I use this https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Oh that carpet is going to be definitively dirtier afterwards lol.

You could always dual boot on Linux 😁

You could try with homebrew to install some software, but the apple ID I’m afraid is a requirement. Use company email with company phone number.

Yeah, use a company phone

Technically speaking, no. But more polite, I agree

Just as a test, can you try ubuntu? It looks like you tried “enterprise” distros, may be worth with a more generic one, maybe they have a different set drivers.

Also, can you try running lspci command, maybe it shows any devices it doesn’t recognize (so you can investigate those specifically). Pretty sure there is also a gui app about drivers, but I’m not familiar with kde.

Do they make 55" OLED monitors? Only stuff I’ve seen is LED, and I’m pretty sure the picture/color quality is inferior to proper tv panel

Well I’m already a bad programmer, at least I save time /j

linux is easy… to break things. But look at all the amazing things you’ll learn recovering from that!

The pain will pass and the endorphines will be amazing. I should know, I’ve been in similar shit way too many times.

Seems to me the whole argument boils down to “they (the passkeys) are generally saved in proprietary non-communicating stores”, which is fair. But then the problem is not the passkey, it’s the fact that we (as usual) give all our stuff to corps. It’s the eternal struggle of easy of use vs. better security.

I host my own vaultwarden btw 😊

It took me a week to get working ipv6, don’t despair. I don’t have time now to post my config (I’m on opnsense too), will do tomorrow 🙂

Well glad to see you didn’t need help in the end! 🙂 great job!

Linux is the family, you’re just meeting different people at the different spots of the buffet

There is so much old and creaky stuff lying around and people have no idea what it does. Beige boxes in a cabinet that when we had to decommission it the only way to understand what it does was doing the scream test: turn it off and see who screams!

Or even stuff that was deployed as IaC by an engineer but then they left and so was managed “clickOps”, but documentation never updated.

When people talk about the Tier1 systems they often forget the peripheral stuff required to make them work. Sure the super mega shiny ERP system is clustered, with FT and DR, backups off site etc. But it talks to the rest of the world through an internal smtp server running on a Linux box under the stairs connected to a single consumer grade switch (I’ve seen this. Dust bunnies were almost sentient lol).

Everyone wants the new shiny stuff but nobody wants to take care of the old stuff.

Or they say “oh we need a new VM quickly, we’ll install the old way and then migrate to a container in the cloud”. And guess what, it never happens.

As @candyman337@sh.itjust.works said, use a recruiter/agency. Post your CV to indeed and reed. It depends also where you are, in EU the job boards are different than US I guess. Speaking of LinkedIn, have you posted a message saying “hello world, I’m open to work and I’ve experience at this $stuff”, and then ask your friends to share it. I got a couple of contacts that way.

Also, look for a resume builder/parser. Quick search gave me https://www.open-resume.com/ https://noted.lol/open-resume/

Pretty much everyone uses a CV parser when you apply, so if your is not formatted properly it’s properly one of the reasons you get rejected. Another reason is that probably they recognize you are above what they need, so they know that a) you’d be expensive and b) probably get bored fast and leave. Put stuff you have experience with, specifying what your experience is, what your contributions were to the project etc. Saying “5 years of experience on $language” is not very meaningful. Writing “I created a Perl program to import data from Word docs to a MySQL DB, optimizing the code to use no explicit variables” (true story btw) is better. Or most likely “worked on $project for $industry, implementing $modules and enforcing $best_practice, collaborating with the wider team and helping mentoring other junior developers”. Don’t forget to mention non-technical skills. Companies look for someone whom is nice to work with more than someone who knows everything. A guru that alienates people is less worthy than someone that maybe don’t know everything (and admits it) but can talk to others.

Re: time wasters. Holy shit 8 round of interviews! Even MS and AWS are less than that! MS was the biggest in my experience with 5 (but tbh it was all in a day, so not a horrible drawn out process, just different people). But you can ask at the beginning when speaking with the hiring manager what’s the process, and you can decide if it’s something you want to spend time on or nah.

Best of luck and don’t be discouraged! I had a 3 months dry spell once, applying every day to multiple roles and being rejected. It’s part of the game I’m afraid. Venting helps. Not getting a job immediately is not a failure in your part.

Best of luck!

It depends on the client and the security implementations they support. For example IIRC no client support the last version of OMEMO (I think it was about OMEMO, I remember an article about it some time ago). Also are you sure that all the other people’s clients are on the same version and you’re not susceptible to a downgrade attack?

Unless you are ready to/want to control the whole environment (i.e. at least the clients and possibly the server), look into simplex.chat

Simplex.chat is the current best one AFAIK

Hum, what’s the use case exactly? Two or more people controlling the same desktop at the same time seems really frustrating…

Simplex.chat

No identifiers, pfp, FOSS, can route through tor.

Or host your own matrix or xmpp server.

I suspect it’s the latter because with my (chinese knock off) xbox360 controller I can map all of them.

What if you install retropie or mame on your pc and try to map it here? Maybe it’s a driver issue

First questio is: can you ask your home internet provider for ipv6?

Otherwise sign up to tailscale and connect your vps server (and your pc/devices) to it.
