Hi, I'm an IT professional with 20+ years of experience. I've done a little bit of everything with Ansible automation and web development as my current expertise. I also do system, network, cloud, SQL development, Python, Java, JavaScript, and etc.
How can we give back to community to improve TheDonald.win?
I would love nothing more than to turn .win into a platform that can take on Reddit head on and kill it. It would be the ultimate payback for what they did to us.
No I meant on discord, you can't see the dev channel unless you message the mods for permission.
But like, do you really think this site has a devops strategy? Bro we're lucky if we even have a QA site to work with. This shit is being bootstrapped by a ragtag group of like 5 pedes who got so fed up with reddit's cuckoldry that they made a really nice clone in like a weekend.
If we get hacked, we get hacked. Our goal should be to mitigate through frequent database backups so that we can restore the site quickly with minimal loss of content.
They already have cloudflare set up which means they are taking some modest security precautions, I think it is safe to presume they have environment files for local and production servers. If it is more than one person developing, then they most likely have local development configurations.
They probably already have most of what is needed to bring on more devs already. Given that, they just need to limit the number of users with super user/root access on the server, release management, and vet the people who do pr reviews.
I do that for most small projects. I might like to help out if they are using a platform and language I am familiar with. If not I might be able to do some front end stuff. Just need to have a contact we can send inquiries too.
