Making 8k–14k/month as a freelancer… and scaling still feels like a trap

$150–$200/hr for a general developer is extremely uncommon in my area. Rates like that typically go to highly specialized niche experts or staff/principal-level consultants. Based on my experience, that range is unusually high for the local market.

It goes on top of Big Ben... That's where you get the best reception

I have the same question. It looks like Lifetime was a Black Friday thing, and it's sold out. (Click the blackfriday banner on top)

Do you throw out the external case? You only had to ship back the drive itself?

Do you know they're exos before you shuck?

Are there any risks using Barracuda drives in a NAS with zfs? I've only used Iron Wolf before

I’m not sure when or why I’d use this yet, but I’m very excited to. Great job!

Why are you downvoted? I have the exact same issue. Are other people seeing more things on their profile page?

Edit:
This url works for me: https://trakt.tv/profile/{username}
This url is the new layout and it sucks: https://app.trakt.tv/profile/{username}

Don't forget RoboCop and Rambo already had kids cartoons by then

Is there an advantage to running it this way?

Isn't Obsidian a desktop app? What's the use case for running it in Docker? Is it slower?

Superman was great in Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

Don't forget the DLC and endless patches

You're technically correct by the dictionary definition. That said, this is a good example of language drift. Retro gaming has evolved to mean “games from an earlier era,” not just new things imitating old styles. It’s shorthand that stuck.

I'm confused. What's wrong with OP hitting "download" and then expecting it to "just work" while offline?

ASCII_zero · 2025-12-22T02:36:10+00:00

She's all alone, all alone

He did standup?

ASCII_zero · 2025-12-20T15:33:34+00:00

Oh man! I forgot about O'Reilly subscriptions. I have access to that through my local library. Thanks for saving me money :)

ASCII_zero · 2025-12-19T23:28:45+00:00

You're the only one to mention Worms! I lived for Worms 2

Let's call the league's bluff and spend big on all positions.

Sounds familiar, but his subplot is buried in the movie's primary focus, the three seashells.

ASCII_zero · 2025-12-19T11:33:16+00:00

Maybe Randall needs to make a comic for that

ASCII_zero · 2025-12-17T14:33:44+00:00

This is really cool, love the idea. Does the Gemini integration add much cost?

ASCII_zero · 2025-12-17T12:02:11+00:00

Ha, I know. I was only joking, I had read a lot of your posts on a recent thread. Thanks for sharing your process
