Then it’s really bad parody.

Either way, it’s poorly written.

That was a horribly written article. What is this tabloid trash?

I use NFS with caches (cachefilesd) on a local SSD. Works great.

Yeah, for enterprise you aren’t going to roll it out yourself. They’d use a partner company to help you set it up and configure it for their needs to ensure that it can continue to scale and provide monitoring solutions. It’s too much for one person to do that.

Where are you hosting it? Onsite? Megacorporation’s clod solution? Your cable line? What’s your data recovery plan? 200+ users can generate a lot of data. What’s the security plan? You do know how to harden every aspect of each subsystem, right? What’s the monitoring plan? Not just “is it down” but way more granular for each subsystem. How many tech and phone support people will be on call to help?

You could probably roll it out in a way that would work, but at that scale you should really be using a pro. Especially for a “friend”. Don’t want a tech problem to kill that friendship.

So you should only major in things you already know?

Any decent compsci program starts out assuming the student knows nothing.

Besides computer science is about math, not actually interacting with a specific os.

Zipping a folder has 0 to do with compsci in the first place. Unless it’s a course on compression.

He was there to learn, right? Is a first semester student expected to know specific programs without explanation?

In addition to what others have mentioned if you’re using Home Assistant or an MQTT environment than using the ESPHome tools can make life much easier.

You can also install MicroPython, and with it’s new and improved “mip” (pip for micropython) you can easily find drivers for most things. Micropython doesn’t support “threads” on the esp8266 as such, but can use uasyncio, which achieves the same goal.
