Introduce yourself

Hello all,

I'm born/raised in the US in the state of Pennsylvania and currently work at a local MSP.

I've been watching Eli the Computer Guy since I was in college in 2016 and love the content and recently found this Silicon Dojo platform.

Excited to work through the Python series and very much appreciate the work Eli does!

Hello,

I was scheduled for a group call with you guys last night... However my children got in the way of my plans. And I ended up missing it completely. I hope to schedule a new one soon so I can get help on launching my url... The java is done and I am told by a friend, a microsoft legend it "should work now". I will explain more in our next call. But if someone can help me with this precise question... That would save me much time and effort.

What format/brand should a microSD have, to be used in an arduino shield for a webserver? I have tried the two standard ones in the card already, ExFAT and NTFS.

None are working, if anyone knows of a brand that works for this use it would be real helpful as I have already bought one card, Sandisk ULTRA A1 XC, where after delivery I realized only has two options exFAT and NTFS.

A new micro SD is not expensive but there are no clear formatting descriptions on any websites I can find.

Please reach out if you can help I got the coding skills and infrastructure needed to get all this done in my cupboard already. just need this, I believe to launch my first homegrown, url. All I can promise in return is laughter.#dogecoin can be discussed...

Hello,

Thank you, Eli, for your contribution.

I'm a tinkerer at best. I dropped out of Electrical Engineering but have always been into tech.

I'm looking forward to establishing my own homelab setup. Here in my country, we have cheap internet, and I'd like to learn how to create my own cloud setup.

I'd love to learn about reverse engineering, but our devices have locked bootloaders, leading to an e-waste pileup.

To an extent, I believe that what we were taught in school about "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" can be implemented at a hardware scale. However, we need people like you who provide such high-quality teaching for free because collective action can only take place among the conscious. We must realize our digital sovereignty.

Hello everyone,

I am from Belarus, but I lived in America from when I was 18. I’m interested in everything computer related including graphic design and website engineering (CSS, Java, HTML, React, etc)… I also like social media.

My hobbies include jumping, running, mechanical engineering and coincidentally I also like Corgi butts)))

It’s nice to meet you!

Hi everyone,

Am originally from Sweden but as a child I spent alot of time in Colorado, long "lost" family lived in Wray, but now I they are in Boulder. I am coming to visit them, in October...

I would then like to attend at least one class with Eli at the legendary location of Silicon Dojo.

I had a very unusual upbringing here in Stockholm, thanks to my uncle, gave me the 2-86, 3-86, 4-86, as soon as the new one came, he is a "microoft legend" I am not sure what or if he "invented" but he gave me a full setup of ardunios and motherboards, and I now want to make my own url..

Yesterday I checked the microSD and its formatted to exFAT... I have seeen Elis class on building my your own server using arduinos, and I do not know why its not working.

I want to do this for many reasons. One is to "punk" Google. I don't want to show my cards before the hand is dealt but if anyone is interested in poking fun of a powertful company, let me know.

Nathan fielder is my inspiration...

I know the US has powerful FoS laws, expecially for comedians, why I am one on X.

@crazyswedeee I am there because thats what I remember coach Cure calling me.

Let me know if you can help me do this? Any help is appreciated. I promise at least a beer at Cabelas in return.

Lucas

Hi Everyone,

I'm Troy and I am an older guy (52) who has always had a passion for tech but got distracted from it for the past 25 years or so working in professional psychology. I've loved the work in psych but it has become increasingly 'soft' and non-technical recently and I am finding myself longing for experiences in electronic/tech circles as an 'antidote' to that. I am also in recovery for alcohol as my 'drug of choice' and have experienced the 'recovery' industry in mental health via first-hand experience and let me just say that while there are a number of very wonderful people in recovery (and professionals), there is a lot that is 'messed up' and often downright harmful in their approaches. I'm really interested in throwing myself into emerging technologies (machine learning, AI) and how they can be leveraged to assist people in recovery from addiction and creating logical and truly helpful tools (like social networking applications for peer support) for those who want to support one another in staying sober and living great lives. Looking forward to learning and connecting to others with an interest in developing technical skills here at Silicon Dojo!

Hello Everyone,

I have worked with computers since the age of 6 dating back to dos. I have dabbled in VB, HTML, CSS, C+, Java, and now i have been learning python. I have never mastered any language. I have been working in IT as helpdesk for the last 4 years and want to move up. I have ADHD which makes it hard to study a skill set for long periods of time but to move up, Which im looking at either cloud or programming, I need to learn python to do that. Knowing the basics of all the languages i have touched i have come to feel like im in a loop and need to really learn more so i can be an advanced python programmer. I wouldnt mind making some android apps which now they use Kotlin with Java so thats another language i will have to learn but that will come later.

I look forward to hearing from everyone and learning all that i can so i can really earn what im worth in the IT industry and hopefully help others as we make this Journey together.

Hello Lovely World and The Special Computer Geeks & Nerds,

I am Jennifer Anya. I have had a varied path. I have done programing, networking, QA, Project Managment -but not titled PM-, built computers, database manager. Then, I even jumped ship by becoming an RN and am trying to climb back on board.

Howdy.

Joined the site because I wanted to explore a Wix site after hearing you gush about it. I'm considering moving hosts and I'm pleasantly surprised myself!

Also, this is the type of fever dream I can get behind. Forward and forward the ball goes. Will it stop? Who knows.

In all seriousness, I'm a 9-5 tech professional who had a rocky start education-wise. The mentors I had growing up are the reason I'm gainfully employed and I always look for ways to pay it forward.

In one of your blobs you mentioned moving to a sort of "anti-tech" city. I recently moved to such a city in the midwest and it got me thinking about what you said.

Happy to see this gaining traction and I hope to see more, even if it means less time devoted to RAWRs.

Hi, I am Shafie.

I learnt Python from Dr. Chuck py4e.com and now I am working my way with Eli's videos, focussing on OpenAI at the moment. I want to understand what is going on with this tool, and how I can use it for work and personal lives. I want to improve my Python skill so working a prototype involving the language and OpenAI. I am leveraging a lot on Eli's videos on OpenAI, which I found are very useful and above all, they are clear to me. Hopefully, I can share the prototype to whoever is interested. Cheers.

Howdy, I'll go by Rifts. I'm work in IT, Technical Services, for a larger fortune company. I've dabbled a bit in everything. Mainly learning Python with Flask at the moment with the goal to build smaller sites for impact oriented organizations. I enjoy learning about a bit of cybersecurity and broader IT ideas.

Hello, my name is Ivan.

I started learning programming in 2014 with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, and I worked with CodeIgniter and WordPress. Then, in 2017, I transitioned to Python and Django. I live in Dnipro, Ukraine. Since the summer, I've been looking for a job, which has turned out to be a challenging task here.

Currently, I'm learning FastAPI, asyncio, and DevOps.

Hello, I am Patrick Been trying to learn to programming for a while or a long while. I keep jumping from JS TS Python GO RUST Ruby but I have not gotten good at any of them but I keep jumping back between them week to week so that helps to explain it. I look forward to seeing others gain skills here and where I might fit in
