Holy fucking pretentious douche, batman! Catch my block list.

100% building a home lab and being able to talk about it openly, from memory, in your own words, from experience, is invaluable for interviews.

I might update this. I might not. I have a lot to say but In out drinking.

All I will say now is save this list. You'll look back at it in 5 years and wonder what half of those things are.

...

Okay a bit more from the bar:

If you want dev sec ops, grafana, elk, build dashboards, get your agents setup in your fleet, get it all secure locally. That alone will impress any interviewer who knows anything.

Dev ops specifically? Focus on building a local GitLab instance. Use grafana to monitor it. Run some app that has a busy db. Grafana dashboards on that. Oh my goodness, what a HOG you are GitLab! Tune it for your env. Purposely misconfigure something to watch, idk, the RAM keep growing because you didn't setup redis or some shit.

The sea is vast. You're hungry. Employers will see that once you land interviews.

If you want a ton of dev sec ops ideas, I am a good sounding board. Regular dev ops isn't my daily grind so I know a bit less. What I do know is if you're not ready to rebuild a multi node cluster some night after hours, you're not quite a boss (doesn't mean you're not ready). So, emulate that nightmare.

Back to drinking 🍻

Edit: double check your *arr ideas bc afaik most of those were abandoned after a few major vulns were uncovered. That was months ago so that may be old hat.

Forgot holy diver in my list, that cover is excellent 🤘

With in flames vocals you either get quiet whispered fries or high fry screams.

It's what I expected. I can see why it never made it to a record, but it's what an in flames fan would expect of an In Flames cover of Hurt 🤷‍♂️.

Woah, soulseek

I haven't used soulseek in literally 20 years... Is it still a relevant place to get music?

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Honestly, barely.

I would bet significantly less than 1% of that 23% are better off in 2026 than they were in 2024-2025

Just here to brag that when my dad upgraded to windows 11, he was tricked into making a microsoft365 acct which was promptly compromised.

So I walked him through the process of downloading a Linux mint iso, checking the hash in powershell, downloading rufus, prepping install media, and getting him off windows for the remainder of his life.

I had no eyes on the situation. All over the phone. His browser was giving malware results for everything so no downloads could be trusted.

2 years on his only complaint is occasional printer problems. He's in his 70s.

I think this means if you're in those states, you should exercise your second amendment right while you exercise your right to vote. I can't interpret this any other way...?

My gf and I both make good money. Granted we actually put away a chunk for retirement and we used to be saving for a house...

Recently her brakes needed to be replaced after I had to get new tires. Suddenly we're eating a lot more beans, cancelling Netflix...

I don't know what folks are doing because my last lifeline is ceasing retirement contributions to make ends meet or getting an additional job. Or just pushing overtime until my boss asks questions.

It's wild.

So, a note. There's two kinds of covers. Covers where the band tried to do exactly what the band they're covering did. And covers where bands made it their own.

If you want a whole album of some excellent examples of the former, look no further than BTBAM's "The Anatomy Of". Whole album is covers.

If you want the latter... What comes to mind is Children of Bodom. They did like 30+ covers that metal fans love. Off the top of my head:

Children of Bodom - Hellion (W.A.S.P)

Children of Bodom - Oops I did it again. (Brittney Spears)

Children Of Bodom - Somebody Put Something In My Drink (Ramones)

Then we got

In flames - Everything Counts (Depeche Mode)

In Flames - Hurt (Trent Reznor)

I'll keep updating this. More are coming to mind.

System of a down - Snowblind (Black Sabbath)

Shadows Fall - Bark at the moon (Black Sabbath)

Dark Tranquillity - Acacia Avenue (Iron Maiden)

Soilwork - Burn (Deep Purple)

Ooh, just remembered:

Avenged Sevenfold - Retrovertigo (Mr. Bungle)

A bakery in Conway NH is suing the town after being told their mural violates advertising signage laws. It seems the sign just has pastries and doesn't otherwise advertise the business, so they're calling it art and arguing it should stay. The town disagrees so they're going to court over it.

The bakery is suing the town for $1, and permission to keep the kids mural up.

This is a small business fighting to keep kids art on display. Suing for $1 is a way to signal that are willing to do this at a financial loss, and that the display isn't a means of enriching themselves but rather their community.

I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.

I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.

Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.

The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.

This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.

There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.

Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.

There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.

In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.

Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.

Acceptable range of answers:

"I mix mustard with mayo"

to

"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"

Bonus: what's it best on?

This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.

To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.

If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

Worse and worse (lemmy.world)

Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?

I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.

Am I alone?

Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.

This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.

If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.

But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

voting buttons bug (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by foggy@lemmy.world to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.

It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.
