As another commenter pointed out, I feel that the biggest change that occurred in the last 6 or so months is that these tools are removing the human "hurdle" in order to complete a task at all costs. The best way to complete the t

I thought this was going in a different direction along some of the thoughts I had around LLMs for programming tasks specifically. While this talks about understanding and how to ensure you're keeping up with what is changing, I feel t

I have been working on a static site generator. I've used Hugo and Jekyll before but everytime there is something you have to learn or get used to and they never map 1 to 1 to the flat structure of a simple blog for example. It's

I have submitted this before, but for those maybe a bit uncomfortable with setting up a VPS to act as an exit node for Wireguard, my article covers most things: https://psyonik.tech/posts/a-guide-for-wireguard-vpn-setup

It is however very patronising to tell people to "Go full vegan, abandon all possessions, and all that". It also isn't useful to reduce the conversation and assume that critique directed at the idea of necesarily going out an

TL;DR - please stop wasting tons of resources putting together new servers every year and turning this into yet another outlet for "I have more money than sense and hopefully I can buy myself into happiness". Just get old random h

I had wireguard on docker before for some containers, but it felt clunky and it over complicated the network stack in my head (I'm unfortunately not very skilled in networking in general). So I said that I'd go back to the root an

I mentioned that as an alternative along with Headscale and Nebula. Not for me though! At least not now.

I want to make a few points to help clarify some of the choices and why I made them. This is very helpful and I appreciate all the comments as it highlights how some things are clear in our head but we don't end up sharing that with an

I put Zorin OS on my dads old laptop 5 years ago and I think the only time I got a question was when someone setting up his new internet was digging through network settings but hadnt used any Linux distro before. Even then it was a 5 min c

I have looked at that briefly, I think I had gone with pihole in the end for the ability of having a UI to easily see any resolution issues and local dns management (which, I think, is also present in Unbound but not in a UI but via configs

This is such a good point. I've changed jobs a lot and one thing consistently bad (to varying degrees) is documentation and tutorials specifically. "Download X and setup" "It's not working..." "Oh yeah, yo

This is really great. I've managed to convert a few people to talk over Signal and while I am backing up my chats to my home server (I see you will be offering something like this in the future), this wasn't really an option for t

I've been reading these posts for the past few months and the comments too. I've tried Junie a bit and I've used ChatGPT in the past for some bash scripts (which, for the most part, did what they were supposed to do), but I c

So, as someone who has applied to a lot of jobs and has had a lot of jobs, I'm going to be a bit more critical here. I think the amount of information they gave is sufficient for a take-home. Make an email client, email view+send, fake

Not sure how these are that "new" seeing as Toto (and I'm almost assuming other Japanese brands too) have had designs like the Nautilus for some years. One of the things that stuck with me a lot after a trip to Japan was exac

I've built a few small personal projects using Vim with NERDTree only in C#. I keep doing this every few months (small means the solution has around 4-5 projects and it performs a few clearly defined little functions) and it is really

well, most of the job hops were from jobs I didn't want to do in the first place, but I needed to do. Two of those jobs were about 4 months, so that brings it down to 7 jobs in 9 years and 2 months. Two more were 1 year each, so now we

My argument is that most peopl, the very mast majority does not have the same option to pay less tax as a percentage of their salary. Complaining about having a huge advantage over the majority, while suffering from the same problem does sm

One aspect that shocks me is someone complaining about having a 15.3% tax rate at an income of 84k/year. If your state is incompetent, corrupt and whatever else, its your duty as a citizen to do something about. Barring that, I guess p

I think the survivorship bias is strong in this thread. This is a normal flow though when we consider where we are. Because of this, my suggestion is not to let the opinions of people online (whoever well-read and educated they might be) to

I had 7 jobs in the last 9 years. I've quit all of them. I interviewed at probably 50-60 places during this time and I'm currently moving to my next role, so I'll begin the 8th job in 9 years. To practice interviewing you nee

I'm not sure why people are asking for search queries and posting search reaults. These are either way filtered by the profile determined for you as a "category" or cohort of users. So saying that Google is useful for a gener
