I'm an oldfag, and I don't mean that in a good way. I just mean that despite growing up I somehow never lost a love for Jow Forums despite Jow Forums being Jow Forums. I know that makes sense,
Listen Jow Forums some of you are not like me, you just got here. Some of you _are_ like me, you've been here forever.
Let's make it like this:
If you are young and or/new, tell us your fears about the future and maybe some of us worthless oldfags can answer.
If you are an oldfag lets talk about how we can help out those carrying the torch.
I'll start with an example of what I'm hoping for.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I was able to adopt hosted providers early and now I have exceptional knowledge regarding the big 3 (azure, aws, gcp) you'll hate it but it is amazing cash I'm going to be stable in life now with a career--and retirement. In 2018. I adopt common sense paradigms. It's modern tech, but my build procs are are all still GNU make. That is what they will always be as a design choice because in this day and age, Make is still the most portable build system, regardless of language.
I try new things, but I don't disparage old tried and true things. Lets talk, new and old Jow Forums lets try to help us both out.
it's a habit of writing Makefiles. Space matters. empty lines with a tab are still empty recipes. That has to resonate with you my mate

Why make over vanilla shell scripts?

Nice thread idea user. If anyone wants to ask about scientific programming in an academic context ask away.

I guess I'm kind of in matter of time, but not in matter of knowledge. So I will throw random questions (legit ones) from time to time to bump you, old man.
I've been wondering lately into trying to learn bash/scripting in a more serious way, but I was thinking if I should try go straight to learn and practice, or let the time dictate what I need to learn based on my needs.

So, oldfa/g/s, I've been wanting to build my own server to host my own site, a mail server, a storage server and a media server. I bought a VPS on Vultr (don't know if that's the best option, but it was one of the cheapest) on Miami (not my first choice, in fact it was my last, but the other were too far away and laggy even through say) and I intend to use Ruby with httpd for a simple static blog. My main questions are: 1. Should I be my DNS provider (the VPS has a static IP) and 2. Is the way I'm going a good one, should I change anything? I want to try Ruby and I like to build stuff from scratch (I'm also comfortable with OpenBSD, I use it as my desktop OS)
