Bluetooth on Linux fucking sucks

As a counter balance to that though, interviewers need to understand what they are hiring for and tailor the questions asked to those requirements.

For example, there is genuinely very little coding required of an SRE these days but EVERY job interview wants you to do some leetcode style algorithm design.. Since containers took over, the times I have used anything beyond relatively unremarkable bash scripts is exceptionally small. It's extremely unlikely that I will be responsible for a task that is so dependent on performance that I need to design a perfect O(1) algorithm. On terraform though, I'm a fucking surgeon.

SRE specifically should HEAVILY focus on system design and almost all other things should have much much less priority.. I've failed plenty of skill assessments just because of the code though.

Meetup.com is how you get to know people in Tokyo. I lived there for a few years and this was extremely popular.

I use Resilio Sync. It uses a modified bittorrent protocol. You don't need to open any firewall ports or anything like that.. Really simple to get going.

This is a sync took though. Replication is not the same as backups. This may or may not be for you depending on the goals.

Agreed. When I first heard about this it seemed exactly like a rehash of 90s era websites that tried to imitate a real place.. Like you would click on the doors to go into the book store or click on the mailbox to send an email.. It was lame then and its still lame now.

100% agreed. I left the States in 2017. Job searching is tricky now but it's an absolute deal breaker.. Remote or goodbye. I will accept nothing else.

There are build instructions in the readme. What's stopping you?

There's no one answer here. It's going to take a lot of trial and error and experimenting. All of the issues you mention are going to have to be addressed individually as well. There is never going to be a single tool to do this for you.

As far as tracking state over time, standing up a proper, modern monitoring stack will help tremendously. If you send logs to loki, collect metrics with Prometheus or OpenTelemetry, and graph them both with grafana, you should have really great insights to whatever is happening.. It's never going to be finished though. It's always a work in progress.

SemVer seems logical. If most of your changes are breaking, I don't think it really matters if you are releasing often or occasionally though.. If it's often, the users will get fatigued with upgrades. If it's occasionally, they'll be overwhelmed and push it off.

If most of your changes are breaking, you should just disclose that the software is in an alpha/beta state and that it can't be depended on to remain consistent until you have a defined policy about what gets released and when. It will be up to the users to decide if they are comfortable with those terms.

I have an M1 mbp for work and its honestly unbelievable. It's one of the nicest machines I've owned in years. The chip is a huge part of it.

Agreed. I left just shy of 7 years ago. It's got to the point where American problems don't feel like my problems anymore. To say I have given up would be a stretch.. I still follow the news and vote because I want to do whatever little I can to help the people I care about who still live there. It's otherwise hard to stay engaged when it feels so bleak.

Talking to the girlfriend, we kinda both agree that we would never move there full time.. At most maybe a 1 month vacation. Even from "third world" countries I feel like I live a better life than most of the people I have left behind. It kinda breaks my heart knowing they could do so much better. Oh well.
