I wasn't going to read the article until I read your comment. Wtf!

I was going to bring up the Herman miller Arron, but that released in 1994!

Looks to be about 50/50 between the dictionaries I looked at. Wikipedia includes friends in it's definition.

My understanding is that is included in nepotism nowadays (used to be family only, now more general)

My favourite tech interview technique was the code review style. Give them some code with a range of deliberate issues and ask them to code review it live on the call.

Tests their code comprehension and as you can ask them questions live, it's reasonably AI proof (I think). You can ask them to refactor things on the call, which tends to be something AI is weak at. It also requires no take home work for the applicant.

My company has just said that AI use in the interview is fine, but we will be asking questions as they work through it to check they actually understand things.

That's a lot of useful info, thanks!

What do you want to run in a VM that can’t run in Docker?

a VM with torrent client and a killswitched VPN was the easiest way to get a secure setup. also meant if it ever got virused I could just roll it back. I need to look more into what docker can actually do by the looks of it.

You are the second person to suggest unraid - is it ok to sit on the perpetual license (for a few years at a time), or are the updates really required? It supports GPU passthrough right, so I can have a 'normal' linux desktop for gaming while running the other stuff in the background?

TY for the response!

I only know of it from LTT videos I think, not exactly the best endorsement!

That's a lot of data (relatively)! Are you paying for the unraid license yearly, or just sitting on an old version?

Here ya go: https://selfh.st/apps/

oooh, TY! Now to guess which ones will still be maintained in 5 years 😆

I guess I must as well have a play with some stuff like jellyfin to see if its useful. The 'server' in this case would have a 6 year old GPU in it, so should hopefully have enough grunt.

Thanks for the info!

ah sorry, my new ISP gave me a router, but it doesn't have any VPN functionality on it (Edited OP to make that clear). My old one probably can't support the speed, and for some reason doesn't let me change its MAC address, so I can't use it as the ISP facing device.

I'm paying for a static IP (and to get off cg-nat)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

  • Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
  • Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
  • Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

  • VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
  • Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
  • Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
  • Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
  • ~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
  • Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
 

RIP professor McGonagall
