  See if your ISP can set their router to bridged mode, then you should be able to use your own while plugged into their equipment. It will turn all the functionality off on it so you won’t be doubled natted and traffic should flow properly.

  You’ve been looking for work for 3 years? Have you been out of work for 3 years? If you’ve been out of work for 3 years, what type of tech do you do?

  Infrastructure? Administrator? Developer? Security?

  Have any certifications? HR likes to see those even if they are basic ones.

  Since it’s been 3 years, have you been keeping your skills up to date? Tech changes so rapidly, take for example, I completed my AZ-305 2 years ago, since then I’ve had to renew twice and each time the test has new stuff. Azure tech changes constantly.

  My current position is Senior Consultant, I got it by leaving a different position and contracting for a few years. A big consulting firm scooped me up on my second contract.

  I’d be hesitant to run it at your own house. While you can use a cloudflare tunnel, I’d never expose anything in my home network to the outside.

  Digital ocean is cheap, there’s another called hetzner which looks also pretty cheap. So you start will rent 1 core VPS for 5 bucks, it’s enough to run your own instance but not really enough to host any communities.

  I have a garmin epix 2, best Damn watch ever. It lasts roughly 2 weeks on a charge. All the same features as the Fenix but OLED display.

  Overseer monitors the watch list (or you can directly request from the portal) and then goes to either sonarr or radarr and adds them. Useful if you have some users you share your library out to and you want to let them request stuff. There’s also an approval system so your storage doesn’t get filled up by crap.

  Add overseer in the mix and you’ve got it made. I have overseer watching my plex watch list, so when I add something, in a few minutes it’s available to watch. It helps having a 1gb pipe as well.

  I am really lately hating my android phone and the targeted ads disguised as “Article I might be interested in” in the google now section of my phone.

  I’m tempted to switch to an iphone but I realize the same problems exist over there too. We need a new mobileOS…with blackjack
