Hi from All! I've been running Immich alongside my usual Google Photos to make sure it does a good job before making the switch. A year ago I would have said no. Nowadays I think it's a great alternative for some, if you're a bit tech savvy. Perhaps someday it'll offer something like Ente, which I have also heard great things about.

Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I'll try and throw out a few curve balls:

  1. AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain't a bop.
  2. The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
  3. Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
  4. Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
  5. Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don't want lyrics cluttering my head.

Masters in Architecture. Required to become a licensed architect. Almost every facet of the job can be done without a degree/license. Most of my coworkers only have a bachelor's, if that. You typically just get paid more and can get more responsibilities (and, by extension, liability) with a license.

It's not open source, but I got a lifetime license for Enpass over a decade ago and it's done everything I've ever needed it for. I think stacksocial occasionally has new lifetime codes for sale. I like the idea of Proton Pass as others have said, but it feels a bit like putting all my eggs in one basket, which is a mistake I already made with Google before (context: I use Proton for email). I think Keepass is the next best option if dedicated to staying FOSS.

I pay for a low tier and use uBlock to hide the buttons advertising higher tiers.

After trying Zorin and having a host of issues, I'm slowly replacing that dual boot option with Mint. Excited to give it a shot.

I would fuck with an Abercrombie takeover so hard.

There could be one more to differentiate engineers from architects. Do you like to solve problems (engineer) or create them (architect)? Fun flowchart!

Visual designer for websites. There are many others like it. I used webflow for multiple projects and really enjoyed it. Haven't touched it for a couple years though. Once I ran out of commercial projects to use it for, I couldn't afford to keep it for personal use.

First I'm hearing of CachyOS, very interesting! Have had my eye on Zorin, personally, as it seems like a pretty clean transition from a life of Windows. Haven't looked at how it does with games.

Can't quite get past the hump of needing Autodesk and Adobe software to be functioning flawlessly and easily accessible. A VM might suffice but that also sounds a little clunky and need to test it out.

Also stuck on Windows but for specific software (Adobe & Revit). Zorin has looked like a promising distro for a little while now, at least coming from Windows.

 

I am a registered architect. As an active contributor to one of the most damaging industries to our climate (construction & building systems), I often daydream about pivoting careers into something more productive for the planet. I'm not talking about stuff like green washing or ~LEED accreditation~. Even sustainably-focused jobs are hard to come by and usually pretty regionally specific. Architects have a broad set of skills, and it's not always clear where I can take those skills and put them to better use.

Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated as I hop into my mid-life crisis before 30.
