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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don’t have much to say on the game as my kitchen doesn’t have a view of the TV and I was cooking some chicken fried steak for some friends, but I heard that Gunnar and Rangel are both great this year and I’m hoping that we can somehow utilize both. In an ideal world, we’d have two all-star quarterbacks that can be slotted in and out when we need to.

It sounds like our defense was mid at best, our O-line is mid, and our special teams is still great. I’m hoping that the score here was just the first-game jitters and us trying out every player we had which would hurt the consistency. Hopefully, going forward we don’t have any issues and we win it all.

Unrelated note, I miss flairs from /r/CFB. I can’t tell if I should hate someone or not without them.

Well poop. I guess I misunderstood when people were talking about preloading, I thought they were saying everyone could do August 17th.

Thanks! I’ll update the post to show my dumbness.

So I know that the game can’t be played until the 30th, but the preload was supposed to go up on like, the 17th where I could download it and have it ready to go the moment it goes live.

My concern is that if I can’t preload, will I even be able to play on the 30th when the preorder access is supposed to go live?

I probably should have worded my post a little bit better.

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.

God I hate Xfinity. The other day I kept having my Internet go down and I thought it was my network switch but I could still see other devices, I thought it was the router but the router only noticed it after 30 seconds, and then I thought it was the modem until I saw in the app that there was an “outage” to my service.

I called them 3 times before someone finally stopped trying to blame me for using a 3rd party modem and that they had to fix something.

The day another company comes in and provides fiber, I’m out.

Every time I call one of my higher ups at work he’ll say something dumb like “Dominos pizza how can I help you” or “This is the product owner help line, no we can’t change your due dates”.

I generally get a chuckle out of it.

Last time he called me his therapist.

Yup. Buy CDs, vinyl or digital from Bandcamp or from the artist direct and then host it on Plex.

I’ve thought about trying jellyfin but Plexamp is just so nice that I don’t think I could leave it.
