@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] this is in line with my experience on google and ddg. i fucking hate it here. i will tell it filetype:pdf and i'll get non pdf results sometimes
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] sjolsen i genuinely feel so much this. every search feels like i am being gaslit. when opening search i actually have started getting a negative emotion i almost avoid search engines entirely. I have spent hours trying to search for one thing by moving around commas negates, booleans and everything just to give up. I hate it here.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] sometimes I will get answers quicker on fedi by just asking fedi instead of searching for myself because chances are (especially when it comes to technical stuff) someone in my orbit has experience with it already and can give me the relevant documentation. Not 300 SEO optimized stack overflow questions that have been closed as duplicate or are like "How install computer 2024???".
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Want an example? Search "OpenZFS S3 vdev" try a bunch of combinations. Finding out the specific summit in which this was discussed & implemented, along with documentation is nearly impossible. I have only managed to find the youtube video of the summit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opW9KhjOQ3Q All of the results are "S3 vs ZFS? MINIO VS ZFS?". This is what I mean. Knowledge is actively lost without any way of getting it back. I despise googling stuff. I will literally pull up man, github issues, anything. Literally anything else.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Like, trying to search for obscure tech stuff has ended up with me almost crying because of how difficult it can be to sort through things. Back in the day, Hewlett Packard had memory banks and a similar implementation to a classical raid array called "raid memory" or whatever. Try searching up documentation for that, finding anything about it. Impossible.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] https://service1.pcconnection.com/PDF/AdvMemoryProtection.pdf only thing i've been able to find (apart from some youtube videos). A couple of years ago you could find this stuff very easily.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Like it has genuinely made me almost break down going insane "did i make this up" because things I KNOW I saw don't appear anywhere. I'm so glad I have these examples off hand because it's so fucking hard to explain to people why my job gets harder and harder every fucking day.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @sjolsen @solonovamax when i tutor i try to guide people through sifting through the vast mountains of shit as part of their skillset (ie when we need to look something up) and man there is a lot of background info you need to be able to start making sense of the state of the internet lmao
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I was born on the internet I've adapted every way shape and form and it's becoming overwhelmed with noise to the point nothing works. you know, for most of these after the fact I can use something like a specialized database (think the ones used for academic papers and stuff at universities). The problem is when I am just trying to find the exact name or something to give me a lead I can't even find that. It's impossible.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] It's one of the things that drives me away from tech completely. It's a nightmare, it genuinely gives me headaches. Documentation feels like it slips from my finger tips. try finding me Active Directory Federated Services 2022 documentation. Microsoft used to have a deployment guide on learn.microsoft.com. Try finding that. Good luck.

@chrisisgr8 @puppygirlhornypost2 @solonovamax i'm suddenly struck with the realization that this is a basic skill that was taught to everyone for generations before suddenly you could just type anything into the computer: how to find information at a library. our generation i think missed out on that entirely. hopefully the cultural knowledge doesn't die out before it becomes mandatory again

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] > This document contains a list of all of the documentation for deploying AD FS for Windows Server 2016.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Unrelated. Active Directory 2022 has some changes. Yes, I'm sure you could follow the 2016 guide but it's upsetting there's not one for 2022 or 2025.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] it says it also applies for windows server 2022
is that wrong
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] To be honest I have not yet actually followed through the 2016 guide for ADFS because my org didn't need it in the end. I think it's telling though that the entire thing is plastered with "WE RECOMMEND YOU USE ENTRA". ADFS is a core component of a lot of things. It is a powerful system and it allows you to do a lot of cool stuff.

@sjolsen @chrisisgr8 @puppygirlhornypost2 @solonovamax yes, we're concerned by that as well. also, the skills that we were personally taught for finding information on physical books using physical card catalogs have been surprisingly applicable to sorting through online information.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I hate how in tech things can just disappear from existence. I had an app on my phone to control my garmin gps. One day it was just revoked, uninstalled. I didn't notice, i didn't use that app every day. 6+ months to a year later I notice my gps is acting up. Telling me i'm driving off road and trying to get me to take turns into on coming traffic (not good). I search everywhere on my phone for the app. I search online for the app name. Nothing. No results. I find out through old forum posts that they replaced it with a new thing and just revoked the app. That's gaslighting to the supreme. I felt so upset at that, the fact that something I KNEW existed just disappeared without a trace and I could not find anything about it. I fucking hate this place.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] You know, with physical papers, books. information can be outdated yes. it can be lost in a fire. it requires someone PHYSICALLY BREAKING INTO MY HOUSE AND DESTROYING IT to actually disappear. this is not the same with tech. I hate it. One day I can just wake up and things like all my text messages can be completely gone. No dice. I hate it here.
