How restricted? Waiting for my data request to see whether my region hasn't got it yet or if discord thinks I'm old
Is it possible to send dms to the group members???
So far haven't seen anything related to verifying or verification status on my end
i think i got reported for this
I can't send images in DMs that are marked "sensitive" which includes my fucking face, apparently.
I can't send the same images I've sent before
Yikes
This is considered a "sensitive" image btw
lol
let me guess.... the mask tripped some "suspicious activity" filter
Your eyes scare me
Who knows
is that you?
The end of an arc
if discord restricts my snow leopard posting I will unironically look into leaving too

I am pretty sure this is a Scunthorpe Problem
It viewed your face as a woman wearing a burka
never change man
And that's why it got flagged
why would a woman wearing a burqa cause a flag
Idk, racist AI?

not cool bro
discord a joke π₯
ill make a vencord plugin to bypass it

It goes up and down
Buy low,sell high
sometimes it goes down and down
its basically free money
if u buy the dip, I agree
silver at peak is deadly
as can be seen by that insane large red candle
I swear Vencord used to have a bypass for UK restrictions
Maybe it was patched?
discord switched which company they do it with

big mistake
Unless you're dealing with some web services and end up thinking it's some weird caching bug
But you accidentally copied your fix into a wrong folder...
(it was years ago, but I spent like 2h debugging it π€¦ - at some point I must've copied the files into a folder, probably by dragging files onto a folder vs just next to a folder in filezilla... then i must've entered that sub-folder for some reason - and seeing all the files made me think I was in correct place, instead of the accidentally nested copy)
and this is why you automate the crap out of stuff to avoid human error :)
Hey, I was a junior then XD
I think it was my first web project at work. We didn't even dockerize it then (hence direct upload to server for testing with another junior coworker), we experimented with dockerizing it later (and that coworker hardcoded ip for api inside their frontend files, lol)
Meanwhile much later: multi-stage dockerfile, Makefile with command that pulled version from a file and used that to tag the image, and a command that exported the image into nicely named archive (we had to deploy those images we made in the client infra, directly, as the machines didn't have access to the outside world to use image repo)
So yeah, I learned my lesson on complicated commands and user error π
that was trolling?
lame

