I'm in the same boat. Though I'm not even planning to look for FTE positions. I said to myself years ago my current employer will be my last. Now I'm freelancing/consulting with some ex-colleagues [while still tethered to a 9-5 😁]

Consider your age too. 35+? Maybe 40+?
Salary expectations are high. Mental flexibility slightly degraded.
+ being stuck in one company for 8yrs suggests being stuck to one stack, one set of problems. [suggests, not means]
just my 2ct -
@lorentz well, my manager pinged me with this prospect project ~2 weeks ago. My first reaction was: 'I hope I won't have to travel? Considering my situation at home..'. His answer was: "don't worry, if there is a need to go abroad -- I'll go instead of you haha". Then his manager pings me: "hi, so I'm told you have been informed you are going to IE in 2 weeks, for 2 weeks. Your participation is mandatory".

@Lensflare 1st world problems, ey?

"Do you reckon javascript would be a good fit for this?"

well, a long time ago a mouse had an affair with a midget dragon and many years later vampires were born.
It's 2nd grade magic history basics.. -

Would I want immortality? hmm, let's see...
imagine eternal exhaustion from cancer. Or after your body is mutilated after some accident. And you living with that... forever.
Imagine being stuck in a cave for centuries. No food. No water. No light. No fresh water to drink or wash yourself. That constant itch, those germs eating you alive, those fungi growing their spores into your skin and lungs. For centuries.
Imagine a war emerging and your body being cut in half. And you left with your intestines dangling, laying in the battlefield. Left to rot or become food for scavenging animals and birds. Unable to die while eaten alive.
Naah, I'm good, thanks.
If I could also have the miraculous power to heal myself and the ability to teleport myself to places -- then sure, why not.
Otherwise... immortality can very quickly turn into a curse, a literal living hell -- all it takes is 1 mistake, 1 foot slip. -

@chatgpt why is there no NaN nor +/-inf in JSON? It is in javascript, and JSON is a javascript's object notation, so.. what gives?
Or maybe they are available in JSON spec, after all, we just can't find it? -
#!/bin/bash
and then
random_clean=$(echo "$random_raw" | tr -d ' ')
hex_string=$(make_random_hex_string | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]') # Uppercase hex
I mean, why.....? :D
random_clean=${random_raw// /}
hex_string=$(make_random_hex_string)
hex_string=${hex_string^^}
Nice project though! -
@CoreFusionX outdated -- naah. As long as people do legacy stuff - no solution loses its importance.
As for contacting you - that's a bit more involving than running a google search and finding your posts from long ago :) -
Hit and miss in my case

Unix epoch's 1st birthday. Linux got adopted widely and exploded the industry? Just a wild guess, since it's DEVrant :)

My spirit is waiting for the late evening and then I'll pour it to where it belongs

@retoor though I believe people who have touched modsecurity DO understand :)
-
@retoor go ahead. I sure feel like one...
-
@jestdotty True. It's better here.
-
@Tounai It's everyone's personal choice. Hence, the preamble addresses this post to those on the fence.
-
@tosensei ahh, but you HAVE heard of him
-
@retoor what happened?
-
Agriculture and forestry
although not sure about it.. I really like being in nature. Mastering those areas would most likely kill the enjoyment -
@12bitfloat yeah.. I've also seen enough raid 1s and 5s and 10s fail as soon as the faulty disk is removed -- the remaining good one/spare sometimes dies that exact moment. Other times - when replication starts into the spare.
Naah. Data is not safe enough on RAIDs to deserve to be called a backup -
a backup of WHAT? data? no. Hardware/disk? yes.
If you corrupt your data by a ransomware on one of them, it will be automatically corrupt on the other one(s).
It is NOT a backup of your data. But it's a backup of your storage device. -
@chatgpt why do polish people feel so condescending and pose themselves as superior of sorts? Idk if that's true everywhere, but I can definitely tell a pole from a bative lithuanuan: the latter will be far more humble and simpler of a person, easier to talk to than the former. Is this the case everywhere? Any ideas why?

@retoor wdym?

mine is not ID, unfortunately. Needed 7 seats and a reliable machine. So I got a Tayron -
You're a dick

@Demolishun yes I am

@angerydev thanks!
Well, to be fair, I can't think of any way my old trusty a6 would suck. Apart from being morally outdated ofc -- it's 20 years old after all.. Older than some of us on this platform :) -
@retoor I'm curious about the ID. EVERY1
