I love taking screenshots and even wrote a script a while back to take screenshot when there is mouse movement periodically when handling incidents, i also have crontab job to compress and gpg encrypt the folder with my key at the end of the day if it's not empty. This, together with another script to record all terminal activities during incident helped me a lot of time in the past when writing up post incident write-up after many late nights!
Unfortunately i only see the old version here with flameshot taking screenshot at full resolution.. my few later versions turn screenshot to black and white and applied a few imagemagick tweaks to make screenshot file incredibly smaller to store but you get the idea :):

I used to use pinboard[1] but since I started dicking around with self hosting I use Wallabag[2] for “read it later” articles and linkding [0] for saving links that I want to refer to later. Linkding is pretty much a self hosted pinboard
UK supermarkets are crap, and have got noticeably crapper in recent years. At even large mid-tier supermarkets you will find a paltry range of fruit and veg, and a maeger selection of almost entirely prepackaged meat and fish. I have noticed many things are routinely out of stock and it can be a lottery shopping for a specific recipe.
I recently visited Portugal, and in a small city supermarket there was a bakery, meat and a fish counters and a wide variety of produce, all labelled clearly by variety name. It put my local large supermarket to shame. The prices were cheaper too.
I find this every time I shop on the continent. Are our standards that much lower? Is it just Brexit? I yearn for a European supermarket experience in the UK.
I am a lawyer, working in finance. So, really nothing to do with tech. I have an interest in programming and other hacker-y topics which is why I'm here.
I kind of ended up in my career at random. When I first decided to go into law I never thought I would end up working in finance. I like my job (most of the time) but I have often wondered why I didn't go into software development instead. One reason, I think, is that it's easier to do programming as a hobby than law, so this way I get to explore two very distinct disciplines.
I just beat Sekiro last month and picked up Elden Ring this month. I think Miyazaki is a genius - FromSoft smashed it out of the park with this one, and I honestly had no idea how he could outdo himself after the masterpieces that were Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro.
Developers are not hostile to their users, businesses are. To add to good points made in other posts (users are not customers, time to market is more important than polish): business does not serve customer's (expressed) needs, it serves customer's (revealed) buying behaviour. In other words, who cares if users say they are unhappy as long as the money is rolling in.
I’m almost 30 and I’m still chasing the career I want.
I’m in IT, but I want to be in software dev.
I want to build things, not just fix them.
When I was 17 a company poached my from my technical high school and put me in the field to learn by doing. It went great, but it’s not the career I want.
I need to find the same opportunity but in a software developer role. I’m confident that I’ll be a sponge and I’ll produce results quickly under someone’s wing, but it’s rare that someone wants that with such competitive market.
If someone here is curious about this, please reach out, I’m willing to take it as a second job part time if you can’t pay much, or even if you can’t pay. All I need is an opportunity to get my foot in the door.
