You could secure it in a number of ways, including the way you mention. Unfortunately, it seems like security is no ones top concern unless they are forced to handle it correctly.

As someone getting onboarded now, getting left to compete a toy project using the tech stack the new company uses is working out well. Blockers sometimes happen, so regular check in are appreciated. It also helps to ask questions you can&#x

I went down the rabbit hole of low TDP Xeon drives when I was last building a home FreeNAS box. It makes sense in theory to get a CPU that doesn't get as hot, so will need less cooling, but I think TDP is more about the total / ma

I have a T480 with Ubuntu 19.04 on and it works fine. I chose not to have a fingerprint reader or card reader, so I can't tell you if they work, but as a work laptop it's build very well and I can see another 3 years of life at le

In the UK we have ITJobsWatch[0] that seems to aggregate all the public job listings and organises by key word. It should give an idea of what the average person in that job is earning in each area, along with other correlated skills you mi

I also self host this with docker using a docker postgres backend to persist data and another container to dump, encrypt and upload to S3. You can also set it to store images and attachments in the database too which makes it easy to back u

I went down this route in the past using things like https://jsonresume.org/ and even latex to create lovely PDF outputs. The thing is, most people want the least friction in viewing your Resume/CV and the best results

The difference is so high inside of London compared to an hours train away that it's not even on my radar any more to even look for jobs in the UK outside of London. I sat a jump of 2/3rds in salary when moving to london.

Does Gitea still not have a good mechanism for backup and restore? I wanted to move away from Gogs but this is a show stopper for me.

This is exactly what I do with PfSense. I run multiple services from home, so get PfSense to keep a Route 53 address of home.<domain>.com updated to point to my home IP, then create CNAMEs for each service that point to that home reco

I agree that i3 and tmux features overlap a lot. I tend to use 4 desktops usually, then throw terminals I'm not using into the 4+ desktops. I've never liked detaching sessions, I always forget about them. As for remembering keybin

I think people confuse equality of opportunity with equality of outcome. I think it's totally normal to expect some types of people to favour working in some jobs. I'd expect more younger people to work for startups, for example.

Thanks for the recommendation. I forgot to mention I only run linux, I don't want to be tied into an OS like ChromeOS when I don't have direct control over it. I have considered wiping one and installing linux over the top.
