Hi guys, I work for my day job as a Linux sysadmin so I’m used to building and working on observably platforms.

Recently I realised there’s a potential blind spot and I should see about extracting the same metrics from my gaming pc. I don’t want anything too fancy to start out with but before I do I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on what works best for windows? My initial plan was to deploy Prometheus node exporter and build out a custom dashboard mainly just for the fun and experience

Hi guys I’m in the market for a new set of keycaps for my K10 board since the ones it ships with don’t have backlight shine through and since I’ve used it daily for work for nearly 3 years now they’ve worn smooth! I’m basically after a uk layout set of keycaps that allow the backlight to shite
Through. I don’t have a huge preference over colour as long as it’s similar to the generic one the board ships with. Thanks

Has anyone else got really nervous about the idea of changing jobs?

I’ve been offered a new job that not only pays more than my current one but also offers better training, more flexibility and best of all hybrid working with the office also being much closer to home.

But there’s still that feeling of “what if I make the wrong decision?” Ive got comfortable with the people, systems and routines I know, and even if the job isn’t quite where I want to be, there’s something comfortable about knowing what you’re walking into every morning.

I appreciate this sounds like a really basic question but I’m just taking my first steps into the property world and booking some viewings of houses I’d like to potentially buy. I’ve been tracking my expenses as is the old fashioned way by keeping receipts, tracking my statements and staying on top of any unexpected expenses as much as I can.

This obviously isn’t going to cut it especially since I’ll have a mortgage to be staying on top of instead of a modest rent payment every month.

I’m aware that there are budget tracking spreadsheet templates out there but does anyone have some advice on doing this as a FTB? My spreadsheet game sucks

I often hear my parents talking about how much they worry about me since I’m in my 30s and don’t have any friends, siblings or a girlfriend. I’ve only ever been on one date (my friend asked one of his coworkers friends to go out with me as a pity “blind” date). It really makes me sad that I can’t even make my parents proud and they’re likely to reach old age never seeing grandchildren or even me getting married. I yearn for a life I’ll never live.

I hate the fact that despite being in my 30s my only romantic experience was a single date that my friend set me up with 10 years ago when I was at university. He felt bad for me so asked a coworker of his to go for a drink with me. I’m grateful he did but man is it sad…

Obviously yes you can google boobies and see 3000 pairs of nice ones but I’m talking about IRL offline in a purely sexual context? Amongst the many depressing aspects of never having a girlfriend in my 30s, I’ve realised that I’ve never even seen a naked woman in real life or had any sexual contact with one. Damn… it’s not even about satisfying my “urges” like I feel this is a fairly normal thing that most average guys have realised by the time they’re the same age as me, no?

I joined my company as a junior Linux engineer and started 3 major infrastructure projects with one of the senior engineers. He was also assigned to be my workplace buddy and we really hit it off, I made a lot of progress and over the last 2 years I’ve been here I’ve learnt so much stuff from him. All this came crashing down when he suddenly left the company about a month ago which has left me unable to continue my projects, not least because he was the lead implementor but I don’t have the time or knowledge to do 3 major projects unassisted in a junior position on top of my other work and without any formal training.

I had a meeting with my boss yesterday where he basically told me to suck it up since nobody else on the team has the time to help or supervise me and he refused to answer if I could look around to try and find a mentor to guide me. In a month I’ve lost both my project supervisor and my workplace mentor. I’m at a total loss and I’m not Getting the support I need.

After years of using this extension they’ve finally switched to an AI infused subscription model. Are there any alternatives to this extension? Thanks

Basically title. I’ve got 2 years experience in Linux system administration as well as a bachelors and PhD in mathematics. I was initially getting callbacks and interviews but the last few months have really slumped and I think the problem is my CV. I’ve done some googling and I found there are companies which can help draft or proofread one but they’re charging a fair whack and I’m not comfortable paying for a sight unseen service. Is there any free way to refine my CV? Thanks

I recently took an interest in physics and I’d really like to learn more about the history of general relativity. I’ve read a few of the usual recommendations by hawking but I was hoping to dig deeper and learn more about how Einstein devised theories and what the implications are. Does anyone have some suggestions? Thanks!

As someone who’s spent a lot of time in Edinburgh and has relatives up there: good to see some very nice shots of the buildings and surrounding areas.

I think from watching the first 3 episodes it’s a very good series but my main criticisms are the slight Americanisms in some of the dialogue and maybe that they’ve made Carl possibly too abrasive for my taste. I get that they needed to quickly introduce him as the battered traumatised street hardened cop but meh.

Still, pretty good watch and I’ll definitely be finishing this series!

If you want a true 10/10 series I can suggest Legends. That was brilliant in my opinion so if you have some suggestions like that then please drop them!

I'm looking for some advice on how to navigate job hunt burnout and figure out what my blind spots are.

Over the last month, I've applied for about 50 positions. I am targeting roles that match my current responsibilities or are a slight step up, strictly within the industry I've worked in for the last 3 years.

My background:

1. PhD in the relevant field

2. Industry-recognized certifications

3. 3 years of hands-on experience

Despite this, my rejection rate is sitting well over 50%, and the rest have entirely ghosted me. I haven't secured a single interview.

I have no idea what to do next because I can't identify where the bottleneck is. Has anyone been in a similar rut? How do you figure out why you aren't getting past the initial screen?

I saw you can get CV reviews but they start at like £100 and I’m reluctant to splash that much cash. Thanks

I’m looking for a new job at the moment and over the last month I’ve applied for 50 positions all around or slightly higher than my current responsibilities and all within the same industry I’ve been working in for the last 3 years. Despite having certifications, a PhD in the field I work in and 3 years hands on experience I’ve been rejected by well over 50% of the roles I’ve looked at with probably another percent who’ve outright ghosted me.

I have no idea what to do because I can’t identify what the problem is and why I can’t get interviews.
