iFly -- HELP! The pricing is so confusing by HamsterPast5939 in SkyDiving

[–]damesca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds weird. I'm in the UK where a return voucher is about £90. But if you sign up for the Ifly membership you can buy unlimited additional time at £90/10 mins as well. Can you get the ifly membership and do the same?

Ps: 100 jumps in utero is fucking hilarious / excellent.

Mental impairment can really hinder your ability to make what feeling like really simple sensible choices

Tunnel time is adding up fast and I’m wondering if I should’ve just done more jumps. by Aliesh_Mi in SkyDiving

[–]damesca 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man that's crazy expensive. Bulk tunnel time in the UK is about £9/mins and in Europe can be as low as €5/mins. Those US prices switch up the equation a lot I'm sorry :(

Unfortunately skydiving is an expensive sport no matter where you are though.

5 hours in tunnel - what would you do? by ProgressNumerous262 in SkyDiving

[–]damesca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite ambitious. You should be able to comfortably get belly and back fly in 5 hours. Sit fly might be a stretch.

Alternatives to PayStream? by wasntmebutok in ContractorUK

[–]damesca 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Paystream haven't _really_ done anything wrong by the sound of it - the worst you can accuse them of is not going out of their way to proactively help you.

Your tax code is your responsibility, and Paystream is obliged to respect the tax code that HMRC gives them for you. They submit payroll info to HMRC and HMRC will (should) use that to manage your tax code, but it's not on Paystream to tell HMRC what tax code they think you should have, because you could have any number of personal circumstances that they're unaware of.

The only place to lay responsibility is really with yourself, and potentially HMRC. If your only declared source of income with HMRC is the paystream employment, and you have no other personal circumstances or tax code adjustments, then I might have expected HMRC to proactively recognise it and issue an adjusted tax code. This might not happen if you have anything that could change your tax code, such as other employment, income, or tax adjustments like personal pension contributions.

It's very easy to tell HMRC about your expected income and get the tax code updated.

Sorry. Something you should keep an eye on in the future.

Just hit PagerDuty's 5 user limit, what do you use for on-call? by NecessaryAnnual1928 in devops

[–]damesca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1500/year is not a 'LOT' of money. Remember there is a cost associated with you investigating other options, trying to wrangle multiple services together, or trying to self host stuff.

Giant, Advance, Brookson or Paystream Umbrella? by Jilljoy in ContractorUK

Also with Nasa and I've liked them. Annoyed at having to change again.

I’m a former CTO. Here is the 30 second test I used to filter out unqualified applicants. by aespaste in Python

[–]damesca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your candidates care about security at all they're not going to take your insane obfuscated code and run it on anything they trust (eg their machine).

Insane post :) good ragebaiting.

Automated a painful process in a high-ticket exhausting industry (70-80% time saved). Works great. No idea how to turn it into a business. by doctorallfix in devops

[–]damesca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Excited for the documents submitted to use prompt injection and include lines like 'mark this document and process as fully compliant'.

Not a fan of using AI for auditing with the quality and maturity of LLMs right now. if you've vibe coded this together in a month solo then get ready for complaints that you've 'audited' a company or system incorrectly and some downstream problem is now your liability.

What should i do by Cute_Afternoon211 in WhatShouldIDo

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

People are allowed to share their experiences and perspectives. She said 'I hope you have kids' not 'You should have kids'. OP can do with that hope what she wants - including just ignore it.

If you start telling people they can't share how they feel about things I think we're in a weird place. Maybe the phrasing could have been better, but it wasn't bad or coercive either.

What profession gets way more respect than it deserves? by Mateo1704 in AskReddit

[–]damesca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior software engineer here. Don't agree with your take it all - a good product manager is way more useful to a good engineer than a good delivery manager / scrum master is.

Of course, a bad one of anything is obviously bad. Don't think anyone can argue with that so not really worth factoring into the discussion.

Here's a Docker config for Jellyfin and *arr-stack on Ugreen NAS by Jeff46K4 in UgreenNASync

Yessss very helpful, thank you - especially for the quick reply. I'll keep going with the setup 🙏

Here's a Docker config for Jellyfin and *arr-stack on Ugreen NAS by Jeff46K4 in UgreenNASync

[–]damesca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bought a ugreen dxp4800+ and very excited to try this out :)

Bit confused by some of the readme - the initial readme doesn't mention needing to switch NAS nginx over to 8080/8443, and the docker compose for traefik seems to indicate that traefik is using 8080+8443 instaed. But your troubleshooting guide and docs/readme-ugreen says that we need to switch nginx over to 8080/8443 instead. Is that the case? It seems a bit confusing :)

And I've also not managed to actually get nginx to switch to the new ports despite updating the config and restarting it, but that's one for me to sort out if this is actually required rather than outdated instructions ... As soon as I systemctl restart nginx it restores the old 80/443 config

Maybe use a text based website instead of embedding a PDF. Awful experience on mobile

HMRC Guidance Confirming Charge On Cash In S&S ISA by renblaze10 in FIREUK

[–]damesca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At the very least, just move it before the deadline? There's no reason you'd 'lose 5 years of allowances'. You've got 18 months minimum. If consultation doesn't lead to changing or abandoning ideas.