I just a new project on github last night and its already got 3 stars and fork! im famous!
lmfao
whatβs the project
being a software engineer is awesome, literally everyone finds you useful lmao
countries will legit streamline visa for you and give you endless tax cuts
in my entire career I am yet to pay the normal tax rate, and its not like I mind paying it, Im a die hard european, all for high taxes, worker protections, and free healthcare
where tax cut
portugal, spain, netherlands, poland
almost everywhere worth living that doesnt include the US cuz they have supa high salaries anyway
Moving to Netherlands on a partner visa cause both internal company transfer and HSM visa weren't on the table for me. Where streamlined visa? π
y no HSM visa
Yo
the SM part is important for the streamlined thing
ah okay its a salary threshold thing
pfffft, typical nethetlands lmao
portugal is similar actually
1.5x minimum wage isnt hard tho
not in portugal at least
poland exactly the same I think?
we need engineers and we will treat you well for coming here
by we I mean entire European continent
REVERSE THE BRAIN DRAIN
im not sure how much id like it somewhere else though
one of the good things of being in the US is that we have a huge diaspora community, so I don't feel ethnically out of place
lmao
Continue it.
Couldn't even get to an interview with anyone while applying if I mentioned I needed sponsorship. (applications normally had a checkbox for that) Pretty sure currently there's too many skilled people in other EU countries that don't require an HSM visa to move to NL and work, so if someone applies to job with same skills as me, but does not require visa sponsorship, they're just a much easier option for a company to go for
Have reached a few interviews since starting to apply on the partner visa where sponsorship is not needed. So I doubt it was a CV issue
I guess switzerland is US-esque high salary anyway
being in a place different from where you used to is way harder than I expected
not gonna sugar coat it
matter fact, this whole experience opened my eyes to the importance of culture
before I respected culture, ppl have traditions and feel connected to them and to their ancestors and wtv
but after this I understand it truly goes deeper
before this mess I was living in a household with 2 other portuguese
and it was like we spoke thro telepathy
I actually never even spoke with any of them, but still, somehow, we established a functional social contract
even things related to how much each person should clean, the schedules, how to engage with the personality of each person, how to manage conflicts
it was an experience
it's the sort of thing that I had to be shown to believe
and u know how stubborn I can be
Not sure if I'd pin that down to culture though. I lived with a roommate 2 years ago. Same cultures. Thought it would go well, studied with the dude for 4 years after all. It did not go well.
We constantly clashed on cleaning schedules, finances of shared items, basic hygiene of cleaning up after yourself (he did not clean beard hair/toothpaste from sink after being done)
We both went our separate ways after a year of living together. He went back to living with his parents who clean up after him
On the other hand, me and my gf come from different cultures. When I've visited in 2 month intervals, we've not had any issues. Had to clarify something one or two times when it was vague on who's doing what, or if someone did something the other disliked, but that's it. It's always been easy even with different cultures
I know what I experienced lmao
it's like I could fit both of them into their own personality category, as if I'd seen that type of person before, and they did the same to me
they understood my boundaries and respected them
by that "type of person" I mean like, ya Ive seen that type.of portuguese dude b4, I can almost guess where he was born
The port of geese?
anybodyup there
Hmmm, hard to say
matter fact this has helped me immensely in interacting with people from other cultures
because now I know I dont just need to just understand the person that I have in front of me, I also need to understand the implicit assumptions, range of behaviors, and expectations that their culture dictates
that allows me to tap into the social lubricant effect that I experienced in the portuguese household due to our shared high context culture
this probly obvious to a lot of people, not obvious to me lmao
companies have shit way of evaluating candidates
Mostly, rather than to learn candidate's skill
The process is just, are the candidate satisfy the checkboxes for them to tick?
that aint true tho, Ive seen many brazilians around for example
I mean I actually cant kno if they came w/ HSM visa tho
but theres tons of them and its not that easy to come directly to the netherlands if u dont have a nice visa path, or a partner, or money
I do kno the company I was working at had relocated them
ppl from all over really
idk, the logic does make sense. and I myself noticed a stark difference in applying inside vs outside of europe
tho I was applying to the US, and they are famously hard to get into if you're not going via L1 visa
why is this one so orange
That's just my personal assumption. Is there any other reasonable explanation you could put forward as to why I was rejected for every single role when I was ticking the box for requiring sponsorship, vs now where I have reached at least a first interview 4/13 times? So about 30% of applications lead to a first interview currently.
Yes, very small sample size currently, started slow to not burn myself out like last time with rejection after rejection, also writing a personalized cover letter for everything, but since I'm actually getting interviews, I can probably speed up a bit. Also stopped applying mid last week since I'm flying over this week and had a bunch of other stuff I had to finalize, so I wouldn't have had much time for an interview
there could be so many explanations, it could be as crazy as the timing of macro economic trends like the odds of the ECB interest rate cuts changing
but your explanation is not unreasonable
I also heard the dutch job market was tighter than usual, maybe that changed recently as well. idk
why are its eyes squeezed shut

