I saw that list, and figured that they were distancing themselves from obsolete encryption (MD5 & SHA-1), as well as remove database management from their scope (which seems like the right move, IMO).
If any of you happen to still be on Reddit, I actually maintain a "catalog" of these newer languages, as they come across my radar. One of my more recent finds is MiniScript, which the author of that has been using to port a fair amount of classic BASIC games from that GitHub archive I posted about recently. I got sucked into Nim, which seems like a good synthesis of Python, Javascript, and C++; c/nim exists for anyone interested.
It looks like ceev.io is winding down, so may want to do something else instead. My current one is based on a Google Docs resume template, saved to an ODF file for LibreOffice: I find its editing and PDF export to be more reliable for this purpose. Scanning resumes, https://www.jobscan.co/ has come up in searches & I think I used it in the past; can't remember off-hand what it was I was using before.

Unemployment will ask you to track your job applications and will usually demand documentation as well; I had to do this in Florida and California. Keep a log of your applications, and use it to follow up with places as you can. I have an example I posted for showing others.

You may need to reformat your resume to ensure it can pass the ATS systems for acceptance into HR systems and/or auto-filling applications. Some resumes & CVs like to have you rank your skills: skip that; it's arbitrary & throws off the scanners. But you may need a keyword section, ugly as it is, highlighting what you have used in the past. Also, a friend gave me a tip to reformat some of my job summaries with the help of ChatGPT; this will have some trial-and-error, but it might be helpful.

As you start looking for jobs, notice what people are asking for. There might be skill sets you are lacking that you can use this time to improve upon. I'm an IT generalist myself: I struggle to figure out what exactly I should be targeting, but cloud-systems (AWS & Azure especially) come up a lot in my searches.

Actual job hunting... I've had luck with LinkedIn, GlassDoor/Indeed, Reddit, and even have looked on Craigslist. There might be other websites that folks have come up with to help laid-off folks find work; I see those posted to LinkedIn a fair bit.

As was already said, don't forget to go over your budget & start figuring out the hard breakpoints between staying in your field, vs "I need work tomorrow". That being said, nobody's shared with me the secret to looking like you're not going to bail for something better / more-fitting; remember that they're hiring with basically the same criteria for their needs, as you will in your own field.
I hope this helps. Good luck out there.
It's still a relatively new community, all things considered. I helped spin up a Discord for the r/ipv6 folks, else we've been trying to decide if we should have folks come here too. I reached out to the mod for insight.
Hey there! Yeah it's me, from r/ipv6. Thanks for pointing that out about Cloudflare, I forget it can do that. And hope you are keeping well!
If you're not opposed to AI-tooling, Rubberduck and GitHub Copilot are useful. The former is free, but requires an API key (and subscription past trial use) from OpenAI; the latter is $10/mo for individual users.
https://shatterzone.substack.com/p/ai-is-coming-for-your-children Robert Evans just had a two-part "Behind the Bastards" about this topic, in particular about grifters trying to sell folks on cranking these out en-masse to children. He's usually not one for moral panics, as much as this sounds like such, but it is a potential issue.
https://programming.dev/ pings over IPv6. Basically, any instance being hosted via Vultr should have IPv6 by default.
Good to know. You make a good point about the direction of traffic: folks will definitely pull more from here, than folks here requesting from other servers. And TIL inbound traffic is free on Vultr, so you don't have to worry about that cost at least.
I saw some folks posting that they were doing Lemmy instances with cheap Vultr instances. Are you using something similar? And how's the bandwidth going with peering to other nodes? I've toyed around with the idea of starting my own node.
He went from a let-and-let-live, free-loving libertarian; to a more "kooky" libertarian. IMO, he was more palatable 20 years ago than now; though it's hard to top the fall-from-grace Stallman has had...
