Being excited about buying a nice cooler to go camping with

Well not anything too crazy, just it can defin be a situation where people like him more and it feeds into his “ Trump vs everyone else” rhetoric.

At the end of the day, this will be a very interesting part of the historical timeline. So I would not be surprised if this year or one the subsequent ones turns out to be as turbulent as 1968.

Yeah I’m not looking forward to the ripple effect of this shooting

I had not thought of the w2 vs 1099 thing but I will bring that up to them.

Hands down the experience in that environment is what’s attracting me the most of everything other than the pay raise.

Yeah the recruiter mis communicated it. But the company itself brought it up first thing in the interview before. I actually interviewed last month but was scared of the contract . Now they reached out to me again and I figured I’d at least take th interview as practice.

After thinking and looking at my finances I could prolly be safe if the contract ends quickly.

She could configure linux from scratch

It seems like they gave a bunch of people a notice to find new jobs as a form of promotion

Enjoy it! I’m on mine next week!

I see, that honestly sounds like a pretty natural way get into IT. I have basically had a computer since I was in kindergarten and one parent had a MacBook while I had a windows computer. I am thankful for that because I’ve noticed that I’ve always been a bit more savvy than average people. Hearing stories like yours definitely makes me confident that I can still get really far without a CS degree.

Thankfully I’ve kept in good touch with all my past colleagues so hopefully it will work for me like it did with you.

I’ve been looking into forming a team with my friend who is also in IT. While they may not go on a resume, I was considering putting them on a personal portfolio website.

How’d you get into IT? I feel like my path into computer work has been a bit unorthodox. I have a political science degree but no college experience with cs just otj experience. It feels like having my background definitely helps on the soft skills just may be a bit of hindrance compared to those with cs degrees.

That’s a bit of my thought maybe just get the big three and then practice more practical skills for a while. I’ll definitely have to convince my boys to pay for some of those certs the net+ does translate a ton into my current position.

The homelab will have to wait until I settle in to my new place with an office.

Yeah that’s kind of what I have been doing, I have been trying to do things focused on networking and trying to understand cinema servers since many use a form of Linux. Though Microsoft skills always seem to be some of the most popular

Wanna help there’s always memes in numbers

I need out over weightlifting and computers with my family at all times.

I’m excited for this too. I had to begrudgingly switch to apple due to family but now that I can emulate I may stay

I got it off of Amazon, it may just be a demo OS. I’ll have to check the specs further. I’ll try flashing it and see what I can change around.

So am I understanding correctly that this code wasn’t exactly handled as a normal team? Like XZ had one person vetting the replacement?

So I first saw this picture and thought Baxter had the same face as my chihuahua. Then I read his story and I cried and found it to be similar. My dog was a bit neglected by previous owners and he is a senior chihuahua. After this experience I can now say. Chihuahuas are ground bats.

Yeah they sometimes get touted as that
