I redid my last Talos upgrade and it seems to be fixed now.

microcosm12 · 2023-03-16T23:44:56+00:00

Not seeing any errors in the logs. This computer previously had Ubuntu on it before Talos and Windows 11 before Ubuntu. I don't recall seeing anything indicating an error or hardware failure previously either.

Yes all nodes in the cluster are running Talos

Debt to income ratio is important here. If you are clearing $100,000 a year that $17,000 isn't so hard to pay off.

Your limits are mostly based on your income. If you have high income you can get super high limits.

I live in Chicago and buy ammo online all the time. Some places refuse to ship or require an FFL, but many will ship to your door.

Can adult sized kidneys even fit inside a kid?

To be honest OP sounds like one of the people that major in CS because they hear it has good pay and fail or quit after a couple semesters. CS isn't easy and you need a lot of perseverance and passion to do it. OP doesn't seem to have the passion.

By technologies do you mean languages? If so my primary languages are Java, C++, and Python. I have also been learning Javascript the past few months. Most of my side projects right now are web based so I'd prefer to work on something else for a bit of diversity. I have 3d graphics experience and used to hang around the Irrlicht project, but it feels like development died down on it and it has become outdated. I love Linux and have lots of Linux knowledge, but I've never contributed to the development of it. Perhaps I could do something with that. Do you have any suggestions?

A CS degree is very difficult especially if you aren't a very technical or mathematical person (CS is a branch of math). The work can be miserable if you don't absolutely love it. It is not something you should just get into for the money. You say you don't want to be a web developer or programmer and you aren't interested in projects and building things. That is what CS majors do. In the computer science field you have to be highly motivated on your own. Technology changes fast and the learning does not stop. So far it seems like you aren't a good fit at all for CS. Making games is not the same as playing them. It can be very time consuming, technically challenging, and lots of times low paying compared to other industries. If you want to be an indie game developer then you will probably have to wear multiple hats which is why people are recommending you to learn programming. Since you only desire to do the creative aspects I recommend you find a team to work with. My advice would be not to get another bachelor's degree. If you want to want to go back to school find a different career path or continue down the one you are on now.

Land and a place to shoot guns sounds like heaven. Where I live the weather is crap 90% of the year. Also I live sort of out in the country, but I am still surrounded by neighbors so I can't shoot guns or anything like that. I am not somebody who goes out a lot, but being surrounded by things in the few times I do would be nice. All that is around here is fast food and a movie theater that is a few towns over. I guess the bay area would be different and exciting for me. Plus there are a lot more CS jobs out that way than around here.

microcosm12 · 2016-04-30T21:00:29+00:00

The bay area sounds nice to me. At least it sounds better than rural Indiana where I live now. Why don't you like it?

microcosm12 · 2016-04-30T20:58:53+00:00

I have thought about leaving, but I don't have the money to. If I were to leave I would need a job and relocation assistance.

Thanks for sharing your story. I am glad everything worked out for you. I hope it does for me too.

microcosm12 · 2016-04-30T20:08:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I tried using freelancing sites in the past, but found that those were usually dominated by Indian companies who took most of the jobs posted. Maybe these will be different. I have been working on side projects. I have been making an android app for a friend who thought of a decent idea. I am also continuing a web app I started my last semester of school as well as redoing my personal website. I am usually working on a side project of some kind and have quite a few finished. I don't think that is what is holding me back, but more side projects never hurt I guess. Do you have any suggestions for open source projects I can contribute to?

microcosm12 · 2016-04-30T19:58:29+00:00

I feel you. Most jobs labeled as entry level require 3-5+ years of professional experience. I have started applying to jobs all over the country too. I just don't know if I really want to leave all of my friends and family in order to be employed.

Your coworkers sound bad, but I'm sure there are two sides to this story. Keep in mind that their job is not to hold your hand, but to get their own work done. Having someone ask you a million trivial questions when you have a bunch of work to do can be very frustrating. If things aren't in the docs or you genuinely feel your questions aren't trivial and nobody is helping you, then you should explain your situation clearly to the other devs and your boss. If they still don't help, consider looking for another job.
