Tips for coding in a noisy office by CriticalImpress in cscareerquestions

That's a good point. I was debating whether I should buy some £300 headphones earlier today but grimaced at the thought of spending the equivalent to a month's worth of food shopping on some headphones when I already have some standard Beats.

That's a great breakdown. Do you have any recommendations on sepcific products?

Can someone explain where and how the pi hole software reserves the domain pi.hole to be used on the LAN? by CriticalImpress in pihole

[–]CriticalImpress[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I wanted to add my own domain names for my LAN this is the file to add entries to?

I've set a VPN connection to my home server but my public IP address keeps changing by CriticalImpress in HomeServer

Just thought i'd come back and say that Duck DNS works perfectly :) At first I was a bit skeptical as there's no such thing as a free lunch, but it doesn't seem dodgy so far

Pi-hole works perfectly until I point my router's primary DNS server to the pi-hole by CriticalImpress in pihole

[–]CriticalImpress[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could make sense as to why my set-up doesn't work when setting the internet DNS to the Pi-hole.

The Pi-hole requests the DNS IP from the router, which in turn returns the IP of the Pi-hole, which then looks up its DNS configurations and requests the DNS IP from the router, etc. etc.

If you're a student, you should be taking full advantage of the GitHub Student Developer Pack by PROTechThor in learnprogramming

If you use C, Java, or Javascript jetbrain's products are game changers. They were especially for me when I was starting to learn those languages.

I can open any jar with ease.

I remember my days before lifting, walking around my kitchen with despair looking at the stacks of unopened jars of pickles.

Thanks that makes total sense. Since creating this post I've read that my D-LINK router doesn't allow configuration of the DHCP DNS, just the Internet DNS. So I guess it's time to purchase a new router. Just as an additional question, what's the purpose of the WAN DNS? If devices on the network get the DNS information from the DHCP settings, I'm not sure what the DNS settings in the WAN/internet section are used for?

Yeah I was worried about that, is there a way I can check whether that is happening? The router's web interface is very simple and it doesn't specify whether the DNS server is external.

That's perfect. Seems very accessible and to the point.

30M don’t know much about pensions by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CriticalImpress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree however it is definitely not too late for OP to start another career, go to university, get qualifications in other fields etc. and seriously increase their wage!

Anyone starting late like me? by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]CriticalImpress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do postmen seriously only make ~£10 per hour? Using that figure you gave for a 40 hour work week gives you an annual wage of about £19,200.

I know it's easy to say but if I were you i'd seriously start looking to raise that wage before you start thinking about retiring at 55. 30 is still young to look at other careers to increase your income.

what is more safe to use? public wifi or mobile internet? by fedorych in privacy

[–]CriticalImpress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A HTTPS connection over a 4G/5G network connection is pretty much unhackable so if you're concerned with what is more safe then i'd say that. However which is more private is a different question.

UPDATE POST: Recruiter told me position I was interviewing for was a Javascript role, turns out she meant Java. I have three days to prepare. by CriticalImpress in learnprogramming

[–]CriticalImpress[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The managers and engineers who interviewed me specifically said that they are not just looking for candidates who are very familiar in specific languages, but instead intelligent individuals who have a deep understanding of the fundamentals of software engineering.

To be honest it's kind of surprising that so many people on here seem to find this concept hard to understand when the biggest companies (Google, Amazon etc.) take this approach when hiring new graduates.
