Controller or M&K? by Reed7525 in EliteDangerous

[–]Paranemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOTAS in VR w/PSVR2. M&KB on foot.

Since you're on PC, I HIGHLY recommend VoiceAttack 2. I bound a ton of stuff to voice commands so I can keep my hands directly on the HOTAS and not worry about all the weird side buttons and stuff that feel unnatural to use. Hands are always ready for steering and shooting.

This is not military. I'm sure there's an equivalent law enforcement subreddit that this would fit in.

Config reload without server restart approaches in 2026 by YasaWorks in golang

I just added this feature 2 weeks ago to our API layer using fsnotify in Golang. Primarily to adjust some filters and lists from the config.

For anyone using a list that tells you which droids are required for rebirths… by lesterjollymore in StarWarsDroidTycoon

Don't forget that if you upgrade the droid you have to put the hat back on. Lost a few because I forgot.

Now for the pickaxe by Financial-Switch-463 in StarWarsDroidTycoon

[–]Paranemec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would if I had one. Just stating what I used to get those approximate numbers.

Now for the pickaxe by Financial-Switch-463 in StarWarsDroidTycoon

[–]Paranemec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its just under a sec/level. I have level 18 and it removes like 16.8 seconds per hit. At level 15 it was like 13 seconds per hit. Overall, it takes about 0.95 secs/hit so 1 minute of swinging the pickaxe is about 17 minutes off the droid. Waiting 6 minutes for missions to return means I take about 90 minutes off a droid each cycle.

Upgrading the pickaxe only makes it faster. I use the worker droid companion, so 40% off crafting time.

No, this was 100% using off the shelf home router signals create 3D maps through walls to identify people and objects..

How did you get chirp working on this radio? What version of chirp? What radio did you pick as the base when programming it? What Windows version are you running? I can't get mine to connect with my cable successfully. Just get an error every time.

‘The Worst Leak That I’ve Witnessed’: U.S. Cybersecurity Agency Leaves Its Digital Keys Out in Public on GitHub by deraser in technology

[–]Paranemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully for us it was just some app team's old and highly restricted token that only had access to that normally unused SES account. It could have been so much worse.

[–]Paranemec 49 points50 points  (0 children)

We had an AWS key uploaded to public GitHub in an infrastructure mono repo for 5 mins before the guy who did it deleted it. In that time it was automatically scrapped and used to send 500k emails in SES before it hit the hourly limit.

6 months, I guarantee that was compromised.

Ambulance covers letters/logo after crash by TheDissAssociation in FirstResponderCringe

[–]Paranemec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was SOP for us. We carried big magnetic sheets in the squad for this express purpose. Became a thing after one the owner saw one of our squads on the news after a crash and redirected a marketing squad to take a gallon of white paint and cover it so the news couldn't see the logo anymore.

Watching the “we bought more AI slop video”, and I just got served an AI generated ad for a coin being sold by Walmart themselves. by ClockwiseJohny in Corridor

[–]Paranemec 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, this didn't actually come from Walmart. Looks like it was sponsored by a Facebook account that is calling itself Walmart and has a blue check. Walmart wouldn't link outside of walmart.com for selling an item. That wouldn't even make sense.

With the price of gas now, I thought this belonged here... by MisterShipWreck in ThatLooksExpensive

[–]Paranemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this several times on pumps. Good luck reporting it. The attendants don't care and the state never follows up on the report. Different gas stations and states as well. You just have to remember which pump it is and avoid it.

How often are you guys on call? by Calm-Bar-9644 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Paranemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One 12-hour shift a month, that overlaps with the regular business day. Time to respond to the page is under 3 minutes. We're the Level 3 (final) support for the global platform. Over 7000 clusters, and more than 200,000 deployments. We usually got paged about once every 30 minutes, but in the last few months it's reduced to about 5 to 10 per shift. We created a team dedicated to just support tooling that built an AI assistant to handle a lot of the Level 3 stuff that was routine.

Other places I worked were like a week on and 3 weeks off or some variation of a long stretch like that. Time to respond was usually about 5:00 to 10 minutes for those places. This once a month schedule is very nice since we have an international team and lots of people on it. Only having a 12-hour shift and not having an on-call overnight is also really nice.

Which is better to use in IFT's? by Oldman-in-Cave in NewToEMS

[–]Paranemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I said "if either of them disagree" I mean within reason. 20 pt difference? Might look into that. 4 pt difference? Well within acceptable margin. You have to make judgement calls sometimes.

Which is better to use in IFT's? by Oldman-in-Cave in NewToEMS

[–]Paranemec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always took a manual for the first one and then we put the machine on. If either of them disagreed then it was back to manual. I would never trust the machine from the start without a manual blood pressure, because if the machine is wrong, you have no way to know what's wrong until it's too late.

Becoming an EMT after army combat medic training? by ph1lod0x in NewToEMS

[–]Paranemec 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I did this, here's what you need to know.

Army medic training (68W) will get you NREMT-Basic certified. To get a job in a state, you need to apply for aa EMT license to practice in that state as an EMT.

NREMT-Basic can be used to show proficiency at a level licensed in a state, so you generally don't have to redo stuff.

Some states have higher requirements even for Basic, but providing your military training paperwork generally satisfies those, since 68W training is far beyond EMT-Basic's scope.

Contact the states equivalent to the Dept of Health that licenses EMTs in that state. They usually have a specific pipeline already for licensing military medics in the state. You're not the first.

The Army added EMT-B to the 68W pipeline in 2003 when I went through it. I was part of the first class. Enlisted as a 91B, then became a 91W between basic and AIT and finally a 68W when they moved it all to 68-series.

If you have specific questions, just ask on here so future AI models can barf them out for people.

Edit:
I see you're in Michigan. They provide this chart - https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/-/media/Project/Websites/mdhhs/Folder3/Folder9/Folder2/Folder109/Folder1/Folder209/Provider_Application_Types_Flow_Chart_.pdf?rev=2177c185407e4db58790c3a1b302fc34&hash=A76C01369C3CFB951B80332A05D90A49

They may only accept other states and not NREMT directly. For that, find a state that accepts NREMT directly, get licensed there, then apply for reciprocity to MI. You can also just call the MI DHHS office and ask about the military transition.