okay now i'm craving one of those spanish sardines with chili peppers in the can
you mean spicy ones or like actual peppers in the can
this is a funny
i find it crazy how claude.md or github-copilot.md files introduce me to the codebase better than the human-facing contributing.md
is reading ai agent instructions the new meta
you're absolutely right
Maybe in readmes people feel the need to overcomplicate things, to show how smart they are.
I suppose it might also be a case of thinking humans wouldnt care about all the exact details and trying to make the human facing documents more "friendly".
while the llm geared documents just very explicitly state everything in clear language so the llms get it
the spicy ones
Or perhaps people are so accustomed to their own code they don't feel a need to simplify it down enough, like once i know something super well I almost forget that it can still be difficult to learn for others
Like writing a function in python is like writing a sentence in English but I don't always remember that when helping beginners so I might not simplify it enough
Or perhaps the intended target audience is on the more technical side
Idk if I should take shower or fix the bug?
My readmes are designed for people who already understand networking and offensive security at least a little bit so you are kind of on your own
Any advice/constructive criticism is welcome.
Shower
I've been thinking about this for a day lol
Cold showers make me feel energetic tho
Why not both? Start by trying to understand the bug, then go shower and think about it, then fix the bug
as nicky said
think about the bug while showering
Why tf did my FIL get 4 cheap routers... I mean, I know why - they were on sale. But still... Who ends up configuring them? Me.
in the Philippines that's popular
yea, i'm from the Philippines so :p
I must see the codeeee
first
That's what I said, tho... To understand the bug, THEN think about it in the shower (eg knowing the structure of the code, think where it can actually be... or if you already know where, then consider different possible fixes), THEN fix
I already took the shower lol
I have four floors

home lab
You're goddamn right.
i only hve 1 room :(((
my home lab just occupies one room
ngl its a table actually
has 2 rapsberry pi (1 is pi4 and another is pi5), a rooted ubuntu server desktop, a television + monitor for display π₯Ί , a shelf with 8 racks full of electronic components, some dissected electronic toys of my younger sibling in the table and my main laptop

Hi Bilbo Baggins
Great heating, i can recommend
um nah. the computr is not really that good. kinda outdated. rpi5s just have a table fan cooler π
It's not about the power of a single device, but the number of devices working together can actually raise a temp of a small room. We actually started heating our home late this year because upstairs gets better sun exposure (big windows) + we had several computers running. Even now it's several Β°C warmer there. Some are in the main area (my partner's home office is open to daily area), some are in a room - that room is also warmer than the rest (despite windows there being small)
hello
damn. i dont feel much though. And its india. temperature is normally 32 degrees celsius during day
Ah
Yeah, I was thinking of Northern hemisphere's current winter. India is much lower on the map, you don't have winters

i knew this was gonna happen, but I still shook my head in disapproval
donald "peacemaker" trump
yea it wouldnt sting as much if he had not spent so much time begging for the nobel piece prize
no wars
maybe he was confused by the fact that Nobel invented dynamite
what did that ancient book about war said about trapping your enemy without a way out
Qatar also hit I think
europe and US will get hit through hybrid warfare
and terrorism, whatever they can muster
is this a tantrum bc his tariffs got repealed by SC
no, its opportunistic, the iranian regime is at its weakest
he doesn't have that kind of strategic faculty
it's a show of force from a regime that can feel it's control slipping
Nothing ever happens
never seen a meme die so fast
Does iran have nukes
we have a new large scale war in the middle east
US will get dragged in for years
we also gonna feel it through inflation
as if the covid inflation hadnt been enough
and this plan of letting the "people of iran take over their government" just sounds a lot like that power vacuum that gave us ISIS
haha, guess who started it
the US started it lmao
tho even a sizeable chunk of trumps base is against this
maga getting a reality check rn
Its real and true
iran was one of those funny countries that harbored the last remaining f14 tomcats, and kept them through the air
I've heard a few different schools of thought on the iran subject
but the two main stream thoughts
are you ready to die for israel
or
Are you Ready to free persia
Me personally I haven't Heard anyone ask him what the win conditions of the conflict would be
hey mar long time no see
us wants to build base in middle east to control middle east and asia, ofc iran should destroy them cuz trump thinks he can control whole world
Israel is getting chummy with usa only cuz iran was providing resources to palestine
so coincidently they have common enemy
in this situation only usa is wrong
and its not the first time trump is provoking a war
it's so over π₯π₯
Israel's been chummy with the US
the us keeps pumping them full of tax dollars, weapons, and political support
the US already has several bases in the middle east
"the us wages war on iran"
"nothing ever happens"
where were the nothing ever happens people when russia invaded ukraine
errm actukually the us has not declared war on iran
Its instance#2 of the us and israel hitting iran
Nothing ever happens
I dont think you're even reading the news tbh
trump said, and I quote, that they are starting "major combat operations"
this is not a limited targeted strike
these are sustained naval and air operations
It just a major combat operation
lol a little disingenious the point
my *point I mean
except for major wars and global pandemics with far reaching decades long economic consequences
otherwise nothing ever happens guys
glad we agree on something
the only question that matters is oil futures on Monday
yea this is all gonna make me a lot of money cuz I anticipated it
i have become what I hate
π₯²
The pandemic was a happening sure
All this military posturing and isolated strikes and such arent
what about irans economic collapse
that not a happening ?
also lots of people have died already
this aint posturing
Its not exactly a global phenomenon
unless murder is posturing
the global economic impact of this not a global phenomena?

