I use swag, which is a pre-configured nginx with hundreds of sample configs for a lot of docker apps. It also has certproxy installed for letsencrypt and some added security. Worth looking at, imho.

If you have a pixel, graphene os is really good, very easy to install, and doesn't have any AI bloat. I've been using it for a few months now and cannot recommend it enough.

I was just thinking electricity should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive each Gw is. It'll never happen, but if we wanted to tackle this issue, it's what we should do.

We also use "I'm trying for a baby" as a euphemism for sex. In fact, my favorite euphemism is "just dropping the kids off at the pool"

I've been using Manjaro with Cinnamon for about a month now. It works great on an old Lenovo with 12gb ram. Probably going to stick with it when I build my desktop.

I think it's middle, bottom, then top.

Why

WHY NOT? Why not just waste a week of your life creating a react project just to coverup your insecurities of how incompetent you are. Just Why not!

At least they're self aware.

That case is gorgeous, what is it?

Do you hear a sea shanty?

Yeah, it should be "fig 1", "also fig 1, but the other half".

Shitting themselves in public. It doesn't happen often, maybe only a handful of times over your life. But it will happen at some point. You'll be at the urinal, or sat on a barstool, go for a cheeky fart, and feel a warm wetness you haven't felt since you were a baby. Then you run to a bathroom stall, see what you can salvage, and excuse yourself from the situation.

It'll happen to you at some point.

 

So I've been out of work for over a year now. I'm a software engineer with 20 years experience in Java, I have experience in over a dozen other languages, I've worked for companies of around 30 employees as well as big multinationals.

Over the last year, I've applied for literally hundreds of jobs, and I've gotten one interview, got all the way to the final stage of the process but missed out to someone with more experience of that specific framework they wanted. I was told that they really liked me, that my code was good even though I was learning that framework while doing the code test, and that I would integrate with the team very well, but they needed someone with more experience with the framework they use. They did say that if another position opened up this year that they'd get in touch.

So my question is, what the fuck do I do now? I'm still applying for every programming position that comes up on the job boards, I'm emailing recruiters to try to get my foot in the door, I'm teaching myself different frameworks and languages and building small demo apps to show what I can do, but I'm getting nowhere.

Five years ago, I had absolutely no issue getting a job. I'd literally have several job offers within a month of looking. Now there's nothing. For context, I'm in the UK.

So what are my options. What can I do to get work as a programmer in today's market? What else is there for me to do? How would I get started freelance if I've never done that before, and is that even a viable option? Are other people experiencing the same at the moment?

Please help, I'm getting desperate.
