So I am in the process of making my gaming desktop a Windows gaming server, running sunshine. That way I can stream games anywhere in my house. So far so good, with tests, I'm getting 0 latency on my phones moonlight... Latency on the shield is like down to 1-2ms. I have bigger problem with my AVR and TV giving display lag, but that's a whole other issue.

My main issue now, is if I want to stream to the shield, I need the controller to be paired to the desktop, instead of the shield.

I used a 8bitdo ultimate & ultimate 2 wireless, and the SNES one with handles. They all pair to the shield with BT. The singles do not connect, and the controller is just left looking for a connection.... When I do BT, the input is delayed, than spams. Or even sometimes doubles, like 1 press is 2 presses, or 5 downs is like 1..2..3..4567. making the game unplayable...

So what are ppl using for controllers for the shield? Does anyone have the 8bitdo working? I'd prefer to just use the 8bitdo on BT.

The gran scheme is that my framework 13 pro laptop gets here in September, and all my gaming will mostly be streamed to the laptop or shield, or steam deck.

First, I get like 5 calls a day from what sounds like a call center, from people I cannot understand, requesting my resume for a contract position....Just kinda feels like its not legitimate..... So I am ignoring these. Usually they are Indian, and I can hear like 5 other people in the background. Are these people legitimate?

Im kinda looking for junior to mid level and can't get a call back from a traditional apply, through linkedin, indeed, dice, monster, and I apply directly on the company website when possible.

I built my resume from code, using json for data, and have been modifying it as best I can to fit ATS standards, and hitting keywords....

My experience level, is weird. Im self taught, but built secure k3s cluster in my homelab. Using Proxmox, Terraform to provision the machines, Ansible to configure them with UFW, setup HashiCorp Vault, and ArgoCD, along with GitHub Actions and a selfhosted runner. This than allows for me to use tools like helm, kubectl, and argocd to setup gitops. I built this myself, just me, the docs, and some AI for questions I had. Additionally I built a OpenWRT router, and a secure network, segmented. Everything is accesible through my traefik instance in K3s, all using HTTPS.

However, my professional experience is in a awkward spot. I spent 10 years in Field Service, servicing hardware PoS systems. I currently spend 2 days a week with the Software Dev team at my company, while being paid as a Field service tech. I administer 150+ Windows and Linux machines, mostly windows. Mostly using powershell. I am automating their systems, bringing them from drag and drop, to atleast automation scripts. I designed and planned a plan for them to get on to Azure cloud, using terraform and ansible, than moving to kubernetes when ready. Even templated out some of the services in TF. I built a Grafana + alloy + prometheus monitoring system for them. However the team has a GUI first approach to everything. They are also really small, and the company is in a total hiring freeze. This means the team is hesitant to take my plans to move forward, primarily because I am basically a intern there, essentially fixing all of their tech debt and out of date machines so that everyone has access. The Telemetry I setup for them, was built around the idea of cloud migration, however, the network engineer basically ignored me, and never opened the ports, so the telem stack is only collecting metrics on the telem machine I built....

So yea, that puts my experience in this weird spot, where I have a ton of personal experience at home, with my production grade server. Entry level experience at work, where I am held back by lack of title and lack of time. This is why I am looking for a entry to mid level job with kubernetes.

The things I know im missing is Certifications and Education on my resume. There is none to speak of, and im considering going to get a CKA, and AWS SAA.

Im aspiring to be a platform engineer, potentially a Platform Security Engineer. I have a good mind for security and loopholes, but I also have a good mind for finding and eliminating friction in workflow processes. My philosophy is that my work and design should be entirely invisible.

Edit: just want to clarify, im incredibly grateful to the company im working at, they gave me a oppurtinity to essentially be a intern, losing me in my actual role 2 days a week... While the team I am working with is a gui first approach, I am a Code first approach, and primarily push linux. In fact, I daily drive Linux on my desktop, with arch + Hyprland, essentially having built my own version of omarchy, before omarchy was even a thought in DHH's brain.