Africa
yes
No more Africa, A new name
Equatoria
it sounds small but it actually kind of important, it very rude to get the name wrong of people and nations, and changing names of cities and nations are always a major turning point
Is africa wrong
that not a bad name tbh
it has earlier roots, but the name africa was fuctionally given to them by europe
which they have mixed feeling towards
or really bad ones
punjab
india
other people do it
india is the same
Lots of places are named after what other people call them
Names are powerful. Being able to choose or reclaim your name affirms dignity, history, and self-determination.
if your not proud of European Origins YOU should make real efforts to change them
meh, proud is a weird word
like y should I be proud of how europe came to be
yeah I was wrong its Bhrahat I just know a disproportional amount of pepple from the indian state of Punjab
lol
Africans can and should have a native name for their continent but they cant exactly control how others call it (or them)
just make it a hoop to do business on the contient, if you jump through it you can save time and money
I actually had a shot of rabies vaccine

If you legally outlaw discrimination based on caste, itβs contradictory to base your welfare system on those same historical caste categories.

being vegan is awesome lmao
tho I wonder what would happen to the chart if everyone turned vegan
ah, soy beans would plummet as well
cuz the vast majority is grown to feed the cattle
beef should be a luxury item.
It is
sure, but in the real sense, of it being a scarce item.
I am neither vegetarian or vegan, but it is pretty obvious that beef + high human population density are incompatible.
maybe have it as scarce as venison perhaps.
also cows are hella cute
Venison isnt scarce tho
Neither is scarce but theyre both luxury
People dont get to eat beef every day
Theres nothing wrong with eating meat
We dont have any sort of moral obligation to stop eating meat
cows might also die out
unless you dedicate a lot of money to keeping them alive unaturally
Reducing eating meat is actually more realistic than everyone just becoming vegan/vegetarian. Some orgs don't get that and instead turn people away from any idea of vege diet by pushing it too aggressively
the human tolerance for wild cows is not high I'd imagine
The more regulations we have regarding animal welfare, then hopefully the meat industry will slow down and don't produce as much. Like EU regulations about how many chickens can be kept at a given area...
oh yeah, the Developing world also like eating for some reason
that something to think about
All the meat i eat is local or EU
Dont care about the developing world
Its too far away
my last meal was vegetarian: channa massala with bread. Super satisfying.

idk what u talking about, u kno u wrong. a major war is not nothing
u keep telling yourself that, but its also your tax euros being sent to ukraine
Its not a major war
elaborate
I don't think it's required
If a couple strikes with no follow up are "major war" then we're already in "major war" since last time Israel bombed Iran
So nothing has changed
no followup?
It all feels very much like fear mongering to me
An escalation? Ground invasion? Anything else besides flinging poop at each other from a safe distance?
Its just more of the same

you are far less petty than most folks here
I did learn it the hard way
,
bet against it
can you do that? or do you need to bet for a specific guy?
ya, not sure if 11% is that worth it tho
gotta compare it with what you expect to obtain from regular investments within the same timeframe
metals are mooning for example
??
if you bet against "yes" and "yes" has an 11% probability, then your return on investment if you win is 11%
that particular market ends on october
and there are other assets that can give you more than 11% from here to october
thats if it ends with 11% amount of yes
but yeah, of course, lets find another thing that gives at least 11% in an year
the absolute minimum you want is above 3.5% if youre in the US or 2.2% if youre in europe. because thats the return you get from lending to the government

