xyzulu I appreciate your perspective, and I think you raise some valid points, but I also see things a bit differently in some areas.
While I understand that as someone with 20+ years of server admin experience, some newbie questions might feel repetitive or even frustrating, we all had to start somewhere. These forums should ideally serve as a space for everyone, experienced sysadmins and newcomers alike, to learn and grow. Dismissing those who ask basic questions might discourage people who genuinely want to learn.
That said, I do agree that thereās been an increase in discussions where people donāt seem willing to listen or learn, they just want to do things their own way regardless of advice. That can be frustrating for those of us trying to help or maintain constructive conversations. Iāve noticed it too, and I think better moderation could help keep things more focused and productive.
However, I think itās important to recognize that even seemingly ābasicā or āstupidā questions can also lead to valuable discussions. For instance, take the many conversations weāve had around backups. A simple question like āWhatās the best backup strategy?ā might sound naĆÆve at first, but it often opens the door to sharing unique solutions and approaches that even seasoned sysadmins might not have considered. Iāve personally learned a lot from those exchanges.
One thing Iād strongly emphasize is that anyone planning to use Enhance in a production environment should first invest time in understanding Linux, at least the fundamentals. And for goodness sake, stop googling how to start a hosting business.
