Some interesting things and others that pissed me off. | [LEARN & EARN]

Here is my entry for the initiative LEARN & EARN, started by @matkodurko who passed the torch to @brittandjosie. She's now hosting the contest every week.

So, here are some of the things I've learned:

---

Monday	If you want to set up a Virtual Linux Server don't use Ubuntu. Pick Debian instead. It will save you from being committed in a mental asylum, trust me! What a nightmare it is to configure a remote machine with Ubuntu. Everything goes wrong, from impossible to install video drivers to disappearing network devices. I don't wish that pain to anyone. So now I know how to do it right, avoiding headaches: can't go wrong with Debian!	Image Source
Tuesday	I've learned, or better, confirmed my thoughts that SteemIt Inc keeps focusing ther efforts, time and resources to improve trivial aspects of the SteemIt.com site. Flags vs Downvotes? Really? That's your priority? What about a decent post editor, like Busy, SteemPeak and eSteem offer? Never crossed your mind?	Image Source
Wednesday	I've learned that once you follow a good amount of content creators on the Steem Network it's humanly impossible to keep track on every good post out there! If there's such great content right now, I can't even imagine when the Steem price its 5€ again!	Image Source
Thursday	I've found out that the more holidays there are in a month, the more productive I am at my work! There should be a holiday every Wednesday! 😂 Resting is good for the mind, body and soul!	Image Source
Friday	The Venezuelan Crisis doesn't seem to have an end in sight. Apparently, the US Government decided, once again, to kick off a regime change in another country. It seems that they are keep doing this until they eventually get it right. They say practice makes perfection, but in the US Government case, practice doesn't seem to have an visible effect. Every time the USA topples a "dictator" somewhere, the resulting mess lasts for decades without end... When will this madness stop?	Image Source
Saturday	Last year, everyone was going crazy with XRP, as it was one of the only alt coins out there going up, while everything else is going down. Today I found out that he company behind it made a huge sell of XRP while everyone else was buying... Half a year later, the tables have turned. It seems that every coin out there is going up, while XRP has been in a free fall for over 6 months now. Lesson learned: If the team behind a coin don't trust it, neither should you. (I'm glad I'm stuck with Bitcoin.)	Image Source
