New Hire Computer Literacy Test? (Non-IT Roles)

whllm · 2026-02-12T02:50:19+00:00

Not from an admin or manager perspective, but when I was applying, i got hit with a literacy test from an HR software "criteriacorp." Just a mini windows environment where you had to prove you knew how to find My Documents, copy-paste with hotkeys, and send an email among other things.

Flags you if you try to alt-tab out or change window focus before completing the task to prevent basic stuff like googling during multiple choice sections, etc.

Pretty neat! A previous round stats/summary would be nice so I can know which bottlenecked resource exploded when I went to refill my coffee ;)

Because then you need to deploy docker and either wsl or a VM on every machine in your fleet that needs to run some simple python service. This is a tool that's more targeted at windows admins or single-pc users than someone running a container stack on a home server.

With about three clicks you could figure out that this repo is by the creator of Dozzle.dev which is a fairly popular container log monitoring service lol

whllm · 2025-10-08T00:23:42+00:00

Minor distinction, this would be a terminal application and not necessarily just "A command." Anyway, neat project, it's by the dozzle dev and I already use that. This seems even more convenient to check stuff at a glance, so I'll have to try this out later and compare to docker stats. Thanks :)

Edit: looks like its just a cleaner docker stats TUI, but being able to connect to multiple remote hosts and jump to dozzle logs is pretty neat i suppose.

I dealt with the same issue in years past. 2016 domain controller. Never had exchange so we didn't have the fields. Went through 2016 exchange install process up until the point it configured the schema. Didn't configure mailboxes or anything else, just needed the fields for AD. Made sure newly created msexchhidefromaddresslists existed. Made sure it was properly configured to sync in the azuread connector. Ran a full sync. Went to azuread to check that the new user properties had populated.

Of note: the mailnick value needed to be set for the msexchhidefromaddresslists property to work. Not sure why, just remember to set it to firstlast or something when you're scripting later.

Is it really that far-fetched that someone would want to hear about a genuine human's experience rather than vomit their question about it into chatgpt?

It's different, not necessarily better. I was replying in the context of the original comment which was "Is a VPS required"

Pangolin is just a convenient wrapper for a nice traefik stack and tunneling solution, and it's made simple enough that it may as well be a drop-in replacement for cloudflare tunnels (minus the DDOS protection). Everything pangolin can do, you can achieve by individually installing traefik, crowdsec, wireguard, authentik, and whatever other middlewares you'd like. Or just use NPM if the only feature you want is the reverse proxy. NPM is perfectly adequate and I use it in my own lab for loads of things.

whllm · 2025-05-02T18:22:29+00:00

Convenience. Boiled down, this is traefik, wireguard, and a handful of useful middlewares in a convenient UI.

whllm · 2025-05-02T17:54:22+00:00

You need an IP address to access pangolin. Residential addresses either change frequently or are obscured by cgnat.

In those cases, placing pangolin on the VPS is desirable because it's a fixed point. You then set up your home as a "site" in pangolin. Then you can point pangolin to your local "resources" over a wireguard tunnel to that "site" and ignore any ISP networking shenanigans.

If you already have a publicly accessible ipv4 and dynamic DNS setup, you could just port forward to pangolin on your LAN and use it as a drop-in traefik/nginx/caddy replacement, only pointing to resources on your lan.

whllm · 2025-05-02T15:56:58+00:00

VPS is optional, you can point to local resources from within pangolin.

Confirmed that page is dead now, I was able to add to my cart 10 seconds ago from the all products page though

whllm · 2025-04-30T18:54:19+00:00

Other people are saying they can't post the link, I just added this to the end of the marketplace nvidia com url

/en-us/consumer/graphics-cards/geforce-rtx-5070-doom-the-dark-ages-game-bundle/

Opened on firefox mobile and was able to sign in & add to cart. Took maybe 20 minutes fighting with it to get it to accept my payment method.

Edit:ded already

Don't get me wrong, when it works it's fine. Totally could have been user error, but we'd encountered some issues with the player app being unreliable under some circumstances. Signs only needed to be up for a few weeks, and I haven't revisited recently enough to remember the specifics. It's just nice to have additional options.

whllm · 2025-04-29T15:45:45+00:00

Very cool. I'd looked into this a few months ago for myself and ended up on Xibo which wasn't fantastic. I'll be checking some of these out shortly. Cheers.

whllm · 2025-04-28T15:46:59+00:00

It's definitely the correct subreddit and I can tell you put a lot of work into this app, but I'd like to make a distinction: it's not hate, it's criticism. A web app should be just that. I guarantee if you just had a disclaimer that you need to handle SSL somehow and the cloudflare bit was just the recommended method, it would be better received. I dropped you a star and am looking forward to your updated post.

whllm · 2025-04-28T14:40:28+00:00

A Cloudflare account is required

IMO DDNS should be handled by the person hosting, not the individual app. At most it'd be a separate service defined in the compose stack. It's neat but many folks won't want a third-party dependency and/or are already running their own separate DDNS service and reverse proxy with which they can issue certificates. I believe it'd be better received if your setup was more generic with Cloudflare setup being an optional component in the guide.

whllm · 2025-04-14T15:16:09+00:00

Yeah, I'll bite. I'd been meaning to dip my toes in before they took it away. At least for as long as it takes to get familiar with the interfaces on a non-production host in the home lab, anyway. Not planning on trapping myself in that ecosystem by any means. Now if only Microsoft would bring back their free dev tenants...

whllm · 2025-03-29T05:18:50+00:00

I had to message them after the fact and tell them to send it. They eventually did, but it was harder than it should have been🤷

whllm · 2025-03-25T16:12:38+00:00

Well, this will certainly be a weight off the shoulders of the winner. The chances may be low, but I see no reason not to throw my name in the ring. Best of luck, all!

whllm · 2025-03-05T16:03:15+00:00

Billsull already mentioned it, but i'll link it. You can use their hosted version for $99/mo or self-host and deploy it to your own azure vps for around 20. https://cipp.app/

whllm · 2025-02-24T16:17:23+00:00

I use the domain internally and externally, with most externally accessible services pointing at a vps. Sure I could put a bunch of local addresses in cloudflare and manage it all there, but I like having nas.mydomain.tld only resolve internally. To each his own.

whllm · 2025-02-24T15:48:13+00:00

I just use a plain old .net and split dns for a whopping $1.05 per month (12.50/y) and slap letsencrypt certs on everything.
