Fuck, we were talking to an expert

I always tell the interviewer what they want to hear. Its very obviously a game of correct answers.

I lie on my resume too, but not in ways I can't back up.

For instance, I imply I have a degree because I did go to college for 4 consecutive years for a multitude of degrees. So I have different resumes with different majors depending on what job I'm applying to. I mostly use my CS/Engineering degree now-a-days. I'm able to talk the talk enough that they've never checked or asked for a transcript.

But it sounds more like your job wanted to, on paper, be compliant with workers rights stuff

"We offer a break at X and Y hours."

But had a cultural expectation to not follow it. Which is dumb and they can, in my humble opinion, get fucked. Nursing has a massive burnout rate and shit like that is why.

I think you should recognize you dodged a bullet more than you should think about "lying" in an interview.

You didn't ghost her first of all. Inadvertently or otherwise.

This is a pretty easy way to gauge someone's interest by just seeing if they ever message you first.

Really you should just take this as a sign to move on and work on relationships that are two sided. Ones where the other person texts first.

Sorry its happened to you, but its always better now then after you've invested a serious amount of time and emotional energy into a relationship.

I gotta see my spell work damn it!

Ya know. I don't know. Every state does this as far as I can tell and so I've never questioned it.

If I had to guess, its how the DOT or Highway department shills to Tue new governor

"Hey look boss, we put ya name on da side of Interstate 69 from Illinois!,"

We had users at work who swore by that so hard that my boss bought licenses for "Classic Shell" that just did that.

Usefulness wise, the pinned program and search method is objectively much better.

I'm gonna say it.

I thought windows 8/8.1 were very fun

Putting Coreboot and NordVPN on the same tier is crazy

Slop

The fact that gods and magic also seemingly exist really fucks me up because its explicit in Tue original book that god is just a tool for smarter people (Foundation) to manipulate dumber people (everyone else).

Obnoxious atheist take? Sure I guess.

But it feels as if someone rebooted harry potter and made the kids saying something nice about trans people or Jews.

Legitimately, if they had just done a "A Foundation Story: Empire" and then just did the genetic dynasty stuff, I don't think any of us would be mad.

But I don't think general audiences have read much Foundation these days so they would have struggled to set it in that universe without an established Foundation Cinematic Universe.

Anyways, I'm super excited for Tue Foundation super cut that's just Empire.

That really adds to the evidence that he's always been a sell out.

Its obvious in retrospect but now that he's a right wing grifter its hard to avoid now.

That's what I was thinking too. Ijust feel better having another layer between the open web an my server

True but I'm wanting to run VMs for specific tasks as well (mostly game servers) and I like to virtualize Linux distros I wanna play with as well as keep a running windows VM for the off chance I need windows ever.

Apartment is too small and my partner is too noise sensitive to get away with a rack. So my localLLM and Jellyfin encoder plus my NAS exists like this this summer. Temps have been very good once the panels came off.

Ansible is next on my list of things to learn.

I don't think I'll need to dedicate all of my compute space to K8s probably just half for now.

The rats nest is behind it

I need to re do some of the wiring.

I have all 4 power cables braided and zip tied together with the single data cable so its nice to pull out and put back into the entertainment center.

Only problem is I only had four 1 foot Ethernet cables and three 7 foot cables. So I used the 1 footers for the Pis and the 7 footers are bundled up as best I could and neatly hidden.

I'm waiting on some color coordinated .5 foot cables from Cables and Kits and I will swap the switch and patch panel. I want the Pis to have that one cable and that's it, but I also want all the patch panel ports to work.

Rack shown

This is a 52pi 10 inch rack 8U

I have 4 raspberry Pi4's 4gb running with POE

Some TP-link gigabit switch with 4/poe ports

3 Thinkcentre Tiny with a ryzen 5 2400GE 32 gigs ddr4 RAM, 512 Sabrent PCIE Gem 4 NVME boot/VM drive, 512 PNY Sata SSDs for databases

I have a bigger server for AI stuff and storage. This is just Tue "production" server for my websites and Git repos

I stole the set up idea from my man Jan Wildeboer
