Anywhere it's generally okay to look/find things

If I just wanted to label it, colored tape. I don’t know if colored masking tape is ideal – my experience has been that masking tape left on a surface for a long time leaves some goo, though Goo Gone might get that off. But I suspect that it’d stay on the thing for a long time.

Yeah, the gooey factor is one of the only reasons I've been somewhat iffy on using masking tape for this purpose. However if it holds up to where it doesn't need replacement, could be a nonfactor all things considering.

Opinions on sites like LinkedIn or similar in your region for work? Do you have a profile set up and maintained as semi-obligatory? Or do you prefer a separate professional site for networking? Both?

Which kinds did you have in mind? Some that occur to me have far too brief interactions (or times to interact) to invite those opportunities.

 

as an aside, here's a fun thread from awhile ago by someone else: What are some underrated careers/jobs?

p.s. leaving this open-ended per community theme, we can get into specifics in comments!

I haven’t paid interest in over a decade and have made thousands from rewards.

I'm not too familiar with credit cards, do you mean this in a literal money sense or something more complex, i.e. the value of rewards & money?

Sorry. This is why I included the bonus question:

what does it mean to be too online anymore?

This wasn't included in jest but in recognition that for many now there isn't any too online, it's simply the means of socializing, among other things.

Any resources to pick this up that you can share?

I had been publishing articles on my own website since 2003, but I did that mostly manually by writing whole HTML pages.

Huh, so literally raw html? I know it's not too difficult, but I have wondered occasionally how many small websites may have been written that way.

Is there something mystical to this?

I was looking for a word that might immediately resolve questions regarding how it might work and the like, to avoid those follow-up questions and free people up to answer however they imagine it would work. It's...Kinda worked? Aside from a few replies like this, which I don't mind, I just wanted to encourage people to roll with it as they will

Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?

 

Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.

 

There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole.

You went to this one site, and it mentioned some other site, and they kept your interest and kept linking on to others and you've surfaced just long enough to share here.

 

Things in the broad sense of software, games, books, websites, music, etc. Obscure relative to both what's widely discussed on social media but also what you see here pretty often (i.e. Linux/Fediverse stuff).

 

I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.

Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?