i didn't sell at 20, cause i got greedy
now its at 15
i don't want to sell it cause i'm greedy now too
the trick is to DCA in reverse
no no no
sell a bit today, then a bit the next day, etc
that way you average a good exit point even if its not the absolute best
technically speaking it is
i know its actualy good
but trading is about psychology
but in reality
i put money in X cause i knew it was undervalued
thats why i got my price to be at 11
i knew it was cheap when i was buying it
my problem was i got super greedy and didn't sell when i should have
"just put your money in an index fund" is technically a sound and easy thing to do
but in reality you gotta withstand seeing your entire life savings get halved with multiple market crashes
i was 100% above and thought i was gordon gecko
s&p is the way to go for a retirement fund though
the problem is when you want to cash out but not lose your position
selling is the hardest part
but remember, no one ever went broke for taking profit
if i had done what i should have
i would have netted 20% and not have lost a single paper
in like 4 years
thats not bad
dont sweat it, the market is full of opportunities
u miss one, in a couple weeks theres another
i think the hardest part is
"ok, i'll sell this
and then i'll buy it back"
like, say, i also bought another thing
i bought it at 1.2, and sold it at 3.4
made some money there, but only change money, it was a bet for a push, i didn't put too much money, and also didn't take it as a
buy -> sell -> buy
dunno if it make sense?
im not following
if i buy a paper, then sell it for more than i bought it
ya
thats okay, but its not as good as if
i buy a paper, sell it, then buy the same amount of shares again at a lower price than i sold them
sure
y buy the same asset tho
yes, and same amount
i always rebalance
you say, buy 10 papers at X, sell at X * 2, then buy again at X
I dont trust the ASML trade rn, so I got out and will be back in if it falls to 1k
anything AI is supa crowded
supposedly the chinese got litography right now
so asml is not as good as it was a few years ago
they are decades behind ASML, but ASML is priced for perfection
yeah but they got shenzhen
i dunno, i wouldn't bet on these kind of tech stuff if you do not know how its really going on
id rather cut that and bet on smaller stuff
last time I checked, no one is even really trying to compete with ASML
lol
i would not put my money there right now
id put it on the other one
no sorry
i was actually looking for asml
you are right
they tryna different angles or wtv, but from what I read ASML has total monopoly on their newest stuff
mightve changed
i think the play right now is to wait for the 10k push
and then swithc my money to asml and btc
its a x2 or x3 or more in like 5 years range
thats how i lost all my entries in btc in the last 5 years
i believe it will go up
youre kinda right tho
asml, i think its hard tech, unique for western tech progress
dunno if chinese can do similar litography, maybe so, but still, asml is it
wallstreet will eventually take interest again and pump the price to scam each other and also scam retail lmao
there's demand for chips and card sand shit, asml is the guy who makes them
as soon as i have a nice price to sell my previous tech shit, i think i should go to that
btc, (cause its down), and asml
maybe im wrong though
check europe, its mooning rn
but i think thats the conservative play
iran war probly gonna cause a good entrypoint too
im not smart enough nor have enough money to play that kind of stuff
what do you expect to do? short or long petrol?
i have no idea actually, I think OPEC said they gonna pump their production up to compensate for the shipping constraints
im trusting metals to do the heavy lifting for me
they pumped hard on friday
likely cuz iran invasion schedule leaked into wall street somehow
gold and silver?
im on both, but I've been slowly taking profit on silver already
no, I swing trade
lol
I dont put that much time in it, just like to know things and anticipate events and etcs
a swing can be from a couple weeks to several months
" a guy who trades for an year is golden, one who trades fro 5 years goes back to average"
i dont wanna compete directly with wall street, but also dont wanna go full bogglehead
i actually got a friend right now who is in the mental house
so swing trade at mid freq is a nice compromise
i think the phrase is
"everyoen is golden on the bull market"
or sth like that?
i don't remember the actual good quote
everyone is a genius in a bull market
i actually got a friend who is in a mental house right now
but we not really in a strong bull market
