Home server tips and security for beginners?
  • I think entirely separate VMs in different VLANs might be a bit much for a beginner to setup correctly. The Isolation that Docker and it's networking Provides might be enough to start, no?

  • Help choosing an android tv box
  • I have an Nvidia Shield TV. With 150$ its outside of your price range, sadly.

    But: I've been running this thing for 7 years now and its still trucking. Compared to other smaller streaming sticks that have become unusable because of bloat firmware updates over time.

    You can install custom firmware on it, but my understanding is that when you want streaming apps like Netflix or Disney to give you more than 720p output, you need the official OS.

    If you want to Dodge the ads on the launcher, there are alternative launchers that can simply be sideloaded.

    I don't use Jellyfin but I have all my movies on an SMB share that I'm accessing via Kodi. The hardware is strong enough to decode any format you throw at it.

    lknuth.dev Design a Technical Interview

    Last year, the company I work for was looking to hire a Backend Engineer. We wanted somebody who was a senior or on their way to becoming one.

  • You just have to put in a little more effort. I have avoided Amazon for a year now by buying from smaller shops found through price comparison portals. Also, I buy more stuff in the local brick-and-mortar shops. And I buy less bullshit. All in all, my live hasn't gotten any worse.

    There is value in complaining, even if you don't have solutions. You can only make people aware of the consequences that their actions have caused by telling them.

    I don't even take issue with him posting this publicly to his own Dev blog. I think its a perfectly fine piece of on-the-job experience OP has shared. Maybe in a few years he would like to come back to it with a different perspective.

  • What’s your white whale?
