The first page of my resume covers my technical skills, a summary of myself, and my most recent jobs.

When you go past that, it gets to older jobs that are still relevant, then into school, then to side projects, volunteer, etc. basically, if you liked the first page, the rest of it gives them more about who I am.

I think at this point it's either 3 or 4 pages and every time I've gotten a job it's been one where they asked me about the hobbies on the bottom of the last page, which meant they liked what they saw and liked my interview well enough.

When I update it for my next search, I'll take my first internship off because it's no longer relevant, but most everything else is.

+1 to JetBrains.

I started using them like 8 years ago and have never looked back. My dad introduced them to me when I was doing some homework on a family trip and my laptop was dead. After that, I used them for every class in college, then used them at a job where they didn't provide an IDE but I had the subscription.

Even when I'm not developing at home consistently, it's just so much better to have it than not.

The PWA app works decent, but, unless I did something wrong, it would open links in itself instead of my main Firefox window which wasn't what I'd want normally.

I still use it, but it's definitely not as nice as I'd want it to be.

Definitely one of those things that's minor and I can look past though.

Hey, some of us are trying to do a huge server migration before we switch so that we can make sure all of our stuff is backed up properly.

I can't wait to go back, especially since proton is so much better.

Hopefully my Nvidia card doesn't suck too bad.

Sure, and there's also an extension to install a web page as an app similar to Chrome. The point is that, out of the box, it lacks some features that I enjoy. Extensions are great and I use plenty of them, but that doesn't mean that Firefox has those features, it just has extensions that have them.

Firefox is great, don't get me wrong, I'm definitely preferring it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have all the features that I wanted up front.

I wasn't a fan of Firefox either and personally lived using edge. When the whole web integrity thing started happening, I felt like I should switch to Firefox and haven't looked back.

I still have some complaints, like you can't install sites native app which I used a lot. I don't think tab groups have been implemented yet, which isn't a huge deal but very useful. And there were a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. In the end I value my privacy a bit more so I've decided Firefox is worth it.

Plus mobile ad blocking is a god send.

The reason I disagree with this is that if we truly decide to "lock someone away for life", it will ultimately cost us, the taxpayers, tons of money as someone is kept fed, educated, healthy, etc. I'm not against any of those things for the average Americans, but if someone is just going to spend the rest of their life in prison, they're going to spend the rest of their life costing money.

That said, does it make the death penalty the answer? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a legal expert, I'm not an expert in anything. What I do know is that there are crimes that most people would probably say they're okay with the death penalty, and crimes that people say they're definitely not okay with it. I generally lean more towards the death penalty in some cases, but I also know that they fight and appeal for years and cost even more money. I also know that many innocent people have been put on death row, and that's not okay. I think Texas uses it a bit liberally and that's not okay.

Again, I'm not an expert, but "locking him up for life" is just gonna cost more than he may be worth.

It's just not super black and white, in my opinion. But I'd love to be corrected and hear opposing views.

In Pathfinder 1e, it mentions that high charisma can mean an attractive person. We know this can be true because my bard had a 36 cha (PF1e is broken lmao) and we all know it wasn't his personality.

Interesting. I might have to get Jellyfin set up and run them simultaneously for a bit. Like I said my favorite Plex thing is Plexamp because it's so clean and simple and I'd rather use a dedicated app for music instead of the main app.

I do like that it's FOSS though, so that's pretty great.

Is jellyfin that much better? I've seen people throw it around a lot and I've yet to try it. The big thing I like about Plex is Plexamp as a music app and it seems like Jellyfin lacks that for the time being.

 

Hello!

I'm (kinda) new at self-hosting stuff and have been running off an old gaming PC with 8gb RAM and an i5-3570k and a couple 8tb drives in a raid 1 configuration.

A few weeks (months maybe) ago, I bought a Dell PowerEdge R720XD for a decent price and the only thing it didn't come with is drives. I've got another 8tb drive and will be grabbing one more to do Proxmox with ZFS and do a raidz1 configuration for 24tb of usable space.

The big question I have here is what type/size of SSD should I go with? I currently just have an old 120gb SSD that's running Ubuntu with things like Plex, Kavita, Foundry, and whatever else I'm using on it. A buddy was telling me to use "data center SSDs" due to the amount of work hypervisor tools will do. I've also read other posts from Reddit and similar that mention that consumer-grade SSDs should be just fine but then others point out that if they only have 80-100TBW which means they'll fail quicker, but if they're cheaper than data center or enterprise SSDs then it would still be cheaper.

My plan for Proxmox is basically this:

  • ZFS Pool with a raidz1 vdev (made of hard drives) with the goal to expand it eventually
  • Plex instance (I'll probably point my cache to the vdev via symlinks because one time I had a 50gb cache when setting up Plex so I don't want to do that again)
  • Kavita instance
  • Linux instance just for dev work and funsies
  • Foundry (D&D tool) instance
  • I also run some random website stuff but that'll probably be on the Linux instance. None of it is very big
  • HomeAssistant

So with that, are there any things I should consider? Is a pair of $30, 480gb Kingston drives more than plenty? Should I go for some mid-range Microns? Do I find something way more expensive and just eat the cost up front instead of over time? I'm just trying to figure out how I should price it out because I want to get this server up and running so I can steal my old desktop back for other dumb reasons.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Side note, if you have a good way to migrate data where I have to get 4.5tb off my 8tb raid1 group, set up ZFS with those same drives, then put the data back on it, let me know. The current plans are to either piecemeal out the data to all the machines on my network, or just get a 6tb external drive.

 

~~I purchased Starfield through Humble Bundle and made sure to get the deluxe edition with the early access key. It took them a bit to actually deliver the key to me (and I was only able to put it in yesterday) and I tried preloading and it didn't seem that I had that option on Steam? I'm not sure if I did something wrong or what, but I'll be a little annoyed if I have to wait until the day of to play, and even more upset if I can't play until after the preorder access is over.~~

Update: I am dumb and only Xbox could preload on the 17th, PC is the 30th. My mistake.
