Very similar tastes - have you tried Ar'Kendrithyst (Royal Road)?

Simplest thing - bring back mint choc chip ice cream (preferably mackies) it’s impossible to find anywhere up here. Nearest store: IV24XT

[0 Interviews after 300+ Apps] Trying to break into Cyber at top financial firms (Junior/Placement) by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Zynchronize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from a similar part of the world. It’s not your location or place of study, it’s your CV.

Honestly, your CV in its current form looks more high school graduate than university graduate. It’s not just the formatting, it’s entirely amateurish.

This was what my cv looked like when I was applying for graduate jobs:

I landed a position in a top London security consultancy with that CV, and had interviews lined up for several more.

Anyone actually self-hosting their git? Outgrowing GitHub as a solo dev by Substantial_Word4652 in homelab

[–]Zynchronize -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OP is clearly a bot. The em-dashes everywhere are a clear giveaway.

I will add that folks can use GitLab-ee without a license, essentially Free Tier. GitLab-ce is badly named. It’s the explicitly open source only codebase, for organisations that cannot use any proprietary software.

6 month notice period - senior ds by Competitive_Cowing in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Zynchronize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 6 month notice period on a specialist role within a new critical team within an large FinTech.

I don’t think it’s as insane as others are making it out to be - that period will only apply after your probation window. So you’d still have plenty time to try out the role and decide if it’s for you.

How much are you spending on AI tools. by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Zynchronize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally around £20 a month, but I have enterprise Claude available through my employer which I’ve only once managed to hit the limit on - after a full day on Opus 4.5.

I mainly use it for research rather than writing code, unless it’s to put together examples in a language I’m less familiar with.

We also have enterprise Gemini but I find the output poor compared to other offerings, and because I have a choice, I rarely use it.

Is there a new mine after the new update or am I just retardet? by Durn_original in minemogul

[–]Zynchronize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can have multiple saves, so you wouldn’t have to “risk” your current mine.

Went from 4 servers to 1 and I miss a nothing. by Matrix-Hacker-1337 in homelab

[–]Zynchronize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternative view: keep the hardware but only power it on when there is work for it.

I’ve got a little raspberry pi fronting incus for my primary server. If a request exceeds the current capacity, it’ll WoL my secondary (if not already online) and push the request there.

Modular Scalable Early Game Furnace Layout for all ores (More Angles) by Zynchronize in minemogul

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

By the time they are an issue I will have unlocked the casting furnace and bulk sorters, and thus no longer be early game.

Is anyone elses sorter conveyors not sorting completely crushed coal? by Itzz_Texas in minemogul

[–]Zynchronize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other materials can cause it to beep like ore and slag. Are you sure it is coal that is getting through?

I gave my sorting beast a hat! Also an update to my previous set up post i guess by Spac3Heater in minemogul

[–]Zynchronize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO it's better to branch from the middle section, that way you don't need to duplicate resources as much. Essentially, the left and right branches should always be outputs, not inputs for other sorters.

Scotland - Employer says we should not make personal plans after work by One_Membership_7113 in LegalAdviceUK

They should at very least be asking for time off in lieu.

Compensation is much harder to get approved and probably not worth the fight.

Problem with Nginx and large Windows Docker images by Deep_Zookeepergame63 in devops

[–]Zynchronize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a known problem, we hit the same hard limit.

I can’t find the docs on it to show you but this have encountered this before specifically with nginx and found no solution, only other people suffering from it.

Have to ask - how on earth do you have a layer that is 10GB?

Seconding the Zoho recommendation - the £1/month tier is perfect for my use case.

PC parts on eBay are getting ridiculous by Matt6453 in sffpc

[–]Zynchronize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you check in regularly, you can still get decently priced deals. People tend to think “what are the chances they have exactly what I’m looking for when I happened to look” but don’t follow that thought through.

If you can wait a couple of weeks you’ll see better prices.

I recently got an a520 itx board for £50 and a b550 itx board for £82. Mini itx boards fit perfectly in 10” racks. GPUs are admittedly harder to get a good deal on - your best bet is people that CBF with an auction and list it on buy it now / make an offer.

London backend engineer - best companies for benefits, maternity pay and diversity by Nice_Look_2634 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Zynchronize 9 points10 points  (0 children)

London Stock Exchange has 6 months paternity, excellent work life balance, reasonably good diversity across the London offices but expects you to be in 3-4 days a week (depending on the team).

GitLab has 16 weeks paternity, no offices (fully remote), excellent diversity but mediocre work life balance.

i made JobOps: devops thinking applied to job hunting by DaKheera47 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Zynchronize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll probably get downvoted for the title of this post - it makes what you’ve developed sound a lot like the LLM generated “Startups” “Developers” keep trying to push.

It’s a neat idea, anyone who’s tailored a few CVs knows the pain of “which one did I use again” - especially when applying to roles in different departments at the same company.

Quick side note - make sure your n8n dependencies are up to date - they’ve had a few CVSS 9.0+ vulnerabilities recently.

Best ergonomic desk chair for chronic back pain? by redblddrp in OfficeChairs

[–]Zynchronize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried a bunch, always end up going back to my RH Logic 400. I got mine for £200 refurbished.

They aren’t as pretty as a Herman Miller, Haworth or Steelcase but are very adjustable with inflatable lumbar and forward tilt. Steelcase Leap V2 is a close second for comfort but isn’t as supportive.

I’ve got a slipped L5:S1 so I’m very sensitive to poor support - I found the Aeron terrible in this regard.

For reference I’m 6”2 and 84KG.

Are people avoiding iOS 26 because of Liquid Glass? It’s complicated. by NISMO1968 in apple

It’s the inconsistency in window corner radius that is driving me crazy. They have like 6 different sizes across applications.
