• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thing is: there’s lots of vacant jobs in IT because of the unwillingness of adequate pay in Germany. Either the employers don’t see the value in hiring motivated people or the motivated people are unwilling to work for peanuts.

  Entry level in Berlin was like ~36k for IHK Fachinformatiker für system integration. As a result my last company started to hire in Eastern Europe because no one could afford to live on that even in one of the cheapest cities. And it wasn’t a small company by a long shot. Just greedy bastards

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Setting up a server for a research team. What should be in my checklist?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What you describe is a workstation under someone’s desk. Usually when you connect to your campus vpn you should be on the network and be able to reach most things.

  The problem is who is gonna manage it when you are gone? I’ve had teams come and ask to get their trash can Mac’s rescued because whoever managed them left the team. How are you going to do backups? Are you gonna put a NAS next to it? Or actually use the tape drives that ITS can provide?

  Ask your local research computing group what this team needs to do to host or contribute an actual server. A Mac mini is a consumer product, research grants can I include hardware, your computing group has actual racks and people who know how to manage it.

  If something like 911 happens again you’d find out anyway, just an hour later that you would now.

  I’m not being paid to care about all that benign bullshit so I don’t anymore

  What I realized way too late is that my parents are human and humans are inherently stupid. They got their fucked up understanding of how relationships should work from their fucked up parents. You are an adult and you can make your own independent decisions, don’t let anyone power play you into feeling like an obedient child.

  Some people are only meant to be together for so long and if the outcome of that relationship is you then it was worth it? Now move on and do something you like
