I think it kind of depends on your career up until that point. I have a lot of certifications and work experience. I list my past jobs, bullet point out my accomplishments. There is no about me section, or paragraphs. It's bullet points and a section for clubs, volunteer work, certifications and school.

If you have less experience then you may want to do schooling first, with projects and accomplishments, clubs, etc and then any work experience.

The idea is be truthful, but not modest. This is what you are capable of, tell them. I completed project a for b reason by doing c things which resulted in d success. Define those variables over and over again.

I want to switch to jellyfin, I selfhost but I don't want to open a port directly to my server. I don't understand how everyone else figures this out and I'm apparently an idiot.

Also do people expect all who use my server to start a VPN each time? What if they leave it on and their other streaming services are using my bandwidth.

I don't understand and I have looked it up but I don't see a consensus.

I've had two failed harddrives in the last month. Not sure if bad batch or what. Thankfully the order these were on only were the two drives so may not see more. They are under warranty but it's still a pain!

Otherwise I'm enjoying Mealie lately for my recipes. Kinda nice having them all in one place but accessible by anyone in the house.

I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.

Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.

If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it's the topic, or my mood, or life.

Enjoy tng again!

I try to always remember People, process and product. PPP. It helps remind me that the people are just like you and I, families and waking up each day to do a job. It's so easy for things to fall apart when there aren't the right tools or processes in place. My failures individually or as a team never left someone in outer space but I've had some doozies in my career.

This isn't addressing your comment but I guess it was on my mind. I do know that the majority of people want to do their best and I feel bad for them and those affected by a company's poor decisions.

Sorry I wasn't clear.

Fallout 4 is beloved and buggy as hell. Cyberpunk was buggy, and still has bugs but is completely playable over and over again and with my hundreds of hours, I haven't run into any game killing glitches.

Curiosity got the better of me and I did try to video link in the article but it's dead.

Edit: found it, nothing to see, potato quality and for all I know it could be literally anyone.

I really tried, a few times and I just can't make it exciting. I find it so boring to search for people and tags I wantto follow. That said, I wasn't a huge Twitter user before, and i don't have bluesky. I'm just hoping one day, mastodon clicks with me.

The headline is click bait imo but the article makes a somewhat valid point about the larger use of animal products in everything. The article lists paper money in the UK as an example so a vegan is essentially unable to use paper money without conflicting with their ideals.

I would say the point of articles like this is a reasonable way to bring awareness of how ubiquitous animal products are in everyday items.

I think it's a valid topic with a headline written by marketing (and their 696 "partners") and an article written by someone with a point to make.

At the end of the day, everything is just atoms moving at different wiggle rates, that's the technical term. It doesn't matter what makes them wiggle faster or slower.

My Garmin Fenix watch, it was during the first month of wearing it that I realized my life and fitness can be like a video game and I get badges and points for doing things. It drives me to move and even after 4 years, it still is making me motivated.

A nice wallet, I looked for a long time and ended up with a Trayvax wallet. I just love the damn thing, it'll last me forever and it's unique and functional. Each time I pull it out of my pocket, I appreciate it's look and feel and form.

My osprey back pack. I've carried it to and from work, on boats, kayaks, walking, for camping and to my friends houses. It is just so functional and comfortable in a way that a less expensive one isn't. It's made to be comfortable AND hold things.
