Being 40 and I literally have friends same age as me that are grandparents and some that have new borns. Plus every thing else in between.

Life is interesting. Even if we are born the same day the same year we all grow in LIFE at different rates

Grateful for another year of life. Grateful for family, Grateful for my career in Tech.

Level 40 (March 3rd)

(FYI: There was Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 3 so Super Powers have been activated)

Folks brag about using Arch Linux at HOME but can't automate a task in Red Hat Linux at WORK.

I know I really love tech when I fixed a VPN server issue alone in my house and celebrated like a WWF champ winning the title. No stream, no audience—just me, hyped I solved the problem.

I said I would block people for reaching out to me about Help Desk jobs.

I was getting flooded in my emails. I haven't done Help Desk in over a decade. A bunch of close friends thought I was being a snob and looking down on people.

I am grateful for where I am. I just know there is so much further to go. So much more to learn. More goals to achieve.

It seems in that last post I was being a jerk. It's gone now.

I am grateful to be in a position. Where folks want to hire me for I.T. jobs especially given the economic climate in the United States. My goals are high. My ambition is high. Sometimes that can come off the wrong way.

What NOTE TAKING App do you use for your phone? I been experimenting and trying to find the right one.

Please give me suggestions......

LIFE UPDATE
• Laid off in March
• Savings wiped out
• Temp job paid <25% of old salary
• New job in Oct. New city. FRESH START.

This year broke me—but didn’t finish me.
Grateful to GOD & my family. The storm has passed 🌤️

Proof Of Life.

Its been a while since I been on here

@milesward.com Hey man tried to send you a message.

Just wanted to say hello. Been a while.

LinkedIn sold all of our data. Especially those of us that used LinkedIn Premium.

Also Workday is being sued for its discrimination in the A.I. it used that was developed by HiredScore.

Please be aware......

Keep telling folks don't sleep on AntiX Linux. Especially if you have super old hardware. It works wonders! I used as a daily driver once because I didn't have a laptop at home & my job was throwing out an old laptop that I took home. #Linux #AntiXLinux

In my Linux Essentials class, they dropped a gem—AntiX Linux.

This distro is an absolute lightweight champion, running on the most minimal system specs I've ever seen. And since it's Debian-based, stability is a given.
If Ubuntu feels like home, AntiX will be a breeze. 🚀 #Linux

Decided to pivot away from Docker/Kubernetes and get back to the basics. Building my self back up BRICK BY BRICK.

We are too invested in celebrity drama on Social Media.

Those folks aint thought about us a day in their lives yet people are ready to write think pieces on them and cut people off in their own lives based on how they feel about said celebrities. Worry about your own life.

Windows 10 support ends in Oct 2025, leaving older PCs vulnerable. With Windows 11's TPM requirement blocking upgrades, many will turn to Linux instead of tossing functional hardware. I predict 2026 will be **The Year of Desktop Linux**. #Linux

Thank you! It is a great organization. They help people transition into the Tech Industry

I legit just learned how to pull this up. Always see folks in the Linux Community posting their Linux Machines with a logo (Mostly Arch Linux Users) showing which distro they are using.

It's a program called "Neofetch". #Linux

Completed & Documented my first project in Docker. Come take a look at my blog post! (Video coming soon)

Was curious to see how an A.I. would answer this question..... WHY DO PEOPLE ACT FUNNY WHEN YOU ARE FOCUSED ON IMPROVING YOUR SELF?

Which A.I. tool are you using the most? ChatGPT? Google Gemini? Claude A.I.? Microsoft Copilot?

I personally use Gemini the most since I remember a time I couldn't access ChatGPT.

I'm seeing a lot of people in Linux communities trying Linux because of PewDiePie. I strongly disagree with him and his past actions, but I still want to help newcomers explore Linux. Just know where I stand.

My suspicions were confirmed after seeing who the man was...

I was recognized for my volunteer work in the Tech Industry. Thanks to The Knowledge House for everything. I am happy to serve others.
