To preface, I know this is a community is for computer science careers, but I could really use your help here Lemmy! There isn't an active IT career questions community.

Background: I believe I'm making the highest for my department. I'm known as the go-to person for troubleshooting T1 and T2 issues and assist other IT technical teams when needed. Additionally, I have experience in programming and basic networking. It's hell here... I'm growing more and more insane day by day.

Living: The expenses are very high in my area VHCOL, but I'm a position where I don't rent and don't have to drive since I work remotely, which both save a ton of money. Money isn't a problem, given my current position, but it will be impactful in terms of future savings, retirement, and relationships if I had to spend on driving and eating out. Yes, I know I can make food and bring it to work.

Intentions: I wanted to transition as on-site IT Technician to gain the experience with working hands-on as opposed to working remotely. With this experience, I'm thinking this would help me a bit when trying to transition onto a Systems Admin/Engineering role in the future.

Me Venting: I know I shouldn't compare, but man I've seen so many folks who come work at helpdesk move onto System Admin roles when they have no idea how to use Active Directory or even know how to do basic network troubleshooting. Will those companies be okay?

Situation: I've got an offer at my current organization for on-site IT Technician but it would come with a pay cut and of course I would be spending more money and time out of my day driving. I definitely want the experience because I think it will further my growth, but I'm being told by everyone to not accept and I should never take a pay cut.

My Thoughts: Yes, I can stay working remotely, gather a billion IT certs, build some home labs at home, but will certs really get me to where I want to go? Wouldn't managers just hear that I don't have IT enterprise experience and shove me off for the next guy who has experience at an MSP? I'm a bit lost here. I am grateful for any advice you have to offer. Thank you

I miss the old posts in Reddit where people would rush to post if there was an earthquake. Small earthquake!!

Tomorrow I'm deleting my 12+ year Reddit account, but before that, I want to delete all my posts and comments. Are there any specific extension recommendations? I tried searching "nuke reddit history" but it's not supported anymore/extension page is gone. There are also new bulk deleting extensions with no ratings that I'm not sure if they're trustworthy.

If there's also an alternative to bulk deleting everything rather than downloading extension, that would work too!

Visit lemmy.world and under local or all tab, new posts keep appearing at the top of my feed. Sort type does not matter. The posts that get loaded at the top consists of many posts from a specific community. After 10 seconds or so, it loads a new set of posts from a different community.

This causes my computer cpu usage to skyrocket and makes my computer stutter. I also can't view pictures on the feed because they will close when new posts are loaded. Any ideas?

Still not the best like the i7 12700k bundle a few days back, but still decent!
