what is your tech new years resolution? i want to get into programming with crystal and so when i get out of high school i can make an app that way i dont have to work long hours at a hair salon by bro has a linux server farm and i have been using that instead of the cloud to avoid them stealing my ideas i took extra math, got into calculus and statistics so i could be a better than average programmer in case there is competition what about you?

I'm learning higher level concepts in functional programming like comonads, transformer stacks, and transducers, FRP, etc.

clean/organize bedroom and ~/home directory create local backups/archives of software for offline use/distribution

Be better at using Gentoo and NetBSD to focus more on real job instead of tinkering

>>66335 Why are you learning crystal

>>66335 >being less online >not buying any new tech unless it need replacement without a chance to repair/salvage

>>66341 >better at using gentoo and netbsd >focus on doing a real job Pic one

>>66338 Advancing my base knowledge in Linux so I don't need the internet if something goes wrong. I'm way too dependent on searching up problems rather than down right learning the issues thoroughly. I also plan on having an offline machine to maintain to get used to the idea of possibly not having internet any longer due to potential problems in the foreseeable future. Kind of as >>66338 mentioned here. Other than that I have ideas to become better with writing code and attempting to get a tech job only if my privacy doesn't pose a issue. Otherwise, I'm not interested in that.

>>66352 Learn to read man and info pages. Pick a shell language and learn it (zsh or fish, bash is crap).

I want to get a job. I'm kinda done with university. Other than that: - I want to actually write an OS that is good enough to run Doom. I have started this kind of project two times before but they both fell a bit short for reasons. - I want to actually publish some useful software. Writing an OS is cool but not very useful, I want to make something that people will actually be glad to use I could very well end these resolutions in 2 weeks or the whole year

>>66350 >focus on doing a real job >focus more on real job Anon, he already has a job

make apps for the hair salon op, lots of pink collar jobs with not tech savvy people that could use something as for me: practice pentesting and partake in ctf challenges more make homebrew games or at the very least romhacks that aren't "x game but the sprites are different" be a less lazy sysadmin goals that only align to my autism and won't change my life but at least i will be happy, hope everyone else can achieve their goals too

>>66335 I've resolved to learn motoko, a programming language for the internet computer/dfinity blockchain. I missed the boat with solidity/ethereum and I have a few friends that made bank making soykafty dapps for psuedoscammers. Motoko is nice, based off rust and the blockchain is still young and in early development. Seems like it could be lucrative over the next 5 years.

The most important: 1) Move my Windows desktop over to Linux. 2) Finish migrating off hotmail. Completing those two will sever my final ties to big tech. That would mean no Microsoft, no Google, no Apple, no Facebook, no other social media of any kind. Personal development: 1) Set up a website. 2) Finish reading and going through the exercises of K&R. Home stuff: 1) Set my home network back up. Moved house and have just had the ISP-provided box. Used to have a proper router, APs, pihole etc. 2) Set up a Jellyfin server for home media. 3) Stop paying for NewsBlur and set up an RSS server. That doesn't seem like a lot to some of you but I think it'll be plenty to do for the year.

>organize my room more >create a better workspace >create small nas based on raspberry pi

>>66335 Mine is to actually learn how to program.

>>66615 See you at >>>/λ/33751 !

>>66335 My new years resolution is to get over my hatred of programming long enough to finish this python module and get on with the actually interesting statistics and maths parts of my degree. I was actually enjoying doing a degree part time until I had to start doing this stuff, I don't know how programmers do it, I open IDLE and my brain switches off, I can do database and logistics stuff all day, set up a system to manage 5000 people's soykaf over last week, spent a solid 4 hours earlier figuring out I needed to use index to multiply specific contents of one list by specific contents of another list This is not a joke, I spent 4 hours trying to write a program that came out to 22 lines including comments. Getting my website up and running is the other thing, pages are all written but haven't done the hosting or domain registration bit yet.

My new laptop has a 4k resolution mfw I have to deal with the mess that is hidpi scaling on linux.

It sounds stupid, but "not buy anything new". I get suckered a lot into new shiny toys, but already have what I need.

>>66677 Just return it and get a laptop with a sane resolution

>>66335 getting better with modern C++. i hate all this template bullshit but i need a job

>>66335 My tech new years resolution is to finally get over my fear/lack of drive to learn programming and linux completely. i use linux and know a bit of zsh and bash but i know that i have no clue of what im doing and i look up 100% of my issues with linux. I feel like if i learn bash I'll have better chances of learning a language and actually retaining it and using it.

I want to build my own linux system. I am sick of every single distro being broken in some way from the moment I install it. I want my system to reflect exactly my values, be optimized for my hardware and my usage, and to know what's in there and why it's needed and not just to have a rigmarole of unknown software and libraries sitting in the background. Then I want to sanitize my internet usage, to use the internet more productively and efficiently, and avoid javascript bloat (just a little may be fine), and stop using harmful services.

>>67122 Gentoo would be a good fit for that

>>66396 Your New Years Resolutions are going to be way more attanaible than you might believe. I am excited for you

>>66683 Once you get used to it, going back to 1080 feels like you've returned to 640x480. I know this board has a hard on for that era, but its another thing entirely to be stuck living it.

>>66335 For OP, it's great that you are not shying away from math. When you get the opportunity I'd also recommend you jump into linear algebra. It will help you in more specialized things like graphics, machine learning, scientific computing, etc.

>>66335 >what is your tech new years resolution 1920x1200

>>67127 Yeah, Gentoo was not what I was thinking about. But I took your advice anyway, I adjusted my goals and I also remember that Gentoo wasn't half bad. So I installed and I'm happy so far. Thank you lain.

>>66335 > i can make an app that way i dont have to work long hours at a hair salon A lot that goes into "making an app" is marketing. The technical part is only a small and mostly irrelevant part of making a business targeting consumers.

>>66335 to stomp matthew prince's head into the ground
