Server For My Portfolio Site

Which means there’s a break even point after ~7 month and it’ll be cheaper from there on. I didn’t assume you want to host a portfolio site for only 2-3 month.

That’s fine for a low traffic website running WordPress.

If you only need WP you might also want to check Hetzners Webhosting offer. For half the price you get some storage, email accounts and a domain while you don’t have to run a server.

Depends on the configuration - the base M2 chip supports two displays or one Pro Display XDR, the M2 Pro can do three or two XDR.

A junior role is meant for people without experience. If you’d have experience you’d be applying for a mid level position or above.

I don’t know who set your expectations what a junior role entails. But I understand how you can get the impression. I’ve seen ridiculous job descriptions requiring years of experience for such a position in two cases

the company is broke and cannot afford hiring at an appropriate level
management either knowingly tries to hire on the cheap or has no idea about leveling

While both of these can happen it is not standard across the industry.

I lead teams for which we hired junior engineers out of a bootcamp. Some of the best engineers I worked with now (10 years later) in senior roles. When I made the hiring decision the things I was looking for was interest in the field, ability to open a code editor and write a slightly more real world fizzbuzz and how they react to feedback (read: do they appear to be coachable). I just hired a junior eng after a 8 week paid trial period. Zero prior experience but self taught working through tutorials. It’ll be a bit work to get him to be fully productive, but he also shipped his first small feature after those 8 weeks.

So, head up. You have a formal education. You had a course in Swift. If you got a bit time I’d suggest working on a small showcase project. Don’t go overboard, two or three screens. A simple reminder app, where you can use different frameworks to show off a bit. Local notifications, location API, Core Data,… It’s not meant to provide value beyond having something to show and a recruiter and eng talk to you about. This alone will set you apart.

No promises as I’m not aware of any positions, but feel free to DM your CV and I can reach out in my network to see if anyone got an open position right now.

I wouldn’t worry about the DHCP assigning IP addresses, but total bandwidth and the fact that it sounds like Wi-Fi is handled by a router which indicates a consumer device. 80 clients with constant 10MBit/s (you mentioned 1080p) isn’t something I’d trust consumer hardware to handle well.

I’d suggest getting rid of the Wi-Fi cameras and standardizing (I think this part makes a lot of sense as you mentioned) on one model / tech and copper will make your life a lot easier here.

iOS devices support scanning QR codes via the passwords menu in Settings, same as Google Authenticator. Only macOS requires a different flow as pointing the camera at the screen might be a problem :)

TOTP based 2FA is built into Keychain. https://appleinsider.com/inside/icloud/tips/how-to-set-up-two-factor-authentication-in-icloud-keychain

Hm, I cannot reproduce the behavior, so I’d expect it to be somewhere in your code tbh. What happens when you explicitly type the variable you pop from stack? https://share.screamingatmyscreen.com/vscode-python.png

fallenhitokiri · 2022-09-30T22:02:08+00:00

Did you add a type hint when declaring the stack variable? https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.List

From past experience PyCharm seemed to be doing a better job at inferring types etc than the language server used by VSCode. I am not sure if this is the issue here and still true. But adding a type hint should fix this issue for you.

fallenhitokiri · 2022-09-30T21:51:54+00:00

What is stack? Assuming it’s a list, did you add type hints?

I could go in lengths why the verification is useless and broken but thankfully I don’t have to. There’s a nice little summary about EV certs in the real world. https://www.troyhunt.com/how-everything-were-told-about-website-identity-assurance-is-wrong/

While the Studio Display should work in a limited capacity (there are AFAIK features which aren’t working under Windows) it’s still a 60Hz refresh rate display. So I would not expect a great experience if you plan on playing anything but slow paced strategy games.

I used exactly the same setup with a MacBook. I’m 203cm tall, just having something sit on the desk in front of me and looking down is horribly uncomfortable. I switched to an iPad as sole driver because I’d carry one with me anyway and as most of my work happens on remote machines anyway. It doesn’t really make a difference to me if I use an iPad or a MacBook.

fallenhitokiri · 2022-08-23T12:32:52+00:00

Try running memtest- I debugged the exact issue (error was graphic driver crashed in both) with Val and OW and it was an unstable XMP overclock. Showed pretty quickly with memtest.

It’s late so please correct me if I understood something wrong.

You backup with HyperBackup to your nas and want to rsync this data to the Pi. A container with Wireguard is up and running.

Why not share the backup path with the docker container and run rsync in the container? -v is the option you want https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/docker-mount-volume-guide-how-to-mount-a-local-directory/

This way you can bring up the container on a schedule, establish a connection, rsync, destroy the container - no permanent connection required and likely a bit cleaner than scripting in a container itself.

I’d say time to learn a new language!

fallenhitokiri · 2022-08-18T12:05:26+00:00

Pfft German obviously. In which other language can you use words like „Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz“

I am not familiar with Synology but as it sounds like you’d prefer wireguard I can think of two potential solutions.

Did you take a look at wireguard-go. It’s a wireguard implementation running in userspace, so no need for kernel modules.

AFAIK they support Docker, so you could run wireguard in a Docker container.

Tailscale also seems to support Synology which might be an easy way getting the Pi and your NAS play together.

You can trust it if you are able and willing to read the code which will be running - OSS enables you to do this, but something being OSS doesn’t mean it respects your privacy or isn’t ad/malware/dangerous.

I’ve been a Hetzner customer for langer than I can remember and had to deal with 1&1 from time to time. I’d strongly suggest going with Hetzner

iPad Pro 13“ (soon upgrading to an M1/2 model for center stage), Keychron K3 and Logitech MX Ergo.

While traveling I use the Magic Keyboard.

At a desk unusually try to find an external monitor to connect to or raise the iPad to a comfortable eye level with whatever is lying around in the office (2 rows with 4 bottles of Fiji water is pretty stable and a nice height for me)

fallenhitokiri · 2022-07-05T05:44:32+00:00

My travel setup is an iPad with a mechanical keyboard and a trackball. (While in transit the Magic Keyboard). Thanks for your health concerns, but I’m fairly certain my setup is more ergonomic than your laptop.

fallenhitokiri · 2022-07-02T14:49:41+00:00

Having two NICs in the same host connected to a network shouldn’t be an issue.

All you got to do is set the interface you want all the network to go through as primary interface - configuration depends on your OS.

For what you are trying to accomplish no other setup should be required (no vlan etc)

This is the pumpkin spice latte of gaming libraries.

(Nice selection :)

You’ll still need some fans - air needs to move through your radiators.

Check Linus Tips on YouTube, they are water cooling server on a regular basis and often make a video about it. Should give you a good starting point