i think its the third month right now he has been in
what about it
he basically lost it when btc went down
oof
ya
and the dip made him flip
that sucks
we still dunno the specifics of it
we do know that this guy here gave him 100k, this other guy 30, etc, like there's a lot of stories of guys who gave money
and we know that he started becoming more and more paranoid as btc went down
so we assume
over-leveraging with other people money is next level degen behavior tho
also cause he would try to sell us (his friends) for some leverage schemes with shitcoins
yes 100%
cautionary tale however
im gonna use leverage at some point, but after having way more experience
i think we are nearing the 3rd or 2.5 month of him in the mental hospital
try to keep in mind
the number he was probably working with
wwe actually tried to calc that
but did you know he was doing that ?
cuz if u knew its also kinda your fault lmao
oh yeah, like he tried to make me put money on a shit coin 3 years ago
he pushed me for 10k first, then for 1
his idea was:
"btc won't x10 again, but a good shitcoin will, i can study the shitcoins and seek a good one"
i didn't put money there cause i had a pevious crypto friend
and i had quite realized that not even ethereum wasn't a shitcoin, that the only really viable thing was btc
but apparently he did convince a lot of people
but then he was leveraging cause the market wasn't wrking as fast as he wanted and he wanted to make quick money
well, i hope he find a way to get out of that mess
we were joking the other day
probably btc will go up in some time
how fun would it be if he talked them out of killing him
and then he made all the money back lol
best path is to make a payment arrangement and he find a job
yeah
the problem is that though
he got money from a lot of places
he is in no shape to say who did or did not, etc
and like, how do you fix this situation?
idk, you all took a risk, and you're all suffering the consequences
no yeah i know
its how it works
but you got guys who might be asking for more than they signed up for
u dont even have records ?
we do not know if he kept records
but this is a good q though
cause is the issue
surely each individual person can produce a proof of transfer
like one of the first reactions of one of my friends
was to fuck up the guys pestering him
like, there's this situation that evolves from it, where there's also a lot of grab attempts
ex: maybe someone put X money fully knowing it might end up in 0, but they would try to abuse the situation to get an out
its kind of a strange thing, cause this guy also lost his parents some time ago, so basically at this point
from what we have surmised
we are basically his ceiling
right?
like, its our responsibility to try to help him
otherwise, even though its true maybe in some cases he should give out a lot of money, in other cases he might be crowed up
does it make sense "crowed up"?
bitten up? eaten?
and the guy is like, just leaving a mental institution, like, yeah, its us or he is gonna get fucked
if he borrowed money then lost it all and cant pay back I think thats like some sort of crime
no
were you from?
the money was all black money
which is, exactly, why it is such a problem
its all "i said, he said" "but he was in a mental institution"
for example, i do not believe the numbers ive heard
my friends do though, so maybe i'm wrong
i dont believe them cause i would never have given so much money to this guy lol
regardless doe, its a fucked up situation
if everything people claim is true, he lost something around half a mill
europe
and more, cause he went into the place when btc was at like 80/90k
so these couple months he lost 30% more
its hard to have sympathy for anyone in that situation then
and thats assuming he was full on btc
thats not strange for this kind of thing in south america
im at argentina
if you would have put money on cryptos before Milei
u can still not choose to give money to someone who wants to over-leverage on crypto
yes i agree
thats what ive ben saying all along
"Who gives X that much money??"
like he made the speech to me like 2 years ago
but apparently it worked lol
my take at that point in time was: everything is a shitcoin, i wont put a single dollar in anything other than btc
his line was: bitcoin might go up x2, x4, but when btc goes up other shitcoins go up x50, x100, "if i can catch the ones that do"
also y pay a third party to do it for you when u can do it yourself
most people have no clue about crypto
then dont put money in it
system is working as it should
say, my dad wanted to put money into it since 2010
if you have 0 information to give to the market, market will punish you
