Yeah they do KYC (know your customer). Pretty straightforward anyway.

And Amos was so great. Both the actor and the character. The books are possibly even better

Oh nice, I knew “when you assume you make an ass of u and me”

Oh right, I’ve read about that on coconut crabs I think. There you go, they are already half there.

Mhh, insects in general IIRC are also constrained by the fact they have exoskeletons: i.e. their internal organs are just in a bag. So they can’t grow too much or they just squish I think.

Imagine them being able to become vertebrates. You can have insects the size of cats I think before the osmosis breathing tubes they currently have are not a thing. Lungs would be the next thing I guess.

Disclaimer: I’m not a biologist and just make stuff up from what I remember from high school biology, and it was last millennium!

make a grocery shopping list (or any to-do list)

Stretch your legs by raising them straight (still sitting down) and rotate your feet

Stretch your arms up and move your neck, rotate your shoulders

Think what went well today

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!

good to know, thank you for the insights! Tbh Tailscale/headscale has been quite stable, so maybe I’ll stay were I am. Or move to nebula because why not? :D

You can selfhost it with headscale (the server). It’s really simple to set up and use. I’m also considering moving to zerotier because a) it’s completely opensource and b) the wifi management software I’m looking into (openwisp) has native integration

I’ve installed ROCM before reading that my AMD GPU does not support it

Nice try mr. Copper! 😝

Maybe fix the social issues as well so there’s no need to riot

I knew there was going to be someone as childish funny as me in here!

Dropped my martini on thinkpad. Dried it out with a cloth the best I could. Nothing happened apart that every time it warmed up it started smelling of Martini

Quit smoking.

Apart from that, it’s been a clusterfuck.

oh wow, didn’t know about that. I did play TA a lot (I mean, I still play it sometimes, big bertha feels sooo good!). But yes, the idea behind them is pretty much the same as TA

it’s about the single player storyline. It feels like BAR is more geared towards online/multiplayer, while zero-k has a proper full single player campaign. Don’t get me wrong, I played with BAR for quite some time and it’s still a great game, I just “clicked” better with zero-k.

Apart some of the already mentioned (mindustry, 0ad, beyond all reasons, zero-k), also minetest (minecraft), destination sol.

l’ve tried hege wars (worms clone) but found it meh. Sometimes supertux.

You shold look into zero-k as well. I started out with BAR but found out zero-k more engaging

I was sitting on the ground doing a puzzle with my kid the other week. Ended up with back pain for two days. I don’t “feel” old until my body reminds me.
