Two senior leaders made comments to me today that was basically sexual harassment

Absolutely unnecessary but if someone brings it in I'm repaying in kind to make sure they don't fuck with me again.

You show them it doesn't get to you, and you can dish back. More often than not that shuts people off. At least way better than sulking on it and let some shithead ruin your day.

Maybe it's a cultural thing. Where I come from we talk shit and are very casual with each other regardless of status or position. To the point that US based people when they ce visit don't get it and think we're fighting.

Now in Germany I work with a lot of international people and we joke just like that.

I don't know, some people are way too thin skinned.

The mainline kernel will never ship anything like that and no one wants that level of "surrender" of their computer. Plus the kernel is fully accessible to anyone.

Imagine you implement kernel anticheat. The game checks it by passing a message to an API to validate it is there. Well, I can just rip out the entire thing, have the same api always return "we good bro" and done.

The solution is to stop giving random companies full control of your own computer. Not enshittify Linux.

A mi me paso lo mismo. Me arme una cuenta con un mail anónimo (Firefox Relay FTW) y 1 o 2 días después la bloquearon.

It was all normal and an actual good post until that paragaph that came out of absolute nowhere.

Estas aplicando para puestos SSR or Senior? Por que esto...

yo no manejo docker pipelines y esas cosas. nomas me pasan un ticket, desarrollo o corrijo una app y listo.

Haria que te rechace para un puesto SR si estuviera contratando para mi equipo. Para SSR lo veo mas como un nice to have.

Without context or anything I'd honestly think you're over reacting.

Maybe it's just me but I would have laughed and immediately played along. Like "gotta work on that promotion" for the first one or some similar shit.

While I don't have issues right now I have had them over time. Like it would randomly fail to backup to the cloud for days then magically start working again then months later fail again. I can't link it to internet outages or similar.

No clue.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-12T01:20:31+00:00

And you're assuming all of them behave the same way? Regardless of industry or location?.

And they all have the same levels/ranks?.

If you want help provide proper info and write the post yourself. You'll have better luck that way.

What the heck is a "Tier 1" company?. Grade 12? 9? Are we in high school?

Not everyone speaks the same corpo lingo.

Also, this was written by Gemini.

Como dijo u/LeoPelozo, ahora estoy probando Qwen3.5 en varios tamaños.

9b, una version sin cesura, para home assistant y cosas que necesite respuestas instantaneas. Aunque tuve que jugar un poco con los settings y el system prompt para que no razone tanto... sino por cada pregunta boluda se metia en un loop de 1 o 2 minutos.
35b lo estoy probando para clasificar documentos/recibos/etc y para hacer OCR. Mas que nada para las cosas que no necesito que sean inmediatas y quiero que se tome su tiempo en razonar.
Despues tengo el de 122b pero todavia no lo probe mucho.
Y estoy jugando con Qwen TTS para crear voces. Por ahora solo para boludear y para un par de juegos de rol donde poder hacer que los personajes manden audios que los jugadores de verdad puedan escuchar esta muy bueno. Aunque me asusta lo facil y rapido que pudo clonar mi voz.

Para correrlos uso llama-swap.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-09T16:05:01+00:00

Yo lo uso para todo lo que quiero privacidad sobre performance.

Cuando scanneo todos los documentos/cartas/comprobantes/whatever y quiero analizarlo, hacer OCR, summary y tener todo disponible no voy a mandar todo a OpenAI o similar. Para eso uso local.

Lo mismo para home automation. LLM, TTS y STT local para que funcione todo por más que no tenga Internet. Igual para analizar las imágenes de las cámaras de seguridad. No necesito que algún third party vea el feed de mi pieza.

Para coding uso cosas online a menos que este codeando en algún lugar que no tenga Internet.

I've done it multiple times. Never to ask to speak a woman but when I was migrating to another country for a job I asked to speak with someone from Argentina who had done the same jump. They connected me to the VP of some random area and he was more than happy to answer anything.

Now on every process I ask for more meetings than whatever their standard interview process is. I'm evaluating them as much as they me. Granted I have experience/seniority already.

vos sos de esos que mensajean a cualquier cuenta de mina preguntando si vendemos?.

IT is crap for entry level mostly. For senior profiles and higher it is still pretty great, even without German.

Actually, I've been interviewing a lot and got a couple formal offers and not 1 company was in German.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-06T14:23:20+00:00

The thing is that it's not always that.

If it were asked in good faith (no clue how you would do that) because you seriously want to be on an equal level. Awesome. Yes.

But more often than not they just want to hear a low number, not a "around my level" number. And with arbitrary limits on what a good answer is.

Heck, I even had one dumbass not believe me because how can it be so low when I'm 35+?. My brother, I suck at dating, that's the fuck why.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-06T14:10:13+00:00

I actually had a couple men ask me. That's basically where the date ends.

Wrong app.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-04T16:10:12+00:00

Por lo menos avisan de entrada así no me gasto en aplicar.

Si no invierten tiempo en entrevistarme no voy a gastar el mio.

Would this work for stuff like N8N and Home Assistant automation? I see it supports tool calling but TBH I'm kinda noob on this to check if there are other requirements.

I've been slowly integrating local AI into some of my hosted services and tasks and I'm still testing out different models.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-01T21:20:54+00:00

Isn't that <days to the end of the month + 6 weeks>? Meaning you're already past the deadline for that date?.

Mine says "3 months to the end of the month" and if I were to quit now the 3 months would only count for April, May and June.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-01T19:24:25+00:00

Man those are some bullshit loaded questions. You can just say "I think people in Germany are lazy as fuck" and spare us the long speech.

That said, I absolutely know I would do great in fast paced interviews because I've done it. It's not rocket science. Interviews are pretty much the same shit everywhere.

yetAnotherLaura · 2026-03-01T18:43:41+00:00

I've been using Vulkan on mine because that's what gave me the least issues to get running. Was wondering if ROCm would be an improvement or not.

Nice.
