Companies think they can get away with having some random network guy "learn a bit of DNS" and it works!!... For a while... Then it fails catestrophically and the DNS engineer that was let go to "save costs" smugly watches them crash and burn. The job is super easy and simple until you're 48 hours into troubleshooting and the CTO is lighting money on fire trying to get the network back online. A big company can easily burn a DNS engineers 10 years salary in costs if they have a single large DNS failure (security or downtime).
Midwest is always about 4 years behind coastal City trends.
That's labial velar approximate. We don't say "bwatermelon" just because the letter is pronounced with a B
That's wrong! There are only three bilabial letters! P, M, and B. F and V are labiodental

Hi,
I think someone on Lemmy has hacked into every work environment I've ever coded in
Size isn't everything. While I get what they're trying to say, the 'light utility vehicles' of today are getting 20-30 mpg while the sedan of 40 years ago got like... 5. Fuck cars and all, but this isn't really a good angle.
