Anyway, I’m going to have to fall in line and waste time on leetcode/Hackerrank which wouldn’t be useful after the interviews 🤦‍♂️

I hate toy puzzles that are gatekeeping good tech interviews. When does a senior engineer need to use “shuffle items in a sorted array, in-place, without using more than two items space, while being judged by an interviewer” in their daily job?
TBF as easy as it is, why such interview questions?

A storage box/headboard built for a friend. #woodworking Oak plywood face, rustic solid oak top.

That border… would it hold for wood movement?

Mine from a few years ago. 😊

Trying “drill free” soft close hinge for the first time. Seems alright although there is not much room for error when fitting. #woodworking #DIY

Sure looks better. Small achievement unlocked.

Yes, a long due upgrade since I live in a neighborhood that is among the only few residential blocks in a commercial block. The current ADSL is quite congested at peak times. Also, I’m looking for that low latency experience from fiber to the house.

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back.

So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!)

Been waiting for this orange cable for very long. It brings me joy this morning!

Finding it really hard to justify building my first personal #NAS. I’ve got the tech covered. The data I’ve got is tiny.. personal photos, Music, some videos, Documents, ebooks and code repos. What content do you store in your NAS?

My workbench - for tiny wood shed, made with my son, holds table saw snugly, absurdly heavy, has wide lips on the edges for clamping. No T-tracks, Dog holes or any fancy features (got no time for that). Oregon pine + Exterior grade Plywood table top.

My dream workbench is the one I have built.. for my tiny shed.. with my son. Simple, ridiculously heavy, and fits my needs.

Scrap wood + spare time = “Robota” as my son calls it..
