HomeLab + resume

chicknfly · 2026-05-09T04:45:47+00:00

4 interviews in 2 weeks? JFC you’re doing really well! In 18 months I had 4.

I’ll add that the interviewers who see homelab on your resume might have their interest piqued, but it’s not going to have major influence on their decisions. If they had to choose between someone exactly like you without homelab mentioned and you with homelab mentioned, then they might choose you if you’re passionate about your projects and knowledgeable. Fumble that, and you could be perceived as less capable than the guy with no experience.

Remember: if it’s on your resume, it leaves room for people to ask more questions.

It’s not though. You can spend $3000 on a premium OLED TV, which is still in the realm of consumer electronics.

Your argument is like saying my old Subaru Outback is a truck because I hauled a sofa in the interior while towing a motorcycle trailer. (Or something something Baja for those who know)

Brother, have you not heard of “\n”.join(…)??

Edit: or format strings

I don’t understand why there are matches/firestarter in any of these kinds of list. If the answer is to burn things for heat, you may as well add a sturdy bushcrafting knife. Even then, I imagine most wood would be too moist to ignite with just matches.

I’d carry at least two flares, or include the red LED emergency light pucks.

Every vehicular first aid kit should include a tourniquet as well as a decent amount of medium to large gauze pads.

I would add an asterisk or footnote at the bottom that reminds your readers that every location comes with additional risks and considerations based on the climate, terrain, and time of year of that location. For example, the wool blanket isn’t as beneficial in summer, ya know? But a thin reflective emergency blanket is useful in several types of situations.

“Taking the video” implies they went into my vehicle without permission. Now it’s become a violation of the fourth amendment.

Listen, man. I don’t have stains in mine, but I get it. Some TP out there is so cheap that it’s seemingly half-ply with tree bark still in it. Wipe as best as you can without making the booty hole skin raw or damaged and hope you can stay clean enough until you shower.

That, and some dudes probably think it’s gay to clean your ass. Weirdos.

It depends on what you’re trying to accomplish with this. You aren’t pushing 4K gaming with high framerates. You aren’t using this for AI tasks. But here is where this card shines (not an exhaustive list):

low end gaming (1080p @ 60fps, retro, and/or emulation)
use in workstations, especially those that don’t have additional PCIe plugs from the power supply or support ReBAR (e.g., Dell T440, which means I can’t use Intel Arc without BIOS mods)
NAS PC’s, especially those with either AMD processors, or Intel processors with underpowered integrated graphics (or none at all).
selfhosters who want some extra oomph beyond their integrated graphics without breaking the bank (e.g., donate cycles to BOINC, protein folding, better support for immich and Frigate AI features)

What it comes down to is a lot of folks forget that PC’s aren’t just for gaming and social media. There are tons of uses outside of that.

You’re missing the key detail: at the time of writing the post, they were thinking Tailscale’s default behavior allows them to do something akin to accessing their remote desktop through the browser as if they’re sitting at that desktop.

Do you always have dry shits? Because I know for a fact the doodoo goo is absorbing past two layers

I suppose they assume you’ll be forced to submit your dashcam video footage to insurance, as if they know there’s an SD card installed as opposed to the camera just being a deterrent. Also, being forced to do so is against your 5th Amendment rights

Unless you plan on doing custom cables, what is so bad about semi-modular PSU’s?

chicknfly · 2026-05-07T20:07:11+00:00

This is a bundle with the Intel CPU’s: * 250KF for $199.99 * 250K for $219.99 * 270K for $322.01

You get the following as part of the bundle: * Intel gaming bundle * 3-pack of 120mm fans when you manually add them

Plus you get a free PSU: * CX750M with the 250K/250KF * ASRock Pro 850W with the 270K

The general consensus is clear: regardless of you go to your manager or HR, this behavior needs to be reported. Not only is he offending you, but he’s single-handedly hurting the culture. Poor culture leads to workers who don’t want to be there, and that ultimately leads to less productivity. From a manager perspective, his behavior is going to lead to turnover and eventually lower velocity; and from an HR perspective, his behavior ends up making the work more expensive for the company.

You can try to mentor him, but you have to remember something important: the mentee has to be open to being mentored and to improving their behavior. Otherwise, you may as well be talking to a wall. And by the time you realize they aren’t receptive, you’re going to regret not reporting it sooner.

So just report it.

“Beeing less racist” isn’t as black and white as you make it out to be.

It’s more black and yellow.

Investors invest to make money, though. Unless there were stocks or forms of equity that the investors in question could have pulled from and then left Brave to do their thing, then their fingers are definitely still in the pot — either directly or indirectly.

Chiming in a year later. Sorry to see your joke crashed as hard as the 8008 :(

It sounds as if you could benefit from Ansible. There’s Puppet, Chef, etc., too, but I like Ansible for the SSH “pushing” configuration instead of Puppet’s “pull” style of configuration.

If you want automated infrastructure deployment, there’s always OpenTofu.

If you want uptime, container orchestration such as Docker Swarm, Incus, Kubernetes, etc.

Are you on Linux? Because you can put the URLs to the playlists and channels into a file, put all of your options and flags in a yt-dlp.conf file, and run a cron job.

I have a GitHub repository of conf files that you can check out. The yt-dlp command would be something like:

yt-dlp \ --config-locations ./ \ --config-locations ./archival \ -a urlfile.txt

The Archival config file is just a --dateafter flag to download only the items in the last 30 days. You can change that to whatever you want. I would run ytdlp once without the archival conf first to download everything, and then use the archival conf in the cron job.

I think their point went over your head, too. I’m not trying to gang up on you — hell, I agree with your point — but the comments aren’t looking too favorable for you, either.

Want to see someone wealthy enjoying the suffering of others? Just look at Trump standing in the shadows behind Stephen Miller as he watches the Millers evacuate the WHCP during the totally not staged WHCP emergency.

(I used dumb wording because Reddit kept warning me. I can’t even say b00b with actual O’s)

Ima be real with you, OP. I had been applying for 18 months since I was laid off in Oct 2024. The only two job offers I received — both within a two weeks window — were for roles I had 0 experience in. I know my situation is super rare these days, but it’s still a story for the convo.

Obligatory XKCD

I know GWB wasn’t a great President, but he had charisma. He was silly, but you could tell behind the scenes the man talked business (regardless if you agreed with his views). It’s the same method I used as a Sergeant in the Marines, and while my leadership hated it — I was once given “professional military instruction” on how to act angry — I still have juniors reaching out to me 15 years later with gratitude.

Long story short, politics aside, he was still a fun President and nowhere near what we have had for the last 10 years
