  • An interview is an opportunity for both of you to decide if it’s a good fit. Unfortunately the seeker is usually happy to accept anything. Lying is counter productive. They only want to hear any reason that you picked their workplace. Consider it structured small talk and focus on your energy.

    I generally say: "let’s be realistic, I’m not passionate about what your company does. I am here to trade my time for wages and I have heard good ones about [company name].

    Elaborate by mentioning something from their website to appear engaged and interested. Say you were a perfect fit because you meet all the requirements, talk about a friend who works there, mention using their products or services, or just mention that it’s close to your house and will be a short commute. Ultimately this is a soft question that is just to get a quick idea of each person applying.










  • On a very specific note, I don’t run my Plex server in a container. I have a docker compose setup with 20+ apps, but Plex is on the bare metal OS because it’s kinda finicky and doesn’t like nas. You also need to setup the Plex API to claim the server as the container name changes. This is my stock Plex config if it helps

    plex:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
        container_name: plex
        network_mode: host
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=1000
          - TZ=Etc/GMT
          - VERSION=docker
          - PLEX_CLAIM= #optional
        volumes:
          - /home/null/docker/plex/:/config
          - /x:/x
          - /y:/y
          - /z:/z
        restart: unless-stopped
    

  • It’s built on the shipping container parallel. In order to transport objects you obfuscate anything not required for shipping a container.

    • What’s inside the container doesn’t matter. The container has everything it needs to run because the ship/host is responsible for the overhead.
    • containers move. Containers are setup to run by themselves, so you can move it from one ship to another. This means you can use your container doesn’t care if it’s in the cloud or a shipping vessel
    • As soon as you open a container your stuff is there. It’s very easy to onboard.
    • Most importantly though, your shipping container isn’t a full boat by itself. It lives in a sandbox and only borrows the resources it needs like the hosts CPU or the boats ability to float. This makes it easier to manage and stack because it’s more flexible


  • I attempted to find the article but search engines are terrible. They mentioned that advertising companies often have a book of mail tests; things they attempted to mail to see if they would be permitted. Some of the examples included:

    A sock with an address written on it, partial addresses, wet paper, vague addresses like your example, local names like “sues bar”, tom cruises house, a sandwich in a bag, poster board, flags. They get pretty creative and like a record of what might work for pitch meetings. Generally if it looks plausible, they attempt it.

    People really love taco bell. It’s cheap, accessible and is injected with addictive sugar and fats. Their phone app is a privacy nightmare, food is low grade, but people love it so much that they learn what time food gets thrown out to get higher quality. Its practically a cult/religion. One of my friends is a fanboy and orders everything vegi + meat because it’s cheaper than the normal meat versions.

    Or we just go back to the old way; where a company sells a product and consumers just own it. Why does a static piece of software/video require a license? Updates used to be optional, but then company’s started selling broken stuff and writing out exclusions until we had no other options.
