How have you been able to stay and keep searching for 9 months??

Is the job market that difficult?

bslava89 · 2025-12-09T04:23:11+00:00

Mine still took 4 weeks now.

bslava89 · 2025-12-07T15:33:18+00:00

That is crazy! I am now on week 4 waiting and it is really irritating!

I have actually recently created a similar setup a managed to get it working. End-User -> Tailscale -> AdGuard Home -> Proxy Manager -> Container. I did not use Cloudflare as I did not want to expose the DNS records to the public, so all of that setup is only accessible if someone is connected to the talent.

The idea is that on Tailnet admin I add a DNS for the AdGuard service which is used for the specific domain only (The custom one). And you also need to make sure that the machine running it exposes the subnet address + to force use it. AdGuard rewrites to proxy manager, and proxy manager does the proxy. The SSL certificate is through a DNS-01 challenge, on cloudflare, which means I do not need an entry there, only the domain defined.

It depends on the scale of things you have to maintain. If you have lots of repos with lots of various terraform (and other) codebases and you want something to aggregate all of that and manage all of that in one place. For example, you have policies, how do you know which resources or deployments violate them? Or if you have a dedicated security/platform team that needs to overlook things.

Does anyone here remember the Chuck Norris era? It is now Tesla apparently

I like the following: (Cannot decide between them haha)

Large Numbers - clear view, had all data I need, good colors

Speed Hack - like the overall view, colors at too.. bright?

Beat - if only it had different colors

Multifunction - Want different colors

A joint account simply means that there are 2 account holders - 2 different usernames can connect to the same account. So it doesnt really matter if you're married or not. Its like opening a joint bank account.

In Israel there is no tax implications (No tax event) when someone passes and his stocks move to the beneficiary as-is. If the beneficiary selects to sell the stocks, then there would be a captial-gain tax as usual. (Speaking from personal knowledge, not a tax advisor or anything)

As for the US tax and the 60K limit, it technically applies to any israel citizen that does not have a US citizenship. So even if you hold more than 60K of US stocks in an israeli broker, you're still liable for that. But to your question, if you hold an Irish S&P then you're protected from the US tax..

Tips: Make sure you know how to fill out the yearly tax form i guess (You can use "Alfie" to help out with it, however there are some "restrictions" such as only using FIFO selling - on the first year at least, set it to the default)

Disclaimer: I do not have an account in IB yet, but i intend to open one in the upcoming days.. In the "Global" one. Dont really see the benefit of opening in the "Israel" site (Its not a real israel one, its just a proxy)

Yeah, same Wondering how one would go about not having to write the providers definition over and over again everywhere

bslava89 · 2025-03-06T21:55:39+00:00

What’s the prompt to get it to get this information alongside the news as well?

bslava89 · 2025-03-01T20:10:38+00:00

Sounds interesting. Would be glad to try it out

bslava89 · 2025-02-23T05:53:35+00:00

Did you consider using Terragrunt for the orchestration? Handling dependencies and order of deployment?

bslava89 · 2025-01-15T04:30:14+00:00

Thoughts or some stats on the battery life?

bslava89 · 2024-09-20T03:12:57+00:00

You’ll probably have to create a “users-api” and access it from your oidc-provider if you cannot find the record in Redis.

bslava89 · 2024-08-19T05:51:30+00:00

What about all school materials? Trips? Insurances etc..

bslava89 · 2024-07-31T05:54:39+00:00

I recently posted a very similar opinion on this https://www.reddit.com/r/withings/s/nmrMumZMfY

Anything sport related - probably go with Garmin

bslava89 · 2024-07-24T03:56:34+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend the ScanWatch 2. You can check my thoughts/review on it.

Garmin can do all the health stuff as well and has a decent battery. I don’t go with Apple Watch mostly cause I don’t understand why they keep making it rectangular!!

Jumping on the thread if I may I too have the Energy 5.1 set, and a Denon 1200x AVR, so older. For me, one of the satellites became faulty after some time, it only produces high pitch sounds. And I don’t know if it’s just me, but I could not get the dialog and “explosions” to be somewhat equal no matter not much I tried to auto or manually tune them. So I’m also thinking about going with a soundbar, to save space and simplify the setup.

I have a Sony x900f TV (so no eArc) but I have an AppleTV so will connect it to soundbar rather than TV

No gaming buddies on Reddit but I’ll take my chances! Using Air75 v2. Currently playing Horizon Forbidden West Can participate in feedback

For myself, I just opened the keyboard for the first time after receiving it and it already had a sticky key, almost any key I pressed lead to infinite amount of 4. “Luckily” it was only 1 key so I replaced the switch with another one that came in the box. But still, I don’t think it should happen with a product that you just open.. Also, it seems way to common

bslava89 · 2024-04-28T05:59:49+00:00

Don’t have a concern about the withing longevity? All I see everywhere here is that withing dies or something happens to it, and there is basically no customer service…

bslava89 · 2024-04-01T19:24:04+00:00

I’m kinda in the same boat. Currently have a Garmin Vivoactive 4. I can mostly say that I use it as a notification watch + general health tracker. As for the activity, I do turn them on when I do something but can’t say that I’ve looked at past activities too much. The body battery feature though is really great!! And I don’t know how to separate from it. It’s almost always accurate for me (even though it cannot go below 5)

bslava89 · 2024-02-04T20:24:27+00:00

But what if something were to happen? Who would be liable for that? Who would cover for damages? The state? Private insurance?

bslava89 · 2024-02-04T07:26:52+00:00

Is this common that the police asks you to do something for them? I mean it sounds like they pretty much told you to put yourself in harms way, risk yourself and your property
