Same, stuck on the last hazard 4 ahhh

X11 has been mostly solid for me. Wonder if Wayland would be worth messing with.

Windscribe…had it for a few years now and seems fine. I’ll probably look into proton or mulvad when my subscription runs out, but I’d re-up if I find another subscription deal.

I don’t think it clicked big time until about 10 hours in for me. I feel like I’m finally mastering it at 40 hours, but I’m sure I haven’t discovered every play style yet.

Won’t people just continue using the app? Wouldn’t it be as easy as side loading future installs?

I like mint. Everyone says it beginner friendly, like in a bad way, but stuff just working sounds good to me.

Even further what’s the point? It’s been ruled (usa) that an IP address doesn’t equal a person. https://www.techspot.com/news/76190-us-court-appeals-ip-address-isnt-enough-identify.html

The arm macs are really fast and the battery life is great. With that said I’m not shelling out for one. I’ll gladly take one if my job pays for it.

I like Jellyfin quite a bit better. The UI is less cluttered and the controls make more sense. It also doesn’t phone home like plex. I do keep plex running beside it for my dad and sister. Plex has way better device support.

Oh, sorry haven’t tried proxies. Just scraping a single site.

Not 100% sure if this is helpful, but here is what I’m importing and a snippet initiating webdriver. Sorry on mobile. The hardest part was getting the right chromium installed and getting the path right. I believe this is the one I used. sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC


driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")```

I’ve thought about this a lot as well. Really the hiring process is just so goofy and feels so negative. I try not to let being passed by get to me, and try to learn from it all. For example, my last technical interviewer really hammered away the sql questions. I did ok, but realized I really need to brush up on it. Maybe work on some practice projects involving it. Lastly, I’ve given up entirely on the big leagues (faang, etc). It just is what it is. Even some of the mid level tech companies may be out of reach for some time for me.

The don’t know what I don’t know feeling happens a lot. I’ve been trying to learn basic CS and dabble with C. It has helped a bit opening up my mind.

I’ve been trying out linux gaming annually. With the steam deck out it proton has become super good. I think my gaming pc is finally going to stay on linux this time around. Oh anti cheat has support now too. Just got done playing a few round of halo mcc.

tide goes in tide goes out, you can’t explain that!

Torrents… Fast, free, and easy

Seems like Mulvad gets a lot of love on here and reddit. Being able to pay anonymously is pretty cool. I use Windscribe and like it a lot. They have an annual sale that is dirt cheap. PIA used to get a lot of love until they were bought out a few years back.

Wow, I didn’t know this was a thing. It works really well.
