Eh, if you’re into computers, you’ll find your way. My first “programming” adventures were writing batch/vb scripts and putting them in the startup folder and watching the teacher lose their shit when when their computer turned off after five seconds. Or watching all of the classroom open and close the CD drives 50 times when we were the first to have an IT class that day.
Glad you can read and repeat stuff! I presented it as such to avoid wannabe smartasses, guess they still arrived. Since we’ve touched on the subject of managers and hiring, do you often hear the phrase “not a cultural fit”? Wouldn’t surprise me.
If an old geek argues with a senior architect about architecture, I kinda think the architect is the one who’s right in 99% of cases.
Sure, sure, old man. Everything was better when you were young.
There never was a majority of people who were into computers. It was always a minority. And I’d argue that nowadays there’s more developers because there’s simply more people with access to computers.
Some of them won’t like them, some will be neutral and some will be “geeking around”.
And having seen some code from people both older and younger, the younger ones are better (note that it’s my anecdotal evidence). And you at least can train the younger ones, while the “experienced” will argue with you and take energy out of your day.
I’m so tired of the stupid “when I was young, everything was better”. You know what else was exactly the same? The previous generation telling you how everything was better when they were young. Congrats, you’re them now.
Loved that browser, it was so amazing compared to all the half-assed default browsers. Good old days of J2ME.
I also used its bigger brother on Symbian because it rendered the web better, but it was way too memory-hungry.
IIRC, that’s exactly it. You can either use their GUI (which is not half bad) or you can use the docker command in the terminal after you install the package.
The easiest would be using docker, you can set up the container to always restart, that way it will be started automatically on NAS restart.
You can also download node.js from the Synology software center and manually add a cronjob to run after reboot, but the docker way is probably the best way to go.
Given the person said they’re 28, I’m actually older. And I decided to not be a dick about it and to not pretend that everything was better when I was young. Everything was different, sure. Some things were better, some were not. But I decided to not do the whole “back in my days” thing because I always found it stupid and luckily that didn’t change with age.
