No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Portfolio of...? If you're for hire I'd be interested in perusing, regardless. I'm always grateful to find skilled contacts to work with.
Can't disclose the page here as to not dox myself. But I run and own a software systems company in Germany. We do software development and operate the software for the customer on Linux based servers reliability guarantees and high availability setups. I and several employees have also an academic background in IT security. :) what do you do?
Fair enough, nothing here is really private after all, so I appreciate even that much. I've got a general plan to stand up a Matrix server soon; I'll DM you my handle when I've got it up and running if you'd like to contact me there.
To answer your question in a long-winded but hopefully entertaining read: I don't have an academic background, myself. I dropped out of college and got my certificates like the A+ and CCNA, MCP too back when that was a thing (dating myself a bit). My favorite story is passing the Linux course without the textbook, on the logic that all the information I could need to pass was available on the internet. I was right ๐ Went straight into working in IT after that.
I'm a sysadmin by career, and an indefatigable entrepreneur by nature. My latest venture is a food brand here in the US; I built it with the intent to automate as much as possible so I can run it alongside my day job, from anywhere. Self-funded, which is kind of scary and rather limiting, but this structure gives me endurance to carry on as long as I have gainful employment (or until my other projects bear profit).
I also named my company in such a way that I can expand into other industries naturally, without having to rebrand. That's because I don't have any great passion for food specifically - more of a general desire to produce high quality output that other people can use, or enjoy, or otherwise benefit from, and a lot of different personal interests.
Sounds good. We have a matrix server, let's get together there when we can. :) I started as a sysadmin and with Linux and then went to do security for a while and got into professional software development and keeping the software available and working in 2014. Haven't stopped since. We developed our first own product last year and will begin selling this year. :)
