Honestly, I miss the golden age of streaming. But now that it’s gone and we are basically stuck with cable, I’m cancelling all my accounts, I cancelled Netflix last year, prime early this year. Never had crave, it was basically garbage since it was introduced.

New exactly what it was before I clicked. That fight scene is iconic.

If it’s not your experience, then I would look at your interview skills.

Your resume only gets you a conversation, you have to sell yourself to them.

Are you confident when you interview? Not too confident to be cocky though, but enough that you know what you are talking about if someone were to ask a question.

Ask questions during the interview. Ask them what they like about working there. Act interested and engaged and you will stand out among the rest.

OK, You have a degree

What is your experience like?

What is your field in tech?

What make you senior?

Another important question, where are you located? This can make a huge difference, if you are looking in a small town for senior tech jobs then you aren’t going to get much.

Right now, tech jobs aren’t doing well since companies over hired, then decided to shed those positions. But Senior positions are usually always in demand.

You’ve been looking for work for 3 years? Have you been out of work for 3 years? If you’ve been out of work for 3 years, what type of tech do you do?

Infrastructure? Administrator? Developer? Security?

Have any certifications? HR likes to see those even if they are basic ones.

Since it’s been 3 years, have you been keeping your skills up to date? Tech changes so rapidly, take for example, I completed my AZ-305 2 years ago, since then I’ve had to renew twice and each time the test has new stuff. Azure tech changes constantly.

My current position is Senior Consultant, I got it by leaving a different position and contracting for a few years. A big consulting firm scooped me up on my second contract.

Satisfactory

Flair was the one who flew from Toronto to Saskatoon, realized it couldn’t land because of construction (even tho they should have known) turned around and landed in Winnipeg. Kept everyone on the plane for 10 hrs, with no food and only water from the bathroom (not potable). Then flew everyone back to Toronto instead of their destination. RCMP had to be called in Winnipeg because people were pissed after 10 hrs.

I’d be hesitant to run it at your own house. While you can use a cloudflare tunnel, I’d never expose anything in my home network to the outside.

Digital ocean is cheap, there’s another called hetzner which looks also pretty cheap. So you start will rent 1 core VPS for 5 bucks, it’s enough to run your own instance but not really enough to host any communities.

How are your Linux skills?

You’ll need a domain name to start. If you plan on hosting any communities, you’ll want to secure it as well, I’d recommend a cloudflare account, use their DNS proxy and then only allow traffic from cloudflare cdns so as not to expose your server directly. You’ll also want to configure the Web application firewall to block bots, known malicious IPs, that kind of stuff. To manage this, you’ll have to host your DNS in cloudflare and create and install an origin certificate on your host server.

If you are comfortable with Linux and command line (you’ll want to know at least the basics to get you by), then you can deploy via ansible. Lemmy has a nice little doc that mostly covers everything.

Feel free to ping me if you have some questions.

Oh and if you are having your instance send mail, you can use the service built in, but it’ll get flagged as spam. You’ll need either a SMTP relay service like sendgrid or SPF records so that receiving email servers can verify its coming from your domain.

The quality of their produce and meats are always the worst.

Have been for awhile, now it’s just insane.

Watched a video with this lady showing how much things were in a small town in Alaska… Not far off the prices here in Vancouver.

Airlines are getting so unreliable. Flair airlines kept passengers on the tarmac for 10 hours with no food and water onboard the other day as well.

Corporations has lost focus, while the idea is that you are supposed to bring in money all the time, you also should want customers to be happy with your product so you have repeat customers.

Mostly PC, I have a PS5/PS4, switch, and xbox series as well. The xbox is basically collecting dust as most games that come out there are also on PC. The PS5 gets some use when there’s an exclusive and the switch is somewhere… I just don’t know where… Maybe in the couch?

This is amazing

Especially since Alzheimers runs in my family

So many parts

The failing illusion check when trying to sneak into the castle

“Jarnathan!”

The dude walking a straight line right over the rock.

And the fact that they made a D&D movie that was all around fantastic. Like whatever that uwe boll movie that happened earlier has now been rectified.

I live in Vancouver, when it’s crow nesting season you have to watch out, they will dive bomb you just for walking down the same street as them.
