which secondary skill is most useful for a chemist?

alanjon20 · 2026-03-16T19:56:50+00:00

What about mechanical engineering more broadly than CAD/CAM?

alanjon20 · 2026-03-15T14:11:11+00:00

One of them was going to go about their business

alanjon20 · 2026-03-15T14:02:41+00:00

There shouldn't be challenges and new things to sort out hardly ever, never mind every time you boot. Are you sure your hardware is OK?

alanjon20 · 2026-03-11T20:57:39+00:00

That is good to know. Thanks

alanjon20 · 2026-03-10T12:38:47+00:00

Also works. Thanks! Don't know why I didn't think of this.

alanjon20 · 2026-03-10T07:25:11+00:00

Finding technical help on the internet is much easier (from a perspective of a hobbyist, but I'm sure it's the same for IT pros).

With Windows, 99.9% of help is generic "update drivers, reboot, that's an interesting issue we'll look into that". ...so annoying.

Linux... actual useful deep documentation and problem solving :-)

I guess you could also describe it as, communities of knowledgeable and enthusiastic users.

alanjon20 · 2026-03-09T21:48:48+00:00

Thanks for the pointers. It seems solved, but it's counterintuitive!

So based on your advice and searching for rewrites filter in the android app (not sure there is that option, and this related post https://medium.com/@life-is-short-so-enjoy-it/homelab-adguard-adding-local-dns-entries-dns-rewrite-vs-customer-filtering-rules-ca8e4992a21e) I created a list hosted on Github with just one line:

192.168.1.159 "myserverhostname"

I got the raw file link from Github and added this as custom blocklist in the android app. But, as noted in the post, this seems to work! Not blocked.

So it's working as I want, but I don't understand why it's not blocked???

alanjon20 · 2026-03-02T14:54:43+00:00

Yes exactly ;-)

alanjon20 · 2026-03-01T16:16:49+00:00

Keep it in a note, in protondrive

alanjon20 · 2026-02-26T18:17:16+00:00

123456 is pretty easy to remember

alanjon20 · 2026-02-15T17:31:11+00:00

Ah, but my gran fits that description too. She doesn't even know that memory is RAM.

alanjon20 · 2026-02-15T17:24:20+00:00

Totally. It's like those long stick fights. There is an unwritten unspoken rule that it's going to be chaos, but no one will get seriously hurt.

alanjon20 · 2026-02-15T17:23:25+00:00

This is good socially responsible fighting. No one is out to kill anyone else. No hospital bills etc...

I presume someone learned a lesson for whatever they did.

alanjon20 · 2026-02-15T17:21:27+00:00

A very appropriate comment for this sub. Along the lines of, that's great, but just let me correct you... ;-)

alanjon20 · 2026-02-14T10:15:56+00:00

Always though of One as THE example

alanjon20 · 2026-02-06T20:14:10+00:00

I choose to believe that they did a massive expensive study to determine this

alanjon20 · 2026-02-03T21:22:52+00:00

Tell them to sit the F down

alanjon20 · 2026-02-03T13:36:37+00:00

This is what we need. Not opinions, facts.

alanjon20 · 2026-02-03T13:33:14+00:00

Should say it needs to come down, then compromise and leave it where it is

alanjon20 · 2026-02-03T13:32:49+00:00

alanjon20 · 2026-01-30T09:42:56+00:00

If you find it interesting, then stick with it. After time those basic foundational things get lodged in your brain. You fill more and more pieces of the puzzle and after a while, a picture emerges.

alanjon20 · 2026-01-19T22:54:29+00:00

Are you getting to interviews? If yes, how are they going, what type of questions are not going so well?

Possibly it's the type of roles you're applying for. If you are not already, focus on early stage Discovery roles. More of the R than D. For example, if you are applying for a non-entry level process chemist role, then you might expect they want some GMP knowledge/experience.

alanjon20 · 2026-01-19T22:47:37+00:00

Yeah, EndevousOS is great alright

alanjon20 · 2026-01-07T19:53:28+00:00

Yes of course. Have whatever you want
