CPColin posted:I'm 40 in five months and might take a year off to "pretire" because who knows if the world will be around when I'm actually at retirement age late 30s, I'm on a "six month" break from having a 9-5 that started in feb of 2021. gently caress is it difficult to make yourself go back to that bullshit after a taste of freedom.

Not exactly legal I don't think used to work for a startup that embraced remote really heavily. every single american doing the international nomad thing did so illegally on tourist visas. fairly certain at least one got a kickban from a southern european country over it.

InternetOfTwinks posted:Semi related question, how the hell do you meet people as an adult? I've got a decent friend group with my high school buddies, but they are all hundreds of miles away which imposes some limitations. Recovered alcoholic, so bars aren't the best idea, but that seems to be where most adults meet each other from what I've seen. board games. start frequenting your local game shop. feel free to substitute in pretty much any hobby, and the frequent gathering places for said hobby

cjs: good news: potential new employer just sent a "sexual misconduct declaration" form after checking references, so I'm pretty sure an offer is in the works bad news: stuck waiting to hear back from hr on how to accurately fill out a question on the sexual misconduct declaration form best part is, the question I'm stuck on is purely about whether I've ever worked for $typeOfOrganization in $locality before; nothing seemingly relevant to the rest of the declaration at all.

cjs: picking out all the things while onboarding new gig has a shocking level of flexibility, considering it's the central it division of one of the 20 largest universities in the us so far: * new manager gave a $2k budget for hardware and asked what I wanted * account onboarding flow allows users to choose between gapps and office365 I come from way smaller orgs but am accustom to these decisions being made further up the org chart.

some of the shady piracy services available these days are downright amazing. I use one that lets me upload .torrent files or paste in magnet links, and it spits out an https link for me to download the file once it's done. unless it's something obscure there is generally no wait and I can start the http download as soon as I've submitted the torrent file or magnet. even better, you can register the site as a handler for magnet urls, so most of my pirating is just clicking a magnet link, then clicking an http link on the page that pops up

KidDynamite posted:if i need to set up plex to stream to like ~5 connections at once what NAS should i get? i still pay for netflix because my wife's fam is on it and they use it often. i think plexin and ripping the physical media i buy is probably the way to go forward. depends on what formats you intend to store your media in, and what formats the clients are going to use. if everything matches up and you don't need to transcode, then something low end will likely do. at the other end of the spectrum, if you need to transcode 5 streams, you're going to want something that can hold a gpu

cjs: might have massively hosed up. requested a thinkpad instead of a macbook at the new gig, and am learning the day before I start that linux workstations might be verboten. apparently all PCs must run windows and be managed workstations, but had I gotten a mac I'd have been allowed to run it unmanaged.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:you know linux works on a MacBook too right you *can* but it's going to be far from a pleasant experience, especially after the arm transition. I mostly went with the Thinkpad because they offered the same model I run linux on personally, but my preferences are really linux on pc > osx on mac > windows on pc w/wsl > linux on mac.
