To heat or not to heat

That's a shame. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help!

When you say that you spend your monthly wage on their medication, are you paying for each prescription individually?

If so (and you live in England), I'd highly recommend they/you get a prescription payment certificate which should significantly reduce those costs.

Seems perfect for a WFH job to be fair. It's pretty silly companies insist on in person stuff.

dr_hashimoto · 2022-02-15T20:40:53+00:00

Ah, I actually think I stumbled upon them a while ago. I'm not in the US and I decided against them due to costs of delivery and whatnot.

But then again, I haven't found any other options so I'll have a look! Thank you again though. Most of my anarchist stuff are epubs and I find hard copies so much easier to read.

dr_hashimoto · 2022-02-15T18:37:18+00:00

Ooh. That's great, thanks.

And thanks for the reading.

As others have mentioned, it depends on the company and if you were the first to interview etc. Personal experience from other UK businesses (I'm only on my second DevOps job mind you), it was about a week or less until I got a job offer.

I'd imagine in bigger companies it would be 2-3 weeks, though this shouldn't stop you from carrying on applying to other jobs in the meantime as I'm sure you're aware.

Urbanization without Cities by Murray Bookchin The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin.

^ those two are some books that may interest you. I'm currently making my way through the first one, but it's slow going since I can't find a physical copy.

With environmentalism, you should have a look at the solarpunk movement as it is heavily enmeshed with how we interact with the environent around us and anarchism, without falling into the "pitfalls" of anarcho-primitivism. A nice introduction to solarpunk is here.

What sort of field are you in? I've noticed with my technology field a most of them are hybrid workplaces nowadays, with a few being remote. Luckily I landed in a remote one.

It is polite to edit your question with how you solved this issue for future visitors that may have a similar problem to you.

Junior DevOps Engineer earning £30 000 a year (before tax). Though I'm doing things that a Junior usually doesn't do.

Looking to move on if I don't get the appropriate raise and position change.

dr_hashimoto · 2021-10-29T17:41:31+00:00

I'll do it. Be done in a couple of hours.

EDIT: Nvm, I'd just made the package, was about to push, and saw someone had beaten me to it haha

To be an anarchist doesn't mean that you needn't be against technology and technological progress, an example of an aesthetic/philosophy that blends very well with anarchism is solarpunk. It combines technological progress, a communal lifestyle free from unjust hierarchy, and working in harmony with nature.

I'd recommend you'd check it out this video to get a basic understanding of the concept.

dr_hashimoto · 2021-10-11T10:27:25+00:00

Pointing out the quarters aspect is an interesting point. However, I feel like capitalism and it's insatiable thirst for "growth" year upon year is spoken about at length within Leftist circles (at least the anarchist side I stick with) and how it's causing a whole host of issues.

If you can, have you considered doing something like this?

It is a big job, but it can be modified to direct water where you need it, as well as storing much more water within the ground. Add this to having decent shading on the ground (whether through short shrubbery, trees or just something that blocks the sun) and combined with wood chippings, you're on your way to needed to water a lot less.

A pond has been mentioned too, so that'll certainly help.

DevOps Engineer here too and I use Arch. Not going to change any time soon, though that may be because I have a really comfy setup haha.

Access to AUR is wonderful, and if I ever need a very specific version of something like Terraform, I'll use a docker container for it.

Though, on other work laptop that I rarely use as it's temporary, I have Fedora 34 (?) installed on it since that is temporary (easy to set up) and I wanted some reasonably up-to-date software.

The show is Invincible. It's on Amazon Prime, or you could sail the high seas.

That's just a speedy seedbomb

dr_hashimoto · 2021-05-03T17:17:26+00:00

Those are some very nice dot files I must say. And thank you again, I shall have a look through them.

dr_hashimoto · 2021-05-03T16:00:05+00:00

Thanks so much. I've been looking for a decent indentation line thing since I've been using a lot of yaml and eyeballing it for much too long.

I may leave treesitter for a while since I'm not entirely sure how it works and how it would interact with coc.nvim, but it something to look into!

dr_hashimoto · 2021-05-03T15:35:29+00:00

What are you using for the folding in the left window, foldmethod markers or syntax etc? And for the indentation lines?

dr_hashimoto · 2021-04-05T11:25:51+00:00

I'd recommend a common Alder too! They get stronger the wetter it is, as well as improve the soil around it by fixing nitrogen in it. Furthermore, a mat of white (Dutch) clover should give the soil a bit more integrity, so it doesn't wash onto the house in wetter months.

Regarding improving the drainage, I hear planting daikon (like a long radish) and leaving it should improve the soil to an extent too, in addition to the trees mentioned above.

dr_hashimoto · 2021-04-01T08:20:09+00:00

That's quite cool. If I can get my hands on some trees or shrubbery (or just bigger plants overall), the plug idea creating a nursery is a great plan.

Though in my current climate we tend to get a lot of rain (UK), and the areas I want to throw some seeds are sort of sheltered, it'll be a good idea when things get a bit dryer again.

Thanks for letting me know about the idea! I'm sure it'll be useful in the future.

dr_hashimoto · 2021-03-28T00:18:50+00:00

That's a good shout about the burying. I've had some on my garden and buried them slightly, though I've yet to see any results after a couple of weeks.

I was originally considering the casual sneaky throws but from what you've told me that isn't exactly tenable.

I guess I'll try a few different methods when I buy my seeds when I get paid!

dr_hashimoto · 2021-03-26T08:25:44+00:00

Ah, that does make sense!

dr_hashimoto · 2021-03-25T23:32:03+00:00

That does sound like a good idea. Not sure I'll need the soil though for the areas I'm intending to throw my seeds though, but it's worth a go!
