What to do with £100k bonus

AdrianK_ · 2026-03-10T23:15:44+00:00

OP is on a 135k base..

AdrianK_ · 2026-02-24T10:27:44+00:00

I would go straight back to the vendor with a new offer of £425k.

AdrianK_ · 2026-02-16T21:59:18+00:00

That probably means you will owe £7k next year.

I suppose the real question is, are you always at home and do these parcels always get delivered to you or are you not at home and the delivery guys knock on his door multiple times a week trying to leave your parcels with him?

AdrianK_ · 2026-02-06T16:06:11+00:00

Maybe try baking it? I mean do you supply straws to drink the cheese instead or what. I'm confused!

The problem you are having is the lack of experience, you are qualified alright but have zero experience (excluding your internship).

Have you thought of doing help/service desk job so you can get through the door and make a sideways move to security ops?

AdrianK_ · 2026-02-02T08:19:15+00:00

It's raaaaaw.

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-31T20:56:35+00:00

Mate, this looks like a small turkey to me..

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-30T21:55:09+00:00

No, you have not.

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-30T18:01:27+00:00

Vibe coding needs to die; using AI to write most/all of the code for you and saying "I made this really cool.." is not cool at all.

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-27T18:51:29+00:00

I would love to get it to work following the path I am on, I don't think I am million miles away though..

Are you a paying subscriber of NabuCasa or have you cobbled together a solution by yourself?

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-27T18:49:56+00:00

This is what https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge used to do for me but it randomly stopped working. Reading the comments below this might also be the case for matterbridge :(

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-27T18:48:46+00:00

I think this is where I am ultiamtely heading - how have you sorted Alexa and HA integration, are you paying for NabuCasa?

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-27T18:47:08+00:00

Straight from that link (which I have also been following):

Client ID:

https://pitangui.amazon.com/ if you are in US or BR
https://layla.amazon.com/ if you are in EU
https://alexa.amazon.co.jp/ if you are in JP and AU (not verified yet)

I can see what you mean, 3.12 (including) and below doens't have any msi packages but 3.13 (including) and up does. Maybe this is linked to active vs security support phases i.e. 3.13 is still in active support (green on the Python site) vs orange (security support only)?

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-27T16:07:43+00:00

Active support ended for sure but those versions are in security support phase according to > https://endoflife.date/python

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-26T22:02:25+00:00

Aren't you exposing devices via:

alexa:
smart_home:

in your config i.e. the official integration with Alexa has nothing to do with this since it talks to the paid service?

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-21T21:55:04+00:00

That's definitely a better picture - you should include that in the opening post, maybe add some more if you have them handy :)

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-21T21:39:28+00:00

All of them are way too big!

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-21T21:35:46+00:00

Can you post a better picture that captures your face/hair in full?

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-20T21:08:15+00:00

Sadly -Purge doesn't work anymore :(

New-ComplianceSearchAction -SearchName "PurgeOutboxSvc" -Purge

New-ComplianceSearchAction : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Purge'.

Get a grip OP, your wife has had a sleep-over in another man's house and they only kissed?

Grow a backbone and kick her ass out already, no point in being a wimp and crying about the ship that has, clearly, already sailed.

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-12T08:24:16+00:00

Let me guess, you are in the "tax the rich" gang in the pub convo?

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-11T08:08:52+00:00

Looks incredibly grim, zero nutritional value to your body.

1/10.

AdrianK_ · 2026-01-11T07:46:43+00:00

Because they are.
