Being excited about buying a nice cooler to go camping with

Well not anything too crazy, just it can defin be a situation where people like him more and it feeds into his “ Trump vs everyone else” rhetoric.

At the end of the day, this will be a very interesting part of the historical timeline. So I would not be surprised if this year or one the subsequent ones turns out to be as turbulent as 1968.

Yeah I’m not looking forward to the ripple effect of this shooting

I had not thought of the w2 vs 1099 thing but I will bring that up to them.

Hands down the experience in that environment is what’s attracting me the most of everything other than the pay raise.

Yeah the recruiter mis communicated it. But the company itself brought it up first thing in the interview before. I actually interviewed last month but was scared of the contract . Now they reached out to me again and I figured I’d at least take th interview as practice.

After thinking and looking at my finances I could prolly be safe if the contract ends quickly.

Basically, I currently work in a digital cinema company as a helpdesk for them and the job pays ok but is pretty stable as my colleagues have all been there for years. I have an interview soon for a FAANG company to be on their IT Helpdesk. It’s a job that will give me a lot of good experience, but it is a 6 month contract with potential to renew and continue. The recruiter basically snuck the contract portion in after scheduling my interview.

Both jobs include benefits thankfully the only thing that is stopping me from the FAANG job is just that it’s contracted but the experience would be great.

Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

TLDR: Would you leave your fully employed job for a contracting opportunity.

She could configure linux from scratch

It seems like they gave a bunch of people a notice to find new jobs as a form of promotion

Enjoy it! I’m on mine next week!

I currently work as Helpdesk analyst for a company that produces projectors. I am on the NOC that field technicians call into for any assistance. I would describe my job as having some elements of network, software, and hardware troubleshooting. Ultimately with my end goal I want to get into cybersecurity and be on a SOC somewhere. To achieve that I am working on my Net+ and building a home lab with some hardware I have to practice building a virtual network. Eventually I want to develop my coding skill and get my Sec+ and other certs. What are the opinions of those who are in both industries and any advice?

I bought a orangepi 3 LTS and put it in a case and got a little fan to work via GPIO and got my image in a SD for the first boot. I turn it on and it has android OS v9 on it. I want to run Debian on it for some personal projects as I want to get familiar with Linux environments.

Should I be concerned it has an Os on it when I thought it was new? I have put it on my home network or connected it to anything at all.

How would I go about removing android and booting from SSD to use Debian?

Edit: I looked up the wiki and found it comes with android to test the hardware. All good

So am I understanding correctly that this code wasn’t exactly handled as a normal team? Like XZ had one person vetting the replacement?

So I first saw this picture and thought Baxter had the same face as my chihuahua. Then I read his story and I cried and found it to be similar. My dog was a bit neglected by previous owners and he is a senior chihuahua. After this experience I can now say. Chihuahuas are ground bats.

I found this article from the one you posted. It is crazy think DNA can be used for storage one day.

Is RAID still needed? (programming.dev)

Me and my friend were discussing this the other day about how he said RAID is no longer needed. He said it was due to how big SSDs have gotten and that apparently you can replace sectors within them if a problem occurs which is why having an array is not needed.

I replied with the fact that arrays allow for redundancy that create a faster uptime if there are issues and drive needs to be replaced. And depending on what you are doing, that is more valuable than just doing the new thing. Especially because RAID allows redundancy that can replicate lost data if needed depending on the configuration.

What do you all think?

As someone who used to be high all the time. I know what worked for me a lot was trying to focus on the best I can do in a given day.

I got into exercise and tried enjoying everyday as if I could be happy with dying that day. I really do try my best to not think about all the crazy things going on just because I realized I can’t help as much. But I do my best to help with things locally. One simple that helped me financially as well as climate related was switching to eating less red meat. Even though some may say it’s not enough as I didn’t go vegan, it still helps reduce some of my carbon output. With the idea of helping where you can and not stressing about what you can’t do, life becomes a lot easier and less stressful while actually making impact.

Do you have anything particular you want to do outside of just being high to feel better? Once I realized how much I like computers and tech, smoking less became easier
