The first page of my resume covers my technical skills, a summary of myself, and my most recent jobs.

When you go past that, it gets to older jobs that are still relevant, then into school, then to side projects, volunteer, etc. basically, if you liked the first page, the rest of it gives them more about who I am.

I think at this point it’s either 3 or 4 pages and every time I’ve gotten a job it’s been one where they asked me about the hobbies on the bottom of the last page, which meant they liked what they saw and liked my interview well enough.

When I update it for my next search, I’ll take my first internship off because it’s no longer relevant, but most everything else is.

+1 to JetBrains.

I started using them like 8 years ago and have never looked back. My dad introduced them to me when I was doing some homework on a family trip and my laptop was dead. After that, I used them for every class in college, then used them at a job where they didn’t provide an IDE but I had the subscription.

Even when I’m not developing at home consistently, it’s just so much better to have it than not.

The PWA app works decent, but, unless I did something wrong, it would open links in itself instead of my main Firefox window which wasn’t what I’d want normally.

I still use it, but it’s definitely not as nice as I’d want it to be.

Definitely one of those things that’s minor and I can look past though.

Hey, some of us are trying to do a huge server migration before we switch so that we can make sure all of our stuff is backed up properly.

I can’t wait to go back, especially since proton is so much better.

Hopefully my Nvidia card doesn’t suck too bad.

Sure, and there’s also an extension to install a web page as an app similar to Chrome. The point is that, out of the box, it lacks some features that I enjoy. Extensions are great and I use plenty of them, but that doesn’t mean that Firefox has those features, it just has extensions that have them.

Firefox is great, don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely preferring it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have all the features that I wanted up front.

I wasn’t a fan of Firefox either and personally lived using edge. When the whole web integrity thing started happening, I felt like I should switch to Firefox and haven’t looked back.

I still have some complaints, like you can’t install sites native app which I used a lot. I don’t think tab groups have been implemented yet, which isn’t a huge deal but very useful. And there were a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head. In the end I value my privacy a bit more so I’ve decided Firefox is worth it.

Plus mobile ad blocking is a god send.

In Pathfinder 1e, it mentions that high charisma can mean an attractive person. We know this can be true because my bard had a 36 cha (PF1e is broken lmao) and we all know it wasn’t his personality.

Interesting. I might have to get Jellyfin set up and run them simultaneously for a bit. Like I said my favorite Plex thing is Plexamp because it’s so clean and simple and I’d rather use a dedicated app for music instead of the main app.

I do like that it’s FOSS though, so that’s pretty great.

Is jellyfin that much better? I’ve seen people throw it around a lot and I’ve yet to try it. The big thing I like about Plex is Plexamp as a music app and it seems like Jellyfin lacks that for the time being.

I’m starting to switch over to Proton. I haven’t paid for it yet but my plan is to start paying and potentially grab usernames on other sites so I can have a consistent email across any site I decide to use.

I haven’t seen the last like 4 Marvel movies because they no longer interest me. I have been enjoying most of the shows, but it’s a bit less of a commitment to say “oh I’ll watch one of these episodes every now and then” instead of going to a theater and spending 3-4 hours there.

So yeah, I think most people are getting burned out. The latest movies haven’t been very good from what I’ve heard, the stories aren’t as fun, the new characters aren’t carrying as well as the old guard. Basically the same issue with Star Wars where the movies suck but the shows have been either really good or really bad.

My favorite part is that it’s super customizable, and specifically that it’s self-hosted. We ran into issues with Roll20 all the time where it would get super slow or something wasn’t working like you’d expect, especially inventory stuff.

I won’t say Foundry is perfect, but where the tool itself lacks, the fact that there are thousands of modules that can change functionality or add something cool is just amazing. Modules get made to add blood spatter, deal with terrain, add custom weather effects, add in items from 3rd party books, etc.

And like I said, self-hosting is a big win because we’re no longer reliant on someone else. Sure, if the host’s internet drops, we can’t play, but it’s only happened twice in two years of using it.

Not my favorite. He’s got a couple solid songs but the rest isn’t my jam. My style is more Death in the death metal genre, or Metallica in thrash.

I love death and thrash metal a lot. I can occasionally write some really solid riffs that I feel are representative of what I like normally.

However…

My best work is the simple acoustic stuff I write when I’m bored and don’t feel like plugging an amp in. I don’t even like the kind of music it ends up falling into normally, but I guess I can write it.

In our PF1e game where I play a ranged slayer, I track arrows. It made it way more interesting early on where I didn’t have any blunt arrows so I couldn’t hurt skeletons. Eventually, I put the money into durable arrows so after every encounter I don’t run away from, it’s assumed I have time to pick mine up.

I don’t mind it at all, though we play on FoundryVTT so it tracks it a lot easier.

The last time I pirated a game was for Freelancer. Couldn’t buy it anywhere except a CD and there was no guarantee it would work so I pirated it, it wasn’t what I expected, so I removed it.

I also downloaded a Halo CE crack for PC but I owned the physical disk and just used it to play with friends at a LAN party.

Otherwise there’s no reason to pirate anything gaming related, short of protest or something.

TV, movies and music are so hard to find. Lots of people will tell me “no just use Spotify”. No. Go try to listen to Turn the Page by Bob Seger, and not a live version. The only versions Spotify has are the live and the Metallica versions. Try to find Whitesnake’s Deep Purple cover album. I used to never pirate music because I could buy the few albums they didn’t have and upload them to Google music. Now, there’s no option for that. I’d rather have a smaller library with the music I want than a massive one that’s missing my favorites,

I think a drive like that is pretty much perfect. If their current usage is low enough that it’s still well above a consumer drive, then it would probably work.

Guess I can grab a couple of those and slot them in so I can start my server migration.

Yeah so for the actual data, it’ll all be HDDs. I’ve got a couple 8tbs I shucked from some EasyStores, got a 3rd WD Red and will be getting a 4th soon. So actual data is all gonna be stored there. This is specifically the OS/Programs stuff, which (and this may be my ignorance) I understand that I’d want to run Proxmox on the SSD. I just want them to be in a raid1 config here so that I have redundancy similar to the rest of the system, but I only need the one.

So yeah I’m just looking for what SSDs I should go for as my OS/Program drive, under the assumption I have to run Proxmox on that drive. If I’m mistaken then let me know, but that was my understanding. Like I said I’m somewhat new to self-hosting stuff so my current system is just Ubuntu for desktop that I pretend is a real server by SSHing into it with my desktop terminal.

The difference is that Dwarf Fortress only released on Steam because they had financial worries due to some health scares. They decided to release it on steam and charge for it but they wanted to deliver a major overhaul of the UI to justify selling it, even though people wanted to pay them for years.

DF has been in development for 20 years but it’s essentially a full game that they’ve been making better. Yeah it’s buggy (they simulate so goddamn much of course it’ll have bugs), but it’s at least a full experience that you can replay many times and never have the same experience.

Star Citizen does not deliver a full game, it’s just a glorified tech demo. It’s cool tech, but it’s not worth playing in my opinion.

Man I miss when we did live action trailers.

Go check out the ones for Halo 3: ODST back in the day. Shit was wild and got people super hype for a game release.

Live action trailers are just fun and I hope they do more.
