    Now why do I know this game... I didn't have any Nintendo stuff but I did have an Amiga. Mumble mumble going to check (I still have the Amiga and all the floppies)

    linux is easy... to break things. But look at all the amazing things you'll learn recovering from that!

    The pain will pass and the endorphines will be amazing. I should know, I've been in similar shit way too many times.

  • Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more

    Seems to me the whole argument boils down to "they (the passkeys) are generally saved in proprietary non-communicating stores", which is fair. But then the problem is not the passkey, it's the fact that we (as usual) give all our stuff to corps. It's the eternal struggle of easy of use vs. better security.

    I host my own vaultwarden btw 😊

    Well glad to see you didn't need help in the end! 🙂 great job!

    Some ideas are just too terrifying to implement

    Home automation is really helpful to solve those issues. Heating will turn off if a window is open for more than one minute. Heating schedule is controlled centrally (and enforced every few minutes, so even touching the thermostat has no impact). I'm trying to move to presence sensors as well to cut on the lights on forever.

  • Keep Tier-One Applications Out of Virtual Environments

    There is so much old and creaky stuff lying around and people have no idea what it does. Beige boxes in a cabinet that when we had to decommission it the only way to understand what it does was doing the scream test: turn it off and see who screams!

    Or even stuff that was deployed as IaC by an engineer but then they left and so was managed "clickOps", but documentation never updated.

    When people talk about the Tier1 systems they often forget the peripheral stuff required to make them work. Sure the super mega shiny ERP system is clustered, with FT and DR, backups off site etc. But it talks to the rest of the world through an internal smtp server running on a Linux box under the stairs connected to a single consumer grade switch (I've seen this. Dust bunnies were almost sentient lol).

    Everyone wants the new shiny stuff but nobody wants to take care of the old stuff.

    Or they say "oh we need a new VM quickly, we'll install the old way and then migrate to a container in the cloud". And guess what, it never happens.

    As @candyman337@sh.itjust.works said, use a recruiter/agency. Post your CV to indeed and reed. It depends also where you are, in EU the job boards are different than US I guess. Speaking of LinkedIn, have you posted a message saying "hello world, I'm open to work and I've experience at this $stuff", and then ask your friends to share it. I got a couple of contacts that way.

    Also, look for a resume builder/parser. Quick search gave me https://www.open-resume.com/ https://noted.lol/open-resume/

    Pretty much everyone uses a CV parser when you apply, so if your is not formatted properly it's properly one of the reasons you get rejected. Another reason is that probably they recognize you are above what they need, so they know that a) you'd be expensive and b) probably get bored fast and leave. Put stuff you have experience with, specifying what your experience is, what your contributions were to the project etc. Saying "5 years of experience on $language" is not very meaningful. Writing "I created a Perl program to import data from Word docs to a MySQL DB, optimizing the code to use no explicit variables" (true story btw) is better. Or most likely "worked on $project for $industry, implementing $modules and enforcing $best_practice, collaborating with the wider team and helping mentoring other junior developers". Don't forget to mention non-technical skills. Companies look for someone whom is nice to work with more than someone who knows everything. A guru that alienates people is less worthy than someone that maybe don't know everything (and admits it) but can talk to others.

    Re: time wasters. Holy shit 8 round of interviews! Even MS and AWS are less than that! MS was the biggest in my experience with 5 (but tbh it was all in a day, so not a horrible drawn out process, just different people). But you can ask at the beginning when speaking with the hiring manager what's the process, and you can decide if it's something you want to spend time on or nah.

    Best of luck and don't be discouraged! I had a 3 months dry spell once, applying every day to multiple roles and being rejected. It's part of the game I'm afraid. Venting helps. Not getting a job immediately is not a failure in your part.

    Best of luck!

    after my first reply I noticed that also her collarbone looks a bit weird. But the others are much better (and proper hands!).

    I think the best one person wise is the top right or bottom left Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shit all over your work, I'd never be able to do what you are doing, just trying to give some impartial advice.

    Way to many fries on bottom left (but great person figure), weird burgher on top right. And weird text on bottom right (I know it's another known issue with AIgen).

  • Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff. I don't want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I'm ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I'd like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting. I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I'm pretty sure there are better options out there. I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi everyone! Can someone please recommend a game without monsters (but with animals)? I am running my minetest server at home and I'd like to start playing with my kid, but I really don't like the monsters bit. I just want a game where we can explore and build things together. Thanks! ETA: For anyone looking for the same thing: I've added the option `only_peaceful_mobs = true` in minetest.conf under minetest/data/games/mineclone2 I've waited for the next night cycle and no monsters spawned. But a cow mooing behind me scared lol. Thanks to [@GrappleHat@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/GrappleHat) for the tip!

    Hello everyone! I currently selfhost a matrix server but, seeing everyone talking about xmpp, I decided to try again with that one. I did try about 8-9 years ago but couldn't make it work (don't remember the issue, probably pebkac). My requirements are: - e2ee (I see OMEMO is the solution for this); - audio/video calls (looks like all the main clients/servers supports this with SIP or similar); - whatsapp bridge: this is very important as I currently use my matrix with element to chat (not calls) with all the whatsapp contacts. Would be nice if the server runs with docker images (but I see Prosody has the option so not an issue). So basically I am a bit stumped only on the whatsapp bridge thing. I see some github repos for that but they all seem quite old. Any help, pointers, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    after a few months of tries this one looks better! - 200gr wholemeal stoneground flour - 80gr spelt flour - 100gr white flour - 100gr starter - 250ml water (actually a smidge less than that) - salt Folded 5 times every 30 minutes. Let it rest for a 5 hours on the kitchen counter, degassed (well, that's just a fancy word, it just deflated when I poked it lol), then let it rest overnight (12 hours) in the fridge. Cooked in the oven inside dutch oven. Let it cool for 24hours before cutting it. Taste good, it's not as wet as the previous experiments where I just let it rest overnight in the fridge. It's "dense", which in a way is good because if the holes were too big the butter/peanut butter would just drip through! But I'd like to have it a just a bit more fluffy I guess. I know the starter is good because when I feed it it grows like crazy (and smells good). Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean). I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA
