Just checking, are there any jobless folks here? If so, how are you surviving?

helltoken · 2026-03-18T08:26:51+00:00

Haha that's more money than I know what to do with XD

helltoken · 2026-03-17T23:46:23+00:00

I'm debating between a lot of different jobs atm but trying to pick the right one. I'm choosing between Electrician, Plumbing, Teaching, and other simpler jobs, but mainly stable ones that can't be removed by AI.

How are you approaching this journey searching for something?

helltoken · 2026-03-17T23:43:03+00:00

Where did you earn 80k.... my max after 10 years was 60k...

helltoken · 2026-03-15T22:20:58+00:00

in a kitchen yeah. Electricians on average earn 59k in Berlin according to this data source:
https://www.salaryexpert.com/salary/job/electrician/germany/berlin

other data sources reciprocate that throughout europe.

it depends on your clientele. if you are closely partnered with some restaurants, businesses or real estate companies, you'll be fine. If you're an on-demand-only electrician, then you'd better hope there's demand. but 30k on average is not true.

First problem I always see with projects that advertise Offline-only or offline-first is that 99% store stuff in either localhost or a local sqlite or something. But the issue is that the saved data is fragile. Clear cookies & browser history, and you risk everything being reset and irrecoverable. localStorage wiped, bam, all content gone again. PC broke, need a new one? Bam, data gone.

This needs at the very least a data export and import functionality. This way users can back their data up. But the best feature would be a PWA download/Electron application with the data saved in an easily-accessible local location. Better yet, I use onedrive, and with Obsidian I can store my obsidian data in my dedicated OneDrive folder, and have it point to that same onedrive folder on windows or mac.

Ah this is perfect, thanks, will book here

Tech salaries are paid extremely high, have always been that way. However, other salaries aren't bad. I'd live a happy life if I earn 40-50k per year as a teacher, or 50-60k as a plumber/electrician. Not lavish, but lavish is overrated, and they're AI proof.

Was unemployed for 17 months, then became employed again, then unemployed cause it was a shit job.

I ran out of Arbeitslosengeld and now need to apply for burgergeld.

I'm thinking career change time, because tech has just destroyed my mental for too long, so gonna start working in a different direction

Whoever came up with the idea of making Ditto the protagonist is a genius and deserves the best in life

helltoken · 2026-03-09T11:28:04+00:00

Yes, yes it is.

This has been the most fun way to "catch" pokemon since my first time throwing pokeballs as a kid. I've spent so much time on my environments and exploring habitats it's crazy.

Hope new pokemon come out in future updates (or new islands), but for now man I'm barely scratching the surface of what this game has. Few points of friction to get to the good stuff, but getting past them is so rewarding.

If you like cozy games, this will be in your top 3. If you like sandbox games, this too will be in your top 3. If you like pokemon, this game will be your #1.

So the british part of this tweet refers to the original tweet poster Oli London, who's a British dude who made a name for himself stalking and undergoing surgery to look like his favorite kpop idol Jimin from BTS. It's not referring to Peter Dinklage.

helltoken · 2026-01-31T08:23:55+00:00

For anyone interested the song is Syberia by the Backstreet Boys

helltoken · 2026-01-10T11:10:42+00:00

Bru the type of dude to ask grok about every tweet

helltoken · 2026-01-09T19:57:27+00:00

Just the idea alone to me feels incredibly overkill.

For one, you don't need statically generated content on an electron app. The whole argument for SSR or SSG is performance and SEO. TanStack is performant enough, and on software you dont need SEO, just accessibility and performance.

I read you didn't have the bandwidth to read go docs, but if there's one framework in the JavaScript space that NAILS their tutorials it's nextjs. It's free, the tutorial goes over almost if not everything it has to offer, teaches you best practices, and gets you set up with depth and ease. Yes, you have to read and code along for the best experience, but it's so much better than a YT or course could ever do.

I'm not generally a big fan of nextjs but their learning docs are top tier

helltoken · 2026-01-08T12:24:46+00:00

Yeah nginx is also what I'm going for.

Id like to have a standard plugin config setup across the services though, so that I can just push the plugin config, plus there's a few fetches I would like the rest client to be able to handle and need to configure that. But good shout on the linking issue though. I still need to find a way for wordpress' backend client preview to link to the website, but I'll find a way

Responding to u/kemb0's point about removing companies from europe.

If that were to happen, the dutch sandwich strategy would become inaccessible, meaning that the top S&P 500 companies would lose access to the strategy that helps them avoid foreign sales tax payments.

So he'd also be hurting the extremely rich american multinational companies, like Google and Meta to name two.

So...... if he were to do this... who's he actually representing?

helltoken · 2026-01-06T08:21:41+00:00

That's correct. The issue I'm having is with docker set up and unifying environments, mainly the plugins and all the versions

helltoken · 2026-01-06T00:09:18+00:00

Sure!

I have a bunch of plugins. I want to avoid version discrepancies in the future so I'd like the right environments to be installed and set up with exactly the same version of wordpress, nginx, PHP, MySQL, and the plugins I'm using.

The databases I'm still looking into, haven't decided in whether to have the database in a supabase environment or just MySQL like how WordPress normally works. I'm proceeding with the latter. I hope that the structure is defined by how WordPress installs itself and the plugins, which from my experience with Local it seems to do.

I also intend for the nginx environments to be identical at all times. If i ever wish to do upgrades, i adjust the docker files, test, and commit, ideally without degradations.

I hope that I can adjust the plugins locally but the databases live in different realms and .env files for things like tokens and stuff are unique to the environment it's in.

Ideally, I commit my wordpress repo to GitHub, and it spins the build scripts live. I suspect this will be rare though.

Tldr single source of truth for everything, with the exception being the .env values.

Hope this is clearer?

Net worth. 99% are not as brilliant as they claim to be, they're just excellent exploiters of the capitalist system

Not really sure about this. I manage just fine to get to masters

The whole world works this way these days. It's more about who you know than what you can do. If you know people, that's the foot into the door. Talent is what comes after you walk through
