@manulfk yes! That would be awesome. If you're happy to share, I'm happy to contribute to the humble contribution you made.

@kungtotte @codesections

A lot of people are asking "it depends what you want to do with the code" which is a very good point.

Basically, I don't want to make the big app for Linux or anything, but I would like to do the following:

- Automation (install scripts etc.)
- Contributions (bug fixes etc.)
- interesting stuff - I don't know what I don't know, I just want something that's easy to play with and explore.

Make sense?

Sooooo many awesome responses! Thank you everyone. Seems like the front runners are Python, JS and Go. I have some research to do. 😁

@tdemin correct. It's good to learn new stuff, purely for the sake of learning it. 👍

@cbowdon

@mike @ChrisWere I suppose this will force me to delete that win 10 partition I keep hanging around. Mainly because my printer doesn't work in Linux.

I don't really know any coding languages. I'm OK with HTML/CSS, and I know a bit of VBA, but that's about it.

I have very little free time at the moment, but am thinking about learning a new language. Any recommendations on a useful and simple to pick up first language?

I was thinking maybe Python?

@timapple I tried that, with OwnCube - wasn't impressed with Nextcloud though.

To me, it feels like they're running before they can walk.

@codesections go for it!

@measlytwerp

@gemlog @measlytwerp go for it!

@mike I feel like I'm in your world! 😁

So it's 03:35 here in the UK. My on-call shift for the weekend started 2 hours ago, and guess what; yep, that's right, I already got my first page.

I think it's gonna be one of those weekends. 😕

@isak I have an account, but early use it.

@SKYQuest please stop resharing this post. We get it, you've moved.

@YugiohMaster88 welcome buddy!

@codesections I really like destination Linux too.

As a curve ball, not tech related, but an incredible generalist podcast that tells some incredible stories - this American life.

@codesections @desitively @poetgrant @fosstodon @mike yeah, we need to discuss a few more things within the team. The delay is me here - I've been super busy with work and had builders in, so haven't been able to commit much time to Fosstodon the last couple weeks.

Shoukd have it all up and ready soon.

@codemonkey what you planning on hosting on it?

@measlytwerp that's so cool!

@codesections @brandon yup; security though obscurity.

@codesections @measlytwerp me too!
