Why make any movie? Days of Thunder? So what? He races a car. We get it. Just play the opening credits and the end credits back to back. My Left Foot? Some people have one leg. Big deal. Why do we have to see him struggling? It’s like someone taking a dump. Just show the ball going into the net. Actually, I have PTSD about getting hit with a ball. Just do the credits end to end again.

Why do we need to see things any single person could be slightly offended by? Star Wars? Come on. We all know how battles go, and, dude; like, why do we have to see oppression and poverty or extreme fascism? Those nine movies could just be a greeting card with “may the force be with you” inside.

Just because you don’t appreciate creative works doesn’t make them unworthy of expression. Nobody is forcing anyone to watch anything.

Good catch. I’m out of the job search market for going on five years and a lot has changed since then. It makes sense that the market is flooded and AI is probably being developed to “do it for us”.

I do still get feelers from recruiters though, and the jobs they share require a BS in CS or equivalent experience (usually 4+ yrs on the job). Would I get my CS degree again knowing what I know now? I think so. I learned a lot and met a lot of folks through internships. But none of my jobs have cared about my degree. They like my social skills, perfectionism and restlessness.

I’m just one person on an anonymous social platform. Take my opinions with a grain of salt. Developers definitely still have work, but you are right the the current outlook seems* bleak.

Coding for network security companies is a possibility.

*I haven’t asked anyone in the know.

For the first time in over thirty years, the community college near me has had many members of the community advisory board (reps from various local businesses) that rep’d tech firms not even come to the advisory board meetings.

I take that to mean they’re riding the AI bubble, hoping to phase out much of their human workforce. That said, someone has to maintain the local infrastructure, and while data centers don’t employ many workers, they need some staff to watch over the systems. I also think networking still is a strong field, and obviously cyber security.

I have worked with several folks that were much better at their job because of self-hosting, so your experience there maybe isn’t as worthless as you think.

My advice would be to talk to recruiters and department heads and ask what they see themselves needing.

Its always DNS.

But seriously, I’m not familiar with qui, but there could be a whitelist approach to access by default. Maybe it’s blocking access until you whitelist or configure it to accept all.

Its not likely your local firewall is an issue since you can access other services, but the fact that you don’t know means you should find out. I think Debian uses ufw by default, but I think Debian ships with it disabled.

I can think of a few professions and life-choices that would benefit from that requirement.

Not the double bounce?!

After reading your post body, I realize this isn’t what you’re looking for, but at least for honorable mention reasons:

Full disclosure: am a guy.

Holding your breath allows you to tense up and clench more than you can while breathing. Taking a deep breath eliminates some “tensing” muscles from the equation. Still, with some effort (or anxiety, probably) you can still clench up while breathing.

No idea, but it could be the account I used (my friend in Belize) is compromised. The charges are coming from PSN. I’ve checked, And it’s not him

Unless something changed recently, Google Play has always accepted my privacy cards. I have one saved now a my family payment method on my Nvidia Shield account.

Don’t use Apple products, so can’t speak to that.

You can’t avoid all of the surveillance, but this helps a lot.

Been using privacy.com for years. You can enter any ZIP code, any name and the seller won’t know anything about you unless you’re shipping to your home, I guess. Some markets will see the cards as gift cards and won’t accept them, but that is rare.

I use it wherever I can, especially for services that always used to end up with a stolen CC#. The cards can be single use or locked to a single merchant. I used a single use card on PSN three years ago and still get fraudulent charge attempts to this day, but the card stopped working after one use, as designed.

All good. I’m not shitting on anyone’s choice, especially when it comes to playing Zelda which you can’t do anywhere else (except PC emulation). But I’ll always pipe up with a reminder when I see detailed breakdowns of how to get raped the coolest new console by Nintendo.

I do think its worth putting out there that my CPU/GPU manufacturer never sued anybody for how they used the product they paid for. They also can’t take my games away, or brick my hardware. But, yeah, the Switch is cool, if it was $250 and not owned by the most litigious game-related company out there.

Right. Nintendo is the best ecosystem. I’ve been PC since my 486. Never regretted it or wished I had a console. But if you’re cool with Nintendo shenanigans, enjoy. I hope they don’t brick your console for you.

Buying anything from that horrible company that sues their own customers and fans is a big NO from me.

The “and noodles” belong to the potato.

Usually seven days, but the vet may want you to use up all of the medication rather than going by the calendar.

+1 for simple. Something you don’t need to host.
