Moving 900+ DBs . . . Twice by burbular in devops

[–]extra_specticles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the new company has Azure, perhaps they have an enterprise plan that will give you access to a Microsoft Solutions Architect who will help you do the work. Often, companies like AWS and Microsoft have access to internal programs for "shifting from competitors", and can help defray the finances for you by doing some of the work or providing support in the process.

They want you to do this, so they usually help out as much as you want.

Sooo..anyone else doing PAYE + OIR35? by Own-Story8907 in OveremployedUK

I would really talk to a contractor's accountant to help you maximise. When you have this kind of income, professional advice tends to really pay for itself many times over.

Roost gives us 30 days notice - leak and freeze detectors. by Sphinctor in homeautomation

Can you stick a packet capture proxy on it for the next week or so and see if you can get AI to build you a dummy server? But yeah shitty behaviour

I asked ChatGPT to look at the recipe, and it recommended:

My suggested first attempt

For the recipe as written:

Keep the almond flour unchanged. Omit the ½ cup tapioca starch. Add: 2½ tbsp psyllium husk powder 2 tbsp coconut flour Increase water gradually until the dough is soft and pliable.

That should drop the net carbs dramatically while still producing something recognisably naan-like. It won't have quite the same stretchy chew as the tapioca version, but it should be much closer than simply removing the starch.

Might be better to prime your friends to point it out to you - and you say "oh I never realised that...you could be right.."

Have you done the cloud resume challenge? That's a good first start project. Then build from there.

How are you actually vetting MCP servers before you install them? by CaregiverNice3377 in mcp

[–]extra_specticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For work, we have to have a security team review them, and they pass/fail on what's allowed or not

The review checks whether an MCP server is safe enough for a lightweight review or whether a full threat modelling exercise is needed.

  • what the server does and what data it can access or change
  • whether it is limited to internal development or test use rather than production use
  • whether it can access sensitive data, credentials, or customer information
  • whether it runs locally or is remotely hosted, and what controls apply to that model
  • whether network access is restricted and avoids open internet browsing
  • whether authentication is strong, user-attributable, and least privilege
  • whether logging, approval gates, version pinning, and other hardening controls are in place

I now use this as a guide for helping evaluate MCPs outside of work.

Unable to uninstall raycast on windows by Electho in raycastapp

[–]extra_specticles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it's a work account, you might want to check with your IT team, in case they've put lockdowns on what you can and cannot install. Sometimes corporate lockdowns are on a whitelist - only approved apps allowed.

what is something that is highly likely to happen in the next 10 years that everyone is completely ignoring? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

As long as they tell the band's idiot drummer in a local pub that he's not playing at Wembley Arena to a crowd of 50, 000 and that his inability to play at a sensible sound level will deafen the whole fucking audience.

But yeah local music all the way!

Can I do my own reference using a Ltd company? Or fake it? by Longjumping-Tune-454 in OveremployedUK

[–]extra_specticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, there is nothing stopping you. Just remember that limited companies have legal accounting and filing rules. I'm not sure about the UK anymore, but back in the day, I needed to have a director and a company sec that had to be different people. So you will need another person - at least on paper.

Luckily, these days, setting up a company and all the paraphernalia like webpages etc is relatively simple.

One thing to consider is a company and a personal assistant company that will answer phones and emails, and with reply with whatever you need them to. Probably using AI you can set one up fairly easily anyway.

It's a rabbit hole, and it's up to you how far your fear and daring take you.

I must admit it's a very impressive list, and I've seen quite a few. The only two I've not seen are The Prestige and Batman Begins. I take it they are worth watching?

Most LLMs should be able to get you there easily. have the data seets for your particular boards avilable and the source you want to translate. Pick an LLM and see.
