I personally refuse live coding sessions during interviews, including whiteboard programming. If they require this during an interview the company’s not for me.
Don’t mind code challenges where I have a timeframe and can submit. It’s not how you code normally so why should it be how you’re hired?
It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here…
What did you upgrade to? I’m also still on a 1070 and dreading the upgrade. Thinking AMD 7000 series though.
Yep… need to see a Github or repo or OpenCollective or something that instils trust. If you’re asking for donations imo, it should be open source so people can see where the funds might be going (eg. Hosting).
Asking for money expecting blind faith is… kind of rude. If you expect someone to go to the trouble of donating put in some modicum of effort in at least writing a few paragraphs on what it is you’re doing.
I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see…

Thanks! That’s great to hear.
Not related to your initial issue… but a quick question as it appears you might have already figured out a lot regarding hosting your own instance.
Do you know if you can lock it down so that only you have an account on the instance? I’d like to run my own but I’d want membership locked so I just use the instance to federate content.
Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.
I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc… but definitely encrypt before upload imo.
I wonder how long it’d be until there’s a jailbreak or some modification available to drop all ads… essentially scoring yourself a free TV…
I run a second Unraid server with a couple of backup-related applications, as well as Duplicati. I have my main server network mounted and run scheduled jobs to both copy data from the main pool to the backup pool, as well as to Backblaze. Nice having the on-site backup as well as the cloud based.
I occasionally burn to 100gb blurays as well for the physical backup.
Yes… not a social network is it? Rubbish title this one.

Exactly. You’re being fed HTML etc and then deciding how to render it (or part of it in the case of ad blocking). This isn’t piracy. There’s no rules that come with the HTML in terms of how to render it. Different browsers can render it a number of different ways so how is not rendering part of it any different?
It is indeed a ludicrous idea.
I’ve used it for years, it’s solid. Mostly good quality and some very reliable uploaders.
While you’re right conceptually, this isn’t what the wording means in terms of consent dialogs. Legitimate interest means they can assume, legitimately, that you have an interest in aspects of the site (by you being there) that require X cookies, basically. Ie their product is providing functionality they can assume you’re interested in just by being there, and they’re “pre approving” the tracking/storage for that functionality.
I concur that it’s rubbish and used almost always in a manner that reeks of illegitimacy.
