What are some things we should have on our resume?
  • 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.

  • How to Delete Your 23andMe Data.
  • They've been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.

    I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.

    Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don't know what to do with. Not like I'll upload it again but it's just files I have with no purpose now.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April
  • 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.

  • Probably a dumb question but about tonights (or last night) lunar eclipse.
  • This is the answer. The moon is passing through phases as it orbits and isn't perfectly aligned so there will always be shading and color variations.

    I'm posting this video because they animate the different types of eclipse and also explain why it's red. So now it's just understanding that everyone's view is always "off to the side" so there is a gradient of color and brightness.

  • Universe Today rebuild their website fresh and ad-free
  • I wasn't a super active website user, and just followed in YouTube but after I watched the video, I did two things.

    First, I tested my backup/restore on my truenas.

    Second, I joined the patreon and probably stick around for a bit. Everything good seems to ask me for money, and it's exhausting but at the same time it's $36 a year and I just won't buy something I don't really need at Costco this month and it's covered.

  • Matthew McConaughey: ‘True Detective’ Season 1 Was ‘One of the Great Events in TV’ History
  • It is entirely possible I am remembering it more fondly than it deserves but I don't remember thinking it was garbage at the time. There's enough reviews of everything everywhere, so I'm not attempting to give one.

    Season 1 is something I enjoyed a lot though.

  • Matthew McConaughey: ‘True Detective’ Season 1 Was ‘One of the Great Events in TV’ History
  • The other seasons were okay, actually they were good compared to most other shows and I love how each season is its own unique story unrelated to other seasons. I think order could go, season 1, season 4 and then 2 and 3.

    Season 1 is on another level though, just an incredible watch.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread
  • 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.

  • Jason Statham Returns for 'The Beekeeper 2'
  • It wasn't even a good revenge story. It felt like no one was important and honestly I haven't seen it since release and can't remember much else.

    That being said, I'll probably watch the second one and see how many bee puns they can fit in it.

  • Which board games have you been playing this week? (17 Feb)
  • Played Little Secrets with 3 other adults and then later with 2 additional teenage children. Super fun game, easy to learn, easy to play and was a lot of laughing.

    Made by the same people as exploding kittens.

    Also for context we play games every weekend, some intense and some relaxed. This is a relaxed game for end of the night or when the group is a little tired but wants to play something without a lot of rules.

  • Section 31 Is Now the Lowest-Rated Star Trek Project on Rotten Tomatoes
  • Honestly it's a movie about stuff and occasionally has some star trek sounds and maybe some music once in a while.

    It has very little that makes it star trek in any sense.

    The equivalent is Ford 150 branded deodorant stick. It's technically labeled as if it has something to do with Ford trucks, but it's deodorant for your arm pits.

    Add all the other issues with the movie on top of this starting point.

  • Recommendations for eBook reader devices, please
  • I don't have experience with any readers until recently. Did some research and went with. Kobo colour. It has met expectations and I'm using it with no issue.

    I wanted physical buttons.

    I didn't want an Amazon device.

  • I just finished watching Voyager... again
  • 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!

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?
  • My server is exactly as I need. Basically 1 year old now. This year I really want to do vlans to control the network more than an off the shelf router. I work in tech and still am struggling because all I know is meraki bullshit and that's not priced for the typical home user.

    I'll need a few AP's and a switch and firewall. I don't know what to get or what to buy and each research session ends with more options than I started with. Anyway that's my goal. I'll get there eventually.

    Q The Misanthrope @startrek.website

    I like to call it a significant career change.
