Depends on how niche. Some stuff unfortunately only comes from truly large user bases. At a guess, the further you go from a tech/liberal core and overlapping hobbies, the longer it will take for the content to emerge.

The people who are here are more willing to post. So less of us overall but also less lurkers.
Hey now! Gitlab ci is totally fine so long as your simply running your build.sh file out of it. Anything more and your risking madness.
It's a little more complex then that.
First we need to draft a project to keep the PMs happy. Then test the change...
Then get it through change management...
Or just have our friends in secops make it a security call and a priority. Not saying I've done this before - no sir.
First off, aiming to start in security is a fools errand. Security is one of the many paths that your career might take after you gain some knowledge.
Some more random thoughts before real advice. The two hardest things in IT are getting into help desk, and getting out of it. The reason is two fold: 1) help desk is the great entry point for the greater IT industry, and 2) one person in a help desk role is fairly similar to another when it's time to move out of help desk.
Now: If you have the time, go to your local community college and take their it/networking/security program. The degree will help - you won't skip help desk (unless your lucky), but you are better equipped for getting out of it. You will also learn a bunch of stuff, get some projects to stick on a resume, etc.
If you don't have that time you can go the cert route. Be warned however - certs do not substitute for real experience. Do not fall for the trap of thinking that getting X cert is your ticket to Y job. You will be in for a ride awakening when your sitting across from someone like me that only asks situational, hypotheticall questions with no correct answer ( I care about how you think and approach problems over book smarts).
Ok. Last bit of advice: the 10 things I look for (in order) when interviewing entry level help desk.
- customer service skills,
- ability to learn,
- customer service.
- some mild interest in tech.
- customer service.
- the ability to learn troubleshooting.
- customer service.
- the ability to admit you don't know..
- customer service.
- not being an asshole.
I can teach you how to fix a printer, design a network, or spin up infrastructure in the cloud. I can't teach you how to act around people.
It's $100. In 2023 that does not even cover groceries for a middle class household of four for a week.
If you want to advocate absolute austerity to someone who has no expenses yet - go for it. Me? The world is shitty enough as is - of something's going to make you happy, and you have no other expenses, go for it.
Don't spend your money because it's a " good deal". In theory your guardian(s) are covering the expenses the rest of as as adults just accept. Therefore take advantage and spend your money on what brings you joy.
Just use npm to install all the dependencies. What's the worst that can happen.
So for years I was similar on reddit. Then I realized I could use my account as a bookmark organizer for subs I was interested in.
Never posted anything however. Here I have alts with post history. Interacting is still taking some getting used to.
As someone who manages a Google workspace instance currently, God I wish I had exchange for my email service.
Telecos make minimal amounts on the hardware - its all in the batshit insane service costs. To give an (out of date ) example, back when ATT was getting rid of contracts I talked with some people who knew the ins and outs. On the contract model, the first 6 months paid for the device subsidy and the network, the last 18 months was pure profit. They where all super excited about the financial gains of no longer needing to do phone subsidies, but still have the customer locked in for 2+ years.
What about the fact that any DnD universe is inherently functioning a set of non euclidean rules with respect to geometry? We know this because moving at a diagonal takes the same amount of movement as a square in one of the cardinal directions.
